[0048] 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.

[0049] In order to meet the needs of users for riding comfort, more and more vehicles are equipped with tables for users to place things and work. The tables on vehicles are usually foldable. When users need to place things, they can unfold the table to make it horizontal; when users do not need to place things, they can fold the table to increase the space for activities in the car.

[0050] In the related art, the folding and unfolding control of the table board can be realized by the user manually pushing the table board to change its position, or by connecting the table board to a motor and controlling the rotation of the motor to drive the table board to fold and unfold. However, the solutions in the related art all require the user to have the subjective intention to fold the table board, which makes the user often unable to retract the table board in time when getting off the bus, thereby affecting the user's convenience when getting on the bus next time and reducing the user experience of the table board.

[0051] Based on this, in order to solve the problem of how to improve the user experience of the table board, the present application provides a control method, system, storage medium and vehicle for a table board assembly, which responds to the triggering of a door opening signal, collects the occupant riding information of the target table and chair, and obtains the status of the target table board assembly. When the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, the table board assembly is controlled to be folded. When the present application determines that the user is about to get on or off the vehicle through the door opening signal, it actively determines the status of the target table board assembly, and when the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, it controls the target table board assembly to be folded, so that the vehicle can automatically fold the table board without the user manually controlling the folding of the table board, thereby avoiding the unfolded table board from hindering the user's actions during the boarding process, thereby improving the user experience of the table board. The specific method is as follows:

[0052] The first aspect of the present application proposes an embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the step diagram of a control method of a table top assembly, the method is applied to a vehicle controller, and the main steps include:

[0053] Step S101, in response to a door opening signal, collecting passenger seating information on some or all of the target seats among the plurality of seats. The passenger seating information is used to indicate whether there is a passenger sitting on the target seat.

[0054] The table board assembly refers to a component on the vehicle that has a storage function, and at least includes a table board. The table board assembly includes an unfolded state and a folded state. When in the unfolded state, the table board assembly occupies part of the seat's seating space; when in the folded state, the table board assembly does not occupy the seat's seating space. The seat's seating space refers to the space within the occupant's range of movement in front of the occupant when the occupant is sitting on the seat.

[0055] The door opening signal may be a signal sent by a door sensor on the vehicle. When the door sensor detects that the door is in the open position, a signal corresponding to the open position may be sent to the vehicle-mounted sensor as a door opening signal. When the vehicle-mounted controller receives the door opening signal, it indicates that there are passengers inside the vehicle who intend to get off the vehicle, or there are people outside the vehicle who want to get on the vehicle. At this time, the passenger information on the target seat may be obtained to determine whether there is an occupant on the target seat, and then determine whether it is necessary to collect the status of the target table board assembly, or when to collect the status of the target table board assembly. Among them, the target table and chair may be all seats among a plurality of seats, or may be some seats among a plurality of seats that are provided with table board assemblies.

[0056] Step S102, based on the passenger riding information of the target seat, the state of the target table assembly is obtained. The target table assembly includes a table assembly that occupies part of the riding space of the target seat in an unfolded state.

[0057] The passenger seating information is used to indicate whether there is an occupant on the target seat. Different occupant seating information of the target seat indicates that the vehicle has different requirements for the state of the target table assembly. If the occupant seating information indicates that there is an occupant on the target seat, it indicates that the vehicle needs the target table assembly to be in an expanded state to meet the occupant's storage needs; if the occupant seating information indicates that there is no occupant on the target seat, it indicates that the target table assembly no longer needs to provide storage function for the occupant and should be in a retracted state. Therefore, the state of the target table assembly can be obtained based on the occupant seating information of the target seat, thereby determining the target table assembly that no longer needs to provide storage function for the occupant.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, when the passenger seating information indicates that there is a passenger sitting in the target seat, the state of the target table assembly may not be obtained; when the passenger seating information indicates that there is no passenger sitting in the target seat, the state of the target table assembly may be obtained.

[0059] Step S103, when the target table top assembly is in the unfolded state, controlling the target table top assembly to be in the folded state.

[0060] When the target table assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table assembly that occupies part of the seating space of the target seat will hinder the passenger's activities when the passenger gets on the vehicle next time. Therefore, when the target table assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table assembly should be controlled to be folded.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the table top assembly can be connected to a motor, and the motor can be controlled to rotate by a vehicle-mounted controller so that the motor drives the table top assembly to be folded, so that the target table top assembly is moved outside the seating space of the target seat.

[0062] When the target table board assembly is in the retracted state, the target table board assembly does not occupy the seating space of the target seat, so there is no need to control the target table board in the retracted state.

[0063] In response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the present application collects the occupant riding information of the target table and chair, and obtains the status of the target table board assembly. When the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, the table board assembly is controlled to be folded. When the present application determines that the user is about to get on or off the vehicle through the door opening signal, it actively determines the status of the target table board assembly, and when the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table board assembly is controlled to be folded, so that the vehicle can automatically fold the table board without the user manually controlling the folding of the table board, thereby avoiding the unfolded table board from hindering the user's actions during the boarding process, and improving the user experience of the table board.

[0064] In another embodiment of the present application, in addition to the steps in the above-mentioned embodiment, the following steps are also included:

[0065] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 As shown in the step diagram of a method for collecting passenger seating information, the step S101 of collecting passenger seating information on some or all of the target seats among the plurality of seats includes:

[0066] Step S1011, based on the door opening signal, determining a target door corresponding to the door opening signal.

[0067] In order to reduce the energy consumed by the vehicle in collecting passenger information and improve the energy efficiency of the vehicle, the target seat that is most likely to have no passengers can be determined through the door opening signal, and the passenger information of the target seat can be collected.

[0068] When the door sensor detects that the door is open, the onboard controller can determine the target door to be opened through the door opening signal transmitted by the door sensor. Generally speaking, when getting off the vehicle, the passenger will open the door closest to themselves and get off from the door closest to themselves. From this, it can be inferred that the passenger in the target seat closest to the opened target door is most likely to get off the vehicle. Therefore, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle, the target door corresponding to the door opening signal should be determined based on the door opening signal.

[0069] Step S1012, collecting passenger information of a target seat close to the target door.

[0070] From the analysis in the above step S1021, it can be known that the occupant of the target seat closest to the opened target door is most likely to get off the vehicle, so the riding information of the occupant of the target seat close to the target door should be collected.

[0071] Optionally, the state of the target table assembly is obtained based on the passenger riding information of the target seat in step S102, including the following two cases:

[0072] In case one, when the passenger seating information indicates that there is no passenger seated in the target seat, the state of the target table panel assembly is obtained.

[0073] When the passenger seat information indicates that there is no passenger in the target seat, the target table assembly no longer needs to provide a storage function for the passenger. At this time, the state of the target table assembly can be directly obtained, and then according to the state of the target table assembly, it is determined whether the target table assembly needs to be controlled to be folded, and when the target table assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table assembly is controlled to be folded.

[0074] In case two, when the passenger seating information indicates that there is a passenger seated in the target seat, it is identified whether the passenger on the target seat intends to get off the vehicle, and when the passenger on the target seat intends to get off the vehicle, the state of the target table board assembly is obtained.

[0075] When the passenger seating information indicates that there is a passenger sitting on the target seat, it means that there is a passenger sitting on the target seat at the time of collecting the passenger seating information, but it is impossible to determine whether the passenger has left the vehicle after the collection time. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the control of the table board assembly, when it is determined that there is a passenger sitting on the target seat based on the passenger seating information, the passenger's intention to get off the vehicle should be further identified, and when it is identified that the passenger on the target seat has the intention to get off the vehicle, it is determined that the target table board assembly no longer needs to provide the passenger with a storage function.

[0076] Furthermore, when it is identified that the target table board assembly no longer needs to provide storage function for the occupants, the state of the target table board assembly is obtained to determine whether it is necessary to control the target table board assembly to be folded according to the state of the target table board assembly, and when the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table board assembly is controlled to be folded.

[0077] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown in the step diagram of a method for identifying the intention of an occupant to get off the vehicle, the step S102 in the second case of identifying whether the occupant on the target seat has the intention to get off the vehicle includes:

[0078] Step S11, collecting an image of the occupant at the target seat.

[0079] The occupant image at the target seat refers to an image containing the occupant at the target seat, which can be collected by a camera. In an optional implementation, the camera can be installed on the roof of the vehicle to obtain the largest collection range.

[0080] Step S12: determining whether the occupant of the target seat has a first target action based on the occupant image. The first target action indicates that the occupant moves toward a vehicle door.

[0081] After acquiring the occupant image, image processing is performed on the occupant image to determine whether the occupant in the target seat has a first target action, wherein the first target action indicates that the occupant is moving toward a door.

[0082] For example, the images of the occupant at a first moment and a second moment after the first moment may be captured respectively. If the images of the occupant at the first moment and the images of the occupant at the second moment indicate that the occupant is displaced between the first moment and the second moment, and the direction of the displacement points to the door, then it is considered that the occupant has the first target action. Alternatively, the images of the occupant at the target moment are captured. If the images of the occupant at the target moment indicate that the inclination angle of the occupant's body toward the door is greater than a preset angle, then it is considered that the occupant has the first target action.

[0083] Step S13: If the occupant of the target seat has the first target action, it is determined that the occupant of the target seat has the intention to get off the vehicle.

[0084] If the occupant of the target seat has the first target action, it means that the occupant of the target seat is moving towards the door, and thus it can be determined that the occupant of the target seat has the intention to get off the vehicle.

[0085] When it is determined based on the passenger image that the passenger on the target seat intends to get off the vehicle, it indicates that the target table assembly no longer needs to provide a storage function for the passenger and should be in a retracted state. At this time, the state of the target table assembly can be obtained, and according to the state of the target table assembly, it is determined whether the target table assembly needs to be retracted, so that when the target table assembly is in an unfolded state, the target table assembly is controlled to be retracted, and then when the passenger intends to get off the vehicle, the table assembly is retracted in time to avoid the table assembly hindering the passenger's actions when the passenger gets off the vehicle.

[0086] Among them, when the target seat is not occupied by an occupant, it can be identified whether a user wants to sit in the target seat, that is, whether a user enters the target seat from the door. If a user wants to sit in the target seat, the table board assembly in the unfolded state can also be folded to provide convenience for the user to get on the bus.

[0087] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 A method step diagram for obtaining the state of a target table panel assembly is shown, wherein the state of the target table panel assembly is obtained based on the passenger riding information of the target seat in step S102, and further includes:

[0088] Step S21, when the passenger seat information indicates that there is no passenger seated in the target seat, an environment image at the vehicle door is acquired. The environment image includes images of the inner and outer areas of the vehicle door.

[0089] Taking into account the complexity of various situations in real life, under the premise of not affecting the use of the table board, in order to further improve the control accuracy of the table board assembly, it is also possible to determine whether there is a person who will sit in the target seat when the occupant information indicates that there is no occupant in the target seat, and then, when the user gets on the bus, the table board assembly that was not folded when getting off the bus last time can be folded in time.

[0090] When the occupant seating information indicates that the target seat is not occupied by an occupant, an environmental image at the vehicle door is obtained, wherein the environmental image should include images of the inner and outer areas of the vehicle door. The environmental image can be collected separately by a camera arranged on the outer side of the vehicle and a camera arranged on the inner side of the vehicle, or uniformly collected by a camera arranged on the door frame.

[0091] Step S22: determining whether there is a person with a second target action at the vehicle door based on the environment image. The second target action represents that the person enters the inner side of the vehicle door from the outer side of the vehicle door.

[0092] After acquiring the environment image, the environment image is processed to obtain the image of the person, and the person's action is analyzed based on the image of the person, and then it is determined whether there is a person with a second target action at the door, where the second target action represents the person entering the inside of the door from the outside of the door.

[0093] In an optional implementation, the person's movements can be continuously tracked, and the person's movement tendency within a preset period of time can be analyzed to determine whether the person has the second target movement. Alternatively, environmental images at two moments can be captured respectively, and the person's displacement at the two moments can be analyzed to determine whether the person has the second target movement.

[0094] Step S23, when there is a person with the second target action at the vehicle door, the state of the target table top assembly is obtained.

[0095] When there is a person with the second target action at the door, it indicates that the target seat will be occupied. At this time, in order to avoid the unfolded table board hindering the movement of the person getting on the vehicle, the state of the target table board assembly should be obtained, and when the target table board assembly is in the unfolded state, the target table board assembly should be promptly controlled to be retracted.

[0096] Optionally, the table top assembly includes a table top and a display panel, and when the target table top assembly is in an unfolded state, controlling the target table top assembly to be in a folded state in step S103 includes:

[0097] When at least one of the table top and the display panel of the target table top assembly is in an unfolded state, the target table top assembly is controlled to be in a folded state.

[0098] The display panel refers to a display device with a display function, which can be used by passengers for entertainment activities such as watching videos. When the table board assembly includes a table board and a display panel, if at least one of the target table board of the target table board assembly and the display panel of the target table board assembly is in an unfolded state, the target table board or the display panel of the target table board assembly in the unfolded state should be controlled to be retracted, thereby causing the target table board assembly to be retracted.

[0099] Specifically, when the display panel of the target table board assembly is in the expanded state and the table board of the target table board assembly is in the retracted state, the display panel of the target table board assembly is controlled to be in the retracted state. When the display panel of the target table board assembly is in the retracted state and the table board of the target table board assembly is in the expanded state, the table board of the target table board assembly is controlled to be retracted. When both the display panel of the target table board assembly and the table board of the target table board assembly are in the expanded state, the display panel of the target table board assembly and the table board of the target table board assembly are controlled to be retracted.

[0100] Optionally, the table top and the display panel are rotatably connected to the fixing part respectively;

[0101] When the table top and the display panel are both in a retracted state, the display panel is located between the table top and the fixing portion.

[0102] In the above step S103, when at least one of the table top and the display panel of the target table top assembly is in the unfolded state, controlling the target table top assembly to be in the folded state includes the following two situations:

[0103] In case one, when the display panel of the target table top assembly is in a retracted state, the table top of the target table top assembly is controlled to be in a retracted state.

[0104] refer to Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first display panel and the table top is shown, Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first display panel and the table top is shown, Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of the third display panel and the table top is shown in FIG. Figure 5 The display panel and table top are both in the retracted state. Figure 6 The display panel is in the folded state, and the table top is in the unfolded state. Figure 7 The display panel and the table top are both in the unfolded state.

[0105] The table board assembly includes a table board and a display panel, and the table board and the display panel are rotatably connected to the fixed part respectively. The fixed part can be the backrest of the seat or the instrument panel of the vehicle. For example, taking a five-seat passenger car as an example, the fixed part of the table board assembly used by the rear seat passengers can be the backrest of the front driver's seat or the backrest of the co-pilot's seat located on the side of the rear seat close to the front of the vehicle. The fixed part of the table board assembly used by the co-pilot seat passenger can be the instrument panel.

[0106] Since the use frequency of the display panel is lower than that of the table top, and the probability of the display panel being damaged is also greater than the probability of the table top being damaged, when both the display panel and the table top are in the retracted state, the display panel can be located between the table top and the fixing portion, and a protective cavity for protecting the display panel is formed by the table top and the fixing portion, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the display panel. Based on this, when the display panel of the target table top assembly is in the retracted state, the table top of the target table top assembly should be controlled to be in the retracted state, so that the display panel of the target table top assembly is located between the table top and the fixing portion.

[0107] In case 2, when the display panel of the target table board assembly is in the expanded state, after controlling the display panel of the target table board assembly to be in the retracted state, the table board of the target table board assembly is then controlled to be in the retracted state.

[0108] When the display panel of the target table board assembly is in an unfolded state, in order to form a protective cavity for protecting the display panel of the target table board assembly with the fixing part after the table board of the target table board assembly is folded, and at the same time the display panel of the target table board assembly is located in the protective cavity, the display panel of the target table board assembly should be controlled to be in a folded state first, and then the table board of the target table board assembly should be controlled to be in a folded state.
