[0015] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0016] It should be noted that the titles of any sections / subsections provided herein are not restrictive. Various embodiments are described throughout this article, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section / subsection. In addition, the embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0018] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects are subject to the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user knows and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0019] In this specification and the embodiments, if personal information processing is involved, it will be processed on the premise of having a legal basis (such as obtaining the consent of the subject of personal information, or it is necessary to perform a contract, etc.), and will only be processed within the scope of regulations or agreements. If a user refuses to process personal information other than the necessary information for basic functions, it will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0020] As briefly mentioned above, with the advancement of autonomous driving technology, some vehicles based on autonomous driving capabilities (also called autonomous vehicles) are able to provide travel services for users. Traditionally, in the process of travel services provided by autonomous vehicles, it is difficult for passengers to control the itinerary. For example, if a passenger needs to stop midway, he or she may need to inform the customer service of the parking demand, and the customer service staff will remotely control the autonomous vehicle to park by the side of the road. Such a process has a long link and takes a long time, which may make it difficult to meet some sudden parking needs of passengers.

[0021] The embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for travel services. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a group of candidate parking areas can be presented in an interactive interface displayed by at least one display device of the autonomous vehicle during the process of the autonomous vehicle serving a target trip; a user's parking request can be obtained based on the selection of a target parking area from the group of candidate parking areas; a first parking position can be determined based on at least parking constraint information indicated by the parking request, wherein the parking constraint information at least indicates the selected target parking area; and the autonomous vehicle can be triggered to park at the first parking position.

[0022] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support passengers to initiate parking requests with constraint information during the travel of autonomous vehicles, and trigger the autonomous vehicles to park at the corresponding parking locations based on the constraint information. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the travel experience of users and the automatic processing capability of emergency scenarios, thereby improving the reliability of travel services provided by autonomous vehicles.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. As shown, the environment 100 may include an autonomous vehicle 110. The autonomous vehicle 110 may be a vehicle with autonomous driving capability (or unmanned driving capability), also referred to as an unmanned vehicle, an autonomous driving vehicle, etc.

[0025] In some scenarios, autonomous vehicle 110 may be assigned to provide travel services to users. For example, users may obtain travel services provided by autonomous vehicle 110 through a travel application. In some scenarios, autonomous vehicle 110 may also be referred to as a driverless taxi, or robotaxi.

[0026] When the autonomous vehicle 110 provides travel services to users, the autonomous vehicle 110 may be equipped with a safety officer. The safety officer may, for example, take over the autonomous vehicle 110 in an emergency. Alternatively, the autonomous vehicle 110 may be in an unmanned state.

[0027] When the autonomous vehicle 110 provides the travel service, the user (also referred to as a passenger) may, for example, sit in the back seat of the autonomous vehicle 110. Figure 1 As shown, the autonomous vehicle 110 may also be provided with one or more display devices in the vehicle, for example, a display device 120 - 1 and a display device 120 - 2 (individually or collectively referred to as display devices 120 ).

[0028] In some scenarios, such a display device 120 may provide an interactive interface 130, also referred to as a human-machine interface (HMI), for the user. The interactive interface 130 may display various appropriate types of information, such as information related to the autonomous vehicle 110 (e.g., driving speed, driving mode, current location, etc.), information associated with the trip (e.g., remaining distance, estimated time of arrival, etc.), and so on.

[0029] Alternatively or additionally, the interactive interface 130 may also be configured to receive interactive operations of the user to trigger the autonomous vehicle 110 to perform corresponding actions, such as starting a trip, ending a trip, etc.

[0030] In some scenarios, the display device 120 may be disposed at a preset position associated with the rear seat in the autonomous vehicle 110. For example, the display device 120 may be disposed at the back of the front seat to facilitate passengers sitting in the rear seat to view the interactive interface 130. Alternatively, the display device 120 may also be disposed at an appropriate position such as a central armrest of the rear seat. In other scenarios, when the user is allowed to sit in the passenger seat, the display device 120 may also include a passenger display device disposed in front of the passenger seat.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and functionality of environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Example parking interaction process

[0033] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2E Example interaction interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. The interaction interfaces 200A to 200E may be provided by reference Figure 1 The following is a specific example of the interactive interface 130 provided by the display device 120. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2E The interactive process of the passenger triggering the parking of the autonomous vehicle 110 through the interactive interface 130 is described.

[0034] like Figure 2A As shown, during the process of the autonomous vehicle 110 serving the user's target trip (e.g., the trip from the starting point to the destination), the autonomous vehicle 110 can use the display device 120 to present the following Figure 2A The interactive interface 200A is shown.

[0035] like Figure 2AAs shown, the interactive interface 200A can be used to display information 206 associated with the autonomous vehicle 110. As an example, the information 206 can indicate the driving speed (e.g., 40 km / h) of the autonomous vehicle 110. As another example, the information 206 can also indicate the driving mode of the autonomous vehicle 110, such as the automatic driving mode, the remote assistance mode, the minimum risk control mode, the manual driving mode, etc.

[0036] Additionally, continue to refer to Figure 2A , the interactive interface 200A can also display information 208 related to the user's target trip. As an example, the information 208 can display the remaining distance, remaining time, estimated time of arrival (ETA), etc. of the target trip.

[0037] In addition, the interactive interface 200A can also display a map component 210, which can display a vehicle identification 204 corresponding to the autonomous vehicle 110, and can indicate the current road, traffic participants and other information of the autonomous vehicle 110 in the form of a two-dimensional map or a three-dimensional map.

[0038] Additionally or alternatively, the interactive interface 200A may also display, for example, an indication element 212. As an example, the indication element 212 may indicate environmental information around the target trip. For example, the indication element 212 may be used to indicate a hospital, a restroom, a shopping mall, a coffee shop, and the like.

[0039] In some embodiments, the interactive interface 200A may also support a user initiating a parking request.

[0040] As an example, the interactive interface 200A may provide a control 202 (or referred to as a parking control), and the user may initiate a parking instruction by clicking the control 202, so as to trigger the autonomous vehicle 110 to obtain the parking constraint information indicated by the user during the service target trip.

[0041] Alternatively, the user can also initiate the parking instruction via the interactive interface 200A by other means such as voice. For example, after the user triggers the control 202, the user can initiate the parking instruction by means of a voice command.

[0042] Alternatively or additionally, the user may also initiate a parking instruction in other appropriate ways. As an example, the user may initiate a parking instruction by using an interactive device disposed inside the autonomous vehicle 110. For example, a physical button for triggering temporary parking may be disposed near the rear seat of the autonomous vehicle 110, and the user may initiate a temporary parking instruction by pressing the physical button. By means of physical triggering, the embodiments of the present disclosure may improve the reliability of request triggering.

[0043] Alternatively or additionally, the user may also initiate a parking instruction through a terminal device associated with the target trip, for example. For example, after the target trip starts, the user's terminal device may present an interface of a travel application and may provide a control for initiating a parking instruction. The user may initiate a parking instruction by interacting with the control.

[0044] In some scenarios, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine whether a parking area is found within a preset distance and / or a preset time period. For example, after receiving a user's parking instruction, if autonomous vehicle 110 still fails to find a suitable parking area within a predetermined distance (e.g., 100 meters) or a preset time (e.g., 1 minute), autonomous vehicle 110 may end processing the parking instruction and continue the target trip. Accordingly, display device 120 may, for example, present a prompt message about not finding a parking area.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 2B As shown, the autonomous vehicle 110 can present a set of candidate parking areas in the interactive interface 200B in response to the user's parking instruction. Figure 2B As shown, a set of candidate parking areas may include, for example, area 214 - 1 and area 214 - 2 .

[0046] In some embodiments, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine a display style (e.g., presentation color, edge shape, etc.) of a set of candidate parking areas in an interactive interface based on the parking attributes of the set of candidate parking areas. As an example, the parking attributes of a set of candidate parking areas may include a duration for which parking is allowed. For example, the interactive interface may determine a display style corresponding to the candidate parking area based on a time range corresponding to the duration for which parking is allowed to be increased, such as a border style, a background color of the area, etc.

[0047] like Figure 2B As shown, if the duration of parking allowed in area 214-1 is, for example, 30 seconds, then area 214-1 may present a first style (e.g., white background). If the duration of parking allowed in area 214-2 is, for example, 3 minutes, then area 214-2 may present a second style (e.g., gray background). In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can help users more intuitively perceive the differences between the parking attributes of different candidate parking areas, thereby helping users to more efficiently select a desired parking area.

[0048] Continue to refer Figure 2B, the interactive interface 200B may also present parking description information associated with a set of candidate parking areas. The parking description information may include the time during which the corresponding parking area is allowed to park. For example, the interactive interface 200B may display the parking description information 215-1 corresponding to the area 214-1, and display the parking description information 215-2 corresponding to the area 214-2. As an example, the parking description information 215-1 or the parking description information 215-2 may be used to describe the maximum duration of temporary parking (or pull-over parking) allowed in the corresponding area 214-1 or the area 214-2.

[0049] In some embodiments, the interactive interface 200B may display environmental description information associated with a set of candidate parking areas. As an example, the environmental description information may include facilities (e.g., toilets, shopping malls, coffee shops, bus stations, etc.) and road conditions (e.g., whether the road surface is wet or muddy) around the candidate parking areas.

[0050] In some embodiments, the set of candidate parking areas presented in the interactive interface 220B may include an area within a preset range (e.g., within a preset distance around the vehicle) suitable for the vehicle to park. Alternatively, the set of candidate parking areas may also be determined based on a planned route associated with the target trip.

[0051] As an example, a set of candidate parking areas may include roadside parking areas corresponding to the planned route to support users to temporarily park or pull over during the target trip. As an example, a set of candidate parking areas may be areas available for parking included in the planned route (e.g., emergency lanes, highway service areas, public parking areas, etc.).

[0052] As an example, the distance from a set of candidate parking areas to the planned route is less than a threshold. As an example, the distance from a set of candidate parking areas to the planned route can be, for example, less than a threshold. In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can avoid parking areas that are far from the planned route of the trip and reduce the cost of route planning that the autonomous vehicle continues to form subsequently.

[0053] like Figure 2A As shown, the interactive interface 200A may also display a map component 210 to present the traffic environment associated with the autonomous vehicle 110. As an example, when the trip is in progress, the interactive interface 200A may display the map component 210 from the rear perspective of the autonomous vehicle 110 to facilitate the user to better perceive the surrounding traffic environment of the autonomous vehicle 110.

[0054] In some embodiments, autonomous vehicle 110 may adjust the viewing angle of map component 210 displayed in the interactive interface in response to receiving a parking instruction (e.g., selection of control 202 in interactive interface 200A). Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the display device 120 can change the virtual viewing angle from Figure 2A The state shown is advanced to present the Figure 2B The bird's-eye view shown makes it easier for users to better select parking areas and perceive surrounding traffic conditions.

[0055] In some embodiments, the set of candidate parking areas presented by the interactive interface may also be determined based on parking constraint information provided by the user. As an example, the parking constraint information may include parking scenarios and / or the duration of desired parking.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2C As shown, the autonomous vehicle 110 may present a selection panel 220 in the interactive interface 200C in response to the user's parking instruction to obtain the parking constraint information provided by the user. Figure 2C As shown, multiple selection controls may be presented in the selection panel 220. The multiple selection controls may include, for example, a control 222-1 (e.g., find the nearest XX location (e.g., shopping mall, toilet, cafe, etc.)), a control 222-2 (e.g., temporary parking for XX duration), and a control 222-3 (e.g., end the trip).

[0057] As an example, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine parking constraint information based on a target selection control in response to a user selecting (e.g., clicking) a target selection control from among the plurality of selection controls. Further, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine a set of candidate parking areas based on the parking constraint information.

[0058] For example, autonomous vehicle 110 can present one or more candidate parking areas associated with coffee shops closest to the current location of autonomous vehicle 110 in interactive interface 200C in response to selection of control 222 - 1 (e.g., find the nearest coffee shop).

[0059] For example, in response to selection of control 222-2 (e.g., temporary parking for 3 minutes), the autonomous vehicle 110 may present in the interactive interface 200C candidate parking areas that allow parking times of more than 3 minutes, without displaying parking areas that allow parking times of less than 3 minutes (e.g., parking times of 30 seconds).

[0060] In some embodiments, autonomous vehicle 110 may receive user selections of at least two controls, thereby determining a candidate parking area based on parking constraint information corresponding to the at least two controls. For example, autonomous vehicle 110 may present, in response to user selections of control 222-1 (e.g., find the nearest toilet) and control 222-2 (e.g., temporarily park for 3 minutes), a candidate parking area associated with the toilet closest to the current position of autonomous vehicle 110 and allowing a parking time of 3 minutes in interactive interface 200C.

[0061] For example, autonomous vehicle 110 may, in response to selection of control 222 - 3 (eg, end trip), pull into a location that allows parking that is closest to the current location of autonomous vehicle 110 .

[0062] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2B The interactive interface 200B may present prompt information 216 (eg, “Please select a parking spot”) for prompting the user to select a parking area.

[0063] As an example, autonomous vehicle 110 may obtain a user's parking request based on a selection of a target parking area from a set of candidate parking areas. As an example, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine that the parking constraint information indicated by the user's parking request corresponds to the target parking area (e.g., area 214-1) based on the user's selection (e.g., a click operation) of the target parking area (e.g., area 214-1). Further, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine a parking position (or referred to as a first parking position) based on area 214-1. Further, autonomous vehicle 110 may park at the first parking position.

[0064] by Figure 2B As an example, the interactive interface 200B may present a preset control 218 corresponding to a target parking mode. Specifically, the target parking mode indicates that the parking position is determined autonomously by the autonomous vehicle 110. For example, in the target parking mode, the parking position is determined without requiring the user to provide constraint information, or is not dependent on the constraint information provided by the user.

[0065] As an example, continue to refer to Figure 2B , autonomous vehicle 110 may determine a second parking location based at least on the planned route associated with the target trip in response to selection of preset control 218. As an example, autonomous vehicle 110 may determine the second parking location from the candidate parking areas based on a distance priority (e.g., closest distance), for example. Further, autonomous vehicle 110 may park at the second parking location.

[0066] In the present disclosure, the parking position mentioned above may indicate, for example, the specific coordinates of the vehicle parked, and the parking area specified by the user may indicate, for example, a position range. The autonomous vehicle 110 may determine the final parking position according to the indicated position range and the perception information.

[0067] like Figure 2D As shown, after the autonomous vehicle completes determining a parking position (eg, a first parking position or a second parking position), the interactive interface 200D may present trajectory information 224 to the first parking position or the second parking position.

[0068] In some scenarios, the user can also initiate a parking request during the parking process. Figure 2D As shown, the display device 120 may also provide a control 226 in the interface 200D to support the user in canceling the parking request. As an example, the display device 120 may receive the user's selection of the control 226 and may trigger the autonomous vehicle 110 to stop the process of pulling over and continue the target trip to return to the previously planned driving route. Alternatively, the user may also cancel the parking request by other appropriate means (e.g., physical buttons, voice commands, etc.).

[0069] In some embodiments, while the autonomous vehicle 110 is parking at the first parking position or the second parking position, the autonomous vehicle 110 may present prompt information associated with the first parking position or the second parking position being occupied in at least one display device 120 of the autonomous vehicle in response to the first parking position or the second parking position being occupied.

[0070] In some scenarios, if the determined parking location is occupied, the display device 120 may, for example, display a control for continuing the trip. Further, the autonomous vehicle 110 may continue the target trip to return to the previously planned driving route in response to the user's selection of the control for continuing the trip.

[0071] In other scenarios, if the determined parking position is occupied, the display device 120 may also display a control for reselecting a point. Further, the display device 120 may present a new candidate parking area that satisfies the parking constraint information and is recommended to the user in response to the user selecting the control for reselecting a point, for the user to select.

[0072] In some other scenarios, if the determined parking position is occupied, the autonomous vehicle 110 may also select the nearest parking area from other candidate parking areas for parking.

[0073] like Figure 2EAs shown, after the autonomous vehicle 110 parks at the first parking position or the second parking position, the display device 120 may, for example, display a prompt message 228 in the interactive interface 200E to indicate that the autonomous vehicle 110 has completed the pull-over parking.

[0074] Additionally, after the autonomous vehicle 110 stops at the target parking location, the display device 120 may also adjust the viewing angle of the displayed map component 210. For example, the display device 120 may advance the virtual perspective forward to present the following: Figure 2E The bird's-eye view shown makes it easier for users to better perceive the surrounding traffic conditions.

[0075] In some scenarios, in response to the autonomous vehicle 110 parking at the target parking location, the display device 120 may also present perception reminder information associated with the preset direction of the autonomous vehicle 110 .

[0076] In some scenarios, the perception reminder information may indicate, for example, traffic objects within a preset distance behind the autonomous vehicle 110, such as pedestrians, vehicles, animals, etc. As an example, Figure 2E As shown, the display device 120 can, for example, highlight the vehicle identification 230 corresponding to the vehicle within a preset distance behind the autonomous vehicle 110 in the map component 210. Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can facilitate the user to perceive whether the current door opening may be risky, thereby improving the safety of parking.

[0077] Continue to refer Figure 2E , the display device 120 can also provide a control 232 for continuing the target trip. As an example, the user can initiate a request to continue the target trip by clicking the control 232, for example.

[0078] After the autonomous vehicle 110 stops at the target parking location, the user may open the door and leave the autonomous vehicle 110, or the user may stay in the autonomous vehicle 110. Furthermore, the user may, for example, initiate a service request to continue the journey at any time. For example, the user may initiate a service request to continue the journey by clicking a control 222 in the interactive interface presented by the display device 120.

[0079] Alternatively, the user may also initiate a request to continue the journey in other appropriate ways. For example, the user may initiate a request to continue the journey through a terminal device installed with a travel application. Alternatively, the autonomous vehicle 110 may also automatically receive a service request to continue the journey by detecting the closed state of a door after it is opened.

[0080] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support passengers to initiate parking requests with constraint information during the travel of autonomous vehicles, and trigger the autonomous vehicles to park at the corresponding parking locations based on the constraint information. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the travel experience of users and the automatic processing capability of emergency scenarios, thereby improving the reliability of travel services provided by autonomous vehicles.

[0081] Example Process

[0082] Figure 3 1 is a flow chart showing an example process 300 for a mobility service according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 300 may be implemented at an autonomous vehicle 110. Figure 1 Process 300 is described.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, in block 310 , autonomous vehicle 110 presents a set of candidate parking areas in an interactive interface displayed by at least one display device of autonomous vehicle 110 during the autonomous vehicle servicing a target trip.

[0084] At block 320 , autonomous vehicle 110 obtains a parking request from a user based on a selection of a target parking area from among a set of candidate parking areas.

[0085] At block 330 , autonomous vehicle 110 determines a first parking location based at least on parking constraint information indicated by the parking request, wherein the parking constraint information indicates at least the selected target parking area.

[0086] At block 340 , autonomous vehicle 110 is triggered to park at a first parking location.

[0087] In some embodiments, the process 300 further includes: determining a display style of the set of candidate parking areas in the interactive interface based on the parking attributes of the set of candidate parking areas.

[0088] In some embodiments, the process 300 further includes: presenting, in the interactive interface, parking description information associated with a set of candidate parking areas, the parking description information including a time when parking is allowed in the corresponding parking area.

[0089] In some embodiments, a set of candidate parking areas is determined based on a planned route associated with the target trip.
