[0052] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0053] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0054] Figure 1 is a system architecture diagram of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a vehicle to realize the process of displaying a positioning pattern on the vehicle window. The system architecture provided in the embodiment of this specification mainly includes a vehicle window 10, and the vehicle window 10 includes a wiper 11 and a heating module 12. Among them, the vehicle window 10 can be a windshield in a motor vehicle, for example, a front windshield or a rear windshield, etc.; the wiper 11 can be a component in the vehicle window 10 for cleaning the vehicle window; the heating module 12 can be a component in the vehicle window 10 that has a heating function and supports independent control, and can independently heat each area of ​​the vehicle window surface. The heating module 12 can be arranged between the multiple layers of glass of the vehicle window 10.

[0055] In the related art, when improving the efficiency of vehicle search, the method adopted is to control the wipers to clear the snow according to the thickness of the snow on the windows when the vehicle is covered with snow. However, since the wipers cannot completely clear the snow, the windows still appear snow-white after clearing, which cannot meet the user's needs to quickly find the vehicle.

[0056] According to the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window 10 is obtained in the vehicle window 10. If the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the first preset thickness, the wiper 11 of the vehicle is controlled to remove the snow to a second preset thickness. The second preset thickness is less than the first preset thickness. Based on the preset positioning pattern, the heating module 12 of the vehicle window 10 is controlled to remove the snow at the display position corresponding to the positioning pattern, so as to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window 10, and obtain Figure 1 The positioning pattern "280" displayed after heating by the middle heating module 12 is used to clear the snow corresponding to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window by combining the wiper and the heater to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, so that the user can find the vehicle intuitively, thereby improving the convenience and search efficiency of the user in finding the vehicle.

[0057] based on Figure 1 The system architecture shown below will be combined with Figure 2-Figure 6 , the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0058] See also Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S101-S103.

[0059] S101, obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle windows;

[0060] In one embodiment, since snowfall may cover the vehicle, making it inconvenient for the user to find the vehicle intuitively, when the snow removal function of the vehicle is in an activated state, the thickness of the snow on the windows is measured according to the thickness sensors arranged on the windows to determine the thickness of the snow on the windows. The windows may be the front windshield and the rear windshield of the vehicle, and the thickness of the snow may be the accumulated thickness of the snow on the windows. It can be understood that since the method of performing the snow removal function may be different depending on the thickness of the snow, it is necessary to obtain the thickness of the snow on the windows.

[0061] The thickness sensor may be a sensor for measuring the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window, specifically a length detection sensor, or a pressure sensor, etc., which may be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, if the thickness sensor is a length detection sensor, the method for obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window according to the length detection sensor may be to measure the thickness of snow accumulated in at least one area on the vehicle window, and to divide the thickness of snow accumulated in each area equally to obtain the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window; or the height of snow accumulated detected by the length detection sensor may be determined as the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window. If the thickness sensor is a pressure sensor, a judgment is made according to the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor, and the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window is determined based on the corresponding relationship between the pressure value and the thickness of snow accumulated.

[0062] S102, if the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the first preset thickness, controlling the vehicle's windshield wipers to clear the snow to a second preset thickness;

[0063] In one embodiment, after obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle windows, the snow thickness is compared with a first preset thickness. If the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the first preset thickness, the vehicle's wipers are controlled to work so as to sweep the snow on the vehicle windows according to the wipers, and the snow on the vehicle windows is cleared to a second preset thickness. The first preset thickness may be a preset thickness for determining whether the snow on the vehicle windows needs to be cleared, such as 5 cm, etc. The second preset thickness may be a preset thickness for determining the working state of the wipers. It can be understood that when controlling the wipers to clear the snow, it is necessary to control the wipers to sweep back and forth. When the snow thickness is less than or equal to the second preset thickness, the wipers are controlled to stop working. The second preset thickness is less than the first preset thickness. The specific values ​​of the first preset thickness and the second preset thickness may be set according to actual conditions.

[0064] S103, based on the preset positioning pattern, controlling the heating module of the vehicle window to remove the snow on the display position corresponding to the positioning pattern, so as to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window;

[0065] In one embodiment, a preset positioning pattern is obtained. The positioning pattern may be a pattern used to be displayed on a vehicle window to facilitate users to find the vehicle. The vehicle window is positioned according to the positioning pattern, and a display position of the positioning pattern on the vehicle window is determined. The display position may be a position indicating the position where the positioning pattern is displayed on the vehicle window. A heating module on the vehicle window is controlled to heat the vehicle window to remove snow at the display position. The positioning pattern is displayed on the vehicle window. The heating module may be a module with a heating function and is disposed in the vehicle window glass. It is understandable that the vehicle window glass may be double-layer glass or multi-layer glass. Therefore, by disposing the heating module between the glass, the heating module of each area of ​​the vehicle window glass can be heated to facilitate removal of snow on each area of ​​the vehicle window, so that the positioning pattern can be displayed on the vehicle window, so that users can intuitively find the vehicle according to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, when the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window reaches a first preset thickness, the wiper is controlled to clear the snow to a second preset thickness, and the heating module of the vehicle window is controlled to clear the snow at the corresponding display position based on the positioning pattern to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, thereby clearing the snow corresponding to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window by combining the wiper and the heater to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, so that the user can find the vehicle intuitively, thereby improving the convenience and search efficiency of the user in finding the vehicle.

[0067] The following will be combined Figure 3 A vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail with reference to a specific example.

[0068] S201, receiving a function start instruction transmitted by a user terminal, and starting a snow removal function in response to the function start instruction;

[0069] In one embodiment, since snowfall may cover the vehicle, making it inconvenient for the user to find the vehicle intuitively, when the vehicle receives a function start instruction transmitted by the user terminal, the vehicle responds to the function start instruction and starts the snow removal function of the vehicle. The function start instruction may be a query information generated by the user terminal based on weather data of the geographical area where the vehicle is located, and an instruction for starting the window snow removal function of the vehicle is generated based on a confirmation operation on the query information. The snow removal function can clear the snow on the windows of the vehicle, so that the user can find the vehicle based on the snow after the windows are cleared.

[0070] Specifically, the method for generating the function start instruction received by the vehicle may be: the user terminal obtains the weather in the geographical area where the vehicle is located according to the weather acquisition program. If the weather indicates that snowfall may occur, the user terminal generates an inquiry message to inquire the user whether to start the snow removal function of the vehicle, and displays the inquiry message on the display interface of the user terminal. After receiving the user's confirmation operation on the inquiry message, a function start instruction is generated, and the function start instruction is transmitted to the vehicle, so that after the vehicle starts the snow removal function, when the thickness of the snow accumulated on the windows reaches the snow removal conditions, the snow on the windows is cleared, so that the user can find the vehicle based on the windows after the snow is cleared.

[0071] S202, obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle windows;

[0072] In one embodiment, when the snow removal function of the vehicle is in an activated state, the thickness of the snow on the windows is measured according to the thickness sensors arranged on the windows to determine the thickness of the snow on the windows. The windows may be the front windshield and the rear windshield of the vehicle, and the thickness of the snow may be the accumulated thickness of the snow on the windows. It can be understood that since the method of executing the snow removal function may be different depending on the thickness of the snow, it is necessary to obtain the thickness of the snow on the windows. The frequency of obtaining the snow thickness can be set according to the actual situation, for example, it can be obtained once every minute.

[0073] The thickness sensor may be a sensor for measuring the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window, specifically a length detection sensor, or a pressure sensor, etc., which may be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, if the thickness sensor is a length detection sensor, the method for obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window according to the length detection sensor may be to measure the thickness of snow accumulated in at least one area on the vehicle window, and to divide the thickness of snow accumulated in each area equally to obtain the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window; or the height of snow accumulated detected by the length detection sensor may be determined as the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window. If the thickness sensor is a pressure sensor, a judgment is made according to the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor, and the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window is determined based on the corresponding relationship between the pressure value and the thickness of snow accumulated.

[0074] For example, if the thickness sensor is a length detection sensor, and detects four thicknesses of "4.92 cm", "4.95 cm", "5.05 cm" and "5.1 cm" corresponding to four areas on the vehicle window, the four thicknesses are evenly divided to obtain the snow thickness of "5.01 cm".

[0075] S203, if the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the first preset thickness, controlling the vehicle's windshield wipers to clear the snow to a second preset thickness;

[0076] In one embodiment, after obtaining the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle windows, the snow thickness is compared with a first preset thickness. If the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the first preset thickness, the vehicle's wipers are controlled to work so as to sweep the snow on the vehicle windows according to the wipers, and the snow on the vehicle windows is cleared to a second preset thickness. The first preset thickness may be a preset thickness for determining whether the snow on the vehicle windows needs to be cleared, such as 5 cm, etc. The second preset thickness may be a preset thickness for determining the working state of the wipers. It can be understood that when controlling the wipers to clear the snow, it is necessary to control the wipers to sweep back and forth. When the snow thickness is less than or equal to the second preset thickness, the wipers are controlled to stop working. The second preset thickness is less than the first preset thickness. The specific values ​​of the first preset thickness and the second preset thickness may be set according to actual conditions.

[0077] For example, if the first preset thickness is 5 cm and the second preset thickness is 5 mm, the thickness of the snow on the window is obtained each time the wiper swings, and the wiper is controlled to stop working until the thickness of the snow is less than 5 mm. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 When the snow thickness on the left middle window reaches a first preset thickness, the wiper is controlled to clear the snow on the window, and the Figure 4 The right middle window after the snow has been cleared.

[0078] S204, obtaining a preset positioning pattern and determining a display position of the positioning pattern on the vehicle window;

[0079] In one embodiment, a preset positioning pattern is obtained. The positioning pattern may be a pattern for display on a vehicle window to facilitate users to find the vehicle. The positioning pattern is positioned on the vehicle window according to the positioning pattern, and a display position of the positioning pattern on the vehicle window is determined. The display position may be a position indicating the position where the positioning pattern is displayed on the vehicle window.

[0080] The positioning pattern may be a pattern transmitted together with the function start instruction when the user terminal transmits the function start instruction to the vehicle, or may be a pattern pre-set and stored in the vehicle. The positioning pattern may be a pattern including numbers, letters, etc., such as "280", etc., and the specific content included may be set according to actual conditions.

[0081] Specifically, the method for determining the display position of the positioning pattern may be: receiving the positioning pattern uploaded by the user terminal, parsing the positioning pattern, determining that the positioning pattern includes an indication of a pattern element, where the pattern element may be an element used to constitute the positioning pattern, such as a line segment constituting a number, etc., determining the display information of the pattern element in a pre-created vehicle window coordinate system, determining the display information as the display position of the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, where the vehicle window coordinate system may be a coordinate system used to locate various areas on the vehicle window, and the display information may be information characterizing the position of the pattern element in the vehicle window coordinate system, such as the coordinates of the pattern element in the vehicle window coordinate system, etc.

[0082] For example, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The left side is the positioning pattern "280", the pattern elements used to form "280" in the positioning pattern are determined, the display information of each pattern element in the vehicle window coordinate system is determined, and then the display position of the positioning pattern is determined according to the display information of the positioning pattern.

[0083] Furthermore, in order to facilitate determination of the display position corresponding to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, a feasible method may be to pre-create a vehicle window coordinate system, and the method for creating the vehicle window coordinate system may be: create a blank initial coordinate system, the initial coordinate system may be to include only the origin, the horizontal axis, the vertical axis and the unit length, and based on the window size of the vehicle window and the composition structure of the heating wires in the heating module, adjust the initial coordinate system to generate the vehicle window coordinate system corresponding to the vehicle window, the window size may be to characterize the length and width of the vehicle window, the composition structure may be to characterize the positional relationship between the heating wires in the heating module, for example, it may be a grid structure in the shape of a field, etc., the unit length in the initial coordinate system is adjusted according to the distance between the heating wires, and the range of the horizontal and vertical coordinates in the initial coordinate system is adjusted according to the window size, to obtain the adjusted vehicle window coordinate system.

[0084] S205, determining a target heating wire in a heating module of the vehicle window based on the display position;

[0085] In one embodiment, based on the acquired display position, the heating wires in the heating module of the vehicle window are screened to determine the target heating wire corresponding to the display position. The heating module may be a module with a heating function that is disposed in the vehicle window glass. It is understandable that the vehicle window glass may be double-layer glass or multi-layer glass. Therefore, by disposing the heating module between the glasses, it is possible to heat the heating module in various areas of the vehicle window glass. The target heating wire may be the heating wire included in the heating module that corresponds to the display position.

[0086] For example, Figure 6 As shown, according to the positioning pattern Figure 6The display position on the middle window is used to screen the heating wires of the heating module on the window, and determine the target heating wires corresponding to the display position.

[0087] S206, controlling the target heating wire to heat, so as to remove the snow on the display position and display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window;

[0088] In one embodiment, the target heating wire in the heating module is started for heating so that the snow on the display position is cleared by the heated heating wire, so that after the snow on the display position corresponding to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window is cleared, the positioning pattern is displayed on the vehicle window, so that the user can intuitively find the vehicle according to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window.

[0089] For example, Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 As the target heating wire heats the snow on the middle window, the snow on the display position is gradually eliminated, and then the positioning pattern displayed on the window becomes clearer, thereby realizing the display of the positioning pattern on the window.

[0090] Further, after the snow is cleared on the vehicle window by the heating module to display the positioning pattern, since the display of the positioning pattern on the vehicle window is automatically triggered when the thickness of the snow meets the conditions, there is a situation where the user has not searched for the vehicle, but the vehicle triggers the display of the positioning pattern. In order to avoid unnecessary energy loss caused by the vehicle displaying the positioning pattern for a long time, a feasible method can be: obtain a preset duration, if the heating duration reaches the duration, and the snow thickness is less than the first preset thickness, turn off the heating module, and proceed to step S202. Among them, the duration can be a pre-set duration for determining whether to turn off the heating module, the heating duration can be the duration for controlling the target heating wire of the heating module to work, and the specific value of the preset duration can be set according to the actual situation, for example, it can be 30 minutes. It can be understood that when the heating duration of the heating module reaches the duration, turning off the heating module can avoid unnecessary energy loss caused by the excessive heating duration of the heating module and avoid reducing the service life of the heating module and the vehicle window. Furthermore, after turning off the heating module, in order to be able to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window based on the heating module later, the vehicle executes step S202 and subsequent steps so that the vehicle re-displays the positioning pattern, making it easier for the user to find the vehicle based on the positioning pattern.

[0091] Further, in order to facilitate the user to actively trigger the snow removal function and control the vehicle to display the positioning pattern to find the vehicle, a feasible method may be: if a snow removal instruction transmitted by the user terminal is received and the snow thickness is less than the first preset thickness, then compare the snow thickness with the third preset thickness, the third preset thickness is less than the first preset thickness and greater than the second preset thickness; if the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the third preset thickness, then proceed to step 203; if the snow thickness is less than the third preset thickness, then proceed to step S204. The third preset thickness may be a preset thickness used to determine whether to remove snow only based on the heating module, and the specific value of the third preset thickness may be set according to actual conditions, for example, it may be 1 cm. It is understandable that the energy required to clear the snow only by the heating module is greater than the energy required to clear the snow by combining the wiper and the heating module. Therefore, in order to reduce energy loss, a third preset thickness is set for judgment. When the snow thickness is less than the third preset thickness, it is considered that the energy consumed by clearing the snow only by the heating module is similar to the energy consumed by clearing the snow by combining the wiper and the heating module. The snow is cleared only by the heating module to quickly and intuitively display the positioning pattern. When the snow thickness is greater than or equal to the third preset thickness, the snow is cleared in combination with the wiper and the heating module, thereby reducing the energy loss of the vehicle.

[0092] Exemplarily, if the third preset thickness is 1 cm, when the vehicle receives the snow removal command transmitted by the user terminal, the vehicle obtains the thickness of the snow on the window. If the snow thickness is 3 cm, it is determined that the snow thickness is greater than the third preset thickness, and the process proceeds to step S203 to display the positioning pattern in combination with the wiper and heating module. If the snow thickness is 0.7 cm, it is determined that the snow thickness is less than the third preset thickness, and the process proceeds to step S204 to clear the snow only based on the heating module to display the positioning pattern.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, when the thickness of snow accumulated on the vehicle window reaches the first preset thickness, the wiper is controlled to remove the snow to the second preset thickness, and then the heating module of the vehicle window is controlled to remove the snow at the corresponding display position based on the positioning pattern to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, thereby removing the snow corresponding to the positioning pattern on the vehicle window by combining the wiper and the heater to display the positioning pattern on the vehicle window, so that the user can intuitively find the vehicle, thereby improving the convenience and search efficiency of the user to find the vehicle. Further, the user is prompted according to the weather data, and the snow removal function is started in response to the user's start instruction to remove the snow on the vehicle window and display the positioning pattern, thereby improving the convenience and search efficiency of the user to find the vehicle; in addition, the heating module is turned off according to the thickness of the snow and the heating time of the heating module, so as to avoid unnecessary energy loss caused by the excessive heating time of the heating module, and avoid reducing the service life of the heating module and the vehicle window; further, the working state of the wiper and the heating module is adjusted according to the thickness of the snow, thereby reducing the energy loss of the vehicle and optimizing the energy control of the vehicle.
