[0002] In recent years, with the intelligent development of vehicles, the interaction content between people and vehicles has become richer, and the personalization and differentiation of vehicles have become increasingly important. For example, current intelligent ambient lights can include single-color and multi-color ambient lights. The single-color ambient light can adjust the brightness according to different lighting needs, while the multi-color ambient light can achieve more diverse scenarios and can adjust the color and brightness according to temperature, rhythm, etc.

[0003] However, currently, the selection of lighting schemes (e.g., ambient light color or brightness), such as single color or a mixture of 2-3 colors, still needs to be pre-adjusted in the vehicle console, for example, by adjusting a color bar. Such lighting schemes are limited and fixed, with low interactivity with users or the surrounding environment and are not "personalized" enough.

[0029] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the features of the present invention will be further apparent in the following specific description. The term "vehicle" used throughout the specification refers to any type of automobile, including but not limited to cars, vans, trucks, buses, etc. For simplicity, the present invention is described with respect to "automobile". The term "A or B" used in the specification means "A and B" and "A or B", and does not mean that A and B are exclusive, unless otherwise specified.

[0030] Current smart car lights include, for example, in-car atmosphere lights, which can be integrated into the smart cockpit to create an immersive experience. Interior atmosphere lights are generally used in areas such as dashboards, doors, center consoles, ceiling lights, skylights, headlight sheds, front and rear footrests, and rear seats, and are in the form of light strips or dots. From the perspective of light emission, it can include, for example, point light source direct atmosphere lights (consisting of a light distribution mask, LED circuit board, and housing), point light source light strip atmosphere lights (consisting of a light module, light guide, and mounting bracket), point light source surface emitting atmosphere lights (consisting of a light mask, surface light guide, LED circuit board, and housing), etc., which can be used in different areas of the cabin.

[0031] However, current lighting solutions (e.g., ambient light color adjustment, ambient light mode selection, etc.) are limited and fixed, require manual pre-setting, and cannot be color-matched with the user's clothing or the user's personal devices, etc., which results in poor interactivity with the user.

[0032] In this regard, the present application generates personalized colors or color combinations by analyzing and processing color patterns in images associated with the user (for example, the color of the user's clothing, etc.), which can improve the user experience and further enhance the interactivity between the smart cockpit and the user.

[0033] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic architecture diagram of a lighting and display color control system 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the system 100 may include at least an image acquisition device 102 , an image processing device 104 , and a color generation device 106 .

[0034] The image acquisition device 102 may acquire an image including a color pattern associated with the user.

[0035] In one embodiment, the color pattern associated with the user may include one or more of: a color pattern associated with the user's clothing colors; or a color pattern associated with the display colors on the user's personal electronic device.

[0036] A color model can be a model that expresses a certain color in digital form. For example, a color model can be expressed in the form of RGB values, where RGB represents the colors of the three channels of red, green, and blue.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the driver and the passengers are both in the vehicle, the image acquisition device 102 may acquire an image containing color patterns associated with the driver and the passengers (i.e., all persons in the vehicle). This allows not only the driver but also the passengers' related personalized color features to be considered when generating personalized colors, which further enhances the user experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the image acquisition device 102 may also acquire images containing color patterns associated with the surrounding environment of the vehicle for subsequent recognition and analysis.

[0039] The image processing device 104 may then identify and process color patterns in the acquired image to generate a color distribution control function, wherein the color distribution control function may indicate the color to be applied to the lighting or display elements of the vehicle.

[0040] The user-associated color pattern may include color values ​​for each pixel in the image that is associated with the user.

[0041] In one embodiment, the identification or processing of user-related color patterns in an image may be performed based on an onboard algorithm, which may be based at least in part on the extraction of color features of the color pattern.

[0042] In further embodiments, the on-board algorithm may be based on a color generation strategy, wherein the color generation strategy is based on considerations including hue, saturation, and brightness.

[0043] For example, when the saturation and brightness of the color of the user's clothing are both low, the saturation and brightness are also reduced when the color is generated.

[0044] In addition, preferably, the color generation strategy can also be based on considerations including the external ambient temperature. For example, in a scene where the external ambient temperature is hotter (e.g., 35°), a warmer color (e.g., orange) can be generated, while in a scene where the external ambient temperature is colder (e.g., 5°), a cooler color (e.g., blue) can be generated.

[0045] It is understood that the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted algorithm can be implemented using various technologies known to those skilled in the art (eg, machine learning, etc.). The color generation strategy can also take into account other special situations and external factors (eg, weather conditions, etc.).

[0046] The color generating device 106 may then determine a corresponding color or color combination to be applied to one or more of the lighting or display elements of the vehicle based on the generated color distribution control function.

[0047] Additionally, the colors of various lighting or display elements applied to the vehicle may be the same or different (eg, depending on user settings).

[0048] In one embodiment, the lighting or display elements of the vehicle may include one or more of the following: interior projection lights, interior LED light bars (or light strips) or other surface lighting or light-transmitting materials, interior sunroof LED lights or other surface or light-transmitting lighting materials, interior displays, interior head-up display (HUD) systems, or exterior lighting and display systems.

[0049] In one example, when the image captured by the vehicle camera indicates that the background color of the user's personal device is blue, the corresponding color (e.g., blue) can be extracted and generated and used as the background color of the vehicle computer (i.e., the in-vehicle display).

[0050] Therefore, by identifying and processing color patterns related to the user or the surrounding environment in the images captured by the vehicle camera to generate personalized colors or color combinations, the user interactivity of the vehicle lighting solution can be further enhanced and the user experience can be improved.

[0051] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the systems of the present invention may be implemented in hardware or software, and the systems may be combined or combined in any suitable manner. In addition, it will be appreciated that the system may also include APIs (application programming interfaces) for other in-vehicle applications and mobile applications (including but not limited to IPA voice, haptic, acoustic systems, etc.) for any suitable expansion and access.

[0052] Figure 2-4 Schematic diagrams of personalized lighting and display color control scenes 200 - 400 for interaction with a user according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in scenario 200, a vehicle-related application in a user's personal electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) may provide options for configuring the interior and / or exterior colors of the vehicle, and in response to the user clicking on the option, a photo (e.g., a selfie) may be selected from, for example, a mobile phone album or a photo may be taken on site for color extraction purposes.

[0054] After selecting and confirming the selected photo, the photo can be sent to the user, for example, via a network connection. Figure 1 The lighting and display color control system 100 shown. The system can then identify and process the color pattern associated with the user in the photo (e.g., the color pattern of the user's clothing color) based on an onboard algorithm (which can be based on factors including, for example, hue, saturation, brightness, etc.) to generate a color distribution control function, and based on the above color distribution control function, can determine and generate a corresponding color or color combination to be applied to the lighting or display elements of the vehicle.

[0055] Subsequently, after the user approaches the vehicle or gets in the vehicle, the generated corresponding color or color combination can be applied to the various elements of the vehicle's lighting and display system to achieve personalized lighting and display interaction.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in scene 300, the user is approaching the vehicle, and when the vehicle recognizes the key (or by using SMACC technology), the side cameras outside the vehicle (such as Figure 3As shown by 301 in [reference], it can capture an image of the approaching user and be ready to send the image to the system (e.g., the system 100 as described above) for further processing. Subsequently, the system can receive the image (which contains the color pattern associated with the user), identify and process the color pattern therein to generate a color distribution control function, and based on the above color distribution control function, determine and generate the corresponding color or color combination to be applied to the lighting or display elements of the vehicle. Subsequently, after the user gets into the vehicle, the generated corresponding color or color combination can be applied to the elements of the vehicle's lighting and display system accordingly.

[0057] In addition, as Figure 4 shown, in scenario 400, both the driver and the passengers have got into the vehicle (inside the cockpit), and the on-vehicle camera inside the vehicle automatically captures an image of the driver and the passengers and sends the image to the system (e.g., the system 100 as described above) for further processing. Subsequently, the system can receive the image (which contains the color pattern associated with the driver and the passengers), identify and process the color pattern therein to generate a color distribution control function, and based on the above color distribution control function, determine and generate the corresponding color or color combination to be applied to the lighting or display elements of the vehicle. Subsequently, the generated corresponding color or color combination can be applied to the elements of the vehicle's lighting and display system accordingly to achieve an intelligent interaction with the vehicle lighting system, further improving the user experience.

[0058] Of course, it can be understood that there are also other personalized lighting and display color control scenarios for interacting with the user. For example, using the on-vehicle camera to capture photos of the surrounding environment and extracting color information therefrom to be applied to the vehicle's lighting system.

[0059] Figure 5 Fig. [reference] shows a schematic flowchart of a lighting and display color control method 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Method 500 starts at step 502, and the image acquisition device 102 can acquire an image containing a color pattern associated with the user.

[0061] In one embodiment, the color pattern associated with the user may include a color pattern associated with the color of the user's clothing or a color pattern associated with the display color on the user's personal electronic device.

[0062] Of course, it can be understood that the color pattern associated with the user may also include any other suitable color pattern that can reflect the user's individuality.

[0063] Further, in the case where both the driver and the passenger are in the vehicle, the image acquisition device 102 may acquire an image including color patterns associated with the driver and the passenger.

[0064] In addition, the image acquisition device 102 may also acquire an image including a color pattern associated with the surrounding environment of the vehicle for subsequent color extraction operations.

[0065] At step 504 , the image processing device 104 may identify and process color patterns in the acquired image to generate a color distribution control function, wherein the color distribution control function may indicate the color to be applied to the lighting or display elements of the vehicle.

[0066] In one embodiment, the recognition or processing of color patterns in the acquired images may be performed based on an onboard algorithm, wherein the onboard algorithm may be based at least in part on the extraction of color features of the color pattern.

[0067] In further embodiments, the above-mentioned on-board algorithm may be based on a color generation strategy, wherein the color generation strategy may be based on considerations including hue, saturation, and brightness.

[0068] Preferably, the color generation strategy may also be based on considerations including the external ambient temperature.

[0069] Subsequently, at step 506 , the color generating device 106 may determine a corresponding color or color combination to be applied to the lighting or display element of the vehicle according to the color distribution control function.

[0070] In one embodiment, the vehicle's lighting or display elements may include one or more of the following: interior projection lights; interior LED light bars or other surface lighting or light-conducting materials; interior sunroof LED lights or other surface lighting or light-conducting materials; interior displays; interior HUD systems; or exterior lighting and display systems.

[0071] Therefore, by capturing user-related images, extracting personalized colors from them and applying them to the vehicle's lighting and display systems, the intelligent interaction between users and vehicles can be further enhanced and the user experience can be improved.

[0072] Figure 6 An exemplary vehicle 600 supporting lighting and display color control according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown. Vehicle 600 may include various software and hardware components connected via bus 602.

[0073] For example, vehicle 600 may include at least sensor system 604, communication system 606, lighting or display element 608, and Figure 1 A lighting and display color control system 100 is shown.

[0074] The sensor system 604 may include, for example, a variety of sensors mounted on the vehicle, including but not limited to any suitable number of accelerometers, gyroscopes and / or magnetometers, visual sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted cameras), millimeter-wave radars, lidars, etc. The visual sensors in the sensor system 604 may capture images containing color patterns associated with the user or the vehicle's surroundings, which may be arranged inside and outside the vehicle (e.g., forward, sideways, and rearward).

[0075] The communication system 606 can communicate with a roadside unit, a cloud control platform, or other vehicles within a certain range via direct V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication or C-V2X (cellular-based vehicle-to-everything) communication. In the case of utilizing C-V2X communication, the vehicle can, for example, obtain user-related images (e.g., user selfies) (which may include color patterns associated with the user) from the user's personal electronic device via a cellular network covered by a base station. In this case, remote transmission can be achieved and reliable, real-time, low-latency communication between different network participants can be supported.

[0076] The lighting and display color control system 100 may receive or acquire an image containing color patterns associated with a user or the vehicle's surroundings from a visual sensor of the vehicle 600; identify and process the color patterns in the acquired image to generate a color distribution control function that indicates the color to be applied to the vehicle's lighting or display elements 608; and determine a corresponding color or color combination to be applied to the vehicle's lighting or display elements 608 based on the color distribution control function.

[0077] The lighting or display element 608 may apply a color or color combination determined according to the color distribution control function generated by the system 100. The lighting or display element 608 may include, but is not limited to, an in-vehicle projection lamp, an in-vehicle LED light bar or other surface lighting or light-transmitting material, an in-vehicle sunroof LED lamp or other surface lighting or light-transmitting material, an in-vehicle display, an in-vehicle HUD system, or an exterior lighting and display system.

[0078] When the corresponding color is applied to the lighting or display element 608 according to the generated color distribution control function, the color applied to each lighting or display element can be the same or different. In addition, the corresponding color or color combination can also be applied to each lighting or display element of the vehicle depending on the user setting.
