[0024] The technical solutions in the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only a part of the present application, not all embodiments. In the following description, "some embodiments" mentioned is only a subset of all possible embodiments, which can be the same or different subset, and different embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0025] Figure 1is a flowchart of a vehicle control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. For example, referring to Figure 1 The vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present application can include the following steps 101 to 104:

[0026] Step 101, generating a parking space detection signal according to vehicle environment information of a target vehicle;

[0027] For example, the target vehicle is a vehicle that is executing the vehicle control method of the present application, and is a vehicle identified and located by a vehicle-mounted sensor, GPS, a vehicle-mounted computing platform, etc. The target vehicle is the main body that needs to be parked by the vehicle control method in the present scheme. The vehicle environment information refers to the surrounding environment information of the target vehicle, and is a key basis for determining whether to generate a parking space detection signal. It includes visual perception information, vehicle dynamic information, and surrounding facility information, etc. These information are interrelated and synergistic, providing accurate data support for intelligent parking decision. The parking space detection signal is a signal generated by analyzing and processing the vehicle environment information, indicating whether to detect an available parking space. This signal will trigger the next operation.

[0028] Through the implementation of step 101, the vehicle environment information (such as obstacle information, road structure, vehicle state, etc.) is used to generate a parking space detection signal, so that the vehicle can acquire and analyze the surrounding environment in real time in a dynamic environment, thereby determining whether it is suitable for parking operation. By integrating various information, the vehicle control system can more accurately perceive the parking environment and provide reliable data support for the subsequent parking process.

[0029] Step 102, detecting an available parking space in response to the parking space detection signal;

[0030] For example, the available parking space is a parking space in which the target vehicle can be safely parked during parking. This parking space needs to meet certain standards, such as sufficient space, no obstacles, appropriate location, etc. Specifically, the available parking space not only needs to be within the parking space range of the target vehicle, but also needs to have sufficient parking space for the target vehicle to complete the parking operation. The identification of the available parking space can rely on the combination of sensors and algorithms. The vehicle-mounted radar, ultrasonic sensor, camera, laser radar, etc. collect the environmental data of the parking lot area in real time, and compare it with the map data of the parking lot (such as the marking line of the parking space, the empty situation of the parking space, etc.), so as to determine which parking spaces are idle and meet the parking requirements. The sensor can capture the actual occupancy of the parking space, and combine the marking line information of the parking space to determine whether a parking space is suitable for the target vehicle to enter by algorithm.

[0031] Through the implementation of step 102, the parking area is detected in real time, and the idle parking space can be accurately identified. Compared with the traditional manual parking method, the time and effort of the driver in searching for a parking space can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the parking efficiency and reducing the uncertainty and pressure in the parking process. Especially in the high-density parking environment in the city, a better parking experience can be provided.

[0032] Step 103, when a parking space is detected, a first parking signal is generated;

[0033] For example, the first parking signal is a signal indicating that the parking process has been confirmed and is ready to start after detecting an available parking space. The signal is used to start the related parking operation, such as automatic parking of the vehicle or prompting the driver to manually park. The generation of the first parking signal usually depends on the judgment result of the detection process. When the sensor and environmental data of the vehicle indicate that the target parking space is empty and meets the parking conditions, the first parking signal is generated by the on-board computer. For example, assuming that the vehicle detects an idle parking space through the sensor, and the parking space is sufficient to accommodate the target vehicle, when the parking space meets the requirements, the vehicle control system generates the "first parking signal" to indicate that the vehicle can start the automatic parking operation or prompt the driver to manually park.

[0034] Through the implementation of step 103, the driver's manual judgment of the applicability of the parking space is avoided, the risk of human error is reduced, the vehicle can more intelligently perform the parking operation, the dependence on the driver's intervention is reduced, and the intelligence and safety of the parking operation are improved.

[0035] Step 104, in response to the first parking signal, displaying a parking scene image in the full-screen area of the vehicle display module;

[0036] For example, the vehicle display module is an electronic display screen installed in the vehicle interior for displaying various vehicle information, navigation images, vehicle entertainment content, and vehicle control operation interfaces. The vehicle display module generally receives and displays related data by connecting the on-board computer and the sensor system. The full-screen area refers to the entire display screen area of the vehicle display module allocated for displaying parking-related images. This area occupies the entire screen when displaying parking images, ensuring that the driver or automatic driving system can clearly view the parking environment. The parking scene image is the image of the environment around the vehicle captured by the on-board camera, which is mainly used to assist parking operation. The image content can be the rear, side, or front view of the vehicle, so that the driver can clearly understand the parking space and the surrounding obstacles. The parking scene image can be obtained in real time by multiple cameras (such as a reversing image, a surround view camera, etc.), and converted into a displayable image format by an image processing system. According to the relative position of the target vehicle and the parking space, as well as the real-time data of the surrounding environment, the image content is generated and adjusted.

[0037] Through the implementation of step 104, the driver's perception ability is enhanced, so that accidents do not occur during parking due to visual blind spots or environmental complexity, and the accuracy and safety of parking are improved.

[0038] To sum up, the embodiment of the present application first generates a parking space detection signal according to the environmental information of the target vehicle, which can actively detect available parking spaces around the vehicle, reducing the burden of the driver to manually search for parking spaces and ensuring that suitable parking positions can be found in time. Secondly, when an available parking space is detected, a first parking signal is automatically generated, further simplifying the operation process of the driver and making the parking operation more automated and accurate. Then, after receiving the first parking signal, the vehicle display module will display the parking scene image in the full screen area, and the driver can intuitively see the surrounding environment and the parking path, reducing the visual blind area and judgment difficulty during parking and improving the safety and accuracy of the parking process. In addition, the automation and real-time feedback of the entire process not only optimize the parking experience, but also improve the overall parking efficiency, especially suitable for scenarios that require precise parking and can reduce the risk of scratches or collisions that may occur during parking, thereby providing a smoother, safer and more convenient driving experience for the driver. In summary, the vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present application significantly improves the convenience and safety of vehicle parking through the intelligent parking space detection and parking signal generation mechanism.

[0039] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle environmental information can include obstacle information and vehicle state information, the aforementioned obstacle information can include obstacle quantity and obstacle distance, and the aforementioned vehicle state information can include vehicle speed; the aforementioned step 101 can include: when the obstacle quantity is greater than a preset quantity, the obstacle distance is less than a first preset distance, and the vehicle speed is less than a first preset speed, generating the parking space detection signal.

[0040] The number of obstacles is the number of obstacles detected around the target vehicle, which can be other vehicles, pedestrians, curbs, or any object that can hinder the parking process; the number of obstacles can be detected by vehicle-mounted sensors (such as ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, or cameras) to detect objects in the environment in real time and perform image recognition or signal processing; for example, when the target vehicle is reversing, the ultrasonic sensor detects 3 obstacles (such as two parked vehicles and a curb) behind the vehicle, and the number of obstacles is recorded as 3. The distance of the obstacle is the distance between the target vehicle and the surrounding obstacles, which can be the distance between the vehicle and the nearest point of the obstacle; the distance of the obstacle can be measured by vehicle-mounted sensors (such as ultrasonic sensors, laser radars, radar sensors) or vision systems, and the signal reflection return time of the sensor or the image recognition algorithm will calculate the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle. The vehicle speed is the current speed of the target vehicle, which is provided by the vehicle speed sensor (such as the wheel speed sensor, GPS module, or vehicle CAN bus system). The preset number is a threshold value of the number of obstacles set in the vehicle control method, and only when the number of detected obstacles exceeds this preset number, the parking space detection signal will be generated; for example, the preset number can be set to 2, which means that only when the number of obstacles is greater than 2, the parking space detection signal can be activated. The first preset distance is a threshold value for judging the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and if the distance between the target vehicle and the obstacle is less than this threshold value, the related operation will be triggered; for example, the first preset distance is set to 1.5 meters, and when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 1.5 meters, it is considered that the vehicle has approached the obstacle and further parking operation may be required. The first preset speed is a threshold value of the vehicle speed, and only when the speed of the target vehicle is less than the preset value, the parking space detection signal can be generated; for example, the first preset speed is 3 km / h, which means that during the reversing process of the vehicle, when the vehicle speed is lower than 3 km / h, the parking space detection signal can be activated.

[0041] In some examples, during the reversing process of the vehicle, the number of obstacles detected by the sensor is 3, the distance of the obstacle is 1 meter, and the current speed of the vehicle is 2 km / h; these detection values are compared with the preset conditions, and it is found that the number of obstacles is greater than the preset number (2), the distance of the obstacle is less than the first preset distance (1.5 meters), and the speed of the vehicle is less than the first preset speed (3 km / h); according to these conditions, the parking space detection signal is generated, and the subsequent parking operation is prepared to continue.

[0042] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, the number, distance and speed of the vehicle of the detected obstacles can be more accurately evaluated to assess the suitability of the current parking environment, and a parking space detection signal can be generated. When there are many obstacles or the vehicle is slow, it can intelligently determine whether to detect available parking spaces, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the parking process, better responding to complex parking environments and dynamic changes, effectively avoiding misjudgment and failing to detect parking spaces in time. For example, in a congested section, although there are many vehicles around, the speed is fast and the obstacles are distributed randomly, so the signal will not be generated incorrectly. When approaching the parking lot, the obstacles are arranged in order, the distance is appropriate, and the speed is slowed down, the parking intention can be accurately captured, unnecessary parking space search operations can be reduced, the system response efficiency can be improved, more time can be gained for the subsequent parking process, and the overall parking rhythm can be optimized.

[0043] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle environment information can further include road structure information, and the aforementioned road structure information can include a parking space marking distance and a parking lot marker distance. When the number of obstacles is greater than a preset number, the distance of the obstacles is less than a first preset distance, and the speed of the vehicle is less than a first preset speed, the aforementioned parking space detection signal can be generated. When the number of obstacles is greater than a preset number, the distance of the obstacles is less than a first preset distance, the speed of the vehicle is less than a first preset speed, the distance to the parking space marking is less than a second preset distance, and the distance to the parking lot marker is less than a third preset distance, the aforementioned parking space detection signal can be generated.

[0044] The parking space marking distance is the horizontal distance between the target vehicle and the parking space marking line, which can be a ground marking line in a parking lot indicating a parking position. This distance can be measured by a laser radar, an ultrasonic sensor, or a camera on the vehicle, and the distance between the vehicle and the parking space marking line is detected by the sensor, and is calculated in real time. The parking lot marker distance is the distance between the target vehicle and the parking lot marker (such as a parking lot entrance sign, a parking lot internal sign, etc.), which can be used to guide the driver to park. This distance can also be detected and calculated by sensors (such as cameras, laser radars, ultrasonic sensors) on the vehicle, and the distance between the marker and the system can be calculated by image recognition or signal reflection. The second preset distance is a preset threshold for judging the distance between the parking space marking line, and when the distance between the target vehicle and the parking space marking line is less than the threshold, the corresponding operation can be triggered, such as generating a parking space detection signal. For example, the second preset distance is set to 1.5 meters, indicating that when the distance between the target vehicle and the parking space marking line is less than 1.5 meters, the parking space detection signal will be generated. The third preset distance is a preset distance threshold between the parking lot marker, and only when the distance between the target vehicle and the parking lot marker is less than the threshold, the parking space detection signal can be generated. For example, the third preset distance is set to 2 meters, indicating that when the distance between the vehicle and the parking lot marker is less than 2 meters, the parking space detection signal can be triggered.

[0045] In some examples, during the reversing process, the vehicle detects that the distance to the parking space marking line is 1.2 meters, the distance to the parking lot marker is 1.8 meters, the number of obstacles is 3, the distance to the obstacle is 1.2 meters, and the vehicle speed is 2 km / h. These detection values are compared with the preset thresholds, and it is found that the number of obstacles is greater than the preset number, the distance to the obstacle is less than the first preset distance, the vehicle speed is less than the first preset speed, and the distance to the parking space marking line is less than the second preset distance and the distance to the parking lot marker is less than the third preset distance. Then, according to these conditions, a parking space detection signal is generated to prepare for subsequent parking operations.

[0046] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, on the basis of the original environmental information, road structure information such as parking space marking distance and parking lot marker distance is added, thereby providing more accurate parking space detection judgment basis. Through these additional structure information, the suitability of the parking space can be judged more intelligently. For example, in the case of multiple similar parking space markers but not actually planned as a parking area on the roadside, the misjudgment can be excluded by combining the marking distance judgment. When the marker is seen near the parking lot entrance and other conditions are met, the signal is generated decisively, so that the parking process closely matches the actual parking scene, improves the parking success rate, and reduces the time wasted by the driver due to incorrect guidance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle environment information can include road structure information and vehicle self-state information, the aforementioned road structure information can include a distance to a parking lot marker, and the aforementioned vehicle self-state information can include a vehicle speed and a reverse driving time length; the aforementioned step 101 can include: generating a parking space detection signal when the distance to the parking lot marker is less than a fourth preset distance, the vehicle speed is less than a second preset speed, and the reverse driving time length is greater than a preset time length.

[0048] For example, the reverse driving time length is a length of time that the target vehicle is in a reverse driving state, i.e., a time from when the vehicle starts to reverse to a current time, and the reverse driving time length is used to measure a duration of reverse driving operation of the vehicle in the parking lot. The preset time length is a minimum reverse driving time length set to ensure that the target vehicle can find a suitable parking space within a proper time during parking, and when the reverse driving time length exceeds the preset time length, it is considered that the target vehicle enters a suitable parking area and starts to perform a parking operation; for example, the preset time length is 2 seconds, which means that if the vehicle reaches a time length of 2 seconds during reverse driving, it is considered that the parking space detection can be started at this time. The second preset speed is a preset speed threshold used to determine whether the vehicle is reverse driving at a reasonable speed, and if the speed of the target vehicle is less than the second preset speed, it indicates that the vehicle is slowly reverse driving and has enough time to perform the parking operation. The fourth preset distance is a distance threshold between the target vehicle and the parking lot marker, and when the distance between the target vehicle and the parking lot marker is less than the preset distance, it is considered that the target vehicle has entered the parking area and can start to detect the parking space.

[0049] In some examples, when the target vehicle is reverse driving, the sensor of the target vehicle monitors that the distance to the parking lot marker is 1.8 meters, and the reverse driving time length has reached 3 seconds, and the vehicle speed is 2 km / h; these information is compared with the preset threshold, and it is found that the distance to the parking lot marker is less than the fourth preset distance (2 meters), the reverse driving time length is greater than the preset time length (2 seconds), and the vehicle speed is less than the second preset speed (3 km / h); it is considered that the target vehicle has entered the parking lot and is in the reverse driving state, and a parking space detection signal is generated to prepare for the parking operation.

[0050] Through implementation of the above embodiments, the road structure information and the vehicle self-state information are further refined, and the reverse driving time length factor is combined to provide a more accurate parking space detection signal generation mechanism. By combining the distance to the parking lot marker, the vehicle speed, and the reverse driving time length, the parking intention can be automatically identified in a specific situation, and the parking operation can be triggered in time. The addition of the reverse driving time length enables the system to determine whether it is in an actual parking process, thereby avoiding misjudgment and improving the intelligence and safety of the system in a high-complexity environment.

[0051] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle control method can further include: in response to the first parking signal, displaying a parking function selection button in a first area of the vehicle display module, wherein the area of the first area is smaller than the area of the full-screen area, and the first area is displayed floating above the full-screen area.

[0052] In some examples, the first area is a specific area on the screen of the vehicle display module, which is used to display parking-related functions or information, the area of the first area is smaller than the area of the entire full-screen area, and the position of the area is generally floating, i.e., floating above the full-screen area, facilitating user operation and interaction; the coordinates and size of the first area are controlled by user interface design logic in the vehicle display module, which can be dynamically adjusted according to the resolution and layout requirements of the screen, and the area can be a rectangle or a circle, taking into account interaction with other display content when designing; for example, assuming that the vehicle display module is a 10-inch screen, the first area can be set as a small area in the upper left corner of the screen with an area of 10% of the entire screen, which can be used to display a parking function selection button. The parking function selection button is a control button presented to the driver in the vehicle display module, allowing the user to enable or select different parking functions (such as automatic parking, manual parking, etc.), and the button can have an icon or a text prompt to facilitate user identification and interaction.

[0053] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, the first area is used to display the parking function selection button in the vehicle display module, and the first area is smaller than the full-screen area and floats above the display screen, which not only improves the space utilization of the display screen, but also makes the interface more concise and intuitive, effectively reducing the visual interference and operation complexity of the driver; while displaying the parking scene in full screen, necessary function buttons are retained, allowing the user to conveniently control at any time, improving the convenience of operation and user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle control method can further include: in response to the user inputting a second parking signal, displaying a parking scene video in a second area of the vehicle display module, displaying a third-party software interface in a third area of the vehicle display module, and displaying a parking function selection button in a fourth area of the vehicle display module, wherein the full-screen area is composed of the second area and the third area, the area of the second area is smaller than the area of the third area, the area of the fourth area is smaller than the area of the second area, and the fourth area is displayed floating above the second area.

[0055] In some examples, the second parking signal is a signal input by the user through the interface or control system indicating that the user wishes to further initiate or perform a parking operation, which can be triggered by a button on the touch screen, a voice command or other input method; for example, the user generates a second parking signal by clicking the "start automatic parking" button on the screen, and initiates the parking process. The second area is a specific area on the screen of the vehicle display module, which is usually used to display the main parking scene image, and the area of the second area is smaller than that of the third area, occupying a smaller part of the screen; for example, on the vehicle display module, assuming that the screen is 10 inches, the second area is set to 40% of the entire screen, which is used to display the parking image. The third area is an area on the vehicle display module for displaying a third-party software interface, which can be used to display information other than the vehicle control system, such as navigation, media or other application content; for example, the third area can occupy 60% of the screen, which is used to display navigation or third-party map applications while displaying the environment information around the vehicle. The third-party software interface is an application interface developed by a third party and displayed on the vehicle display module, which is usually an additional function unrelated to vehicle control, such as navigation, entertainment system, etc.; for example, the third-party software interface can be a map navigation software that displays real-time traffic conditions and route guidance. The fourth area is a smaller area on the display module, which is specifically used to display parking function selection buttons, and the area is suspended in the second area and has a small area, which is used to display control buttons or prompts.

[0056] By implementing the above embodiments, the parking scene image of the second area is displayed in response to the second parking signal, and the third-party software interface is displayed in different areas, which further enhances the multifunctionality and interactivity of the display module, so that the user can view relevant auxiliary information and third-party applications at the same time when performing parking operations, without the need to switch different interfaces, providing a smoother and more diversified user experience; at the same time, the area allocation can effectively avoid the interface display being too cluttered, maintaining visual clarity and operational convenience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the aforementioned vehicle control method can further include: in response to a touch signal to the second area, displaying the parking scene image in the third area, displaying the third-party software interface in the second area, and displaying the parking function selection button in a fifth area of the vehicle display module, wherein the area of the fifth area is smaller than the area of the third area, and the fifth area is suspended in the third area.

[0058] In some examples, the fifth area is a small area on the vehicle display module screen used to display parking function selection buttons. This area is smaller than the third area and will float above or on top of the third area so that it can be easily clicked or operated by the user. For example, the fifth area may be located in the upper right corner of the screen, displaying a button such as "Pause Parking" or "Cancel Parking". Its relatively small size ensures that it does not interfere with the display of the main parking scenario.

[0059] For example, when a user touches the screen in the second area, in response to the touch signal, the display will switch to a parking scene image in the third area; at the same time, the second area continues to display a third-party software interface (such as a navigation or media application), while the fifth area displays a parking function selection button.

[0060] The implementation of the above embodiments further enhances the interactive function. By responding to touch signals, users can freely switch the displayed content between different areas. When a user touches a specific area, the display area can be reallocated, making the parking scene and third-party software interface display more flexible. The position and size of the displayed content can be adjusted according to the user's needs and preferences, improving the dynamic adaptability and interactivity of the interface. This makes the system more intelligent and in line with the user's operating habits, thereby further improving the personalization and convenience of the user experience.
