It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0077] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the term "comprising" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive protection. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally also includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally also includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. "Multiple" in the present application can mean at least two, for example, two, three or more, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0078] The method for generating a gear signal provided in the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the vehicle-mounted signal switch 102 can communicate with the external gear shifting mechanism: the second gear shifting unit 104 through Bluetooth, WiFi, star flash and other methods.

[0079] After receiving the first instruction from the user, the vehicle-mounted signal switch 102 may establish a connection with the second shift unit according to the first instruction. After receiving the first signal sent by the second shift unit, the working state of the second shift unit is verified by determining whether the state indicator carried by the first signal is a target indicator, and after the verification is passed, it is determined that the second shift unit is available for the user to perform a shift operation, thereby sending a first notification signal to the control center, so that the control center determines the gear signal of the second shift unit as a target gear signal, thereby controlling the vehicle to perform a shift operation and realize vehicle driving.

[0080] The control center may be a control information processing center, which may be integrated into an electronic control unit (ECU), a vehicle control unit (VCU), or a motor control unit (MCU).

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 The present application provides a shift control method, which is applied to Figure 1 The vehicle-mounted signal switch in the example is used to illustrate, including the following steps:

[0082] Step 201: Receive a first instruction.

[0083] The first instruction indicates that the first shift unit is switched to the second shift unit.

[0084] Specifically, the first shift unit may be a shift unit originally installed in the vehicle. Therefore, the first shift unit may be a physical shift mechanism, or a virtual button integrated in any component in front of the driver, such as a virtual button integrated in the central control display.

[0085] The second shift unit is independent of the first shift unit and is a physical shift mechanism.

[0086] In order to facilitate the driver's operation and reduce the safety hazards caused by the driver lowering his head to look for the second gear shift unit or confirm the gear position, in a possible implementation, the above-mentioned second gear shift unit is a physical device that occupies a certain space in the vehicle, and the positions of different gears are easy for the driver to distinguish and control.

[0087] Step 202: Establish connection with a second shift unit.

[0088] Specifically, when the first request signal from the second shift unit is received, a second confirmation signal may be replied to the second shift unit, thereby establishing a connection with the second shift unit.

[0089] Step 203: Receive a first signal.

[0090] The first signal carries the identity and status indicator of the second shift unit.

[0091] Specifically, the first signal is sent by the second shift unit. The identity identifier may be composed of at least one of numbers, letters and connectors.

[0092] The state indicator indicates the working state of the second shift unit.

[0093] In a possible implementation manner, the above-mentioned status indicator may include a first indicator and / or a second indicator.

[0094] The first indicator indicates whether the internal circuit of the second shift unit is a conductive circuit. That is, the first indicator indicates whether the signal can be normally transmitted in the internal circuit of the second shift unit. For example, when the first indicator is 01, it indicates that the internal circuit is a conductive circuit; when the first indicator is 02, it indicates that the internal circuit is a non-conductive circuit.

[0095] The second indicator indicates whether the signal generated by the internal circuit is a target signal that corresponds one-to-one with the internal circuit. For example, whether the signal output by the internal circuit corresponding to the "D gear" is the gear signal of the "D gear" rather than other gear signals (such as "S gear", etc.). For example, when the second indicator is 03, it indicates that the signal output by the internal circuit corresponds to the gear originally corresponding to the internal circuit; when the second indicator is 04, it indicates that the signal output by the internal circuit does not correspond to the gear originally corresponding to the internal circuit.

[0096] Furthermore, since in the second shift unit, the gear positions correspond to the number of internal circuits one by one. Therefore, in order to improve the user experience, in one embodiment, the number of first indicators is equal to the number of gear positions, which are used to indicate whether the internal circuit of each gear position is a loop. The information bits where each first indicator is located correspond to the gear position one by one. Similarly, the number of second indicators is equal to the number of gear positions, which are used to indicate whether the internal circuit corresponding to each gear position can generate a gear position signal corresponding to the gear position.

[0097] Thus, when one or more internal circuits in the second shift unit fail, a first fault signal corresponding to the internal circuit can be generated in time. That is, when the first indicator corresponding to one or more internal circuits is not the first target indicator;

[0098] And / or, when the second indicator corresponding to a certain internal circuit is not the second target indicator; a corresponding first fault signal is generated, and the first fault signal is sent to the information setting and feedback system, so as to display the first fault information carried by the first fault signal to the user through the information setting and feedback system. The first fault information includes the internal circuit code of the non-conductive loop, and / or the internal circuit code that fails to generate the target signal corresponding to the internal circuit. The internal circuit code corresponds one-to-one to the internal circuit in the second shift unit.

[0099] Step 204: In response to the state indicator being a target indicator, sending a first notification signal to the control center so that the control center determines that the gear signal generated by the second gear shifting unit is a target gear signal.

[0100] The first notification signal carries the identity of the second shift unit.

[0101] Specifically, the number of the state indicators can be one or more. The target indicators correspond to the state indicators one by one. That is, each state indicator can correspond to a target indicator. Each state indicator and target indicator can form a pair that uniquely corresponds to the state of the second shift unit.

[0102] The first notification signal may also carry a shift unit switching instruction, so that the control center can determine that the gear signal of the first shift unit is an invalid signal and the gear signal of the first shift unit is a valid signal according to the shift unit switching instruction and the identity of the second shift unit, and then send a second notification signal to the information setting and feedback system to show the user that the gear unit corresponding to the valid signal is the second shift unit; and send a gear signal to the shift actuator according to the gear signal of the second shift unit to achieve gear control. The notification information carried by the second notification signal indicates that the working state of the second shift unit meets the preset working standard.

[0103] Alternatively, in response to the state indicator being a non-target indicator, it is determined not to send the first notification signal to the control center, and a third notification signal is sent to the signal setting and feedback system, so that the signal setting and feedback system displays notification information carried by the third notification signal to the user. The notification information indicates that the working state of the second shift unit does not meet the preset working standard.

[0104] The number of the above-mentioned state indicators may be one or more. When there are more than one state indicators, if at least one state indicator is different from its corresponding target indicator, it is determined that the state indicator is not a target indicator.

[0105] The above-mentioned shift control method can be applied when the vehicle is started or after it is started. After receiving the first instruction, the on-board signal switch verifies the state of the second shift unit by verifying whether the state indicator carried by the first signal is the target indicator, thereby determining whether the first shift unit carried by the vehicle is switched to an external second shift unit, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of the driver's easy misoperation due to the small size of the first shift unit originally configured in the current vehicle.

[0106] In a possible implementation, when sending the first notification signal to the control center, it can be determined whether the first shift unit has completed preparation, so as to further improve the safety performance of switching the shift unit. Specifically, the first gear position state of the first shift unit can be determined first. The determination of the first gear position state can be obtained by receiving the gear position signal of the first shift unit; or, a second request signal is sent to the control center, so that the control information processing replies to the vehicle-mounted signal switch with the gear position signal of the first shift unit according to the second request signal.

[0107] Then, a second signal may be sent to the second shift unit, wherein the second signal carries the first gear state of the first shift unit.

[0108] Next, a third signal sent by the second shift unit is received, wherein the third signal carries the second gear position state of the second shift unit.

[0109] Finally, it is determined whether the first gear state is consistent with the second gear state, thereby determining whether the second shift unit has completed the preparation work by determining whether the second shift unit switches its own gear to a unit state consistent with the first shift unit according to the second signal.

[0110] If the first gear state is consistent with the second gear state, it is determined that the second shift unit is ready, and a first notification signal is sent to the control center.

[0111] If the first gear state is inconsistent with the second gear state, it is determined that the second gear shift unit has not completed the preparation, and the second signal is sent to the second gear shift unit again. Thereafter, if a third signal carrying a second gear state different from the first gear state is received, a second fault signal is generated and sent to the information setting and feedback system, so that the second fault signal is displayed to the user through the information setting and feedback system. The second fault signal carries the fault information that the second gear shift unit cannot switch to the first gear state.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the user's usage intention may be obtained before establishing a connection with the second shift unit to avoid misconnection. Specifically, based on the identity of the second shift unit, it may be verified whether the pre-stored permission list contains the identity of the second shift unit.

[0113] If not, a fourth signal is sent to the information setting and feedback system, so as to display the identity of the second shifting unit carried by the fourth signal to the user through the information setting and feedback system.

[0114] Then, in response to receiving the first confirmation information sent by the information setting and feedback system, it can be determined that the use of the second shift unit has been confirmed by the user, and the identity of the second shift unit can be added to the permission list, so that the next time the car and the second shift unit are powered on, the user's intention to use can be quickly verified directly through the permission list.

[0115] The first confirmation signal is generated by the information setting and feedback system according to a confirmation instruction input by the user for the identity identification of the second shift unit.

[0116] If the permission list includes the identity of the second shift unit, step 201 may be directly executed: establishing a connection with the second shift unit.

[0117] In order to avoid receiving an invalid or expired request signal due to factors such as network delay and failure of the second shift unit, in a possible implementation, a first request signal sent by the second shift unit is received, wherein the first request signal carries the identity of the second shift unit and the first connection request.

[0118] Then, based on the first connection request, second confirmation information may be determined, and a second confirmation signal may be generated.

[0119] Then a second confirmation signal is sent to the second shift unit, wherein the second confirmation signal carries second confirmation information obtained by the vehicle-mounted signal switch based on the first connection request.

[0120] Then, in response to receiving the third confirmation signal, it can be determined that a connection is established with the second shift unit. Since the third confirmation signal carries the third confirmation information determined by the second shift unit based on the second confirmation information, the on-board signal switch can determine, based on the third confirmation signal, that information between the second shift unit and the on-board signal switch is smooth, network latency is low, and the timeliness of message interaction meets the requirements of shifting, thereby establishing a connection with the second shift unit.

[0121] Based on the same invention concept, please refer to Figure 3 The present application provides a shift control method, which is applied to Figure 1 Taking the second shift unit in the embodiment as an example, the method comprises the following steps:

[0122] Step 301, establishing a connection with the vehicle-mounted signal switch.

[0123] Specifically, when the second shift unit is powered on, it can automatically send out a first request signal through a wireless network, a CAN network, etc., to try to establish a connection with the vehicle-mounted signal switch.

[0124] In a possible implementation, it may be determined to establish a connection with the vehicle-mounted signal switch upon receiving a second confirmation signal sent by the vehicle-mounted signal switch based on the first request signal.

[0125] The second confirmation signal carries second confirmation information obtained by the vehicle-mounted signal switch based on the first connection request.

[0126] Furthermore, in order to avoid the safety risk caused by the vehicle-mounted signal switch or the second shift unit being turned off in the case of network delay, and either the vehicle-mounted signal switch or the second shift unit receiving the signal of the other party, in a possible implementation, after receiving the second confirmation signal, the third confirmation information can be determined according to the second confirmation information, and a third confirmation signal carrying the third confirmation information can be generated. After sending the third confirmation signal to the vehicle-mounted signal switch, it is determined to establish a connection with the vehicle-mounted signal switch.

[0127] Step 302: Perform detection based on preset detection rules to obtain a status indicator corresponding to the detection rules.

[0128] The status indicator may include a first indicator and / or a second indicator.

[0129] The first indicator indicates whether the internal circuit of the second shift unit is a conductive circuit, that is, the first indicator indicates whether the signal can be transmitted normally in the internal circuit of the second shift unit.

[0130] For example, when the first indicator is 01, it indicates that the internal circuits are all conductive circuits; and when the first indicator is 02, it indicates that the internal circuits are non-conductive circuits.

[0131] The second indicator indicates whether the signal generated by the internal circuit is a target signal corresponding to the internal circuit one-to-one. For example, whether the signal output by the internal circuit corresponding to "D gear" is a gear signal of "D gear" rather than other gear signals (such as "S gear", etc.).

[0132] For example, when the second indicator is 03, it indicates that the signal output by the internal circuit corresponds to the gear position originally corresponding to the internal circuit. When the second indicator is 04, it indicates that the signal output by the internal circuit does not correspond to the gear position originally corresponding to the internal circuit.

[0133] Furthermore, the status indicator may also include a third indicator, which indicates whether the remaining power of the second shift unit meets a preset threshold.

[0134] Step 303: Send a first signal to the vehicle-mounted signal switch, so that the vehicle-mounted signal switch determines whether to notify the control center to use the gear signal of the second shift unit as the target gear signal.

[0135] The first signal carries the identity of the second shift unit.

[0136] In a possible implementation manner, when the status indicator includes a first indicator, the first indicator may be determined in the following manner:

[0137] Based on a first preset rule in the preset detection rules, an analog signal is generated so that the analog signal is transmitted in the internal circuit of the second shift unit, so that the internal circuit of the second shift unit can be verified by the analog signal to be a conductive loop, thereby obtaining a first indicator:

[0138] When the analog signal is input from the input end of the internal circuit and then output from the output end of the internal circuit, a first indicator is generated indicating that the internal circuit is a loop; at this time, the first indicator is actually a first target indicator.

[0139] When the analog signal is input from the input terminal of the internal circuit but not output from the output terminal of the internal circuit, a first indicator indicating that the internal circuit is non-loop is generated.

[0140] and / or,

[0141] When the status indicator includes a second indicator, the second indicator may be determined in the following manner to complete the self-check:

[0142] Based on the second preset rule in the preset detection rule, the aforementioned internal circuit, that is, the internal circuit corresponding to each gear position, generates a circuit signal, and checks whether the circuit signal is consistent with the target signal corresponding to the internal circuit, thereby obtaining a second indicator:

[0143] When the circuit signal is consistent with the target signal, since the target signal is the gear signal of the gear corresponding to the internal circuit, a second indicator indicating consistency can be generated, and the second indicator is actually a second target indicator.

[0144] When the circuit signal is inconsistent with the target signal, a second indicator indicating the inconsistency may be generated.

[0145] To further reduce the safety risk of gear control during driving, in a possible implementation, after sending the first signal to the vehicle-mounted signal switch in step 303, a second signal may also be received, wherein the second signal carries the first gear state of the first shift unit.

[0146] Then, the second gear position state of the second gear shift unit is set as the first gear position state of the first gear shift unit.

[0147] Finally, a third signal is generated according to the second gear state of the second gear shift unit, and the third signal is sent to the vehicle-mounted signal switch, so that the vehicle-mounted signal switch knows through the third signal that the second gear shift unit has been switched to the first gear state.

[0148] The following is an example of the first use of the external shifter (i.e., the second shift unit) in a vehicle to explain the method of gear control. Please refer to Figure 4 :

[0149] First, when the car is powered on, the control center can first send a car power-on notification to the on-board signal switch.

[0150] The user can input the first instruction through the information setting and feedback system, and then forward the first instruction to the vehicle-mounted signal switch through the control center.

[0151] The vehicle-mounted signal switch may start executing step 202 after receiving the vehicle power-on notification and receiving the first instruction: establishing a connection with the second shift unit. After receiving the first signal, determine whether the state indicator is a target indicator according to the first signal. If so, after determining the first gear state of the first shift unit, generate a second signal accordingly and send it to the second shift unit, and after receiving the third signal, send a first notification signal to the control center by determining that the second gear state carried by the third signal is consistent with the first gear state.

[0152] After receiving the first notification signal, the control center may send a second notification signal to the information setting and feedback system to notify the user through the information setting and feedback system that the gear position signal claimed by the second gear shift unit is valid.

[0153] At the same time, the control center can forward the target gear signal generated by the second gear shift unit to the gear shift actuator to realize vehicle driving through the gear shift actuator; and receive feedback after the gear shift actuator executes the target gear signal.

[0154] To further improve driving safety, the control center can also determine the driving state of the vehicle based on the vehicle speed after receiving the target gear signal, and judge whether the target gear signal is safe. If the vehicle speed is high (i.e., significantly greater than 0), the current gear and the target gear information carried by the target gear signal are compared to determine whether the vehicle's driving direction needs to be changed, such as from forward to reverse. If so, it is determined that the target gear signal is unsafe, and the target gear signal is not sent to the shift actuator.

[0155] If not, and no change of direction is involved, such as a change of driving mode (eg, D gear, S gear), then it is determined that the target gear is safe, and the target gear signal may be sent to the shift actuator.

[0156] On the contrary, if the vehicle speed is low (close to 0), the target gear signal can be directly sent to the shift actuator.

[0157] To further improve driving safety, before sending the target gear position signal to the shift actuator, the control center can determine whether a safety detection signal indicating that the vehicle status has met the safe driving standard is received after the vehicle is powered on. If so, the target gear position signal is sent to the shift actuator. Otherwise, the target gear position signal is not sent until the safety detection signal is received.

[0158] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a shift control method, please refer to Figure 5 , the method comprises the following implementation steps:

[0159] Step 501: Obtain a first instruction input by a user.

[0160] The first instruction instructs to switch the first shift unit to the second shift unit.

[0161] The first shift unit is an original configuration of the vehicle, and the second shift unit is a physical shift mechanism.

[0162] Step 502: Determine a state indicator of the second shift unit based on the first instruction, wherein the state indicator indicates the state of the second shift unit.

[0163] The status indicator may include a first indicator and / or a second indicator.

[0164] The first indicator indicates whether the internal circuit of the second shift unit is a conductive circuit, that is, the first indicator indicates whether the signal can be transmitted normally in the internal circuit of the second shift unit.

[0165] The second indicator indicates whether the signal generated by the internal circuit is a target signal corresponding one-to-one to the internal circuit.

[0166] In a possible implementation, the state indicator may be determined in the following manner:

[0167] Based on a first preset rule in the preset detection rules, an analog signal is generated so that the analog signal is transmitted in the internal circuit of the second shift unit, so that the internal circuit of the second shift unit can be verified by the analog signal to be a conductive loop, thereby obtaining a first indicator:

[0168] When the analog signal is input from the input end of the internal circuit and then output from the output end of the internal circuit, a first indicator is generated indicating that the internal circuit is a loop; at this time, the first indicator is actually a first target indicator.

[0169] When the analog signal is input from the input terminal of the internal circuit but not output from the output terminal of the internal circuit, a first indicator indicating that the internal circuit is non-loop is generated.

[0170] and / or,

[0171] When the status indicator includes a second indicator, the second indicator may be determined in the following manner to complete the self-check:

[0172] Based on the second preset rule in the preset detection rule, the aforementioned internal circuit, that is, the internal circuit corresponding to each gear position, generates a circuit signal, and checks whether the circuit signal is consistent with the target signal corresponding to the internal circuit, thereby obtaining a second indicator:

[0173] When the circuit signal is consistent with the target signal, since the target signal is the gear signal of the gear corresponding to the internal circuit, a second indicator indicating consistency can be generated, and the second indicator is actually a second target indicator.

[0174] When the circuit signal is inconsistent with the target signal, a second indicator indicating the inconsistency may be generated.

[0175] Step 503: in response to the state indicator being the target indicator, determining that the gear position signal of the second shift unit is the target gear position signal.

[0176] Specifically, when the state indicator includes the first indicator and / or the second indicator, correspondingly, the target indicator also includes the first target indicator and / or the second target indicator.

[0177] In response to the first indicator being the first target indicator and the second indicator being the second target indicator, it is determined that the gear signal of the second shift unit is the target gear signal.

[0178] Furthermore, when the status indicator further includes a third indicator, the third indicator indicates whether the remaining power of the second shift unit meets a preset threshold.

[0179] Correspondingly, the above-mentioned target indicator also includes a third target indicator.

[0180] When the third indicator is the third target indicator, it is determined that the remaining power of the second shift unit can support the vehicle's needs during this driving process, thereby avoiding the second shift unit being unable to continue to be used due to low power during use, resulting in a decrease in user experience.

[0181] In a possible implementation manner, the first indicator is a first target indicator, the second indicator is a second target indicator, and the third indicator is a third target indicator, and it can be determined that the gear signal of the second shift unit is a target gear signal.

[0182] Step 504: Display the gear switching information to the user.

[0183] The gear switching information includes an identification mark of the second gear shifting unit and notification information indicating that the gear shifting unit has been switched to the second gear shifting unit.

[0184] Furthermore, the shift control method may further include:

[0185] In response to the first indicator not being the first target indicator, or the second indicator not being the second target indicator, determining that the gear signal of the second shift unit is not the target gear signal, and displaying a gear switching failure message to the user.

[0186] The gear switching information or gear switching failure information displayed to the user may be in the form of, but not limited to, visual information, auditory information (eg, voice broadcast), etc.
