[0020] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure proposes a computing box mounted on a vehicle.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a computing box mounted on a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The computing box mounted on the vehicle needs to be connected to a control system for use. The computing box mounted on the vehicle can provide additional computing resources to the control system. The terminals include but are not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, sensors, IoT devices and other communication devices.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the computing boxes carried by the vehicle include:

[0023] An interface module 110, used to connect to a control system on a vehicle;

[0024] The processing module 120 is used to execute the first computing task assigned by the control system when the interface module is connected to the control system; wherein the first computing task is a task assigned to the processing module by the control system based on the usage of the computing resources of the processing module and / or the type of the task to be assigned.

[0025] In some embodiments, the vehicle may include but is not limited to vehicles such as cars and aircraft.

[0026] Vehicles are not limited to carrying people, but can also be used to transport goods. For ease of understanding, the following text takes the more widely used car as an example, and the control system on the car is the vehicle-mounted system.

[0027] In some embodiments, the interface module 110 may include a communication interface, wherein the communication interface may include at least one of the following: an in-vehicle network interface; a high-speed data interface.

[0028] The communication interface is mainly used for data transmission and data exchange with the control system. Among them, the vehicle network interface can be used to exchange data with the connected control system, such as the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) interface. The high-speed data interface can be used for high-speed data transmission with the connected control system to meet the real-time computing needs of the control system, such as Ethernet, USB (Universal Serial Bus), PCIE (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus).

[0029] In some embodiments, the processing module 120 includes at least one of the following: a central processing unit (CPU), a dedicated AI (Artificial Intelligence) accelerator, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a random access memory (RAM), and a storage device.

[0030] CPU can be used to perform complex computing tasks. GPU or dedicated AI accelerator can be used to process the large amount of image data and sensor data required for vehicle autonomous driving. Dedicated AI accelerator refers to a hardware device designed specifically to accelerate vehicle artificial intelligence tasks, which can increase the training and reasoning speed of deep learning models and reduce power consumption and cost. Memory is used to temporarily store data and run programs to ensure efficient execution of computing tasks. Storage devices are used to store operating systems, algorithm models, and historical data. For example, storage devices can be solid state drives (SSDs) or mechanical hard drives.

[0031] In some embodiments, the processing module, when the interface module is connected to the control system, is used to execute a first computing task assigned by the control system; wherein, the first computing task is a task assigned to the processing module by the control system based on the usage of the computing resources of the processing module and / or the type of the task to be assigned.

[0032] The processing module can perform a first computing task assigned by the control system.

[0033] The control system may determine the first computing task according to the usage of the computing resources of the processing module and / or the type of the task to be assigned, and assign the first computing task to the processing module in the computing box.

[0034] Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control system can break through the performance bottleneck of the hardware configuration and assign the first computing task to a computing box connected through an interface module. The first computing task is then executed by a processing module of the computing box, thereby providing additional computing resources for the control system through the computing box and improving the processing speed of the control system.

[0035] In some embodiments, the computing box also includes at least one of the following: a power management module; a heat dissipation module; a data security module.

[0036] The power management module is used to manage the power supply of the computing box to ensure the stable operation of the computing box. The heat dissipation module includes a heat sink and a fan to prevent the computing box from overheating. The data security module includes a firewall and an encryption chip to ensure the security of data transmission and prevent data from being stolen.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connection between the interface module and the control system is a detachable physical connection.

[0038] The interface module of the computing box can be physically connected to the control system in a detachable manner, and can be connected to the control system through a standardized interface (such as an Ethernet port, a USB port, a dedicated slot, etc.), supporting plug-and-play.

[0039] After the computing box is physically connected to the control system, the computing box can adopt standard vehicle communication protocols (such as CAN, LIN, etc.) and high-speed data transmission protocols (such as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)) to ensure compatibility and reliability.

[0040] The use of a detachable physical connection allows the computing box carried by the vehicle to be easily connected to the control system, thereby reducing the complexity of updating the hardware configuration of the control system and facilitating low-cost expansion of the hardware configuration of the control system.

[0041] In some embodiments, the connection location between the computing box and the control system may include at least one of the following: in the trunk of the vehicle, under the seat of the vehicle.

[0042] Since the computing box is modular in design, it is easy to install on the vehicle and can be connected to the control system at a specific connection location on the vehicle. It has good dustproof and shock-resistant properties.

[0043] The connection position is set in the trunk of the vehicle and / or under the seat of the vehicle, which can avoid the interference of the computing box with the user's daily use, and has good stability and shock resistance.

[0044] In some embodiments, the interface module is further used to connect to a download module, and the download module is used to install software in the processing module and / or update the software in the processing module.

[0045] Among them, the download module can be a terminal, through which software can be installed and / or updated in the processing module of the computing box.

[0046] The download module can be a terminal dedicated to transmitting software to the computing box, for example, it can be a terminal specialized for configuring the computing box produced by the manufacturer, or it can be any connectable networked device, for example, it can be a user's ordinary personal computer. The networked device can obtain the software to be downloaded to the processing device through the Internet, and then transmit the obtained software to the processing module through the interface module.

[0047] Since the processing module can store the software downloaded through the download module, and the connection between the computing box and the control system is a detachable physical connection, the control system can obtain different software by replacing the computing box with different software, or the control system can obtain different software synchronously by installing or updating the software in the computing box.

[0048] Compared with obtaining software through OTA, the control system obtains software through a computing box, which is more convenient, faster, more reliable, and less costly, and does not consume the control system's network resources.

[0049] In some embodiments, the software contained in the computing box may include at least one of the following: an autonomous driving algorithm; an artificial intelligence model; a data processing and analysis tool; and an edge computing management unit.

[0050] The computing box can provide computing resources to the control system by downloading software.

[0051] Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, the computing box can utilize high-performance processors and dedicated AI accelerators to process complex tasks that cannot be efficiently handled by the hardware configuration of the control system; and advanced algorithms can be preset in the computing box, and it also supports updating, upgrading and installing software in the control system through the computing box as a transit; a data security module can also be set on the computing box, and data encryption and access control can be provided based on the data security module to ensure the data security of the control system and ensure that vehicle information is not leaked or stolen.

[0052] In some embodiments, the computing box may provide computing resources corresponding to a preset algorithm based on the preset algorithm in the processing module.

[0053] For example, the computing box is pre-set with an autonomous driving algorithm, which includes functional modules such as environmental perception, path planning, and decision control. The computing box can provide computing resources corresponding to the autonomous driving algorithm, and perform tasks such as environmental perception, path planning, and decision control when there is a demand from the control system.

[0054] For example, the computing box is pre-installed with artificial intelligence models, such as deep neural networks, which can be used to perform tasks such as image recognition and speech recognition.

[0055] For example, the computing box is pre-installed with data processing and analysis tools that can support big data analysis, machine learning, and perform real-time data analysis and fault prediction.

[0056] For example, the computing box is pre-installed with an edge computing management unit, which can be responsible for task scheduling, resource allocation, and communication management.

[0057] The present disclosure also provides an embodiment of a processing method executed by a control system of a computing box mounted on a connected carrier.

[0058] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the processing method is executed by a control system, and the control system needs to be connected to a computing box carried by a vehicle in any of the above embodiments. The computing box carried by the vehicle can provide additional computing resources to the control system, and the control system refers to the electronic equipment and technical systems installed on the vehicle, including but not limited to infotainment systems, driver assistance systems, communication systems, control systems, intelligent network systems, and autonomous driving technology and other technical systems.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the method includes:

[0060] In step S201, the usage of computing resources of the computing box is determined;

[0061] In step S202, the first computing task is allocated to the computing box according to the usage of the computing resources and / or the type of the task to be allocated, so that the first computing task is processed by the processing module of the computing box;

[0062] In step S203, the processing result of executing the first computing task returned by the computing box is received.

[0063] In some embodiments, after the control system is connected to the computing box, the usage of the computing resources of the computing box carried by the vehicle can be determined.

[0064] The control system can monitor the usage of computing resources of itself and the computing box, where computing resources include but are not limited to CPU or GPU load, memory usage, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first computing task is assigned to the computing box according to the usage of the computing resources and / or the type of the task to be assigned, so that the first computing task is processed by the processing module of the computing box.

[0066] After receiving a new computing task, the control system can identify the type of the new computing task and determine the computing task's demand for computing resources and priority order.

[0067] When it is determined that the type of the new computing task belongs to the type of task to be assigned, the first computing task can be assigned to the computing box carried by the vehicle; and / or, when the computing task's requirement for computing resources is determined and the computing resources of the computing box support the execution of the new computing task, the computing task can be assigned to the computing box carried by the vehicle.

[0068] In fact, in addition to assigning new computing tasks to the computing boxes carried by the vehicle, the control system can also assign computing tasks to itself for execution. By assigning the execution location of computing tasks, the efficiency of executing computing tasks can be improved.

[0069] In some embodiments, the control system may assign computing tasks with higher computing resource requirements to the computing box, and assign computing tasks with lower computing resource requirements to itself.

[0070] Assign computing tasks with higher computing resource requirements to the computing box to make full use of the computing resources provided by the computing box, and assign computing tasks with lower computing resource requirements to itself to reduce the burden on the control system itself, so that the control system can have a better response speed.

[0071] In some embodiments, the control system can also dynamically allocate computing tasks based on the resource usage of the control system and the computing boxes carried by the vehicle. Specifically, the computing tasks are allocated to the control system and the computing boxes carried by the vehicle that have a higher proportion of idle computing resources.

[0072] Dynamically allocating computing tasks can avoid the situation where computing resources on one side of the control system and the computing box are fully occupied while computing resources on the other side are relatively idle, resulting in uneven allocation and failure to properly utilize all computing resources. Using the method of this embodiment, computing tasks can be reasonably allocated.

[0073] For example, after the control system generates the first computing task, it monitors that the idle computing resources of the control system account for 40%, while the idle computing resources of the computing box account for 45%, then the first computing task will be assigned to the computing box with a higher proportion of idle computing resources, so that the computing box can execute the first computing task.

[0074] In some embodiments, allocating the first computing task to the computing box based on usage of the computing resources includes: allocating the first computing task to the computing box if idle computing resources of the computing box support processing of the first computing task.

[0075] Alternatively, when the idle computing resources of the computing box carried by the vehicle are sufficient to support processing of the first computing task, the first computing task may be preferentially allocated to the computing box carried by the vehicle.

[0076] Since the computing box on the vehicle is dedicated to providing computing resources for the control system, its function is relatively simple compared to the control system, and the computing resources can be fully used to perform computing tasks. In addition to performing computing tasks, the computing resources of the control system are also used to control the vehicle. Therefore, if the computing resources of the control system are occupied too much, it may affect the response speed of the control system and affect the control system's control of the vehicle.

[0077] In some embodiments, a processing result of executing the first computing task is received and returned by the computing box.

[0078] After receiving the first computing task, the computing box can execute the first computing task through the processing module, and return the processing result of executing the first computing task to the control system. After receiving the processing result, the control system performs corresponding actions according to the processing result. For example, the processing result of the received autonomous driving task determines acceleration or deceleration.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control system can assign the first computing task to the computing box carried by the vehicle, so as to use the computing resources of the computing box carried by the vehicle to execute the first computing task, thereby breaking through the hardware bottleneck of the control system itself, being able to execute the first computing task more efficiently, and making full use of the computing resources of the computing box carried by the vehicle to reduce the burden on the control system.

[0080] In some embodiments, the method further includes: obtaining the software stored in the computing box; installing the software if the control system does not contain the software; and updating the version of the software in the control system according to the software in the computing box if the control system contains the software.

[0081] The computing box carried by the vehicle can be pre-installed with software. However, if the computing box carried by the vehicle is to execute the corresponding software, it may be necessary to build the necessary system environment for the software, which is relatively costly and complicated to operate. Therefore, it is possible to choose not to execute the software in the computing box carried by the vehicle. The computing box carried by the vehicle does not contain the system environment, but only provides computing resources for the control system.

[0082] Specifically, after the control system establishes a connection with the computing box carried by the vehicle, the control system can obtain the software in the computing box carried by the vehicle. If the control system does not contain the software, the obtained software is installed in the control system; if the control system contains the software, if the version of the obtained software is newer than the version of the software in the control system, the version of the software in the control system is updated.

[0083] Since the control system itself has a system environment, the adapted software can run on the control system. The software preset in the computing box can be executed on the control system by installing it on the control system or updating the corresponding version. In this embodiment, the control system obtains the software through a physical connection with the computing box. Compared with the OTA method, the control system does not need to be connected to the network, and the transmission speed is faster, the efficiency is higher, and the stability is stronger.

[0084] In some embodiments, the method further includes: acquiring first data required for the first computing task; and sending the first data to the computing box when the first computing task is assigned to the computing box.

[0085] The control system can collect the first data through the vehicle-mounted sensor (such as an image acquisition device, a radar, etc.), and transmit the collected first data to the edge computing management unit through the vehicle-mounted network. The edge computing management unit can determine the allocation result of the first computing task corresponding to the first data, and send the first data to the device that performs the first computing task. For example, if the first computing task is assigned to the computing box, the edge computing management unit will send the acquired first data to the computing box; if the first computing task is assigned to the control system, the edge computing management unit will retain the acquired first data in the control system for processing by the control system.

[0086] When the first computing task is assigned to the computing box, the first data is sent to the computing box, and the computing box performs the first computing task according to the first data to determine the processing result. After determining the processing result, the computing box can return the processing result to the edge computing management unit, and the edge computing management unit will then send the processing result to the execution system related to the first computing task (such as an autonomous driving control unit, an infotainment unit, etc.).

[0087] In some embodiments, the edge computing management unit is used to allocate computing tasks.

[0088] The edge computing management unit can distribute computing tasks to the control system, computing boxes carried by connected vehicles, and cloud servers.

[0089] Since the process of interaction with the cloud server is relatively complicated, the speed of data transmission to the cloud server through the network is slow and the stability is not high. Therefore, if the computing resources of the control system and the computing box carried by the vehicle are sufficient, the computing tasks can be allocated to the cloud server without being assigned to the cloud server to improve the execution efficiency of the computing tasks.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first data that can be received by the computing box carried by the vehicle includes but is not limited to: sensor data, vehicle status data, and instructions input by the user.

[0091] Sensor data includes image data collected by image acquisition devices, radar signals collected by radars, point clouds determined by lidars, etc.

[0092] The vehicle status data includes the vehicle's driving speed, the vehicle's acceleration, the steering angle of the steering wheel, etc.

[0093] The commands input by the user include voice commands, touch screen operations, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the type of task to be assigned includes at least one of the following: computing tasks that need to be sent to a cloud server for processing; computing tasks that do not need to be sent to a cloud server for processing; computing tasks that require computing resources greater than a first threshold.

[0095] When the computing box is not connected, some computing tasks, such as data processing tasks, require the integration of a large amount of data for analysis, which consumes relatively high resources. The control system may not be able to perform the task well, and the task will be sent to the cloud server for processing.

[0096] However, after the computing box is connected, since the computing box provides additional computing resources, the control system can use the computing box to execute computing tasks that were not previously supported. Therefore, the first computing task sent to the computing box may include computing tasks that need to be sent to the cloud server for processing, computing tasks that do not need to be sent to the cloud server for processing, or computing tasks that are determined to require computing resources greater than a first threshold.

[0097] Specifically, the first computing task assigned to the computing box may include environmental perception tasks, path planning tasks, decision control tasks, speech recognition and natural language processing tasks.

[0098] Environmental perception tasks require identifying roads, vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs, etc. in the vehicle's environment to provide necessary support for autonomous driving or navigation.

[0099] Path planning tasks can plan the driving route based on algorithms according to the vehicle's environment and the set target location.

[0100] Decision-making and control tasks can generate control instructions for the vehicle to instruct the vehicle to perform actions such as acceleration, braking, and steering.

[0101] Speech recognition and natural language processing tasks can understand the voice commands input by the user and provide corresponding responses based on the voice commands. For example, if the user inputs the voice command "turn on the air conditioner", it is necessary to generate a control command for the air conditioner based on the voice command to control the air conditioner in the car to turn on.

[0102] In some embodiments, allocating the first computing task to the computing box according to the type of the task to be assigned includes: when the type of the task to be assigned is a computing task that needs to be sent to a cloud server for processing and / or a computing task that needs to use computing resources greater than a first threshold, allocating the first computing task to the computing box.

[0103] After the control system determines the new computing task type, it can determine to allocate the new computing task to the computing box or control system carried by the vehicle according to the new task type. Among them, if the new computing task type is "computing task that needs to be sent to the cloud server for processing" and / or "computing task that requires computing resources greater than the first threshold", it means that the control system of the new computing task may not have the corresponding processing capacity, or the control system is burdened with processing the new computing task. In this case, the new computing task can be allocated to the computing box carried by the vehicle to use the computing resources of the computing box carried by the vehicle to perform the computing task.

[0104] In some embodiments, the processing result output by the computing box includes at least one of the following: control instructions, information feedback.

[0105] The control instructions determined by the computing box when executing the computing task can be sent to the vehicle control system, which then executes the control instructions to achieve specific operations such as driving and turning on the lights.

[0106] The computing box can also feed back the information determined by executing the computing task to the control system, which can be provided to the infotainment system for broadcasting via voice or displaying on the screen.

[0107] The following is a brief description using three specific computing tasks as examples.

[0108] The control system generates an autonomous driving task, which is assigned to the computing box. The control system sends environmental data collected by sensors such as image acquisition devices and radars to the computing box. After the computing box obtains the environmental data, it runs a deep learning model to detect and identify objects to execute the computing task. The computing box determines a safe driving route based on the results of object detection and identification, generates control instructions such as acceleration, braking, and steering based on the safe driving route, and sends the control instructions to the vehicle control system to achieve corresponding control.

[0109] The microphone of the control system receives the user's voice command, and the control system generates a voice recognition task. The voice recognition task is assigned to the computing box, which performs voice recognition and natural language understanding based on the sound data collected by the microphone. Based on the results of voice recognition and natural language understanding, the corresponding control instructions are generated, and the vehicle control system is instructed to perform corresponding operations, such as navigation settings, music playback, turning on the air conditioner, etc.

[0110] The control system has the task requirements of real-time data analysis and fault prediction, and this computing task is assigned to the computing box. The control system can continuously collect the vehicle's operating data (such as engine temperature, oil pressure, etc.) and send the collected operating data to the computing box. The computing box can run a machine learning algorithm to analyze the data change trend based on the received operating data. When it is detected that the data may be abnormal (for example, the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the temperature threshold), the possible fault cause of the data abnormality is predicted, and a fault warning is issued to the user, prompting the user to inspect or maintain the vehicle.

[0111] Corresponding to the embodiments of the processing method of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides embodiments of corresponding processing devices.
