[0042] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a switch indicator light control method provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0043] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a switch indicator light control device provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0044] Figure 3 A block diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] It should be understood that the references to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification mean that the specific features, structures, or characteristics associated with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the references to "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0047] In the various embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the following processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0048] In the prior art, when a user issues a drive mode switch request, the switch indicator light flashes at the target position. When the requested drive mode is consistent with the actual drive mode, the switch light is always on. If they are inconsistent, it will continue to flash. If the user switches the physical switch and then quickly switches the soft switch, the four-wheel drive system will execute according to the last request. In this case, the hard switch request state will not be consistent with the actual state, and the switch will continue to flash.

[0049] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a switch indicator light control method, device, electronic device and vehicle, which can control the flashing, constant lighting and off of the switch indicator light, so that the user can intuitively understand the status of the drive mode switching, and can also avoid the problem of the first target switch indicator light continuing to flash when the drive mode is switched to other drive modes.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a switch indicator light control method, the method comprising:

[0051] Step 101: upon receiving a first mode switching request for switching a driving mode to a first target driving mode, controlling a first target switch indicator light corresponding to the first target driving mode to flash; wherein the first mode switching request is triggered by a physical switch corresponding to the driving mode.

[0052] The switch indicator light control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the four-wheel drive system of the vehicle, and the four-wheel drive system corresponds to multiple driving modes, such as 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L, wherein 2H represents the two-wheel drive mode, 4A represents the intelligent four-wheel drive mode, 4H is the four-wheel drive lock mode or the forced four-wheel drive mode, and 4L is the low-speed four-wheel drive mode with increased torque on the basis of 4H. The user can switch the driving mode according to the use requirements.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can switch the driving mode through the physical switch on the center console (such as a manual lever or button), or through the soft switch corresponding to the driving mode on the vehicle computer. The switch indicator light of each driving mode is set at the physical switch position of the center console.

[0054] When the user issues a first mode switching request to switch the driving mode to the first target driving mode through the physical switch corresponding to the driving mode, the four-wheel drive system will receive the request and respond to the request to switch the driving mode to the first target driving mode. At the same time, the four-wheel drive system will control the first target switch indicator light corresponding to the first target driving mode to start flashing. By flashing the indicator light, the user is informed that the four-wheel drive system has received the switching request and is processing it accordingly. Specifically, the indicator light can flash at a preset frequency and color to attract the user's attention.

[0055] Step 102: Acquire driving mode information and the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light.

[0056] When controlling the first target switch indicator light to flash, the four-wheel drive system will obtain driving mode information, which includes the current driving mode. At the same time, the four-wheel drive system will also record the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light, where the flashing duration is calculated from the time when the switch indicator light starts flashing until the current moment. The four-wheel drive system can accurately record this duration through a timer or other timing mechanism.

[0057] Step 103: When the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light is less than or equal to a preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is the first target driving mode, control the first target switch indicator light to be always on.

[0058] Step 104: When the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is not the first target driving mode, the first target switch indicator light is controlled to be turned off, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the current driving mode is controlled to be always on.

[0059] The switch indicator light is controlled based on the acquired driving mode information and the flashing duration of the switch indicator light.

[0060] Among them, when the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light is less than or equal to the preset duration, and the drive mode information indicates that the current drive mode is the first target drive mode, the four-wheel drive system will control the first target switch indicator light to be always on. The preset duration here is a time value set according to the actual situation, such as 5 seconds. Within the preset time, the system successfully completes the switch of the drive mode, that is, the current drive mode is the first target drive mode. At this time, the control switch indicator light is always on to show the user that the vehicle's drive mode has been successfully switched to the first target drive mode. Optionally, the indicator light that is always on here can be green or other colors to indicate that the system is operating normally.

[0061] When the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration, and the drive mode information indicates that the current drive mode is not the first target drive mode, the system will control the first target switch indicator light to turn off. This indicates that the system failed to complete the drive mode switch to the first target drive mode within the preset time, or a problem occurred during the switching process. At this time, the system will control the switch indicator light corresponding to the current drive mode to be always on, so that the user can know the status of the current drive mode and help the user understand the operation of the system. For example, if the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode, the switch indicator light corresponding to the two-wheel drive mode is always on to indicate that the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode.

[0062] For example, when the vehicle is currently in 2H mode, the user wants to switch to 4H mode. The user presses the physical switch corresponding to the 4H mode, the system receives the first mode switching request, and controls the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode to start flashing. And set the preset duration to 5 seconds, then within 5 seconds, the system completes the switch of the driving mode, that is, switches to the 4H mode. At this time, the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode stops flashing and starts to stay on, indicating that the system has successfully switched to the 4H mode.

[0063] If the indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode flashes for more than 5 seconds, the drive mode information shows that the current drive mode is still the 2H mode or other mode. At this time, the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode goes out, and the system controls the switch indicator light corresponding to the current drive mode to be always on, indicating that the system has not successfully switched to the four-wheel drive mode, or the system has successfully switched to other modes. The other modes here can be the target drive mode corresponding to the mode switching request triggered by the user through the soft switch.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first mode switching request triggered by a physical switch is received, the first target switch indicator light corresponding to the first target driving mode is controlled to flash, and when the flashing duration is less than or equal to the preset duration and the current driving mode is the first target driving mode, the first target switch indicator light is controlled to be always on; when the flashing duration is greater than the preset duration and the current driving mode is not the first target driving mode, the first target switch indicator light is controlled to be turned off, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the current driving mode is controlled to be always on. By controlling the flashing, always on and off of the switch indicator light, the present application allows the user to intuitively understand the status of the driving mode switching, and can also avoid the problem of the first target switch indicator light continuing to flash when the driving mode is switched to other driving modes.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0066] When the first target switch indicator light flashes, receiving a second mode switching request for switching the driving mode to a second target driving mode, wherein the second mode switching request is triggered by a soft switch corresponding to the driving mode on the vehicle computer; the second target driving mode is different from the first target driving mode;

[0067] In response to the second mode switching request, the second target switch indicator light corresponding to the second target driving mode is controlled to flash, and the first target switch indicator light is controlled to turn off.

[0068] Specifically, the soft switch corresponding to the driving mode on the vehicle computer can be a touch interface button or menu option. For example, on the central control screen of the vehicle, different driving modes are selected by touch operation. When the user clicks the soft switch, the system generates a second mode switching request. Optionally, the soft switch can be set in a specific interface of the vehicle computer system, such as a vehicle setting interface, a driving mode switching interface, etc.

[0069] The second mode switching request includes a second target driving mode to be switched.

[0070] While the first target switch indicator light is flashing, that is, when the user triggers the first mode switching request through the physical switch and the system is processing the first mode switching request, the user triggers a new mode switching request through the soft switch, namely, the second mode switching request, and the second target driving mode of the second mode switching request is different from the first target driving mode of the first mode switching request.

[0071] At this time, after receiving the second mode switching request, the four-wheel drive system will control the second target switch indicator light corresponding to the second target drive mode to start flashing. The flashing mode of this indicator light is similar to that of the first target switch indicator light, or different colors or flashing frequencies may be used. At the same time, the four-wheel drive system will stop flashing the first target switch indicator light and turn it off to indicate that the four-wheel drive system stops processing the first mode switching request and instead processes the second mode switching request.

[0072] For example, when the vehicle is currently in 2H mode, the user switches to 4H mode (i.e., the first target driving mode) through the physical switch, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode starts to flash. At this time, the user switches the driving mode again through the soft switch on the vehicle computer, such as switching to 4L mode (i.e., the second target driving mode). After receiving the second mode switching request, the four-wheel drive system controls the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4L mode to flash, and turns off the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode.

[0073] In the above implementation scheme of the present application, by controlling the first target switch indicator light to turn off, conflicts or confusions can be avoided during the switching process. At the same time, the second target switch indicator light is controlled to flash, so that the user knows that the system is processing the second mode switching request, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the driving mode switching.

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present application, after controlling the second target switch indicator light corresponding to the second target driving mode to flash and controlling the first target switch indicator light to turn off, the method further includes:

[0075] Acquiring driving mode information and the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light;

[0076] When the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light is less than or equal to the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is the second target driving mode, controlling the second target switch indicator light to be always on;

[0077] When the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is not the second target driving mode, the second target switch indicator light is controlled to be turned off, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the current driving mode is controlled to be always on.

[0078] Specifically, the four-wheel drive system obtains the driving mode information when the second target switch indicator light flashes, and records the duration from the start of the flashing of the second target switch indicator light to the current moment. This duration can be accurately calculated by a timer or other timing mechanism.

[0079] When the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light is less than or equal to the preset duration, and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is the second target driving mode, the system will control the second target switch indicator light to be always on. The preset duration here is a time value set according to the actual situation, for example, 5 seconds. Within the preset time, the system successfully completes the driving mode switch to the second target driving mode.

[0080] At this time, the second target switch indicator light is always on to show the user that the system has successfully switched to the second target driving mode. Optionally, the always on indicator light can be green or other colors to indicate that the system is operating normally.

[0081] When the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration, and the drive mode information indicates that the current drive mode is not the second target drive mode, the system will control the second target switch indicator light to turn off. This indicates that the system failed to complete the drive mode switch to the second target drive mode within the preset time, or a problem occurred during the switching process. At this time, the system will control the switch indicator light corresponding to the current drive mode to be always on, so that the user can know the status of the current drive mode and help the user understand the operation of the system. For example, if the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode, the switch indicator light corresponding to the two-wheel drive mode is always on to indicate that the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode.

[0082] The above implementation scheme of the present application, by acquiring the driving mode information and the flashing duration of the second target switch indicator light, can display the response status of the second driving mode switching request triggered by the user through the soft switch through the switch indicator light, so that the user can be informed of the mode switching status in time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0083] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0084] When the first target switch indicator light flashes, receiving a third mode switching request for switching the driving mode to a third target driving mode, wherein the third mode switching request is triggered by a physical switch corresponding to the driving mode; the third target driving mode is different from the first target driving mode;

[0085] In response to the third mode switching request, a third target switch indicator light corresponding to the third target driving mode is controlled to flash, and the first target switch indicator light is controlled to turn off.

[0086] Specifically, while the first target switch indicator light is flashing, that is, when the user triggers the first mode switching request through the physical switch and the system is processing the first mode switching request, the user triggers a new mode switching request through the physical switch, namely, a third mode switching request, and the third target driving mode of the third mode switching request is different from the first target driving mode of the first mode switching request.

[0087] At this time, after receiving the third mode switching request, the four-wheel drive system will control the third target switch indicator light corresponding to the third target drive mode to start flashing. The flashing mode of this indicator light is similar to that of the first target switch indicator light, or different colors or flashing frequencies may be used. At the same time, the four-wheel drive system will stop flashing the first target switch indicator light and turn it off to indicate that the four-wheel drive system stops processing the first mode switching request and instead processes the third mode switching request.

[0088] For example, when the vehicle is currently in 2H mode, the user switches to 4H mode (i.e., the first target driving mode) through a physical switch, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode starts flashing. At this time, the user switches the driving mode again through the physical switch on the vehicle computer, such as switching to 4L mode (i.e., the third target driving mode). After receiving the third mode switching request, the four-wheel drive system controls the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4L mode to flash, and turns off the switch indicator light corresponding to the 4H mode.

[0089] In the above implementation scheme of the present application, by controlling the first target switch indicator to turn off, conflicts or confusions can be avoided during the switching process. At the same time, the third target switch indicator is controlled to flash, so that the user knows that the system is processing the third mode switching request, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the driving mode switching.

[0090] In an optional embodiment of the present application, after controlling the third target switch indicator light corresponding to the third target driving mode to flash and controlling the first target switch indicator light to turn off, the method further includes:

[0091] Acquiring driving mode information and a flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light;

[0092] When the flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light is less than or equal to the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is the third target driving mode, controlling the third target switch indicator light to be always on;

[0093] When the flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is not the third target driving mode, the third target switch indicator light is controlled to be turned off, and the switch indicator light corresponding to the current driving mode is controlled to be always on.

[0094] Specifically, the four-wheel drive system will obtain the driving mode information when the third target switch indicator light flashes, and record the duration from the start of the flashing of the third target switch indicator light to the current moment. This duration can be accurately calculated by a timer or other timing mechanism.

[0095] When the flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light is less than or equal to the preset duration, and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is the third target driving mode, the system will control the third target switch indicator light to be always on. The preset duration here is a time value set according to the actual situation, for example, 5 seconds. Within the preset time, the system successfully completes the driving mode switch to the third target driving mode.

[0096] At this time, the third target switch indicator light is always on to show the user that the system has successfully switched to the third target driving mode. Optionally, the always on indicator light can be green or other colors to indicate that the system is operating normally.

[0097] When the flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration, and the drive mode information indicates that the current drive mode is not the third target drive mode, the system will control the third target switch indicator light to turn off. This indicates that the system failed to complete the drive mode switch to the third target drive mode within the preset time, or a problem occurred during the switching process. At this time, the system will control the switch indicator light corresponding to the current drive mode to be always on, so that the user can know the status of the current drive mode and help the user understand the operation of the system. For example, if the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode, the switch indicator light corresponding to the two-wheel drive mode is always on to indicate that the current drive mode is the two-wheel drive mode.

[0098] The above implementation scheme of the present application, by acquiring the driving mode information and the flashing duration of the third target switch indicator light, can display the response status of the third driving mode switching request triggered by the user again through the physical switch through the switch indicator light, so that the user can be informed of the mode switching status in time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0099] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0100] When the first target switch indicator light is always on, the soft switch icon corresponding to the first target driving mode in the driving mode control interface on the vehicle is controlled to be highlighted;

[0101] When the switch indicator light corresponding to the current driving mode is always on, the soft switch icon corresponding to the current driving mode in the driving mode control interface on the vehicle is controlled to be highlighted.

[0102] Specifically, the driving mode control interface on the vehicle usually contains soft switch icons for various driving modes. These icons are important interface elements for users to interact with the system and are used to switch driving modes or view the current driving mode status. For example, on the main interface of the vehicle system, there is a "driving mode" menu, which contains soft switch icons for different driving modes.

[0103] When the switch indicator light corresponding to the first target drive mode is always on, the system will highlight the soft switch icon corresponding to the drive mode. Similarly, when the switch indicator light corresponding to the current drive mode is always on, the system will highlight the soft switch icon corresponding to the drive mode. This can be achieved by changing the color, brightness, shape or other visual effects of the soft switch icon. For example, set the soft switch icon to a bright color, such as red, or make it flash to attract the user's attention. The purpose of highlighting is to allow the user to obtain the current drive mode of the four-wheel drive system.

[0104] The above implementation scheme of the present application can help users quickly understand the status of the current driving mode and achieve synchronous control of the switch indicator light and the soft switch icon by highlighting the soft switch icon corresponding to the driving mode in which the switch indicator light is always on.

[0105] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0106] When the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light is greater than the preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is not the first target driving mode, a mode switching failure prompt is output.

[0107] Specifically, when the flashing duration of the first target switch indicator light exceeds a preset duration and the driving mode information indicates that the current driving mode is not the first target driving mode, an output mode switching failure prompt is triggered, indicating that the system has failed to successfully switch to the first target driving mode.

[0108] At this time, the system will output a clear prompt message to the user, informing the user that the drive mode switch failed. This prompt message can be in text form, such as "Drive mode switch failed, please check system settings", or in voice form, and conveyed to the user through the voice broadcast function of the car computer.

[0109] For example, when the vehicle is switching the driving mode to 4H mode (i.e., the first target driving mode), the first target switch indicator light flashes for more than 5 seconds, and the current driving mode is 2H mode (not the first target driving mode). The system outputs a prompt of mode switching failure, and the car screen displays "Drive mode switching failed, please check system settings". After seeing the prompt, the user may check whether the vehicle's drive system has a fault, or try to switch the drive mode again.

[0110] The above implementation scheme of the present application can enable users to promptly understand the failure of the drive mode switch by outputting a prompt of the failure of the mode switch, thereby preventing users from continuing to perform invalid operations without knowing it, and improving the user's operating experience and satisfaction.
