Existing remote control technology can adjust the vehicle's air conditioning system to regulate temperature, but this method cannot release stagnant air or adjust humidity, thus impacting user comfort. Therefore, how to control vehicle comfort settings in high-temperature environments to improve user comfort is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the step of controlling the operation of the vehicle window system based on the measured rainfall includes:
[0014] If the measured rainfall is less than the first rainfall threshold, then control the sunroof and windows to open completely;
[0015] If the measured rainfall is not less than the first rainfall threshold and the measured rainfall is less than the second rainfall threshold, then the sunroof is closed and some windows are opened.
[0016] If the measured rainfall is not less than the second rainfall threshold, then control the sunroof and windows to be completely closed.
[0017] Preferably, the first humidity data includes the first in-vehicle humidity and the first outside-vehicle humidity;
[0018] Preferably, determining the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the first humidity data includes:

[0020] If the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0021] If the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is not less than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode.
[0022] If the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is greater than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0023] If the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is not greater than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode.

Based on the magnitude of the first temperature data, the system controls the window system to adjust the opening and closing of the windows and sunroof, and determines the corresponding target operating mode for the air conditioning system to adjust the comfort level inside the vehicle, thus improving the user's comfort experience after the adjustment is complete. When the target operating mode is recirculation mode, the system acquires second temperature and humidity data to monitor in real time whether the corresponding second temperature and humidity data meet the appropriate comfort conditions during comfort adjustment. Once it is determined that the second temperature and humidity data meet the appropriate comfort conditions, the comfort adjustment mode is exited. This allows for comfort adjustment of the vehicle's interior in high-temperature environments, improving the user's comfort experience. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] The vehicle control method provided in this embodiment of the invention is used to control the comfort adjustment of a vehicle in a high-temperature environment. The vehicle control method can be applied to an on-board controller, which can be a controller dedicated to achieving comfort adjustment or a controller integrated with other functions.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 5 Taking the vehicle-mounted controller as an example, the explanation includes the following steps:
[0043] S101: When the vehicle is in comfort mode, acquire the first temperature data and the first humidity data;
[0044] S102: When the first temperature data and the first humidity data do not meet the conditions for comfortable operation, control the window system to operate based on the first temperature data and determine the target operating mode of the air conditioning system.
[0045] S103: When the target working mode is the internal circulation mode, control the air conditioning system to perform temperature adaptive adjustment and obtain the second temperature data and the second humidity data.
[0046] S104: Exit comfort adjustment mode when the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions.
[0047] The comfort adjustment mode refers to the operating mode for adjusting the vehicle's comfort level. The first temperature data refers to the data obtained by monitoring the ambient temperature of the vehicle before adjusting the comfort level in the comfort adjustment mode. Specifically, this includes the first interior temperature and the first exterior temperature obtained by monitoring the temperature inside and outside the vehicle. The first humidity data refers to the data obtained by monitoring the ambient humidity of the vehicle before adjusting the comfort level in the comfort adjustment mode. Specifically, this includes the first interior humidity and the first exterior humidity obtained by monitoring the humidity inside and outside the vehicle.
[0048] As an example, in step S101, when the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle is in comfort adjustment mode (specifically, when the vehicle's comfort adjustment function is activated), it monitors and acquires the first temperature data and the first humidity data of the vehicle's environment in real time. In this example, when the vehicle is determined to enter comfort adjustment mode, the first temperature data and the first humidity data of the vehicle's environment are acquired to facilitate subsequent judgment on whether the first temperature data and the first humidity data meet the conditions for suitable comfort.
[0049] Among them, the appropriate comfort conditions refer to the preset in-vehicle temperature and humidity conditions that meet comfort requirements. The target operating mode refers to the operating mode of the air conditioning system when adjusting the comfort of the vehicle interior.
[0050] As an example, in step S102, the vehicle controller determines whether the first temperature data and first humidity data meet the comfort level requirements based on the acquired first temperature data and first humidity data. If the first temperature data and first humidity data meet the comfort level requirements, it indicates that the vehicle has a relatively comfortable level of comfort, and no comfort adjustment is needed. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to exit the comfort adjustment mode. If the first temperature data and first humidity data do not meet the comfort level requirements, it indicates that the vehicle does not have a relatively comfortable level of comfort. In this case, comfort adjustment is required. Specifically, based on the first temperature data, the window system's windows and sunroof are controlled to open or close, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined, and the air conditioning system is controlled to enter the corresponding target operating mode. Understandably, in high-temperature environments, to improve user comfort, when the first temperature data and first humidity data do not meet the comfort level requirements, it is necessary to first lower the interior temperature through the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the first temperature data. In this example, when the vehicle controller determines that the first temperature data and the first humidity data do not meet the conditions for suitable comfort, it controls the window system to adjust the opening and closing of the windows and sunroof according to the magnitude of the first temperature data, and determines that the air conditioning system enters the corresponding target working mode to achieve the comfort adjustment of the vehicle interior, so as to improve the user's comfort experience after the comfort adjustment is completed.
[0051] Temperature adaptive adjustment refers to the process of adjusting the interior temperature to meet comfortable conditions while ensuring the interior temperature does not exceed the exterior temperature. Secondary temperature data refers to the data obtained by monitoring the ambient temperature while the vehicle is in comfort mode, specifically including the secondary interior temperature and the secondary exterior temperature. Secondary humidity data refers to the data obtained by monitoring the ambient humidity while the vehicle is in comfort mode, specifically including the secondary interior humidity and the secondary exterior humidity.
[0052] As an example, in step S103, when the vehicle controller determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is the recirculation mode, it controls the air conditioning system to perform temperature adaptive adjustment, automatically adjusting the interior temperature, and monitoring the second temperature data and second humidity data of the vehicle's environment in real time during the comfort adjustment process. Understandably, in recirculation mode, the vehicle controller monitors and acquires the interior and exterior temperatures in real time during the comfort adjustment process, and uses these acquired temperatures as the second temperature data. In this example, acquiring the vehicle's second temperature and second humidity data when the target operating mode is recirculation mode facilitates real-time monitoring of whether the corresponding second temperature and second humidity data meet the comfort requirements during the comfort adjustment process.
[0053] As an example, in step S104, the vehicle controller determines whether the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions. If it determines that the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions, it directly exits the comfort adjustment mode. If it determines that the second temperature data and the second humidity data do not meet the comfort conditions, it needs to continue controlling the air conditioning system to be in recirculation mode, and continue to monitor and acquire the corresponding second temperature data and second humidity data of the vehicle, and determine whether the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions, until it is determined that the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions. Understandably, when the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions, it indicates that the vehicle's comfort adjustment is complete, the vehicle is in a comfortable state, and the comfort adjustment mode can be exited directly. When it is determined that the second temperature data and the second humidity data do not meet the comfort conditions, it indicates that the vehicle's comfort adjustment needs to continue, that is, steps S103 to S104 need to be executed again until it is determined that the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the comfort conditions, thus completing the vehicle's comfort adjustment. In this example, when the second temperature data and the second humidity data are determined to meet the comfort conditions, the comfort adjustment mode is exited to adjust the comfort of the vehicle interior, which can improve the user's comfort experience.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in comfort adjustment mode, first temperature and humidity data inside and outside the vehicle are acquired. Based on the magnitude of the first temperature data, the window system is controlled to adjust the opening and closing of the windows and sunroof, and the air conditioning system is determined to enter the corresponding target operating mode to adjust the comfort level inside the vehicle. This facilitates improved user comfort after the comfort adjustment is completed. When the target operating mode is recirculation mode, second temperature and humidity data are acquired to monitor in real time whether the corresponding second temperature and humidity data meet the appropriate comfort conditions during comfort adjustment. When it is determined that the second temperature and humidity data meet the appropriate comfort conditions, the comfort adjustment mode is exited. This achieves comfort adjustment inside the vehicle in high-temperature environments, improving the user comfort experience.
[0055] In one embodiment, the first temperature data includes a first interior temperature and a first exterior temperature.
[0056] The first interior temperature refers to the temperature inside the vehicle monitored before the vehicle is put into comfort mode and the comfort settings are adjusted. The first exterior temperature refers to the temperature outside the vehicle monitored before the vehicle is put into comfort mode and the comfort settings are adjusted.
[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S102, which involves controlling the window system based on the first temperature data and determining the target operating mode of the air conditioning system, includes:
[0058] S201: If the temperature inside the first vehicle is greater than the temperature outside the first vehicle, the window system is controlled to operate based on the measured rainfall, and the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0059] S202: If the temperature inside the vehicle is not greater than the temperature outside the vehicle, control all windows to close and determine the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the humidity data.
[0060] Among them, the measured rainfall refers to the actual amount of rain detected outside the vehicle.
[0061] As an example, in step S201, when the vehicle controller determines that the interior temperature is greater than the exterior temperature, it acquires the measured rainfall outside the vehicle, controls the opening and closing of the window system based on the measured rainfall, and sets the target operating mode of the air conditioning system to external circulation mode. Understandably, in high-temperature environments, when the interior temperature is determined to be greater than the exterior temperature, it is necessary to further adjust the interior temperature to make it lower than the exterior temperature to improve user comfort. At this time, controlling the window system and setting the target operating mode of the air conditioning system to external circulation mode facilitates the adjustment of the interior temperature to be lower than the exterior temperature.
[0062] As an example, in step S202, when the vehicle controller determines that the first interior temperature is not greater than the first exterior temperature, it controls all the windows to close, and further determines the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the first humidity data. Understandably, if the first interior temperature is not greater than the first exterior temperature, it is necessary to further determine the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the first humidity data to facilitate subsequent adjustment of the first humidity data and ultimately achieve adjustment of vehicle comfort.
[0063] In this embodiment, when the interior temperature is determined to be higher than the exterior temperature, the window system is activated, and the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is set to external circulation mode. This facilitates the adjustment of the interior temperature to be lower than the exterior temperature, allowing for further adjustments to the interior temperature and humidity to meet comfortable conditions and thus regulate vehicle comfort. When the interior temperature is determined to be no higher than the exterior temperature, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is further determined based on the humidity data, facilitating subsequent adjustments to the humidity data and thus regulating vehicle comfort.
[0064] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S201, which controls the operation of the window system based on the measured rainfall, includes:
[0065] S301: If the measured rainfall is less than the first rainfall threshold, then control the sunroof and windows to open completely;
[0066] S302: If the measured rainfall is not less than the first rainfall threshold and the measured rainfall is less than the second rainfall threshold, then control the sunroof to close and control some windows to open.
[0067] S303: If the measured rainfall is not less than the second rainfall threshold, then control the sunroof and windows to be completely closed.
[0068] The first rainfall threshold is a pre-set threshold used to assess whether there is no rain or light rain. The second rainfall threshold is a pre-set threshold used to assess whether there is heavy rain.
[0069] As an example, in step S301, when the vehicle controller determines that the measured rainfall is less than a first rainfall threshold, it controls the sunroof and windows to be fully opened. Understandably, if the measured rainfall is determined to be less than the first rainfall threshold, it indicates that the measured rainfall is light or there is no rain, meaning that there is light rain or no rain outside the vehicle. Therefore, the windows and sunroof can be fully opened to accelerate the adjustment of the interior temperature, allowing it to quickly become lower than the exterior temperature.
[0070] As an example, in step S302, when the vehicle controller determines that the measured rainfall is not less than a first rainfall threshold and less than a second rainfall threshold, it controls the window system to close the sunroof and open some of the windows. Understandably, if the measured rainfall is determined to be not less than the first rainfall threshold and less than the second rainfall threshold, then the measured rainfall outside the vehicle can be determined to be moderate rainfall. In this case, keeping the sunroof closed and only opening some windows can prevent the vehicle from leaking water and causing a poor user comfort experience.
[0071] As an example, in step S303, when the vehicle controller determines that the measured rainfall is not less than the second rainfall threshold, it controls all sunroofs and windows to close. Understandably, if the measured rainfall is not less than the second rainfall threshold, it indicates that the measured rainfall outside the vehicle is heavy. In this case, the window system is controlled to close all sunroofs and windows to prevent the vehicle from leaking water and causing a poor user comfort experience.
[0072] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the windows and sunroof are controlled according to the measured rainfall. This not only speeds up the adjustment of the interior temperature of the first vehicle in light rain or rainless conditions, but also allows the interior temperature to be reduced to a level lower than the exterior temperature of the first vehicle at a faster adjustment speed, thus helping to improve the user's comfort experience.
[0073] In one embodiment, the first humidity data includes a first in-vehicle humidity and a first outside-vehicle humidity.
[0074] The first in-vehicle humidity refers to the humidity inside the vehicle monitored before the vehicle is put into comfort mode and the comfort settings are adjusted. The first external humidity refers to the humidity outside the vehicle monitored before the vehicle is put into comfort mode and the comfort settings are adjusted.
[0075] In one embodiment, step S202, namely determining the target operating mode of the air conditioning system based on the first humidity data, includes:
[0076] S2021: If the humidity inside the first vehicle is within the preset comfortable humidity range, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode;
[0077] S2022: If the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range and the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0078] S2023: If the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is not less than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode.
[0079] S2024: If the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range and the humidity inside the first vehicle is greater than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0080] S2025: If the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, and the humidity inside the first vehicle is not greater than the humidity outside the first vehicle, then the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode.
[0081] The preset comfort humidity range refers to the range of in-vehicle humidity that meets the conditions for comfortable driving. For example, the preset comfort humidity range can be set to [0.3, 0.8].
[0082] As an example, in step S2021, when the vehicle controller determines that the humidity inside the first vehicle is within a preset comfortable humidity range, it determines the target operating mode of the air conditioning system as the recirculation mode. Understandably, if the humidity inside the first vehicle is within the preset comfort range, it indicates that the humidity inside the first vehicle meets the comfort requirements. Therefore, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the recirculation mode to adjust the temperature inside the first vehicle to meet the comfort requirements. In this example, when the humidity inside the first vehicle is within the preset comfortable humidity range, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the recirculation mode, which facilitates the adjustment of the temperature inside the first vehicle and achieves comfort regulation of the vehicle.
[0083] As an example, in step S2022, when the vehicle controller determines that the first in-vehicle humidity is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range and the first in-vehicle humidity is lower than the first outside humidity, it determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is the external circulation mode.
[0084] Understandably, when it is determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, it can be determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle does not meet the conditions for comfortable conditions and needs to be adjusted.
[0085] Furthermore, if the humidity inside the vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range and lower than the humidity outside the vehicle, it indicates that the interior is drier than the exterior. The air conditioning system can use its external circulation mode to coordinate the ratio of air entering and exiting the vehicle, adjusting the humidity inside the vehicle based on the external humidity to bring it within the preset comfortable range. For example, if the preset comfortable humidity range is [0.3, 0.8], the humidity inside the vehicle is 0.21, and the external humidity is 0.5, the external circulation mode can exchange the air inside and outside the vehicle, allowing the external humidity to adjust the humidity inside the vehicle to the preset comfortable range. Therefore, when the humidity inside the vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range and lower than the external humidity, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the external circulation mode.
[0086] As an example, in step S2023, when the vehicle controller determines that the first in-vehicle humidity is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range and the first in-vehicle humidity is not less than the first outside humidity, it determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is the internal circulation mode.
[0087] Understandably, when it is determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, it can be determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle does not meet the conditions for comfortable conditions and needs to be adjusted.
[0088] Furthermore, if the humidity inside the vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range, but not lower than the humidity outside the vehicle, it indicates that the humidity inside the vehicle is too low and needs to be increased. However, since the humidity inside the vehicle is not lower than the humidity outside the vehicle, it means that the humidity inside the vehicle cannot be adjusted by using the outside temperature in the external circulation mode. For example, if the preset comfortable humidity range is [0.3, 0.8], the humidity inside the vehicle is 0.21, and the humidity outside the vehicle is 0.19, the humidity inside the vehicle needs to be increased. However, the humidity outside the vehicle is lower than the humidity inside the vehicle, so the humidity inside the vehicle cannot be increased by external circulation. Therefore, when the humidity inside the vehicle is lower than the preset comfortable humidity range but not lower than the humidity outside the vehicle, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode. This continues until the surrounding environment of the vehicle changes and the humidity inside the vehicle is determined to be lower than the humidity outside the vehicle. Then, step S2021 is executed to adjust the humidity inside the vehicle to the preset comfortable humidity range.
[0089] As an example, in step S2024, when the vehicle controller determines that the first in-vehicle humidity is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range and the first in-vehicle humidity is greater than the first outside humidity, it determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is the external circulation mode.
[0090] Understandably, when the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, it can be determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle does not meet the conditions for comfortable operation, and the humidity inside the first vehicle needs to be adjusted.
[0091] Furthermore, if the humidity inside the vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range and also higher than the humidity outside the vehicle, it indicates that the interior is too humid compared to the exterior. The air conditioning system can be configured to use external circulation mode to coordinate the ratio of air entering and exiting the vehicle, adjusting the interior humidity based on the outside humidity to bring it within the preset comfortable range. For example, if the preset comfortable humidity range is [0.3, 0.8], the interior humidity is 0.8, and the outside humidity is 0.3, external circulation mode can be used to exchange air between the inside and outside of the vehicle, thus adjusting the interior humidity based on the outside humidity to bring it within the preset comfortable humidity range. Therefore, when the interior humidity is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range and also higher than the outside humidity, the target operating mode for the air conditioning system is determined to be external circulation mode.
[0092] As an example, in step S2025, when the vehicle controller determines that the first in-vehicle humidity is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range and the first in-vehicle humidity is not greater than the first outside humidity, it determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is the internal circulation mode.
[0093] Understandably, when the humidity inside the first vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, it can be determined that the humidity inside the first vehicle does not meet the conditions for comfortable operation, and the humidity inside the first vehicle needs to be adjusted.
[0094] Furthermore, if the humidity inside the vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, but not higher than the humidity outside the vehicle, it indicates that the humidity inside the vehicle is high and needs to be adjusted to reduce it. However, if the humidity inside the vehicle is not higher than the humidity outside the vehicle, it indicates that the humidity outside the vehicle is even higher. Therefore, the humidity outside the vehicle cannot be adjusted to reduce the humidity inside the vehicle. For example, if the preset comfortable humidity range is [0.3, 0.8], the humidity inside the vehicle is 0.8, and the humidity outside the vehicle is 0.9, it is impossible to exchange the air inside and outside the vehicle to reduce the humidity inside the vehicle through the external circulation mode. Therefore, when the humidity inside the vehicle is higher than the preset comfortable humidity range, but not higher than the humidity outside the vehicle, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the internal circulation mode. This continues until the surrounding environment of the vehicle changes and it is determined that the humidity inside the vehicle is higher than the humidity outside the vehicle. Then, step S2024 is executed to adjust the humidity inside the vehicle to the preset comfortable humidity range.
[0095] In this embodiment, when the humidity inside the first vehicle is within a preset comfortable humidity range, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined to be the recirculation mode, which facilitates adjustment of the temperature inside the first vehicle and achieves vehicle comfort regulation. When the humidity inside the first vehicle is not within the preset comfortable humidity range, the target operating mode of the air conditioning system is determined based on the relationship between the humidity inside the first vehicle and the temperature inside the first vehicle, which facilitates more precise adjustment of the humidity inside the vehicle.
[0096] In one embodiment, the suitable comfort conditions are that the interior temperature is within a preset comfortable temperature range and the interior humidity is within a preset comfortable humidity range.
[0097] The preset comfort temperature range refers to a pre-defined range of comfortable interior temperatures. For example, the preset comfort temperature range is [20℃, 26℃].
[0098] For example, when the vehicle controller determines that the first interior temperature and the first interior humidity are within a preset comfortable temperature range and a preset comfortable humidity range, it determines that the first interior temperature and the first interior humidity meet the conditions for comfortable comfort. As another example, when the vehicle controller determines that the interior temperature in the second temperature data is within a preset comfortable temperature range and the interior humidity in the second humidity data is within a preset comfortable humidity range, it determines that the second temperature data and the second humidity data meet the conditions for comfortable comfort.
[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, before step S101, that is, before acquiring the first temperature data and the first humidity data while the vehicle is in comfort adjustment mode, the vehicle control method further includes:
[0100] S401: Obtain the on / off status of the comfort adjustment mode;
[0101] S402: If the switch is in the on state, the vehicle will be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode according to the preset timed start rule.
[0102] S403: If the switch is in the off state, acquire the measured vehicle data, and when the measured vehicle data meets the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode, control the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode.
[0103] The switch state corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode is the current state of the control switch that controls the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode. The switch state corresponding to this comfort adjustment mode includes the on state and the off state.
[0104] As an example, in step S401, the vehicle controller obtains the switch status corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode and determines whether the switch status is on or off, so as to facilitate the subsequent determination of how to enter the comfort adjustment mode. The preset timed start rule refers to the rule that automatically controls the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode according to a preset timed rule.
[0105] As an example, in step S402, when the vehicle controller determines that the switch corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode is in the "on" state, it indicates that the vehicle has activated the comfort adjustment mode. At this time, according to a preset timed activation rule, the vehicle can be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode at a predetermined time. For example, if the preset timed activation rule is to control the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode every two hours, then the vehicle controller will control the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode every two hours. In this example, when the switch is in the "on" state, controlling the vehicle to activate the function corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode according to the preset timed activation rule can achieve the purpose of automatically controlling the vehicle to adjust its comfort.
[0106] The measured vehicle data refers to vehicle-related data collected in real time. The activation conditions for the comfort adjustment mode are pre-set conditions used to determine whether the vehicle can enter the comfort adjustment mode when the corresponding switch is in the off state.
[0107] As an example, in step S403, when the vehicle controller determines that the switch state corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode is off, it determines that the vehicle has not activated the comfort adjustment mode. At this time, actual vehicle data can be acquired, and based on the actual vehicle data, it is determined whether the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode are met. If it is determined that the actual vehicle data meets the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode, the vehicle is controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode. In this example, directly controlling the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode when it is determined that the actual vehicle data meets the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode ensures the smoothness of the vehicle comfort adjustment function and improves the user's comfort experience.
[0108] In this embodiment, when the switch is in the "on" state, the vehicle is controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode at set intervals according to a preset timed start rule, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically controlling the vehicle to adjust its comfort level. When the measured vehicle data meets the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode, the vehicle is controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode, so as to improve the smoothness of the function of assisting the vehicle to adjust its comfort level based on the measured vehicle data and enhance the user's comfort experience.
[0109] In one embodiment, the activation conditions for the comfort adjustment mode include: the vehicle has started, the vehicle is in a stable state, and the vehicle display screen is turned on.
[0110] Understandably, the measured vehicle data only meets the activation conditions for the comfort adjustment mode when the vehicle is started, in a stable state, and the vehicle display screen is on.
[0111] As an example, when the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle has started, is in a stable state, and the vehicle display is on, and when it determines that the measured vehicle data meets the activation conditions corresponding to the comfort adjustment mode, it controls the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode.
[0112] In this embodiment, the measured vehicle data only meets the activation conditions of the comfort adjustment mode when the vehicle has started, is in a stable state, and the vehicle display screen is on. This allows for a more accurate determination of whether the vehicle needs to be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode, thus avoiding accidental triggering of the comfort adjustment mode.
[0113] As another example, firstly, the vehicle controller determines whether the vehicle is started based on the measured vehicle data. If the vehicle is started, it determines whether the vehicle is in a stable state; if it is not started, it directly determines that the vehicle cannot be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode. Secondly, if the vehicle is in a stable state, the vehicle controller further determines whether the vehicle display screen is on; if it is not in a stable state, it directly determines that the vehicle cannot be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode. In this example, the vehicle controller can determine whether the vehicle is in a stable state by calculating the height difference between the lowest and highest positions of the vehicle's wheels. Thirdly, if the vehicle display screen is on, the vehicle controller controls the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode; if the vehicle display screen is not on, it determines that the vehicle cannot be controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode.
[0114] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is already started, it is further determined whether the vehicle is in a stable state. When the vehicle is in a stable state, it is further determined whether the vehicle display screen is turned on. Only when it is determined that the vehicle display screen is turned on is the vehicle controlled to enter the comfort adjustment mode. This method can more accurately determine whether it is necessary to control the vehicle to enter the comfort adjustment mode and avoid the accidental triggering of the comfort adjustment mode.
