Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to a vehicle control method, device and vehicle. Background Art

[0003] With the rapid development of technology, intelligent and connected vehicle technologies are being widely adopted in vehicles. Through voice, gestures, touchscreen operation, and other methods, users can flexibly control their vehicles, providing a more intelligent and convenient driving experience. However, these intelligent functions may have some adverse consequences in car wash scenarios, potentially causing property damage or even personal injury to users. Therefore, how to control the vehicle to ensure the normal operation of the car wash process and improve the user experience and safety in the car wash scene is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle control method, device, and vehicle for flexibly controlling vehicle components so that the status of the vehicle components meets the requirements of the vehicle's usage scenario (such as a car wash scenario), thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0006] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a control device. The control device can be abstracted as a computer system. The control device can be an entire machine, or a component of an entire machine, such as a system chip or a processing chip. Specifically, the control device can be a terminal device or vehicle-mounted device such as an on-board computing platform, an on-board controller, or a vehicle-mounted computer in a vehicle, or a system chip, a decision processing chip, or other type of chip in a computer system that can be set in a vehicle or on-board device.

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method, which can be applied to a control device. The method includes: when the first mode of the vehicle is turned on, obtaining a first parameter of the vehicle, the first parameter including the vehicle speed and / or gear; and when the first parameter meets a first condition, executing a first operation corresponding to the first mode, the first operation including turning off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, in one possible implementation, the first mode may be a car wash mode. When the car wash mode of the vehicle is turned on, if the vehicle speed and / or gear position meets the first condition, the automatic power-on function of the vehicle may be turned off. The automatic power-on function is a power-on mechanism of the vehicle, that is, when the control device detects that the door is open or the vehicle is unlocked, it controls the vehicle to power on. Therefore, the control device turns off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening of the door in the car wash scenario, so that the car wash operation can proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user's car wash experience. In another possible implementation, the first mode may also be other modes that need to avoid problems similar to the car wash scenario, such as a camping mode, or other custom modes.

[0009] In this embodiment of the present application, the first parameter includes vehicle speed and / or gear position. When the first parameter satisfies a first condition, the first operation corresponding to the first mode is executed. That is, in this embodiment of the present application, the vehicle is allowed to enter the first mode only when the first parameter satisfies the first condition. For example, the vehicle is allowed to enter the first mode when the vehicle speed is very low but not zero; alternatively, the vehicle may be allowed to enter the first mode in multiple gear positions.

[0010] In one possible design, the above-mentioned first condition includes that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the first threshold value and / or the vehicle gear is the first gear. It can be understood that the car wash scene in the embodiment of the present application involves a stationary car wash scene and a mobile car wash scene. In the stationary car wash scene, the vehicle speed is 0, that is, the vehicle is in a stationary state; in the mobile car wash scene, the vehicle speed is not 0, that is, the vehicle is in a moving state. Among them, the first gear can be P gear or N gear. For example, the first condition can be that the vehicle speed is 0 and the vehicle gear is P gear; accordingly, when the vehicle is in P gear and the speed is 0, the control device turns off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening of the door in the stationary car wash scene, thereby allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience. For another example, the first condition may be that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to 3 km / h, and the vehicle gear is N gear; accordingly, when the vehicle is in N gear and the speed is less than 3 km / h, the control device turns off the vehicle's automatic power-on function, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening of the door in a mobile car washing scenario, thereby allowing the car washing operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0011] In one possible design, the above-mentioned first operation also includes controlling the vehicle to power off and / or shut down a first function of the vehicle, and the first function includes at least one of an automatic locking function, an early warning function, a remote monitoring function or a remote control function.

[0012] In the embodiments of the present application, "vehicle power off" can be understood as shutting down all circuits in the vehicle, that is, the vehicle's power supply equipment stops providing power to the vehicle. When the vehicle is powered off, all vehicle components are de-energized. Therefore, in this design, when the first mode is enabled, the control device controls the vehicle to power off, which can prevent the user from moving the vehicle or causing insulation failure due to misoperation during the car wash scenario, thereby effectively improving the safety of the user's car wash and making it easier for the user to clean the vehicle's internal components (such as the on-board display screen), thereby effectively improving the convenience of the car wash operation.

[0013] In the embodiments of this application, the automatic locking function is a locking mechanism, whereby the control device locks the vehicle when it detects a user leaving the vehicle or the doors are closed. In one possible implementation, the early warning function, also known as "sentry mode," is a vehicle safety monitoring mechanism, whereby the control device detects an emergency and controls the prompt device to output a corresponding early warning message. For example, if the control device detects a stranger touching the vehicle, it can control the prompt device to output a corresponding warning tone. The remote control function is a controlled mode of the vehicle, whereby the vehicle's components are controlled by the user terminal. Therefore, in this design, when the first mode is enabled, the control device disables the automatic locking function. This prevents users from frequently entering and exiting the vehicle or frequently opening and closing the doors during a car wash, which could cause the vehicle to frequently lock. This allows the car wash to proceed normally, further enhancing the user's car wash experience. Furthermore, when the first mode is enabled, the control device disables the early warning function, preventing users from touching the vehicle during a car wash, which could trigger an alarm message. This effectively prevents the alarm message from disrupting the user, further enhancing the user's car wash experience. Furthermore, when the first mode is enabled, the control device disables the remote control function, which prevents vehicle components from being remotely controlled by the user terminal device during the car wash scenario and avoids interference with the car wash personnel caused by the remote control. This allows the car wash operation to proceed normally, further enhancing the user's car wash experience. It should be understood that in this embodiment of the present application, one or more of the automatic locking function, the warning function, or the remote control function can be disabled simultaneously, and specific adjustments can be made to suit different car wash scenarios.

[0014] In one possible design, the first operation also includes adjusting the status of vehicle components, including but not limited to one or more of the following: gear position, trunk lock, front trunk lock, door lock, windows, door handles, charging port cap, fuel filler cap, wipers, exterior mirrors, interior mirror, sunroof, sunroof, sunshade, steering wheel, and seats. In this design, when the first mode is activated, the status of the components is adjusted to meet the requirements of a car wash scenario. For example, if the component includes a vehicle gear position, when the first mode is activated, the control device adjusts the gear position to P or N, adapting the vehicle's gear position to different car wash scenarios. For another example, if the component includes a door handle, when the first mode is activated, the control device adjusts the door handle to a retracted position, effectively preventing water from entering the vehicle through the door handle during exterior washing. For another example, if the component includes a steering wheel, the control device can adjust the position and angle of the steering wheel. For another example, if the component is a seat, the control device can adjust the seat's position, angle, or posture to prevent it from blocking other components inside the vehicle, making it easier for the user to clean the components. For another example, if the component is a sunroof, the control device can adjust its light transmittance to ensure sufficient light inside the vehicle, making it easier for the user to clean the components inside the vehicle. For another example, if the component is a sunshade, the control device can adjust its opening / closing or its position to facilitate cleaning the inside of the vehicle windows. For another example, if the component is a sunroof, when the first mode is enabled, the control device can control the sunroof to close, effectively preventing water from entering the vehicle through the sunroof when cleaning the exterior. For another example, if the component is a front trunk lock, the control device can adjust the front trunk switch or the angle of the switch to facilitate cleaning the front trunk lock. For another example, if the component is a rear trunk lock, the control device can adjust the rear trunk switch or the angle of the switch to facilitate cleaning the rear trunk lock. For another example, when the component is an exterior rearview mirror, the control device can adjust the angle of the exterior rearview mirror to facilitate the user to clean the vehicle body. For another example, when the component is an interior rearview mirror, the control device can adjust the angle of the interior and exterior rearview mirrors to facilitate the user to clean the vehicle body.

[0015] Furthermore, the above-mentioned stationary car washing scene includes an interior car washing scene and an exterior car washing scene. The interior car washing scene is to clean the parts inside the vehicle, and the exterior car washing scene is to clean the parts on the outside of the vehicle.

[0016] In one possible design, the first mode includes a first submode for cleaning a first area within a vehicle, the first area including the vehicle's first display screen. The method further includes: obtaining a first instruction, the first instruction instructing the activation of the first submode; activating the first submode in response to the first instruction; and executing a second operation corresponding to the first submode, the second operation including adjusting the vehicle's gear position to P. The first instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. In this design, a first submode for cleaning vehicle components is provided. The first submode is suitable for interior vehicle cleaning scenarios and can meet the requirements of such scenarios. Multiple flexible methods for controlling the activation of the first submode are provided, facilitating user control of the first submode and thereby effectively improving the user experience. The second operation includes adjusting the vehicle's gear position to P. It should be noted that when cleaning vehicle components, movement of the vehicle can pose a threat to the safety of car wash personnel. Therefore, in this design, in the car cleaning scenario, adjusting the vehicle's gear to P gear can effectively prevent safety hazards caused by vehicle movement in the car cleaning scenario, thereby effectively improving the safety of the car washing operation.

[0017] In one possible design, the control device needs to determine whether the vehicle meets a second condition. The second condition includes: the vehicle is in the first mode, the second sub-mode is not in the second sub-mode, and the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a second threshold. The vehicle's gear position is P or N. The second sub-mode is used to move the vehicle to the first position. In this design, the control device activates the first sub-mode when it determines that the vehicle is in the first mode, thereby preventing users from mistakenly activating the first sub-mode, thereby effectively improving the user experience. Furthermore, the control device activates the first sub-mode when it determines that the second sub-mode is not currently in the first mode, thereby preventing safety hazards caused by interruptions in the second sub-mode, thereby further improving the safety of car washing operations. The control device activates the first sub-mode when it determines that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the second threshold, ensuring that the vehicle speed meets the requirements of the car washing scenario. The control device activates the first sub-mode when it determines that the vehicle is in P or N, thereby preventing users from mistakenly activating the first sub-mode (i.e., interior cleaning mode) while the vehicle is moving (i.e., when in D gear), thereby effectively improving the user experience. In addition, after the control device determines that the vehicle has turned on the first mode and the second sub-mode is not turned on, the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the second threshold, and the gear state of the vehicle is P gear or N gear, it turns on the first sub-mode, which can not only improve the safety of the car washing operation, but also improve the user experience.

[0018] In one possible design, the control device may also receive a second instruction, which is used to instruct the first sub-mode to be turned off; and, in response to the second instruction, the first sub-mode is turned off; wherein the second instruction includes at least one of the following: a power-on signal, a vehicle lock signal, or a user instruction. The power-on signal may be a brake signal, an unlock signal, or an engine start signal, and the user instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. In this design, multiple methods for controlling the first sub-mode of the vehicle are provided, facilitating flexible user control of the first sub-mode, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0019] In one possible design, the above-mentioned first mode includes a second sub-mode, and the second sub-mode is used to move the vehicle to a first position; the control device can also obtain a third instruction, and the third instruction is used to instruct to turn on the second sub-mode; and, in response to the third instruction, the second sub-mode is turned on and a third operation corresponding to the second sub-mode is performed, and the third operation includes adjusting the gear of the vehicle to N gear. The third instruction can be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions. The "first position" can be understood as the geographical location of the car washing operation, such as a car wash. In this design, a second sub-mode for moving the vehicle to the first position is provided. The second sub-mode can be applied to a mobile car washing scenario (such as a scenario of moving the vehicle to a car wash), effectively meeting the needs of the mobile car washing scenario; and provides a variety of flexible ways to control the activation of the second sub-mode of the vehicle, which facilitates the user to control the second sub-mode, thereby effectively improving the user experience. The operation corresponding to the second sub-mode includes adjusting the gear of the vehicle to N gear. It should be noted that if the vehicle is in P gear when moving to a laundry room, the conveyor belt could damage the vehicle's electronic park brake (EPB). Therefore, in this design, when the second sub-mode is activated, the control device adjusts the vehicle's gear to N gear, preventing the vehicle's brake system from being damaged by the conveyor belt when moving the vehicle to the laundry room.

[0020] In one possible design, the control device needs to determine whether the vehicle meets a third condition; wherein the third condition includes: the vehicle has activated the first mode, the vehicle has not activated the first sub-mode, the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to a third threshold, and the vehicle's gear position is D. In this design, the control device activates the second sub-mode upon determining that the vehicle has activated the first mode, thereby preventing users from activating the second sub-mode by mistake and effectively improving the user experience. Furthermore, the control device activates the second sub-mode upon determining that the first sub-mode is not currently activated, thereby preventing safety hazards caused by interruptions in the first sub-mode and further improving the safety of the car wash operation. The control device activates the second sub-mode upon determining that the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to the third threshold, ensuring that the vehicle's speed meets the requirements of the car wash scenario. The control device activates the second sub-mode upon determining that the vehicle's gear position is D, ensuring that the vehicle's gear position meets the requirements of the mobile car wash scenario. In addition, the control device activates the second sub-mode only after determining that the vehicle has activated the first mode and the second sub-mode is not currently activated, and that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the third threshold value and the vehicle gear state is D gear. This can not only improve the safety of the car washing operation, but also improve the user experience.

[0021] In one possible design, the control device may also receive a fourth instruction, which instructs the user to disable the second sub-mode. In response to the fourth instruction, the second sub-mode is disabled. Alternatively, the second sub-mode is disabled upon detecting that the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold and / or the vehicle's gear position is not N. The fourth instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. This design provides multiple ways to disable the vehicle's second sub-mode, facilitating user control of the second sub-mode and effectively improving the user experience.

[0022] In one possible design, the control device can also control the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror or exterior mirror to maintain a first state. The "first state" can be understood as a folded state. Therefore, in this design, regardless of whether the vehicle is powered on or off, the rearview mirror remains in the folded state, ensuring that the state of the rearview mirror meets the requirements of car wash scenarios.

[0023] In one possible design, the control device can also obtain a fifth instruction, which is used to indicate a fourth operation, which is the opposite operation of the first operation; and control the prompt device to output a first prompt message, which is used to prompt the risk information corresponding to the fourth operation. The fifth instruction can be a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction. In this design, if the control device performs a first operation (for example, turning off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle) and detects that the user wants to perform a fourth operation opposite to the first operation, the prompt device can be controlled to output the corresponding risk prompt information, so that the user can perceive the necessity of performing the first operation, and further enable the car washing process to proceed smoothly.

[0024] In one possible design, the control device can also control the prompt device to output a second prompt message, the second prompt message is used to indicate that the fifth operation in the first operation has failed to execute; obtain a sixth instruction, the sixth instruction is used to instruct to execute the fifth operation again. The sixth instruction includes a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction. In this design, if it is found that some operations in the first operation (i.e., the fifth operation) have failed to execute during the execution of the first operation, the prompt device is controlled to output a corresponding prompt message, and then the user can enter the sixth instruction, and then can respond to the sixth instruction and execute the fifth operation again, so that the status of the vehicle components is more in line with the needs of the car wash scene. The sixth instruction can be, for example, a click operation on a physical button.

[0025] In one possible design, the control device may also obtain a seventh instruction, which is used to instruct the first mode to be turned off; in response to the seventh instruction, the first mode is turned off; or the control device may further detect that the vehicle's speed is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold and turn off the first mode; wherein the seventh instruction includes a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction. In this design, the vehicle can be controlled to turn off the first mode based on the detected remote control instruction or human-computer interaction instruction, allowing the user to flexibly control the turning off of the first mode, effectively improving the user experience; or, the first mode can be turned off when the vehicle's speed is detected to be greater than or equal to the fifth threshold. In this way, the first mode can be automatically turned off without user operation, further improving the user's car washing experience.

[0026] In one possible design, the control device may further: save the vehicle's status information before the vehicle is powered off; and obtain the vehicle's status information after the vehicle is powered on. "Vehicle status information" may be understood as the status settings made by the user on the vehicle's components in the first mode, such as disabling at least one of the automatic power-on function, the automatic vehicle lock function, the remote control function, and the automatic gear shift function. In this design, the vehicle's status information set by the user before the vehicle is powered off can be saved when the first mode is enabled. After the vehicle is powered on again, the vehicle's status information can be automatically obtained, and the first mode can be entered based on this status information without the user having to reset it.

[0027] In one possible design, the control device can also log out of the car owner's account and enter guest mode. In this design, a guest mode is provided, and then after the car owner's account is logged out, the guest mode is activated, allowing the car washer to have the authority to operate in the first mode during the car wash process, which helps the car wash operation go smoothly.

[0028] In one possible design, the control device may further receive a power-on signal and, based on the power-on signal, control the vehicle to power on and re-enter the first mode. Alternatively, the control device may further control the prompt device to output a third prompt message, the third prompt message being used to instruct the user whether to re-enter the first mode. In this design, upon receiving the power-on signal, the vehicle may be controlled to power on and automatically enter the first mode after powering on. Alternatively, after the vehicle is powered on, the prompt device may be controlled to output a third prompt message to guide the user to perform a corresponding operation to cause the vehicle to enter the first mode.

[0029] It should be noted that the "user" here can be a car owner or a car washer, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any specific restrictions. This design is particularly suitable for scenarios where the car owner logs out of the account and the car washer controls the vehicle to power on. In this scenario, the vehicle automatically enters the first mode after powering on, or the car washer guides the car washer to control the vehicle to enter the first mode, helping the car washer to perform car washing operations efficiently and conveniently.

[0030] In one possible design, the control device may further: obtain an eighth instruction, which is used to instruct the activation of the first mode. The eighth instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. The human-computer interaction instruction may be any of a voice instruction, a gesture instruction, or a text instruction. The remote control instruction is a command sent by a user terminal to the control device. This design provides multiple flexible ways to control the activation of the vehicle's first mode, facilitating user control of the first mode and effectively improving the user experience.

[0031] In one possible design, after the vehicle's first mode is activated, the method further includes: obtaining a power-off signal and controlling the vehicle's power-off. The power-off signal can be, for example, a door closing signal, a vehicle lock signal, or a remote control command. In this design, multiple flexible methods for controlling vehicle power-off are provided in the first mode, allowing vehicle washing operations to proceed while the vehicle is powered off, thereby effectively improving the safety of vehicle washing operations.

[0032] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a control device, comprising: a controller and a memory; the memory is used to store programs; the controller is used to execute the programs stored in the memory, so that the device implements the method as described in the first aspect and any one of the first aspects.

[0052] In one possible design, the acquisition module is also used to obtain a power-on signal and control the vehicle to power on according to the power-on signal; the control module is also used to re-enter the first mode; or, the control module is also used to control the prompt device to output a third prompt information, and the third prompt information is used to instruct the user to choose whether to re-enter the first mode.

[0053] In a possible design, after the first mode of the vehicle is turned on: the acquisition module is further used to obtain a power-off signal; the control module is further used to control the vehicle to power off according to the power-off signal.

[0054] Fourthly, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle control method, including: generating a prompt message when a preset condition is met, the prompt message being used to remind the user to turn on the car wash mode, the preset condition including that the vehicle is located in a car wash shop and is in a parked state; receiving a user instruction, the user instruction being used to instruct to turn on the car wash mode; and turning on the car wash mode according to the user instruction.

[0055] Specifically, when a preset condition is met, a prompt message can be generated first, and then output to the user via a prompt device (correspondingly, the user can obtain the prompt message via the prompt device). The prompt device can be, for example, a vehicle-mounted display screen, for example, displaying the prompt message to the user via the vehicle-mounted display screen; the prompt device can also be a vehicle-mounted speaker, for example, playing the prompt message to the user via the speaker; the prompt device can also be other terminal devices carried by the user or mounted on the vehicle, for example, displaying or playing the prompt message to the user via the terminal device.

However, in practice, users may forget to enable the car wash mode before washing, resulting in damage to the vehicle during the wash.

[0057] Based on the embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is located at a car wash and is parked, the user can be reminded to turn on the car wash mode in time, avoiding the situation where the user forgets to turn on the car wash mode before washing the car and causes damage to the vehicle, thereby effectively improving the user experience; in addition, reminding the user to turn on the car wash mode when the vehicle is located at a car wash and is parked can avoid the user turning on the car wash mode while the vehicle is driving and affecting the normal driving of the vehicle.

[0058] In one possible design, when the preset conditions are met, the user may not be reminded to turn on the car wash mode, but the vehicle may be directly controlled to intelligently turn on the car wash mode to improve the user experience.

[0059] In one possible design, the vehicle is located at a car wash and is parked, including at least one of the following: the vehicle's navigation destination is a car wash, the vehicle arrives at the destination and parks; the vehicle drives to a location where the user previously turned on the car wash mode and parks; and the vehicle senses that the vehicle's current parked location is a car wash.

[0060] The navigation destination of the car wash shop may be a car wash shop input by the user during route navigation, or a car wash shop selected by the user through a surrounding search, without limitation.

[0061] When the vehicle is at a car wash shop and is in a parked state, including when the vehicle drives to a location where the user previously turned on the car wash mode and parks, the location can be recorded each time the car wash mode is turned on.

[0062] Furthermore, compared to using navigation and positioning to determine whether a vehicle has arrived at a car wash, perception can ensure the accuracy of the parking location. For example, if a car wash is located in a non-ground environment (such as an underground environment or a high-rise building) or in a complex road environment (such as an alley with complex road planning), navigation or positioning may not be able to accurately determine whether the vehicle is at the car wash, but perception can accurately determine it.

[0063] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling to disconnect and prohibiting the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the terminal device carried by the user.

[0064] Specifically, after the car wash mode is turned on according to the user's instruction, the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the terminal device carried by the user can be disconnected and prohibited.

[0065] In this application, a control operation can be understood as generating and sending a control instruction to an execution device, which then executes the control instruction. For example, a control instruction is first generated to instruct the vehicle to disconnect and disable the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device, and then the control instruction is sent to the execution device. The execution device then executes the operation of disconnecting and disabling the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device. It should be understood that the control operations involved in this application can be found in this description and will not be repeated below.

[0066] The terminal devices carried by users can include mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, and other electronic devices. For example, after a mobile phone establishes a Bluetooth connection with a vehicle, the incoming call notification tone on the phone plays in the vehicle. However, during a car wash, the user may not be in the vehicle. If the Bluetooth connection is still active, the user will not be able to receive incoming calls, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, after the car wash mode is turned on according to the user's instructions, the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device can be disconnected and prohibited, so that after entering the car wash mode and during the car wash process, the prompt sound on the user's terminal device will not automatically switch to the vehicle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling disconnection and prohibiting remote control of the vehicle.

[0069] Specifically, after the car wash mode is turned on according to the user's instruction, the user can be controlled to disconnect and be prohibited from remotely controlling the vehicle by carrying a terminal device or website.

[0070] Traditional solutions allow users to remotely control their vehicles after leaving the vehicle. However, remotely controlling the vehicle during a car wash could cause water to enter the vehicle or disrupt the normal wash process. For example, if a user remotely opens a window after leaving the vehicle, water could enter the vehicle. Alternatively, if a user remotely turns on the air conditioner after leaving the vehicle, the noise could startle the car washer.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, after the car wash mode is turned on according to user instructions, remote control of the vehicle can be disconnected and prohibited to prevent the remote control operation from affecting the car wash process or causing water to enter the vehicle.

[0072] In one possible design, after the car wash mode is turned on according to the user's instruction, the method further includes: controlling the display of the adjustment status of the vehicle parts, wherein the parts in the adjusted state display a first mark, the parts in the to-be-adjusted state display a second mark, and the parts in the failed adjustment state display a third mark.

[0073] Specifically, a control instruction can be generated and sent to a display device, which then displays the adjustment status of each component to the user. The display device can be an in-vehicle display screen or other terminal device carried by the user or installed in the vehicle, without limitation.

[0074] For example, the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier can be different identification symbols. For example, the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier can be "√," "○ (dynamic circle)," and "×," respectively, where the dynamic circle represents a state to be adjusted or in the process of adjustment. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific presentation forms of the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier. Any form that can be used to distinguish different adjustment states can be understood as a different identifier.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, after the car wash mode is turned on according to user instructions, the adjustment status of each component can be displayed to the user, and different adjustment statuses can display different symbols, so that the user can intuitively understand the adjustment status of each component, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0076] In one possible design, the user may be prompted with the adjustment status of each component through other interactive methods, such as through voice broadcast, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0077] In a possible design, the control to display the adjustment status of the vehicle component includes: for the component that will automatically restore the status after exiting the car wash mode, controlling to display a fourth identifier.

[0078] For example, the fourth identifier can be a specific identification symbol, for example, marking a component that automatically restores its state after exiting the car wash mode with "☆"; the fourth identifier can also be specific text, for example, marking a component that automatically restores its state after exiting the car wash mode as "temporarily closed", etc., without limitation.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, after the car wash mode is turned on according to user instructions, for components that automatically restore their status after exiting the car wash mode, a fourth indicator can be controlled to display so that the user can intuitively understand the status of each component after exiting the car wash mode.

[0080] In a possible design, other interactive methods can be used to prompt the user that the components will automatically restore to their original state after exiting the car wash mode, such as through voice announcements, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0081] In one possible design, after the car wash mode is turned on according to the user instruction, the method further includes: controlling the display of exit condition information of the car wash mode, where the exit condition information is used to indicate exiting the car wash mode when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset value.

[0082] Conventional solutions typically don't clearly indicate the exit speed after entering car wash mode, resulting in a poor user experience. However, in the present embodiment, after the car wash mode is activated according to a user instruction, the display can be controlled to indicate when the car wash mode is exited when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset value. This allows users to more intuitively understand the exit conditions for car wash mode, thereby improving the user experience.

[0083] In one possible design, the car wash mode includes a first sub-car wash mode and a second sub-car wash mode, the first sub-car wash mode is used for a first car wash scene, and the second sub-car wash mode is used for a second car wash scene; receiving a user instruction includes: receiving a first instruction from the user; in response to the first instruction from the user, controlling the display of the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode; receiving a second instruction from the user; in response to the second instruction from the user, controlling the selection of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode; receiving a third instruction from the user; and starting the car wash mode according to the user instruction includes: in response to the third instruction from the user, controlling the starting of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode.

[0084] For example, the first car wash scene can be a manual car wash scene or other non-conveyor car wash scene, and the second car wash scene can be a conveyor car wash scene. Based on this example, when the user needs to perform a conveyor car wash, they can select the second sub-car wash mode; when the user needs to perform a manual car wash or other non-conveyor car wash, they can select the first sub-car wash mode.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the car wash mode can be further divided into a first sub-car wash mode and a second sub-car wash mode, so that the user can select different car wash modes based on the actual car wash scene, thereby improving the user experience.

[0086] It should be understood that in actual operation, the car wash mode can be divided into more sub-car wash modes, and different sub-car wash modes can be applicable to different car wash scenarios without limitation.

[0087] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling and displaying a car moving button, which is used to obtain a car moving authorization for a preset number of times (for example, once, twice, etc.) or a first preset time (for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.).

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, a move car button can be controlled to be displayed after the car wash mode is turned on, so that after the user leaves the vehicle, the car washer can drive the vehicle from the parking space to the car wash space for washing based on the move car button, and then drive it back to the parking space after washing.

[0089] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling and limiting the driving speed of the vehicle.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle's speed can be controlled and limited after the car wash mode is activated. This can prevent the car wash mode from automatically exiting when the speed is too high, and can also make it easier to track the vehicle if the user leaves the vehicle and it is stolen.

[0091] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling the display and locking the interface of the car wash mode.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the display of the car wash mode interface can be controlled and locked after the car wash mode is turned on to prevent the car wash staff from switching the car wash mode interface to other interfaces for operations (such as viewing or modifying vehicle configuration, etc.) after the user leaves the vehicle, thereby preventing the user's privacy from being leaked.

[0093] Optionally, after the car wash mode interface is locked, you can exit the locked state by entering a password.

[0094] Optionally, the locked car wash mode interface can be displayed in a screen-dominating state.

[0095] Optionally, when the car wash mode includes a sub-car wash mode, the interface of the sub-car wash mode finally selected by the user may be controlled and locked.

[0096] In a possible design, the method further includes: controlling the glove box to be locked and unable to be opened mechanically.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, in a car wash scenario where the user leaves the vehicle (for example, a manual car wash scenario), the glove box can be locked after the car wash mode is turned on to prevent the car wash staff from checking valuable or private items in the glove box.

[0098] In a possible design, when the car wash scene is a conveyor belt car wash, the method further includes: controlling to turn off an automatic vehicle hold (AVH) function of the vehicle.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, when the car wash scene is a conveyor belt car wash, the AVH function of the vehicle can be controlled to be turned off to avoid the AVH hydraulic locking of the vehicle.

[0100] In one implementation, when the car wash scene is a conveyor belt car wash, after the car wash mode is turned on, the AVH function can be controlled to be automatically turned off.

[0101] In another implementation, when the car wash scene is a conveyor belt car wash, before turning on the car wash mode, the user can be reminded to switch to P gear first (it should be understood that after the vehicle switches to P gear, the AVH function will be triggered to shut down); after turning on the car wash mode, the control is switched to N gear.

[0102] In one possible design, the method also includes: when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset value, controlling the vehicle lights to turn on; when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a second preset value and the maintenance time is greater than or equal to the second preset time, controlling the vehicle lights to turn off.

[0103] Among them, the first preset value and the second preset value can be the same, for example, the first preset value and the second preset value can be 3km / h or 4km / h, etc.; the first preset value and the second preset value can also be different, for example, the first preset value is 4km / h, and the second preset value is 3km / h; the second preset time length can be, for example, 10s, 15s, etc.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, after entering the car wash mode, the headlights can be controlled to turn on or off according to actual conditions. For example, when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset value, it indicates that the vehicle may be moving, so the headlights can be controlled to turn on to meet the needs of moving the vehicle in the car wash shop; for another example, when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a second preset value and is maintained for a period of time, it indicates that the vehicle may be in a car wash state, so the headlights can be controlled to turn off to avoid affecting the car washing process.

[0105] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling to turn off the vehicle air conditioner when the battery power of the vehicle is less than or equal to a third preset value, wherein the third preset value may be, for example, 5%, 8%, 10%, etc.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, when the battery power of the vehicle is less than or equal to the third preset value, the vehicle air conditioner can be controlled to be turned off to avoid battery depletion. In addition, after the vehicle air conditioner is turned off, it can also be manually turned on by the user, without limitation.

[0107] It should also be noted that after leaving the vehicle, users may remotely activate the car wash mode using a portable device. To facilitate cleaning of the vehicle interior, the vehicle will automatically unlock when the car wash mode is remotely activated. This situation can easily lead to the loss of items in the vehicle or the leakage of vehicle information.

[0108] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application also proposes: when the user remotely turns on the car wash mode, the user is prompted that the vehicle will automatically unlock after turning it on, allowing the user to reconfirm whether to turn it on based on the safety level of the vehicle's environment to avoid the loss of items in the car or the leakage of vehicle information.

[0109] In the fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a control device, comprising: a controller and a memory; the memory is used to store programs; the controller is used to execute the programs stored in the memory, so that the device implements the method as described in the fourth aspect and any one of the fourth aspects.

[0110] In the sixth aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle control device, including a control module and a transceiver module. When a preset condition is met, the control module is used to control the generation of a prompt message, which is used to remind the user to turn on the car wash mode. The preset condition includes that the vehicle is located in a car wash shop and is in a parked state; the transceiver module is used to control the reception of user instructions, which is used to instruct the activation of the car wash mode; the control module is also used to control the activation of the car wash mode according to the user instruction.

[0111] In one possible design, the vehicle is located at a car wash and is parked, including at least one of the following: the vehicle's navigation destination is a car wash, the vehicle arrives at the destination and parks; the vehicle drives to a location where the user previously turned on the car wash mode and parks; and the vehicle senses that the vehicle's current parked location is a car wash.

[0154] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle control method, device, and vehicle, which relate to the field of intelligent control technology, and are used to flexibly control vehicle components in a car wash scenario so that the status of the vehicle components meets the requirements of the car wash scenario, thereby allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving user experience and safety. The method includes: when the car wash mode of the vehicle is turned on, obtaining a first parameter of the vehicle, the first parameter includes the vehicle speed and / or gear; and when the first parameter meets the first condition, executing a first operation corresponding to the car wash mode, the first operation includes turning off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the automatic power-on function refers to controlling the vehicle to power on when it detects that the door is open or the vehicle is unlocked. Therefore, turning off the automatic power-on function can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to the frequent opening and closing of the door in the car wash scenario, so that the car wash operation can proceed normally, thereby effectively improving user experience.

[0155] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a control device. The control device can be abstracted as a computer system. The control device can be a whole machine, or it can be a part of the whole machine, such as a system chip or a processing chip. Specifically, the control device can be a terminal device or vehicle-mounted equipment such as an on-board computing platform, an on-board controller, a vehicle computer, etc. in a vehicle, or it can be a system chip, a decision processing chip, or other types of chips in a computer system that can be set in a vehicle or on-board equipment. It can be understood that the method and the device are based on the same technical concept. Since the principles of solving the problem by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0156] First, some of the terms used in the embodiments of the present application are explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0157] 1) The in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system is an integrated in-vehicle information processing system based on the vehicle body bus system and Internet services. The IVI system can implement one or more of the following applications: information display (for example, navigation information, real-time road conditions, vehicle status, etc.), human-computer interaction, assisted driving, fault detection, body control, wireless communication, or online entertainment functions to enhance the vehicle's electronic, networked, and intelligent level. In the embodiment of the present application, the IVI system can provide an operating interface corresponding to the car wash mode, allowing the user to control and set the car wash mode accordingly.

[0158] 2) Automatic power-on function is a power-on mechanism for the vehicle, that is, the control device controls the vehicle to power on when it detects that the door is opened or the vehicle is unlocked.

[0159] 3) Automatic locking function is a locking mechanism of the vehicle, that is, the control device controls the vehicle to lock when it detects that the user leaves the vehicle or the door is closed.

[0160] 4) The early warning function, also known as "sentry mode" in one possible implementation, is a vehicle safety monitoring mechanism. When the control device detects an emergency, it controls the prompt device to output a corresponding early warning message. For example, if the control device detects a stranger touching the vehicle, it can control the prompt device to output a corresponding warning tone.

[0161] 5) Remote control function is a controlled mode of the vehicle. In this controlled mode, the user terminal can remotely control the status of the vehicle components.

[0162] 6) Parking (P): When the vehicle is in P, the vehicle's speed is zero, allowing the vehicle to stop and prevent movement. In this embodiment of the present application, when performing a car wash operation within a vehicle, the vehicle's gear must be adjusted to P to prevent movement, thereby improving the safety of the car wash operation.

[0163] 7) Neutral (N): When the vehicle is in N, the power is not interrupted, the speed is not zero, and the vehicle can travel slowly. In the embodiment of the present application, when moving the vehicle to a car wash, the vehicle's gear needs to be adjusted to N to prevent the electric park brake (EPB) from being damaged by the conveyor belt.

[0164] 8) Drive (D) gear, also known as forward gear. When the vehicle is in D gear, the vehicle is in driving state.

[0165] 9) When the vehicle is powered off, it can be understood that all circuits in the vehicle are completely shut down, that is, the vehicle's power supply equipment stops providing power to the vehicle. When the vehicle is powered off, all vehicle components are not powered.

[0166] 10) In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "at least two" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, and c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, words such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor are they a limitation on the order.

[0167] The following describes the system architecture applicable to the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0168] Please refer to Figure 1A, which exemplarily shows an architectural diagram of a possible system applicable to an embodiment of the present application, wherein the system includes a vehicle 100, a server 200, and a user terminal 300.

[0169] The vehicle 100 may include: an IVI system, on-board sensors, a user input device, on-board components, a human-computer interaction input and output device, etc. The following describes each component of the vehicle 100 .

[0170] An IVI system may include a controller and a human-computer interaction module. The controller, serving as the vehicle's control center, can connect to other components using various interfaces and circuits. It performs the various functions of the IVI system by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in internal memory and accessing data stored in the memory. The human-computer interaction module is connected to the vehicle's human-computer interaction input / output device and is used to communicate and interact with the human-computer interaction input / output device. Specifically, the human-computer interaction module receives instructions input from the human-computer interaction input / output device and feeds back the corresponding operation of the instruction to the controller. The human-computer interaction module also receives interaction commands output by the controller and sends the interaction commands to the human-computer interaction input / output device, which is displayed or prompted to the user via a display screen, audio circuit, etc. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the controller can send instructions to the human-computer interaction module, which can forward the instructions to the human-computer interaction input / output device, causing the human-computer interaction input / output device to display an operating interface for a first mode, allowing the user to configure the first mode accordingly. The first mode may be a car wash mode, which may be a first sub-car wash mode or a second sub-car wash mode. In some possible embodiments, the IVI system further includes an on-board control unit, which can receive control instructions from the controller and adjust the status of on-board components accordingly based on the control instructions.

[0171] On-board sensors are used to collect various parameters of the vehicle 100 in real time. As shown in Figure 1A, the on-board sensors can be, for example, at least one of a vehicle speed sensor, an axle speed sensor, a wheel speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, or a roll angle sensor. The vehicle speed sensor can measure the speed of the vehicle 100 in a set direction; the axle speed sensor can measure the rotational speed of the motor shaft; the wheel speed sensor can measure the rotational speed of the wheels of the vehicle 100; the acceleration sensor can measure the acceleration of the vehicle 100 in a set direction; and the roll angle sensor can measure the roll angle of the vehicle 100. In this embodiment of the present application, the vehicle speed sensor can measure the speed of the vehicle 100 and report it to the controller in the IVI system.

[0172] The user input device is operated by the user when the vehicle 100 is in the first mode, and specifically may include at least one of a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, a manual gear rocker, or an automatic gear controller. In some embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in the first mode, the user can generate a power-off signal for controlling the vehicle to power off by turning the steering wheel. In some embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in the first mode, the user can generate a power-on signal for controlling the vehicle to power on by operating the brake pedal. And, in some embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in the first mode, the user can generate a gear switching signal for the vehicle by operating the manual gear rocker or the automatic gear controller.

[0173] The human-computer interaction input and output device, which may also be referred to as a prompt device, is used to achieve communication and exchange between the user and the vehicle that can be understood and recognized by each other, thereby realizing human-computer interaction. As shown in FIG1A , the human-computer interaction input and output device may include but is not limited to: a display screen, physical buttons, an audio circuit, etc. Among them, the display screen may be a touch screen screen, which can not only present content such as a user interface or a playback interface of multimedia files, but also collect the user's touch operations on or near it, generate corresponding touch information and send it to the human-computer interaction module in the IVI system, so that the controller in the IVI system executes the instructions corresponding to the touch information. For example, when the vehicle is in a car wash scene, the human-computer interaction module in the IVI system can control the display screen to display menu information corresponding to the first mode, so that the user can make corresponding settings for the first mode.

[0174] Physical buttons can collect user keystrokes, generate keystroke information, and send it to the controller in the IVI system, so that the controller in the IVI system executes the command corresponding to the keystroke information. For example, when the vehicle is in the first mode, if the controller in the IVI system receives a user click on the power button, it can generate a vehicle power-on signal and control the vehicle to power on based on the power-on signal.

[0175] The audio circuit connects the speaker and microphone. The audio circuit converts audio data received from the vehicle's onboard equipment into electrical signals and transmits them to the speaker, which then converts the electrical signals into audio signals (i.e., sound waves) for output. The microphone, on the other hand, converts the collected audio signals into electrical signals, which are then received by the audio circuit and converted into audio data for further processing, such as transmission, analysis, or storage.

[0176] Among them, the speaker, also known as a "horn" or "speaker", is used to convert the electrical signal carrying audio data into an audio signal and output it. For example, the controller in the IVI system can control the speaker to play music, broadcasts, and various voice prompts and other voice information. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle exits the first mode, the controller in the IVI system can control the speaker to output corresponding prompt information to guide the user to choose whether to re-enter the first mode. For another example, in an embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is at a car wash and is parked, the controller in the IVI system can control the speaker to output a corresponding prompt message to guide the user to turn on the car wash mode.

[0177] A microphone, also known as a "microphone" or "microphone," is used to collect audio signals from the vehicle's surroundings (e.g., sounds emitted by a user) and convert them into electrical signals that carry the audio signals. For example, in the embodiments of the present application, the microphone can collect audio signals related to operations such as turning on and off the first mode.

[0178] Vehicle components include body parts and onboard devices. Body parts include, but are not limited to, doors, windows, sunroofs, charging ports, fuel filler caps, wipers, or rearview mirrors; onboard devices include, but are not limited to, air conditioners, speakers, or seats.

[0179] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a telematics box (T-BOX), allowing the vehicle 100 to communicate with the server 200 via the T-BOX. The user terminal 300 can receive user commands, generate remote control commands based on the user's actions, and send the remote control commands to the server 200. The server 200 then sends the commands to the T-BOX, enabling remote control of components in the vehicle.

[0180] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the vehicle structure shown in FIG1A does not limit the vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application may include more or fewer modules than shown, or may combine certain modules or have different component arrangements. For example, the vehicle 100 may also include a wireless communication module, a communication interface, and the like.

[0181] Optionally, the above-mentioned IVI system may further include an on-board control unit. After the controller generates a control instruction for the on-board components, the control instruction may be sent to the on-board control unit so that the on-board control unit adjusts the status of the on-board components based on the control instruction. As shown in Figure 1B, in some possible embodiments, the above-mentioned controller may include a system on a chip (SoC) and a micro control unit (MCU). The SoC can run a vehicle control application (APP). If the user enters a corresponding user instruction through the vehicle control APP, the SoC can respond to the user instruction, start the first mode, and run the corresponding service of the vehicle control service layer (for example, body control service, chassis control service, turning off the automatic locking function, turning off the sentry mode, setting the air conditioner to external circulation, remote control service, etc.), and generate corresponding control instructions; the MCU can then encapsulate the control instruction to form a corresponding controller area network (CAN) signal or Ethernet (ETH) signal, and send the CAN signal or ETH signal to the corresponding on-board control unit so that the on-board control unit adjusts the status of the on-board components. For example, the on-board control unit is the body control module (BCM). The SOC can send body control instructions to the MCU. The MCU encapsulates the body control instructions into CAN signals and sends the CAN signals to the BCM. The BCM can then adjust the status of on-board components. For example, the BCM can close the charging port cover, fuel filler cap, doors, windows, wipers, and sunroof. For another example, the BCM can control the vehicle's power on or off, control the vehicle's unlocking or locking, etc.

[0182] In other possible embodiments, the server 200 takes the car cloud as an example, and the user terminal 300 runs the car control APP. If the user inputs the corresponding user instruction through the car control APP, the user terminal 300 responds to the user instruction, generates the corresponding remote control instruction, and uploads the remote control instruction to the car cloud. The car cloud sends the remote control instruction to the SOC through T-BOX, so that the SOC runs the remote control service corresponding to the remote control instruction.

[0183] It should be noted that the vehicle control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is mainly used in car wash scenarios. The car wash scenarios in the embodiments of the present application include interior car cleaning scenarios, exterior car cleaning scenarios, and conveyor car washing scenarios. In the interior car cleaning scenario, it is necessary to clean the vehicle components inside the vehicle (for example, the inside of the door, the inside of the window, the seat, the display screen, etc.); in the exterior car cleaning scenario, it is necessary to clean the vehicle components outside the vehicle (for example, the outside of the door, the outside of the window, the body, etc.); in the conveyor car washing scenario, it is necessary to move the vehicle to a designated location (for example, the car wash location) via a conveyor belt.

[0184] The vehicle control method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0185] Example 1

[0186] FIG2 exemplarily shows a flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to a control device (e.g., the controller in the IVI system described above). The method includes:

[0187] S201. When the first mode of the vehicle is activated, the control device obtains a first parameter of the vehicle.

[0188] In the embodiment of the present application, the first parameter may include vehicle speed and / or gear position. For example, the control device may obtain the vehicle speed through the vehicle speed sensor described above, and the control device may detect the vehicle gear position through the automatic gear controller.

[0189] In an embodiment of the present application, in one possible implementation, the first mode may be a car wash mode. In this way, when the car wash mode of the vehicle is turned on, if the vehicle speed and / or gear position meets the first condition, the automatic power-on function of the vehicle can be turned off. The automatic power-on function is a power-on mechanism of the vehicle, that is, when the control device detects that the door is open or the vehicle is unlocked, it controls the vehicle to power on. Therefore, the control device turns off the automatic power-on function of the vehicle, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening of the door in the car wash scene, so that the car wash operation can proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user's car wash experience. In another possible implementation, the first mode can also be other modes that need to avoid problems similar to the car wash scene, such as camping mode, or other custom modes.

[0190] In one possible implementation, the control device may obtain instruction 1, which is used to instruct the activation of the first mode. The control device may then activate the first mode of the vehicle in response to instruction 1. Instruction 1 may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. The human-computer interaction instruction may be any of a voice instruction, a gesture instruction, or a text instruction, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. In this way, the control device provides multiple flexible ways to control the activation of the first mode of the vehicle, facilitating user control of the first mode and thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0191] Example 1: The first mode uses the car wash mode as an example. Please refer to Figure 3A. Figure 3A exemplifies one of the user operation interface diagrams provided in an embodiment of the present application. The operation interface displays the menu button of the vehicle control app. If the user clicks the "Settings -> Vehicle Control -> Scenario Mode" menu in the vehicle control app, the operation interface displays the operation buttons corresponding to Mode A, Mode B, and Car Wash Mode. If the control device detects that the user clicks the "Car Wash Mode Operation Button" in the operation interface, it converts the click operation into Instruction 1 and, in response to Instruction 1, activates the vehicle's Car Wash Mode.

[0192] Example 2: The first mode uses the car wash mode as an example. See FIG3B , which illustrates a second schematic diagram of a user operation interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. This operation interface displays the menu button of the vehicle's control center, and displays the operation buttons corresponding to Function A, Function B, Function C, Function D, Function E, and the car wash mode. If the control device detects a user clicking the "car wash mode operation button" in this operation interface, it converts the click into Command 1 and, in response to Command 1, activates the vehicle's car wash mode.

[0193] It can be understood that the user operation interface in Example 1 and Example 2 can be displayed on the vehicle display screen or on the display screen of the user terminal, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose specific limitations.

[0194] Example 3, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, and instruction 1 takes the voice instruction as an example. The voice instruction detected by the microphone in the vehicle is "turn on the car wash mode", and the control device responds to the voice instruction to turn on the car wash mode of the vehicle.

[0195] Example 4, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, and instruction 1 takes the remote control instruction as an example. The control device receives a remote control instruction from the user terminal, and the remote control instruction is used to instruct to turn on the vehicle's car wash mode. The control device responds to the voice instruction and turns on the vehicle's car wash mode.

[0196] S202: When the first parameter satisfies a first condition, the control device executes a first operation corresponding to the first mode, where the first operation includes turning off an automatic power-on function of the vehicle.

[0197] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic power-on function is a power-on mechanism for the vehicle, that is, when the control device detects that the door is opened or the vehicle is unlocked, it controls the vehicle to power on.

[0198] In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, when the first mode of the vehicle is turned on, the control device can obtain the vehicle speed and / or gear position, and when the vehicle speed and / or gear position meets the first condition, turn off the vehicle's automatic power-on function. This can prevent the vehicle from being frequently powered on due to frequent opening and closing of the doors in a car wash scenario, allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0199] In this embodiment of the present application, the first parameter includes vehicle speed and / or gear position. When the first parameter satisfies a first condition, the first operation corresponding to the first mode is executed. That is, in this embodiment of the present application, the vehicle is allowed to enter the first mode only when the first parameter satisfies the first condition. For example, the vehicle is allowed to enter the first mode when the vehicle speed is very low but not zero; alternatively, the vehicle may be allowed to enter the first mode in multiple gear positions.

[0200] In this embodiment of the present application, the first condition may include the vehicle speed being less than or equal to a first threshold, and / or the vehicle being in first gear. The first threshold may be, for example, 0 km / h, 2 km / h, or 3 km / h, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. The first gear may be P or N.

[0201] The car wash scenarios in the embodiments of this application include stationary car wash scenarios and mobile car wash scenarios. In a stationary car wash scenario, the vehicle's speed is 0, meaning the vehicle is stationary; in a mobile car wash scenario, the vehicle's speed is not 0, meaning the vehicle is moving. Furthermore, stationary car wash scenarios include interior car wash scenarios and exterior car wash scenarios. The interior car wash scenario involves cleaning the vehicle's internal components, while the exterior car wash scenario involves cleaning the vehicle's external components.

[0202] Example 1, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, the first condition may be that the vehicle speed is 0 and the vehicle gear is P gear; accordingly, when the vehicle is in P gear and the speed is 0, the control device turns off the vehicle's automatic power-on function, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening and closing of the door in a stationary car wash scene, thereby allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0203] Example 2, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, the first condition may be that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to 3km / h, and the vehicle gear is N gear; accordingly, when the vehicle is in N gear and the speed is less than 3km / h, the control device turns off the vehicle's automatic power-on function, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening of the door in the mobile car wash scene, thereby allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0204] Example 3, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, the first condition may be that the vehicle speed is equal to 0 km / h; accordingly, when the vehicle speed is 0, the control device turns off the vehicle's automatic power-on function, which can prevent the vehicle from frequently powering on due to frequent opening and closing of the door in a stationary car wash scene, thereby allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0205] Furthermore, in order to make the status of vehicle components meet the requirements of different car washing scenarios, the above-mentioned first operation may also include but is not limited to the following implementation methods:

[0206] In embodiment 1, the control device controls the vehicle to be powered off. In the embodiment of the present application, "powering off the vehicle" can be understood as all circuits in the vehicle being turned off, that is, the vehicle's power supply equipment stops providing electrical energy to the vehicle. When the vehicle is powered off, all parts of the vehicle are not powered. The first mode takes the car wash mode as an example. Therefore, when the car wash mode is turned on and the first parameter of the vehicle meets the first condition, the control device controls the vehicle to be powered off. This can prevent the user from causing the vehicle to move or insulation failure due to misoperation in the car wash scene, thereby effectively improving the safety of the user's car wash, and at the same time making it easier for the user to clean the vehicle's onboard parts (such as the onboard display screen), thereby effectively improving the convenience of the car wash operation.

[0207] In one possible implementation, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example. After the first mode of the vehicle is activated, the control device can also obtain a power-off signal to control the vehicle to be powered off. The power-off signal can be, for example, a door closing signal, a vehicle locking signal, or a remote control command. In this way, when the vehicle is activated in the car wash mode, a variety of flexible methods for controlling the vehicle to be powered off are provided, so that the vehicle washing operation can be carried out in the state where the vehicle is powered off, thereby effectively improving the safety of the vehicle washing operation. For example, closing the door, locking the vehicle, or remote control, etc., can support the scenario where the car owner goes shopping in the mall and the car washer waits in line for the car to be washed.

[0208] In embodiment 2, the control device turns off a first function of the vehicle, where the first function includes at least one of an automatic vehicle locking function, a warning function, a remote monitoring function, or a remote control function.

[0209] As described above, the automatic locking function is a locking mechanism that locks the vehicle when the control device detects that the user has left the vehicle or the door is closed. Thus, when the first mode is enabled, the control device disables the automatic locking function, preventing the user from frequently entering and exiting the vehicle or frequently opening and closing the door during a car wash, which could cause the vehicle to lock frequently. This allows the car wash to proceed normally, further improving the user's car wash experience.

[0210] In one possible implementation, the early warning function, also known as "Sentry Mode," serves as a vehicle safety monitoring mechanism. Specifically, if the control device detects an emergency, it controls the prompt device to output a corresponding early warning message. For example, if the control device detects a stranger touching the vehicle, it can control the prompt device to output a corresponding warning tone. Thus, when the first mode is activated, the control device disables the early warning function, preventing users from touching the vehicle during a car wash and triggering an alarm message. This effectively reduces the risk of the alarm message disrupting the user's experience, further enhancing the user's car wash experience.

[0211] The remote control function is a controlled mode for the vehicle, meaning that in this controlled mode, the vehicle's components are controlled by the user terminal. For example, in the first mode, taking the car wash mode as an example, when the car wash mode is activated, the control device disables the remote control function. This prevents the vehicle's components from being remotely controlled by the user terminal device during the car wash, thus preventing interference from remote control to the car wash personnel. This allows the car wash operation to proceed normally, further enhancing the user's car wash experience.

[0212] The remote monitoring function is a vehicle safety monitoring mode in which a cloud device remotely monitors the vehicle's status and, if it detects an attempt by an unknown person to open the vehicle, activates the vehicle's locking mechanism. For example, in the first mode, using the car wash mode as an example, when the car wash mode is activated, the control device disables the remote monitoring function. This prevents the vehicle from being remotely controlled by the user's terminal device during the car wash, and avoids interference with the car wash staff caused by the remote monitoring function. This allows the car wash operation to proceed normally, further improving the user's car wash experience.

[0213] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, one or more functions including the automatic locking function, the warning function, or the remote control function can be turned off at the same time, and corresponding adjustments can be made to adapt to different car washing scenarios.

[0214] In embodiment 3, the control device adjusts the status of vehicle components, which may include but are not limited to one or more of the following: gear position, trunk lock, front trunk lock, door lock, window, door handle, charging port cover, fuel filler cap, wipers, exterior mirrors, interior mirror, sunroof, skylight, sunshade, steering wheel, seat, and on-board equipment. In this way, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example. When the car wash mode is turned on and the first parameter of the vehicle meets the first condition, the control device adjusts the status of the on-board components to make the status of the on-board components meet the requirements of the car wash scenario, allowing the car wash operation to proceed normally, thereby effectively improving the user's car wash experience. The on-board equipment may be one or more of the on-board air conditioner, on-board speakers, or seats, and this embodiment of the application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0215] For example, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example. If the components include the gear position of the vehicle, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device adjusts the gear position to P gear or N gear, so that the gear position of the vehicle can be suitable for different car wash scenarios.

[0216] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, if the components include door handles, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device adjusts the state of the door handles to a retracted state, which can effectively prevent water from entering the car through the door handles when washing the outside of the car.

[0217] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, when the component is a steering wheel, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the position and angle of the steering wheel to prevent the steering wheel from blocking other components in the car, making it easier for users to clean the components in the vehicle.

[0218] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, when the component is a seat, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the position, angle, or posture of the seat to prevent the seat from blocking other components in the car, making it easier for users to clean the components in the vehicle.

[0219] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, when the component is a skylight, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the transmittance of the skylight so that there is enough light in the car, making it easier for the user to clean the components in the vehicle.

[0220] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example, when the component is a sunshade, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the opening / closing or moving position of the sunshade, thereby facilitating the user to clean the inside of the car window.

[0221] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, if the components include a sunroof of the vehicle, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can control the sunroof to close, which can effectively prevent water from entering the vehicle through the sunroof when cleaning the outside of the vehicle.

[0222] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example, when the component is the front trunk lock, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the switch of the front trunk, or the angle of the switch, thereby making it easier for the user to clean the front trunk lock.

[0223] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, when the component is a trunk lock, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the trunk switch or the angle of the switch to facilitate the user to clean the trunk lock.

[0224] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example of the first mode, when the component is an exterior rearview mirror, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the angle of the exterior rearview mirror, thereby making it easier for the user to clean the car body.

[0225] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example, when the component is an interior rearview mirror, when the car wash mode is turned on, the control device can adjust the angles of the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, thereby making it easier for the user to clean the car body.

[0226] For another example, taking the car wash mode as an example, if the vehicle's onboard components include exterior mirrors or exterior rearview mirrors, when the car wash mode is activated, the control device can control the rearview mirrors to be in the first state (i.e., folded state), facilitating the user's car washing operation. Furthermore, in one possible embodiment, after activating the car wash mode, the control device can also control the rearview mirrors to remain in the first state (i.e., folded state). In this way, regardless of whether the vehicle is powered on or off, the rearview mirrors remain in the folded state, ensuring that the state of the rearview mirrors meets the requirements of a car wash scenario.

[0227] Embodiments 1 to 3 may be used alone or in combination.

[0228] In order to make the user aware of the necessity of performing the first operation and prevent the user from interrupting the car washing operation due to erroneous operation. In one possible embodiment, the control device can obtain instruction 2, which is used to indicate the second operation; the control device controls the prompt device to output the first prompt information, and the first prompt information is used to prompt the risk information corresponding to the fourth operation. Among them, the fourth operation is the opposite operation of the first operation, and instruction 2 can be a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction. For example, the first operation takes closing the car window as an example, the fourth operation takes opening the car window as an example, and instruction 2 takes the user instruction as an example. After closing the car window, the control device detects the voice command "open the car window", and then controls the prompt device to display the risk prompt information as shown in Figure 3C. In this way, the user can perceive the importance of closing the car window in the car washing scene.

[0229] In order to allow the user to intuitively perceive the process of the control device adjusting the status of the vehicle-mounted components, in a possible embodiment, the control device can also control the prompt device to output a second prompt message during the process of executing the first operation. The second prompt message can be used to indicate that the fifth operation in the above-mentioned first operation has failed.

[0230] In Example 1, as shown in FIG3D , the first operation is to close the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, the sunroof, and the doors, and the fifth operation is to close the doors. The second prompt information is illustrated by circular icons and triangular icons. If the control device successfully closes the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof, circular icons are displayed in front of the corresponding icons for the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof, respectively, to indicate to the user that the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof have been successfully closed. If the control device fails to close the doors, triangular icons are displayed in front of the door icons to indicate to the user that the door closure failed.

[0231] In Example 2, the first operation is to close the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, the sunroof, and the doors, and the fifth operation is to close the doors. The second prompt information is illustrated by red and green icons. If the control device successfully closes the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof, a green icon is displayed in front of the corresponding icons for the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof, indicating to the user that the windows, the charging port lid, the fuel filler cap, the wipers, and the sunroof have been successfully closed. If the control device fails to close the doors, a red icon is displayed in front of the door icons, indicating to the user that the door closure failed.

[0232] Furthermore, the control device can also obtain instruction 3, which is used to instruct to perform the third operation again. In this way, the status of the vehicle components can be made more consistent with the requirements of the car wash scene. Instruction 3 can include a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction.

[0233] In Example 1, the first operation is to close the window and door, and the fifth operation is to close the window. If the second prompt message indicates that the window closing failed, the control device detects a click operation on the window closing button, converts the click operation into instruction 3, and controls the window to close in response to instruction 3.

[0234] In Example 2, the first operation is to close the window and the door, and the fifth operation is to close the door. If the second prompt message indicates that the door fails to close, the control device receives the voice command "close the door" and controls the door to close in response to the voice command.

[0235] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple ways to control the device to turn off the first mode, including but not limited to the following:

[0236] In embodiment 1, the control device receives instruction 4, which is used to instruct the vehicle to deactivate the first mode; and in response to instruction 4, deactivates the first mode. Instruction 4 may include a remote control instruction or a human-computer interaction instruction, such as a voice instruction, a text instruction, or a gesture instruction. In this manner, the control device can control the vehicle to deactivate the first mode based on the detected remote control instruction or human-computer interaction instruction, allowing the user to flexibly control the deactivation of the first mode, effectively improving the user experience.

[0237] Example 1, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, and instruction 4 takes the human-computer interaction instruction as an example. If the control device detects the user's click operation on the "car wash mode" in the operation interface, the click operation is converted into instruction 4, and in response to instruction 4, the car wash mode is turned off.

[0238] Example 2, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example, and instruction 4 takes the voice instruction as an example. If the control device detects the voice instruction "turn off the first mode" input by the user, the control device responds to the voice instruction and turns off the first mode.

[0239] In Embodiment 2, the first mode, taking the car wash mode as an example, the control device detects that the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold and disables the first mode. This eliminates the need for user interaction and further enhances the user's car wash experience. The fifth threshold can be, for example, 20 km / h.

[0240] In order to further optimize the usage of the first mode and enhance the user's car washing experience. In one possible embodiment, after turning on the first mode of the vehicle, the control device can also: save the status information of the vehicle before the vehicle is in a power-off state; and obtain the status information of the vehicle after the vehicle is powered on. The status information of the vehicle can be understood as the user's relevant settings for the first mode in the first mode, such as turning off at least one of the automatic power-on function, the automatic vehicle locking function, the remote control function, and the early warning function. In this way, the control device can save the status information set by the user for the vehicle before the vehicle is in a power-off state when the first mode is turned on, and then automatically obtain the status information of the vehicle after the vehicle is powered on again, and then re-enter the first mode based on the status information without the user having to reset it.

[0241] To facilitate user settings for the vehicle's first mode by users other than the vehicle owner, the vehicle also features a guest mode. In one possible implementation, the control device can log out of the vehicle owner's account and enter guest mode. For example, in the first mode, for example, after the vehicle owner logs out, guest mode is activated. This allows car wash personnel to operate in the first mode during the car wash process, facilitating smoother car wash operations.

[0242] It should be noted that after the vehicle exits the first mode, there are multiple ways to re-enter the first mode, including but not limited to the following:

[0243] In Method 1, the control device receives a power-on signal, controls the vehicle to power on based on the power-on signal, and re-enters the first mode. The power-on signal can be a brake signal or an unlock signal, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, upon detecting the brake signal, the control device can control the vehicle to power on, and after the vehicle is powered on, it can automatically enter the first mode. This can effectively improve the user experience.

[0244] In mode 2, the control device controls the prompt device to output a third prompt message, which is used to instruct the user whether to re-enter the first mode. For example, the first mode is car wash mode. After the vehicle is powered on, the control device can control the prompt device to output the third prompt message "Do you want to enter car wash mode?" as shown in Figure 3E. If the user clicks "OK," the control device controls the vehicle to enter car wash mode.

[0245] It should be noted that the "user" here can be a car owner or a car washer, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any specific restrictions. Taking the car wash mode as an example, the first mode is when the vehicle is in visitor mode. In this scenario, the vehicle automatically enters the car wash mode after powering on, or the control device guides the user to control the vehicle to enter the car wash mode, which helps the car washer to perform the car wash operation efficiently and conveniently.

[0246] As can be seen from the foregoing description, the car wash scenarios in the embodiments of this application primarily involve mobile car wash scenarios and stationary car wash scenarios. The mobile car wash scenario involves moving the vehicle to a first location. The stationary car wash scenario includes interior car wash scenarios and exterior car wash scenarios. The interior car wash scenario involves cleaning the vehicle's internal components, while the exterior car wash scenario involves cleaning the vehicle's exterior components.

[0247] In an embodiment of the present application, a first sub-mode is set for an in-car cleaning scenario, and a second sub-mode is set for a mobile car washing scenario. Accordingly, the first sub-mode is used to clean a first area in the vehicle, and the first area includes the first display screen of the vehicle. The first sub-mode is applicable to an in-car cleaning scenario. The second sub-mode is used to move the interior of the vehicle to a first position, and is applicable to a mobile car washing scenario. Among them, the "first position" can be understood as the geographical location of the car washing operation, such as a car wash room. As shown in Figure 3F, the first mode takes the car wash mode as an example. After the user turns on the car wash mode, the user operation interface can also display the first sub-mode and the second sub-mode. If the control device detects a user click operation on the first sub-mode or the second sub-mode, the corresponding sub-mode is turned on. The following introduces these two sub-modes in conjunction with Example 2 and Example 3.

[0248] Example 2

[0249] FIG4 exemplarily shows a flow chart of another control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the system architecture shown in FIG1A . The method includes:

[0250] S401: The control device obtains a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to instruct to start a first sub-mode.

[0251] The first command can be a human-computer interaction command or a remote control command. The human-computer interaction command can be any of a voice command, a gesture command, or a text command, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. Thus, a first sub-mode for cleaning interior vehicle parts is provided, effectively meeting the needs of interior vehicle cleaning scenarios. Multiple flexible methods for controlling the activation of the first sub-mode are also provided, facilitating user control of the first sub-mode and thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0252] S402: When the vehicle satisfies a second condition, the control device responds to a first instruction and activates a first sub-mode.

[0253] In an embodiment of the present application, the second condition may include: the vehicle has started the first mode; the vehicle has not started the second sub-mode; the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the second threshold; the vehicle's gear state is P gear or N gear.

[0254] When the control device determines that the vehicle is in the first mode, it activates the first sub-mode, thereby preventing users from mistakenly activating the first sub-mode and thus effectively improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the control device determines that the second sub-mode is not currently activated, it activates the first sub-mode, thereby preventing safety hazards caused by interruptions in the second sub-mode and thus further improving the safety of the car wash operation. When the control device determines that the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to a second threshold, it activates the first sub-mode, ensuring that the vehicle's speed meets the requirements of the car wash scenario. When the control device determines that the vehicle is in P or N gear, it activates the first sub-mode, thereby preventing users from mistakenly activating the first sub-mode (i.e., interior cleaning mode) while the vehicle is moving (i.e., in D gear), thereby effectively improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the control device determines that the vehicle is in the first mode and not the second sub-mode, that the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to the second threshold, and that the vehicle is in P or N gear, it activates the first sub-mode, thereby improving both the safety of the car wash operation and the user experience.

[0255] S403: The control device executes a second operation corresponding to the first sub-mode.

[0256] The second operation involves shifting the vehicle's gear to P. It should be noted that while cleaning vehicle parts, vehicle movement can pose a threat to the safety of car washers. Therefore, in this design, shifting the vehicle's gear to P during interior car washing effectively prevents safety hazards caused by vehicle movement, thereby effectively improving the safety of car washing operations.

[0257] In one possible implementation, the second operation may further include at least one of controlling the vehicle to power off, disabling the first function of the vehicle, or adjusting the status of a component of the vehicle. For specific implementations and beneficial effects, please refer to the relevant description of Example 1 above and will not be repeated here.

[0258] S404: The control device obtains a second instruction, where the second instruction is used to instruct to turn off the first sub-mode.

[0259] The second command includes at least one of the following: a power-on signal, a vehicle lock signal, or a user command. The power-on signal can be a brake-on signal or an engine start signal, and the user command can be a human-computer interaction command or a remote control command, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. This provides multiple ways to control the deactivation of the first sub-mode of the vehicle, facilitating flexible user control of the first sub-mode and thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0260] S405: The control device turns off the first sub-mode in response to the second instruction.

[0261] Example 1: The second instruction takes the brake power-on signal as an example. When the control device is in the first sub-mode on, if it detects the brake power-on signal, it turns off the first sub-mode.

[0262] Example 2: The second instruction takes a voice instruction as an example. When the control device detects the voice instruction "turn off the first sub-mode" when the first sub-mode is turned on, the control device controls the first sub-mode to be turned off.

[0263] In the embodiment shown in FIG4 , the control device controls the opening and closing of the first sub-mode in response to the acquired instructions (ie, the first instruction and the second instruction), so that the use of the first sub-mode conforms to the vehicle interior cleaning scenario.

[0264] Example 3

[0265] FIG5 exemplarily shows a flow chart of another control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the system architecture shown in FIG1A . The method includes:

[0266] S501: The control device detects a third instruction, where the third instruction is used to instruct to start the second sub-mode.

[0267] The third instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction, which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment. In this way, multiple flexible ways of controlling the activation of the second sub-mode of the vehicle are provided, making it easier for the user to control the second sub-mode, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0268] S502: When the vehicle satisfies a third condition, the control device responds to a third instruction and starts the second sub-mode.

[0269] In the embodiment of the present application, the third condition includes: the vehicle has started the first mode, the vehicle has not started the first sub-mode, the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the third threshold, and the vehicle gear state is D gear.

[0270] In this way, when the control device determines that the vehicle is already in the first mode, it activates the second sub-mode, thereby preventing users from mistakenly activating the second sub-mode and effectively improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the control device determines that the first sub-mode is not currently activated, it activates the second sub-mode, thereby preventing safety hazards caused by interruptions in the first sub-mode and further improving the safety of the car wash operation. When the control device determines that the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to a third threshold, it activates the second sub-mode, ensuring that the vehicle's speed meets the requirements of the car wash scenario. When the control device determines that the vehicle's gear is in D gear, it activates the second sub-mode, ensuring that the vehicle's gear state meets the requirements of the mobile car wash scenario. Furthermore, when the control device determines that the vehicle is already in the first mode and that the second sub-mode is not currently activated, and that the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to the third threshold and that the vehicle's gear state is D gear, it activates the second sub-mode, thereby improving both the safety of the car wash operation and the user experience.

[0271] S503: The control device executes a third operation corresponding to the second sub-mode.

[0272] The third operation includes adjusting the vehicle's gear to N. It should be noted that if the vehicle is in P gear when moving it to a laundry room, the vehicle's electronic park brake (EPB) may be damaged by the conveyor belt. Thus, when the second sub-mode is activated, the control device adjusts the vehicle's gear to N, preventing the vehicle's brake system from being damaged by the conveyor belt when moving it to the laundry room.

[0273] Furthermore, after the vehicle is powered off, the control device can also control the vehicle's gear to remain in N gear. In this way, the vehicle continues to maintain N gear in the mobile car wash scene, so that the vehicle has corresponding power and can move to the first location (for example, the car wash room).

[0274] In one possible implementation, when the vehicle's speed exceeds a third threshold, the control device may further adjust the vehicle's gear position to P. For example, if the third threshold is 10 km / h, the control device may further adjust the vehicle's gear position to P when the vehicle's speed exceeds 10 km / h. This prevents the vehicle from moving too quickly, thereby improving safety for users while washing their cars.

[0275] In one possible implementation, the third operation may further include at least one of controlling the vehicle to power off, disabling the first function of the vehicle, or adjusting the status of a component of the vehicle. For specific implementations and beneficial effects, please refer to the description of Example 1 above and will not be repeated here.

[0276] S504: When the vehicle meets the fourth condition, the control device turns off the second sub-mode.

[0277] In this embodiment of the present application, the fourth condition includes: detecting a fourth instruction, which indicates deactivating the second sub-mode; or detecting that the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold and / or the vehicle's gear position is not N. The fourth instruction can be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. This provides multiple ways to deactivate the vehicle's second sub-mode, facilitating user control of the second sub-mode and effectively improving the user experience.

[0278] Example 1: The fourth instruction takes a voice instruction as an example. When the first control device obtains the voice instruction "turn off the second sub-mode", it turns off the second sub-mode in response to the voice instruction.

[0279] Example 2: Taking 3 km / h as an example, the fourth threshold value, when the control device detects that the vehicle speed is 4 km / h, the second sub-mode is turned off.

[0280] Example 3: Taking 3 km / h as an example, the fourth threshold value, the control device detects that the vehicle speed is 5 km / h and the gear position of the vehicle is D gear, and then turns off the second sub-mode.

[0281] Example 4: Taking 3 km / h as an example, the fourth threshold value, when the control device detects that the vehicle is in gear D, the second sub-mode is turned off.

[0282] In Example 3, a second sub-mode is provided for moving the vehicle to the first position. The second sub-mode can be applied to the scenario of moving the vehicle to a car wash, effectively meeting the need to move the vehicle in the car wash scenario; and a variety of flexible ways to control the opening and closing of the second sub-mode of the vehicle are provided, which facilitates the user to control the second sub-mode, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0283] It should be understood that when the car wash mode is turned on, the vehicle can automatically adjust various components to a state suitable for car washing to ensure the normal progress of the car wash process. However, in practice, users may forget to turn on the car wash mode before washing their car, causing damage to the vehicle during the wash.

[0284] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle control method, which can remind the user to turn on the car wash mode before washing the car, thereby avoiding the situation where the user forgets to turn on the car wash mode before washing the car and causes damage to the vehicle, thereby effectively improving the user experience. The vehicle control method is introduced in conjunction with Example 4 below.

[0285] Example 4

[0286] FIG6 exemplarily shows a flow chart of another vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the system architecture shown in FIG1A . The method includes:

[0287] S601: When a preset condition is met, a prompt message is generated.

[0288] The prompt message is used to remind the user to turn on the car wash mode. The preset condition includes that the vehicle is located in a car wash shop and is in a parked state.

[0289] Specifically, when a preset condition is met, a prompt message can be generated first, and then output to the user via the prompt device (correspondingly, the user can obtain the prompt message via the prompt device). For example, the prompt device can output the prompt message shown in Figure 3G: "The vehicle is currently parked at a car wash. Please turn on the car wash mode!"

[0290] Among them, the prompt device can be a vehicle-mounted display screen, for example, the prompt message is displayed to the user through the vehicle-mounted display screen; the prompt device can also be a vehicle-mounted speaker, for example, the prompt message is played to the user through the speaker; the prompt device can also be other terminal devices carried by the user or loaded on the vehicle, for example, the prompt message can be displayed or played to the user through the terminal device.

[0291] In one implementation, the vehicle is parked at a car wash and can be specifically located at the car wash. The vehicle's navigation destination is the car wash, and the vehicle arrives at the destination and parks. The car wash can be a destination entered by the user during route navigation or a car wash selected by the user through a nearby search, without limitation.

[0292] In another implementation, the vehicle is located at a car wash and is in a parked state, which may specifically be: the vehicle drives to a location where the user previously turned on the car wash mode and parks. In this case, the location may be recorded each time the car wash mode is turned on.

[0293] In another implementation, the vehicle is located at a car wash and is in a parked state, specifically: the vehicle senses that the current parked location of the vehicle is a car wash.

[0294] It should be understood that, compared to determining whether a vehicle has arrived at a car wash through navigation and positioning, the above-mentioned perception method can ensure the accuracy of the parking location. For example, when a car wash is located in a non-ground environment (such as an underground environment or a high-rise environment) or a complex road environment (such as an alley with complex road planning), navigation or positioning methods may not be able to accurately determine whether the vehicle is at the car wash, but perception methods can accurately determine it.

[0295] S602: Receive a user instruction, wherein the user instruction is used to instruct to start a car wash mode.

[0296] Among them, user instructions can be human-computer interaction instructions or remote control instructions. Human-computer interaction instructions can be any one of voice instructions, gesture instructions, or text instructions, etc. The embodiment of this application does not make specific restrictions. Remote control instructions can be instructions issued by the user through the user terminal device.

[0297] For example, the user can select and instruct to start the car wash mode through the "Settings->Vehicle Control->Scenario Mode" menu in the vehicle control APP; can also select and instruct to start the car wash mode through the menu button in the vehicle's control center; can also instruct to start the car wash mode through voice commands; can also select and instruct to start the car wash mode through the user terminal device, and so on, without limitation.

[0298] For example, if the prompt device outputs the prompt message "The vehicle is currently parked at a car wash, please start the car wash mode!" and also outputs "Cancel" and "OK" options, in this case, the user can select the "OK" option to start the car wash mode by clicking or speaking a voice command.

[0299] S603: Turn on the car wash mode according to the user instruction. It should be understood that after the car wash mode is turned on, the various components of the vehicle can begin to adjust to a state suitable for car washing.

[0300] Based on the embodiments of the present application, when a vehicle is located at a car wash shop and is parked, the user can be promptly reminded to turn on the car wash mode, thereby avoiding the situation where the user forgets to turn on the car wash mode before washing the car and causes damage to the vehicle, thereby effectively improving the user experience; in addition, it can also avoid the user turning on the car wash mode while the vehicle is driving and affecting the normal driving of the vehicle.

[0301] In one possible design, when preset conditions are met, the user may not be prompted to activate the car wash mode, but the vehicle may be directly controlled to intelligently activate the car wash mode to enhance the user experience. In addition, the user may be prompted when the car wash mode is intelligently activated.

[0302] In one possible design, after the car wash mode is turned on, the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the terminal device carried by the user can be disconnected and prohibited.

[0303] The terminal devices carried by users can include mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, and other electronic devices. For example, after a mobile phone establishes a Bluetooth connection with a vehicle, the incoming call notification tone on the phone plays in the vehicle. However, during a car wash, the user may not be in the vehicle. If the Bluetooth connection is still active, the user will not be able to receive calls, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0304] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application can control the disconnection and prohibition of the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device after the car wash mode is turned on, so that after entering the car wash mode and during the car wash process, the prompt sound on the user's terminal device will not automatically switch to the vehicle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0305] In this application, a control operation can be understood as generating and sending a control instruction to an execution device, which then executes the control instruction. For example, a control instruction is first generated to instruct the vehicle to disconnect and disable the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device, and then the control instruction is sent to the execution device. The execution device then executes the operation of disconnecting and disabling the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user's portable terminal device. It should be understood that the control operations involved in this application can be found in this description and will not be repeated below.

[0306] In a possible design, after the car wash mode is turned on, the remote control of the vehicle can be controlled to be disconnected and prohibited. Specifically, the remote control of the vehicle by the user carrying a terminal device or website etc. can be controlled to be disconnected and prohibited.

[0307] Traditional solutions allow users to remotely control their vehicles after leaving the vehicle. However, remotely controlling the vehicle during a car wash could cause water to enter the vehicle or disrupt the normal wash process. For example, if a user remotely opens a window after leaving the vehicle, water could enter the vehicle. Alternatively, if a user remotely turns on the air conditioner after leaving the vehicle, the noise could startle the car wash staff.

[0308] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application can control the disconnection and prohibition of remote control of the vehicle after the car wash mode is turned on according to user instructions, so as to prevent the remote control operation from affecting the car wash process or causing water to enter the vehicle.

[0309] Exemplarily, based on FIG. 1A , disconnection and prohibition of remote control of the vehicle may be controlled in the following manner.

[0310] Method 1: The controller sends a remote control prohibition command to the TBox, and the TBox blocks the remote control commands from the user terminal 300 or the server 200 .

[0311] Method 2: The controller sends a prohibit remote control command to the server 200 via the TBox, and the server 200 blocks the remote control command from the user terminal 300.

[0312] Method 3: The controller sends a remote control prohibition command to the user terminal 300 via the TBox or the server 200, and the user terminal 300 blocks the remote control command from the user.

[0313] In one possible design, after the car wash mode is turned on, when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the vehicle lights can be controlled to turn on; when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a second preset value and the maintenance time is greater than or equal to the second preset time, the vehicle lights can be controlled to turn off.

[0314] Among them, the first preset value and the second preset value can be the same, for example, the first preset value and the second preset value can be 3km / h or 4km / h, etc.; the first preset value and the second preset value can also be different, for example, the first preset value is 4km / h, and the second preset value is 3km / h; the second preset time length can be, for example, 10s, 15s, etc.

[0315] In an embodiment of the present application, after entering the car wash mode, the headlights can be controlled to turn on or off according to actual conditions. For example, when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset value, it indicates that the vehicle may be moving, so the headlights can be controlled to turn on to meet the needs of moving the vehicle in the car wash shop; for another example, when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a second preset value and is maintained for a period of time, it indicates that the vehicle may be in a car wash state, so the headlights can be controlled to turn off to avoid affecting the car washing process.

[0316] In one possible design, after the car wash mode is activated, if the vehicle's battery level is less than or equal to a third preset value, the vehicle's air conditioning can be turned off to prevent battery depletion. Furthermore, after the vehicle's air conditioning is turned off, it can also be manually turned on by the user, with no particular restrictions. The third preset value can be, for example, 5%, 8%, or 10%.

[0317] It should also be noted that after leaving the vehicle, users may remotely activate the car wash mode using a portable device. To facilitate cleaning of the vehicle interior, the vehicle will automatically unlock when the car wash mode is remotely activated. This situation can easily lead to the loss of items in the vehicle or the leakage of vehicle information.

[0318] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application also proposes: when the user remotely turns on the car wash mode, the user is prompted that the vehicle will automatically unlock after turning it on, and the user is asked to confirm again whether to turn it on based on the safety level of the vehicle's environment to avoid the loss of items in the car or the leakage of vehicle information.

[0319] Specifically, when a user remotely activates the car wash mode, a prompt message can be generated and then output to the user via the prompt device (correspondingly, the user can obtain the prompt message via the prompt device). For example, the prompt device can output the prompt message shown in FIG3H, "Remote activation of the car wash mode will cause the vehicle to automatically unlock. Please confirm again whether to activate it!", and can also output "Cancel" and "Confirm" options. Based on this, the user can confirm activation by clicking or voice commanding the "Confirm" option.

[0320] Example 5

[0321] In one possible design, the above-mentioned car wash mode can further include a first sub-car wash mode and a second sub-car wash mode. The first sub-car wash mode can be used for the first car wash scene, and the second sub-car wash mode can be used for the second car wash scene, so that users can choose different car wash modes based on the actual car wash scene, thereby improving the user experience.

[0322] For example, the first car wash scene can be a manual car wash scene or other non-conveyor car wash scene, and the second car wash scene can be a conveyor car wash scene. Based on this example, when the user needs to perform a conveyor car wash, they can select the second sub-car wash mode; when the user needs to perform a manual car wash or other non-conveyor car wash, they can select the first sub-car wash mode.

[0323] It should be understood that in actual operation, the car wash mode can be further divided into more sub-car wash modes, and different sub-car wash modes can be applied to different car wash scenarios, without limitation. For ease of description, this embodiment will be described using the first sub-car wash mode for manual car wash scenarios or other non-conveyor car wash scenarios, and the second sub-car wash mode for conveyor car wash scenarios as an example.

[0324] FIG7 exemplarily shows a flow chart of another vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the system architecture shown in FIG1A . The method includes:

[0325] S701: Receive a first user instruction, wherein the first user instruction is used to instruct to start a car wash mode.

[0326] The first user instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. The human-computer interaction instruction may be any one of a voice instruction, a gesture instruction, or a text instruction, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation.

[0327] For example, the user can select and confirm to enter the car wash mode through the "Settings->Vehicle Control->Scenario Mode" menu in the vehicle control APP, see Figure 3A; or select and confirm to enter the car wash mode through the menu button in the vehicle's control center, see Figure 3B; or instruct to turn on the car wash mode through voice commands; or select and turn on the car wash mode through the user terminal device, and so on, without limitation.

[0328] S702: In response to a first instruction from the user, controlling the display of a first sub-car washing mode and a second sub-car washing mode.

[0329] That is, after the user instructs to start the car wash mode, the display device is controlled to display the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode for the user to select according to the actual car wash scene.

[0330] For example, as shown in FIG3I , after the user selects and confirms to enter the car wash mode through the “Settings->Vehicle Control->Scenario Mode” menu in the car control APP, the user operation interface may display the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode for the user to further select.

[0331] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG3J , the car wash mode can also be selected and confirmed through the menu button of the vehicle's control center, and the user operation interface can display the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode for the user to further select.

[0332] For example, the user can also instruct to start the car wash mode through voice commands; can also select and start the car wash mode through the user terminal device, etc. The user operation interface can also display the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode for the user to further select.

[0333] In one possible design, while controlling the display of the first and second sub-car wash modes, the display may also control the display of related function descriptions of the first and second sub-car wash modes. For example, descriptions of the applicable scenarios of the first and second sub-car wash modes, the enabling conditions for entering the first and second sub-car wash modes, the adjustment status of components after entering the first and second sub-car wash modes, etc. The enabling conditions refer to the conditions for entering the first and second sub-car wash modes.

[0334] For example, when the first sub-car wash mode is applicable to manual car wash scenarios or other non-conveyor car wash scenarios, the enabling conditions of the first sub-car wash mode may include: the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a preset value (for example, 3 km / h) and the vehicle is currently in a non-situational mode (for example, nap or in-car care mode), etc. In other words, the first sub-car wash mode can only be entered when the above enabling conditions are met in actual situations.

[0335] For example, when the second sub-car wash mode is applicable to a conveyor belt car wash scenario, the enabling conditions for the second sub-car wash mode may include: the vehicle is currently in non-exhibition car mode and non-situational mode (for example, nap or in-car care mode), etc. In this case, the relevant function description of the second sub-car wash mode may include "When this sub-car wash mode is enabled, the vehicle will automatically shift to neutral and the AVH function will be automatically disabled" to remind the user that the vehicle will not lock when used in a conveyor belt car wash scenario after this function is enabled.

[0336] For example, when the second sub-car wash mode is applicable to the conveyor belt car wash scenario, the enabling conditions of the second sub-car wash mode may also include: currently in P gear and with the brakes on. That is to say, the second sub-car wash mode can only be entered when the current state is in P gear and the brakes on. In this case, the relevant function introduction of the second sub-car wash mode may include "Currently in P gear and with the brakes on, the vehicle will automatically switch to N gear after turning on this sub-car wash mode." It should be understood that when the vehicle is in P gear and with the brakes on, the AVH function will be triggered to shut down, thereby preventing the vehicle from locking during conveyor belt washing. In this case, after the second sub-car wash mode is turned on, there is no need to control the AVH function to be turned off.

[0337] S703: Receive a second user instruction, wherein the second user instruction is used to instruct selection of a sub-car wash mode.

[0338] Similarly, the second user instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. The human-computer interaction instruction may be any one of a voice instruction, a gesture instruction, or a text instruction, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation.

[0339] S704: In response to the second instruction from the user, control the selection of the first sub-car washing mode or the second sub-car washing mode.

[0340] Based on the first sub-car washing mode and the second sub-car washing mode displayed above, and the second instruction of the user, the first sub-car washing mode or the second sub-car washing mode can be controlled to be selected.

[0341] For example, when the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode are displayed on the user operation interface of the vehicle display screen for the user to further select, the second user instruction can be a click operation of the user on the user operation interface of the vehicle display screen (i.e., clicking on the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode). When the control device detects the user's click operation on the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode, it can control the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode to be marked or highlighted or the switch to display the turned-on state, etc., to prompt the user that the selection of the sub-car wash mode has been completed, see Figures 3I, 3J and 3K.

[0342] For example, when the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode are displayed on the user operation interface of the user terminal device for the user to further select, the second user instruction may be a click operation of the user on the user operation interface of the terminal device (i.e., clicking on the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode). When the terminal device detects the user's click operation on the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode, it can control the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode to be marked or highlighted or the switch to display the turned-on state, etc., to prompt the user that the selection of the sub-car wash mode has been completed.

[0343] For example, the user's second instruction may be a voice operation. When the control device detects that the user's voice instruction indicates the sub-car wash mode to be selected, it may control the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode to be marked or highlighted or the switch to be turned on, etc., to prompt the user that the selection of the sub-car wash mode has been completed.

[0344] S705: Receive a third user instruction, wherein the third user instruction is used to instruct to start the selected sub-car wash mode.

[0345] Similarly, the third user instruction may be a human-computer interaction instruction or a remote control instruction. The human-computer interaction instruction may be any one of a voice instruction, a gesture instruction, or a text instruction, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation.

[0346] S706: In response to a third instruction from the user, control the start of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode.

[0347] Based on the user's third instruction, the first sub-car washing mode or the second sub-car washing mode can be controlled to be turned on.

[0348] For example, if the user completes the selection of the sub-car wash mode on the vehicle display screen, the user's third instruction may be an "OK" operation clicked by the user on the vehicle display screen. When the control device detects that the user clicks the "OK" operation, it may control the start of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode, see Figures 3I, 3J and 3K.

[0349] For example, if the user completes the selection of the sub-car wash mode on the user terminal device, the user's third instruction can be the "OK" operation clicked by the user on the terminal device. The terminal device can generate a request message when detecting that the user clicks the "OK" operation, and send the request message to the control device through the server and TBOX, and then the control device controls the start of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode.

[0350] Exemplarily, the user's third instruction may also be a voice operation. After the selection of the sub-car wash mode has been completed, when the control device detects that the user's voice instruction indicates to start the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode, it can control the start of the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode.

[0351] In one possible design, when controlling the display of the first and second sub-car wash modes in step S702, the first or second sub-car wash mode may also be controlled to be selected by default. If the default selected sub-car wash mode is the user's desired sub-car wash mode, the user can directly instruct to activate the default sub-car wash mode through voice commands or by clicking "OK." If the default selected sub-car wash mode is not the user's desired sub-car wash mode, the user can first select the sub-car wash mode and then instruct to activate the selected sub-car wash mode.

[0352] In one possible design, the user can also directly select the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode through voice commands, that is, the above steps S701 and S702 can be skipped, and the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode can be directly controlled to be selected under the user's voice command, and then the selected sub-car wash mode can be turned on based on the user's command, thereby saving the step of turning on the sub-car wash mode and improving the user experience.

[0353] In one possible design, as shown in FIG3L , the scenario mode menu in the vehicle control APP may directly include the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode. The user can select and turn on the first sub-car wash mode or the second sub-car wash mode through the “Settings->Vehicle Control->Scenario Mode” menu in the vehicle control APP.

[0354] In one possible design, as shown in FIG3M , the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode may be directly included in the menu of the vehicle's control center, and the user may select and start the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode through the menu button of the vehicle's control center.

[0355] When the second sub-car wash mode is used in a conveyor belt car wash scenario, in one possible design, considering the potential risk of shifting the vehicle into neutral when the user is not at the vehicle, upon detecting that the user has selected and activated the second sub-car wash mode through the terminal device, the second sub-car wash mode can be prohibited from being entered. At the same time, a prompt message such as "Conveyor belt car wash is not currently supported" can be generated and output to alert the user. Furthermore, to reduce user learning costs, the user terminal device can display only the "first sub-car wash mode" without displaying the "car wash mode" and "second sub-car wash mode." This allows the user to directly click on the "first sub-car wash mode" on the user terminal when entering the first sub-car wash mode without having to make a selection. Alternatively, the user terminal device can display only the "car wash mode" and default this "car wash mode" to the first car wash scenario, allowing the user to directly click on the "car wash mode" to enter the first car wash scenario without having to make a selection.

[0356] It should be understood that after the sub-car wash mode is turned on, various components on the vehicle can be automatically adjusted to a state suitable for car washing, and different adjustment methods can correspond to different sub-car wash modes.

[0357] For example, using the first sub-mode for manual car washes or other non-conveyor car wash scenarios, after enabling the first sub-mode, you can control the automatic detection and closing of: doors, windows, sunroof, charging port, fuel filler cap, automatic wipers, sentry mode, remote control, automatic locking when away from the vehicle, adjust the air conditioning to recirculate or off, retract the door handles, and so on. Furthermore, to allow users to intuitively understand the adjustment process of on-board components, after enabling the first sub-mode, a pop-up interface can be controlled. This interface displays the adjustment status of each of the aforementioned components (see Figure 3J). Furthermore, a rearview mirror operation submenu can be provided, allowing users to fold the rearview mirrors as needed on the first sub-mode interface, or unfold them again by clicking again to meet driving needs.

[0358] Taking the second sub-car wash mode for a conveyor belt car wash scenario as an example, after the second sub-car wash mode is activated, it can be controlled to automatically detect and close: doors, windows, sunroof, charging port cover, fuel filler cap, automatic wipers, sentry mode, remote control, automatic locking when away from the vehicle, adjust the air conditioning to recirculate or off, adjust the door handles to retract, fold the rearview mirrors, shift the vehicle gear to neutral and maintain it in neutral even after the user exits the vehicle or turns off the power, etc. Furthermore, to allow the user to intuitively perceive the adjustment process of the status of on-board components, after the second sub-car wash mode is activated, a second sub-car wash mode interface can be controlled to pop up, which can display the adjustment status of each of the above components (see Figure 3K).

[0359] In one possible design, when the adjustment status of each component is displayed on the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode interfaces, components in different adjustment states can display different identifiers (for example: components in the adjusted state display the first identifier, components in the to-be-adjusted state display the second identifier, and components in the failed adjustment state display the third identifier), so that users can intuitively understand the adjustment status of each component, which helps to improve user experience.

[0360] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 3J and 3K, the first identifier, the second identifier and the third identifier can be different identification symbols. For example, the first identifier, the second identifier and the third identifier are "√", "○ (dynamic circle)" and "×", respectively, where the dynamic circle represents a state to be adjusted or in the process of adjustment.

[0361] Exemplarily, the first identifier, the second identifier and the third identifier can be different colors. For example, the first identifier can be green, that is, the components with successfully adjusted status are displayed in green font; the second identifier can be gray, that is, the components to be adjusted status are displayed in gray font; the third identifier can be red, that is, the components with failed adjustment status are displayed in red font.

[0362] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific presentation forms of the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier. Any form that can be used to distinguish different adjustment states can be understood as a different identifier.

[0363] In one possible design, the user may be prompted with the adjustment status of each component through other interactive methods, such as through voice broadcast, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0364] In one possible design, for components that automatically restore their status after exiting the sub-car wash mode, a fourth identifier can be controlled to be displayed on the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode interfaces, so that the user can intuitively understand the status of each component after exiting the sub-car wash mode.

[0365] Exemplarily, the fourth identifier can be a specific identification symbol, for example, marking a component that automatically restores its state after exiting the car wash mode with "☆"; the fourth identifier can also be specific text, for example, marking a component that automatically restores its state after exiting the car wash mode as "temporarily closed" (see Figure 3J and Figure 3K), etc., without limitation.

[0366] In a possible design, other interactive methods can be used to prompt the user that the components will automatically restore to their original state after exiting the car wash mode, such as through voice announcements, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0367] It should be noted that, after entering the car wash mode, traditional solutions usually do not clearly prompt the user to exit the car wash mode at a certain speed, resulting in a poor user experience. In the embodiment of the present application, the exit condition information of the sub-car wash mode can be controlled and displayed on the first sub-car wash mode and the second sub-car wash mode interface. The exit condition information is used to indicate that the sub-car wash mode will be exited when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset value, see "When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 20 km / h, the first sub-car wash mode will be automatically exited" in Figure 3J and "When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 10 km / h, the second sub-car wash mode will be automatically exited" in Figure 3K. This allows users to more intuitively understand the exit conditions of the sub-car wash modes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0368] In one possible design, the sub-car wash mode interface can provide users with shortcut keys for adjusting the status of the above components. After entering the sub-car wash mode interface, users can use these keys to reopen the doors, windows, charging port cover, fuel filler cap, automatic wipers, sunroof, sentry mode, remote control, automatic locking when away from the vehicle, reset the air conditioning to external circulation, reset the door handles to pop-up, deploy the rearview mirror, etc. Correspondingly, the status indicators of these components will also be adjusted to the third indicator.

[0369] In one possible design, the above-mentioned sub-car wash mode interface can also control the display of a car moving button, as shown in Figure 3J. The car moving button is used to obtain a car moving authorization for a preset number of times (for example, once, twice, etc.) or a first preset time (for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), so that after the user leaves the vehicle, the car washer can drive the vehicle from the parking space to the car wash space for washing based on the car moving button, and then drive it back to the parking space after washing.

[0370] It should be understood that normally when the vehicle is started (for example, by stepping on the brake and shifting to D gear), the vehicle will automatically detect whether a valid car key is present. If not, the vehicle cannot be started and the user will be prompted. If detected, the vehicle will start normally. However, after the user leaves the vehicle with the car key, when the car washer needs to move the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be moved because the valid car key cannot be detected when starting the vehicle. Based on this, the present application allows the car washer to click the move button, and the vehicle can be started within a preset number of times or within a first preset time period without detecting whether a valid car key is present, so that the vehicle can be started normally and moved.

[0371] In one possible design, after the sub-car wash mode is activated, the vehicle's speed can be controlled and limited. This can prevent the sub-car wash mode from automatically exiting when the vehicle speed is too high, and can also make it easier to track the user if the vehicle is stolen after leaving the vehicle.

[0372] In one possible design, after the above-mentioned sub-car wash mode is turned on, the interface of the sub-car wash mode can be controlled to be displayed and locked to prevent the car wash staff from switching the sub-car wash mode interface to other interfaces for operations (such as viewing or modifying vehicle configuration, etc.) after the user leaves the vehicle, thereby preventing the user's privacy from being leaked.

[0373] Optionally, after the above-mentioned sub-car wash mode interface is locked, the locked state can be exited by entering a password.

[0374] Optionally, the locked sub-car wash mode interface can be displayed in a screen-dominating state.

[0375] In one possible design, in a car wash scenario (e.g., a manual car wash scenario) where the user leaves the vehicle, after the above-mentioned sub-car wash mode is turned on, the glove box can be controlled to be locked to prevent the car wash staff from checking valuable or private items in the glove box.

[0376] In one possible design, when the car wash scene is a conveyor belt car wash, the AVH function of the vehicle can be controlled to be turned off to avoid the AVH hydraulic locking of the vehicle.

[0377] For example, when the second sub-car wash mode is used in a conveyor belt car wash scenario, the AVH function can be automatically disabled after the second sub-car wash mode is enabled. Alternatively, the user can be prompted to switch to P gear before enabling the second car wash mode (it should be understood that switching to P gear triggers the AVH function to be disabled), and then the vehicle can be automatically switched to N gear after enabling the second sub-car wash mode.

[0378] The above-mentioned embodiment 5 mainly uses the sub-car wash mode as an example to exemplify the control operations after the sub-car wash mode is activated. It should be understood that the car wash modes corresponding to embodiments 1 to 4 (i.e., car wash modes that do not include the sub-car wash mode) can also perform the above-mentioned control operations (for example, controlling the display of the car move button, controlling the display of component status, controlling the locking of the car wash mode interface, controlling the speed limit, etc.) after activation, without limitation. In addition, it should be noted that the contents of the above-mentioned embodiments can be used in combination with each other, and this application does not limit this.

As shown in Figure 9, the control device 900 includes: a control module 901 and a transceiver module 902.

[0402] The control module 901 is used to control the generation of a prompt message when a preset condition is met. The prompt message is used to remind the user to turn on the car wash mode. The preset condition includes that the vehicle is located in a car wash shop and is parked.
