[0053] 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.

[0054] With the development of intelligent vehicles, in order to meet the needs of users for riding comfort, more and more vehicles are equipped with automatically unfolded and folded table assemblies for users to place items. However, in the related art, since items may be placed on the storage surface of the table or the area between the table and the backrest, there is a risk of squeezing or overturning the items during the automatic folding process of the table, which causes safety hazards during the use of the table.

[0055] Based on this, in order to solve the problem of how to eliminate the potential safety hazards of the table top assembly during use, the present application provides a table top assembly control method, system, storage medium and vehicle. In response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the present application collects the status of each table top assembly and the occupant usage information, and determines the target table top assembly that is in the unfolded state and to be folded based on the status and the occupant usage information. Subsequently, the obstacle information of the target table top assembly is collected, and based on the obstacle information, it is determined whether to perform a folding action on the target table top assembly. If not, an alarm message for the target table top assembly is output to prompt the user to remove the obstacle. Before controlling the automatic folding of the table top assembly, the present application first identifies the obstacles that hinder the folding of the target table top assembly based on the obstacle information, and then prompts the user to remove the obstacles through the alarm message, thereby ensuring that the table top will not overturn or squeeze the objects during the automatic folding process, thereby eliminating the potential safety hazards of the table top during use. The specific method is as follows:

[0056] The first aspect of the present application proposes an embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the step diagram of a table board component control method, the method is applied to a vehicle, specifically to an on-board controller, the vehicle includes a plurality of table board components, the states of the table board components include an unfolded state and a folded state, in the unfolded state the table board components are unfolded on one side of the seat back, and in the folded state the table board components are folded on one side of the seat back. The main steps include:

[0057] Step S101, in response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the status of each table board assembly and the passenger use information are collected. The passenger use information is used to indicate whether the table board assembly needs to be used by the passenger after the current moment.

[0058] 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 is set on the seat back, and includes two states: an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the table board assembly is unfolded on one side of the seat back; in the folded state, the table board assembly is folded on one side of the seat back.

[0059] The door opening signal can be collected by a door sensor installed at the door. The door sensor is a sensor that detects the door position and is connected to the vehicle controller. When the door sensor detects that the door position is at a preset position corresponding to the door opening, the door opening signal is sent to the vehicle controller, so that the vehicle controller responds to the door opening signal and collects the status of each table board component and the occupant usage information.

[0060] Step S102, based on the state of the table top assembly and the occupant usage information, determine the target table top assembly that is in the unfolded state and to be folded.

[0061] The passenger use information is used to indicate whether the table top assembly needs to be used by the passenger after the current moment. When the passenger use information indicates that the table top assembly does not need to be used by the passenger after the current moment, the table top assembly is determined to be a table top assembly to be folded. When the passenger use information indicates that the table top assembly needs to be used by the passenger after the current moment, the table top assembly is determined to be a table top assembly not to be folded.

[0062] The target table board assembly is a table board assembly that is in an unfolded state and is to be folded. To prevent the target table board assembly from hindering the movement of passengers when they get on the vehicle, when the target table board assembly is in an unfolded state and is to be folded, it indicates that the target table board assembly should be controlled to be automatically folded, so that the target table board assembly is in a folded state after the user gets off the vehicle. At this time, to avoid potential safety hazards caused by the target table board assembly, it should be further determined whether the target table board assembly has the risk of squeezing or overturning objects during the folding process.

[0063] Step S103, collecting obstacle information of the target table top assembly.

[0064] Obstacle information is used to determine whether there are obstacles that prevent the target table board assembly from being folded. Obstacle information can be obtained in a variety of ways, such as by collecting environmental images around the target table board through a camera installed in the cab, and analyzing the collected environmental images to determine whether there are obstacles that prevent the target table board from being folded. Alternatively, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver are installed on both sides of the table board, and by judging whether the infrared receiver receives infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter, it is determined whether there are obstacles that prevent the target table board assembly from being folded.

[0065] Step S104: Based on the obstacle information, determine whether to perform a folding action on the target table top component.

[0066] When there is an obstacle that prevents the target table board assembly from being folded, it indicates that the table board assembly will cause a risk of squeezing or overturning the items during the automatic folding process, so the folding action is not performed on the target table board. When there is no obstacle that prevents the table board assembly from being folded, it indicates that the table board assembly will not cause a risk of squeezing or overturning the items during the automatic folding process, so the folding action is performed on the target table board.

[0067] When the folding action is performed on the target table top, the process proceeds to step S105; when the folding action is not performed on the target table top, the process proceeds to step S106.

[0068] Step S105: If yes, control the target table top assembly to be in the retracted state.

[0069] If the target table top assembly is retracted, the target table top assembly is controlled to be in a retracted state. In an optional embodiment, a control signal may be sent to a motor that drives the target table top assembly to retract, so that the motor drives the target table top assembly to move toward the back of the chair, thereby placing the target table top assembly in a retracted state.

[0070] Step S106: If not, output a warning message for the target table top component, and the warning message is used to prompt the removal of the obstacle.

[0071] If the target table board component is not folded, a warning message for the target table board component is output to prompt the user to remove the obstacle. Specifically, the vehicle controller should send a warning message for the target table board component to the user, prompting the user that there is currently an obstacle that prevents the target table board component from being folded, and prompting the user to remove the obstacle as soon as possible.

[0072] In an optional implementation, the warning information can be issued in the form of voice, image or warning light. For example, the vehicle controller controls the speaker to issue a voice prompting the user that a certain tabletop component cannot be folded. Alternatively, warning lights are installed around the tabletop component, and when there is an obstacle that prevents the target tabletop component from being folded, the color of the warning light closest to the target tabletop component is switched to red.

[0073] In response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the present application collects the status of each table top component and the passenger usage information, and determines the target table top component that is in the unfolded state and to be folded based on the status and the passenger usage information. Subsequently, the obstacle information of the target table top component is collected, and based on the obstacle information, it is determined whether to perform the folding action on the target table top component. If not, an alarm message for the target table top component is output to prompt the user to remove the obstacle. Before controlling the automatic folding of the table top component, the present application first identifies the obstacles that hinder the folding of the target table top component based on the obstacle information, and then prompts the user to remove the obstacles through the alarm message, thereby ensuring that the table top will not overturn or squeeze objects during the automatic folding process, eliminating the safety hazards of the table top during use.

[0074] In another embodiment of the present application, in addition to the steps in the above-mentioned embodiment, the following steps are also included:

[0075] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 Another method for controlling a table top assembly is shown in the step diagram. In addition to steps 101 to 106 described in the first aspect of the embodiment, after step S106, the method further includes:

[0076] Step S107, cyclically collecting obstacle information of the target table top assembly.

[0077] After the warning information is issued, obstacle information is cyclically collected for the target table top component that is currently in the unfolded state, so as to determine whether the obstacle that prevents the target table top component from being folded has been removed by the user.

[0078] Step S108, when the currently collected obstacle information indicates that there is no obstacle that prevents the target table top assembly from being folded, controlling the target table top assembly to be in the folded state.

[0079] When the currently collected obstacles indicate that there is no obstacle that prevents the target table board assembly from being folded, it indicates that the obstacle that prevents the target table board assembly from being folded has been removed by the user, and the safety hazard of the target table board assembly has been eliminated. At this time, the target table board assembly can be controlled to be in a folded state, thereby ensuring that the target table board assembly is in a folded state after the passenger gets off the vehicle or before getting on the vehicle.

[0080] Optionally, the table board assembly includes a table board and a screen, and when the table board and the screen are both in the retracted state, the screen is located between the table board and the seat back. The passenger use information includes passenger riding information, and the passenger riding information is used to indicate whether a seat corresponding to the table board assembly is occupied by a passenger, wherein the seat corresponding to the table board assembly refers to the seat to which the riding space occupied by the table board assembly belongs.

[0081] refer to Figure 3 A method step diagram for determining a target table top component is shown, step S102 includes:

[0082] Step S1021, determining whether the state of the table assembly and the passenger usage information meet preset conditions, wherein the preset conditions include that the screen is in the retracted state, the table is in the unfolded state, and the passenger seating information indicates that no passenger is seated in the seat corresponding to the table assembly.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first screen and table top is shown. Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure of the second screen and table top is shown. Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the third screen and table top is shown. Figure 4 The screen and table top are both folded up. Figure 5 The screen is folded and the table top is unfolded. Figure 6 The screen and desktop are both in the unfolded state.

[0084] The seat corresponding to the table board assembly refers to the seat belonging to the part of the passenger space occupied by the table and chair assembly. For example, in a left-hand drive five-seat passenger car, the seat corresponding to the table board assembly set on the back of the front passenger seat is the seat located in the rear seat near the right door, and the seat corresponding to the table board assembly set on the back of the main driver's seat is the seat located in the rear seat near the left door.

[0085] In an optional implementation, the state of the screen may be determined by a position sensor disposed on the screen. When the position sensor detects that the screen is at a preset position corresponding to the retracted state, the screen is determined to be in the retracted state; when the position sensor detects that the screen is at a preset position corresponding to the extended state, the screen is determined to be in the extended state.

[0086] Since the screen is usually easy to be damaged, in order to reduce the chance of screen damage, the screen is placed between the table top and the seat back when both the screen and the table top are in the retracted state. Based on this, in order to effectively protect the screen, the table top assembly should be determined as the target table top assembly when the screen is in the retracted state, the table top is in the unfolded state, and the passenger seating information indicates that the seat corresponding to the table top assembly is not occupied by an occupant.

[0087] Step S1022: When the state of the table top assembly and the occupant usage information meet the preset conditions, determine that the table top assembly is the target table top assembly.

[0088] When the table board assembly meets the preset conditions, it indicates that the table board is in the unfolded state and can be objectively folded. At the same time, there is no passenger on the table board assembly, that is, the table board assembly will not be used by the passenger after the current moment, and subjectively meets the folding condition. Furthermore, the screen is in the folded state, and the table board can protect the screen after being folded.

[0089] In summary, when the status of the table top assembly and the occupant usage information meet the preset conditions, the table top assembly should be determined as the target table top assembly, and then based on the obstacle information of the target table top assembly, it is determined whether to perform a folding action on the table top.

[0090] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 The step diagram of a method for obtaining information based on a door opening signal is shown, in step S101, in response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the status of each table board component and the passenger use information are collected, including:

[0091] Step S1011, based on the door opening signal, determining a target door corresponding to the door opening signal.

[0092] In order to reduce the energy consumed by the vehicle in collecting passenger information and improve the vehicle's energy efficiency, the door opening signal can be used to determine the table board component that is most likely to be automatically folded, and information can be collected from the table board component that is most likely to be automatically folded.

[0093] 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 deduced that the passenger closest to the target door to be opened is most likely to get off the vehicle, that is, the table board component closest to the target door is most likely not to be used by the passenger after the current moment. 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.

[0094] Step S1012, collecting the status of the table board assembly close to the target door and the passenger usage information.

[0095] From the analysis in the above step S1011, it can be seen that the table top assembly closest to the target door is most likely not to be used by the occupant after the current moment, so the occupant usage information and status of the table top assembly close to the target door should be collected.

[0096] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 A method step diagram for obtaining obstacle information is shown, wherein the step S103 of collecting the obstacle information of the target table top component includes:

[0097] Step S11, obtaining image information of the target table top assembly, wherein the image information includes an image of the storage surface of the target table top assembly and an image located on the folding path of the target table top assembly.

[0098] The image information of the target table top assembly can be collected by a camera installed on the roof of the cab. The image information should at least include the image of the storage surface of the target table top assembly and the image of the folding path of the target table top assembly. Based on the image of the storage surface of the target table top assembly, it can be determined whether there is a risk of overturning the items, and based on the image of the folding path of the target table top assembly, it can be determined whether there is a risk of squeezing the items, thereby fully identifying the potential safety hazards of the target table top assembly.

[0099] Step S12: identifying obstacle information in the image information.

[0100] The obstacle information in the image information can be identified by an image recognition algorithm, specifically, RCNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks) and SSD (Sum of Squared Differences) can be used.

[0101] Step S13, generating obstacle information of the target table top component according to the recognition result.

[0102] Obstacle information of the target table top component is generated based on the recognition result of the obstacle information in the image information.

[0103] Optionally, refer to Fig. 9 Another method step diagram for obtaining obstacle information is shown, wherein the step S103 of collecting the obstacle information of the target table top component includes:

[0104] Step S21, obtaining the pressure information on the storage surface of the target table top assembly.

[0105] In order to reduce the amount of calculation of the vehicle controller and improve the response rate of the vehicle controller, the pressure information on the storage surface of the target table board assembly can be used to determine whether there is an obstacle that prevents the target table board assembly from being folded. Specifically, the pressure sensor can be set at the connection between the table board assembly and the seat back, or under the storage surface of the table board assembly.

[0106] Step S22: determining obstacle information of the target table top assembly based on the pressure information.

[0107] When it is determined based on the collected pressure information that the pressure borne by the storage surface of the target table top assembly is greater than the preset pressure, it is determined that there is an obstacle that hinders the folding of the target table top assembly; when the pressure borne by the storage surface of the target table top assembly is less than or equal to the preset pressure, it is determined that there is no obstacle that hinders the folding of the target table top assembly.

[0108] The third aspect of the present application proposes an embodiment, referring to Fig.10 A flow chart of a tabletop assembly control method is shown, and the method is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a plurality of tabletop assemblies, the tabletop assemblies include a tabletop and a screen, and the states of the tabletop assemblies include an unfolded state and a retracted state. In the unfolded state, the tabletop assembly is unfolded on one side of the seat back, and in the retracted state, the tabletop assembly is retracted on one side of the seat back. When both the tabletop and the screen are in the retracted state, the screen is located between the tabletop and the seat back. The method includes:

[0109] In response to the triggering of the door opening signal, the target door corresponding to the door opening signal is determined, and the state of the table board assembly near the target door and the passenger use information are collected. It is determined whether the state of the table board assembly and the passenger use information meet the preset conditions. When the state of the table board assembly and the passenger use information meet the preset conditions, the table board assembly is determined to be the target table board assembly. The preset conditions include that the screen is in a retracted state, the table board is in an extended state, and the passenger seat information indicates that there is no passenger sitting in the seat corresponding to the table board assembly.
