Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicles, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for displaying alarm information in the field of vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, there are more and more types of vehicle alarm sounds. However, sometimes users hear an alarm but don't know what it means, making it impossible to deal with the cause of the alarm in a timely manner, thus affecting driving safety. Therefore, improving driving safety has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for displaying alarm information. This method helps users understand the types of alarm sounds in the vehicle and their corresponding alarm causes, while also improving the user's driving safety.

[0004] Firstly, a method for displaying alarm information is provided. The method includes: if it is detected that a user has enabled the alarm sound interpretation function, then display interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds on a target area of ​​the vehicle; if it is detected that the user selects the interpretation button, then play a first alarm sound corresponding to the interpretation button and display a first alarm message corresponding to the interpretation button on the target area; wherein the first alarm message is used to describe the triggering reason corresponding to the first alarm sound.

[0005] The above technical solution, by displaying interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds in the target area of ​​the vehicle, allows users to more easily select and learn about various types of alarm sounds. When a user selects a interpretation button, the vehicle will play the first alarm sound corresponding to that button and display the first alarm information corresponding to that button in the target area. This first alarm information can explain in detail the triggering reason of the first alarm sound. This method not only enhances the user's understanding of different types of alarm sounds on the vehicle and the reasons for the alarms, but also improves the user's interpretation efficiency. Through the alarm sound interpretation function, users can become more familiar with and master the alarm sounds emitted by the vehicle in different situations, thereby reacting more quickly in actual driving, improving driving safety, and enhancing the interactivity between the user and the vehicle while bringing a better driving experience.

[0006] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the step of displaying interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds on the target area of ​​the vehicle if the user is detected to have enabled the alarm sound interpretation function includes: acquiring the vehicle's status information; determining, based on the status information, whether the allowed triggering conditions for the alarm sound interpretation function are met; and if the allowed triggering conditions are met, displaying interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds on the target area of ​​the vehicle if the user is detected to have enabled the alarm sound interpretation function.

[0007] The above technical solution, by introducing vehicle status information judgment logic, can ensure that the alarm sound interpretation function is correctly triggered at the appropriate time, thereby enhancing vehicle driving safety while meeting the user's need to understand the alarm sound.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, the step of determining whether the allowed triggering condition of the alarm sound interpretation function is met based on the status information includes: if the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a parked state, then it is determined that the allowed triggering condition of the alarm sound interpretation function is met; if the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a driving state, then the seat information of the vehicle is obtained; if the seat information of the vehicle indicates that there are multiple users in the vehicle, then it is determined that the allowed triggering condition of the alarm sound interpretation function is met.

[0009] The above technical solution achieves precise control over the triggering conditions for activating the alarm sound interpretation function by meticulously analyzing vehicle status and seating information. When the vehicle status information indicates that the vehicle is parked, considering user driving safety, the system determines that the permissible triggering conditions for the alarm sound interpretation function are met. When the vehicle status information indicates that the vehicle is in motion, considering driving safety, the system further determines whether multiple users are present based on seating information. If the seating information indicates that multiple users are present in the vehicle, it means that at least one user other than the driver has activated the alarm sound interpretation function, which can also be considered as meeting the permissible triggering conditions for the alarm sound interpretation function. This approach helps users understand the alarm sounds while also improving driving safety.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, the step of displaying the corresponding interpretation buttons for different types of alarm sounds on the target area of ​​the vehicle if it is detected that a user has enabled the alarm sound interpretation function includes: if it is detected that a user other than the driver among the multiple users has enabled the alarm sound interpretation function, then the corresponding interpretation buttons for different types of alarm sounds are displayed on the target area of ​​the vehicle.

[0011] The above technical solution, by refining the conditions for activating the alarm tone interpretation function, further ensures vehicle driving safety. When the vehicle's seating information indicates the presence of multiple users, while determining that the permitted triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met, the system restricts the users who can activate the function. To further ensure driving safety, the driver cannot activate the alarm tone interpretation function, while other users can activate it normally. This approach improves user experience while considering driving safety.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation, in some possible implementations, during the playback of the first alarm sound corresponding to the interpretation button, the method further includes: if the vehicle is detected to meet a preset alarm condition, then the second alarm sound corresponding to the preset alarm condition is played, and the playback of the first alarm sound is paused.

[0013] The above technical solution requires continuous monitoring of the vehicle while playing the first alarm tone corresponding to the release button. If the vehicle is detected to meet the preset alarm conditions, in order to avoid information interference caused by confusion caused by multiple alarm tones, and considering driving safety, the first alarm tone can be paused and the second alarm tone corresponding to the preset alarm conditions can be played. This method can play alarm tones that are more in line with the current needs of the vehicle according to its actual condition, ensuring that the driver and passengers can identify the current actual situation, thereby improving driving safety.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, if the vehicle is detected to meet the preset alarm conditions, the method further includes: displaying the number of times the second alarm sound is triggered in the current power-on cycle in the area where the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm sound is located.

[0015] The above technical solution, when the vehicle triggers the second alarm tone under preset alarm conditions, can display the number of times the second alarm tone has been triggered in the current power-on cycle in the area where the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm tone is located, in order to remind the user that the second alarm tone is currently playing. This method not only intuitively reminds the user of the frequency at which the second alarm tone has been triggered from the current power-on time to the present moment, but also helps the user to understand the vehicle's alarm status in a timely manner, reminding the user to pay attention to potential safety hazards, thereby improving the user experience and driving safety of the vehicle.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, after displaying the number of times the second alarm sound was triggered in the current power-on cycle in the area where the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm sound is located, the method further includes: if it is detected that the user selects the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm sound, then displaying the second alarm information corresponding to the second alarm sound on the target area, and marking the second alarm information that triggered the second alarm sound according to a preset marking method; wherein, the second alarm information is used to describe the triggering reason corresponding to the second alarm sound.

[0017] In addition to displaying the number of times the second alarm tone has been triggered, the above technical solution can also display the second alarm information corresponding to the second alarm tone on the target area when the user selects the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm tone. The second alarm information describes in detail the triggering reason of the second alarm tone. In order to enable users to understand the reason for triggering the second alarm tone more intuitively, a preset marking method can be used to mark the second alarm information that triggered the second alarm tone, providing users with a more intuitive user experience.

[0018] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementation, in some possible implementations, the method further includes: if it is detected that the triggering cause of the second alarm information has been resolved, then clearing the marker of the second alarm information.

[0019] In the above technical solution, when the triggering cause of the second alarm information has been cleared, in order to avoid the user being disturbed by the processed alarm information, the previous markings on the second alarm information can be cleared, so that the user can focus more on the potential safety hazards of the vehicle and further improve the user's driving safety.

[0020] Secondly, an alarm information display device is provided, comprising: a first detection module, configured to display interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds on a target area of ​​the vehicle if the user is detected to have activated the alarm sound interpretation function; and a second detection module, configured to play a first alarm sound corresponding to the interpretation button and display first alarm information corresponding to the interpretation button on the target area if the user is detected to have selected the interpretation button; wherein the first alarm information describes the triggering reason corresponding to the first alarm sound.

[0038] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0039] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0040] With the development of technology, the types of alarm sounds in vehicles are becoming increasingly diverse. However, sometimes users hear an alarm sound but don't understand its meaning. Existing solutions may include the following: when a user encounters a certain alarm sound for the first time, the intelligent voice assistant immediately provides a voice explanation and operation suggestions, requiring the user to confirm understanding; or, when a new car is started for the first time, the intelligent voice assistant provides a brief learning session via voice, introducing the main types of alarm sounds. However, none of these solutions can help users address the cause of the alarm in a timely manner, thus affecting driving safety. Therefore, improving driving safety has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0041] To at least address the aforementioned issues, embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying alarm information, applied to a vehicle controller, which can improve user driving safety.

[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for displaying alarm information provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method 100 includes:

[0044] Step 101: If the vehicle controller detects that the user has enabled the alarm tone interpretation function, then the interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm tones will be displayed on the target area of ​​the vehicle.

[0045] Step 102: If the vehicle controller detects the user's selection operation on the release button, it plays the first alarm sound corresponding to the release button and displays the first alarm information corresponding to the release button on the target area; wherein, the first alarm information is used to describe the triggering reason corresponding to the first alarm sound.

[0046] In this application, unless otherwise stated, the term "interpretation" means to explain the specific meaning represented by the alarm sound.

[0047] In this embodiment, by displaying interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm sounds in the target area of ​​the vehicle, users can more easily select and learn about various types of alarm sounds. When a user selects a interpretation button, the vehicle will play the first alarm sound corresponding to that button and display the first alarm information corresponding to that button in the target area. This first alarm information can explain in detail the triggering reason of the first alarm sound. This method can not only enhance users' understanding of different types of alarm sounds on the vehicle and their understanding of the alarm reasons, but also improve the user's interpretation efficiency. Through the alarm sound interpretation function, users can become more familiar with and master the alarm sounds emitted by the vehicle in different situations, thereby reacting more quickly in actual driving, improving driving safety, and enhancing the interactivity between the user and the vehicle while bringing a better driving experience to the user.

[0048] The following is about Figure 1 The implementation of each step in the illustrated embodiment will be explained in detail.

[0049] Regarding step 101, it is understood that the switch for the aforementioned alarm tone interpretation function can be located on the display screen or on the projected light and shadow of the display. The aforementioned display screen refers to an electronic screen installed inside the vehicle for displaying text, images, or video content. This display screen can include: a central control screen, a seatback screen, and a ceiling-mounted screen, etc. The aforementioned display refers to a display in the vehicle used for projecting light and shadow. This display can be a head-up display (HUD) or other display capable of projecting light and shadow. This light and shadow can be projected onto the vehicle's interior windows or other glass capable of displaying light and shadow.

[0050] When the alarm tone interpretation function is enabled, users can activate it via voice control, touch screen, or light and shadow switch, allowing them to learn about various alarm tones and their corresponding alarm reasons.

[0051] The target area mentioned above refers to the display area on the screen or in the light and shadow. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the display of alarm information provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The screen displays the initial interface shown on the display or light projection after the user activates the alarm tone interpretation function. This initial interface is the target area. Different types of alarm tones have corresponding interpretation buttons displayed on this initial interface, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The document displays explanation buttons for six different alarm tones: alarm tone 1, alarm tone 2, alarm tone 3, alarm tone 4, alarm tone 5, and alarm tone 6.

[0052] In practical use, considering the user's driving safety, certain prerequisites need to be set for enabling the alarm sound interpretation function.

[0053] In some embodiments, if the vehicle controller detects that the user has enabled the alarm tone interpretation function, it displays interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm tones on the target area of ​​the vehicle. This includes: the vehicle controller acquiring the vehicle's status information; the vehicle controller determining, based on the status information, whether the allowed triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met; and if the allowed triggering conditions are met, if the vehicle controller detects that the user has enabled the alarm tone interpretation function, it displays interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm tones on the target area of ​​the vehicle.

[0054] It is understood that the vehicle status information mentioned above includes the vehicle's gear position and speed. The aforementioned triggering conditions are designed to determine whether the user can activate the alarm tone interpretation function. These triggering conditions are determined based on the vehicle's status information, but in practical applications, they can also be determined through other methods.

[0055] The above technical solution can ensure that the alarm tone interpretation function is correctly triggered at the appropriate time, which not only meets the user's need to understand the alarm tone, but also enhances the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0056] In some embodiments, the vehicle controller determines whether the permissible triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met based on the status information, including: if the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a parked state, then the permissible triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met; if the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a driving state, then the vehicle's seat information is obtained; if the vehicle's seat information indicates that there are multiple users in the vehicle, then the permissible triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met.

[0057] Understandably, if the vehicle controller detects that the vehicle is in parking gear and the vehicle speed is 0 km / h, it indicates that the vehicle is in a parked state. When the vehicle is parked, the user can learn the alarm tone independently, which means that the allowed triggering conditions for the alarm tone interpretation function are met.

[0058] If the vehicle controller detects that the vehicle is not in parking gear and the vehicle speed is greater than 0 km / h, it indicates that the vehicle is in motion. While the vehicle is in motion, considering user safety and user experience, it is also necessary to determine whether to enable the alarm sound interpretation function based on the seating information inside the vehicle. If the seating information indicates that there are multiple users inside the vehicle, including the driver, then considering the user experience of the occupants, the conditions for enabling the alarm sound interpretation function are met.

[0059] The aforementioned seat information can be obtained in two ways: First, through occupant seat sensors, which may include weight sensors and pressure distribution sensors. The weight of the passenger is obtained through the weight sensor under each seat, and it is determined whether the weight is greater than a preset weight threshold. If the weight is greater than the preset weight threshold, it is determined that there is a user in that seat, thus determining the number of users in the vehicle. Alternatively, the pressure on the seat is obtained through the pressure distribution sensor under each seat or on the seat back, and it is determined whether the pressure is greater than a preset pressure threshold. If the pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that there is a user in that seat, thus determining the number of users in the vehicle. Second, through in-vehicle cameras, in-vehicle images are acquired through in-vehicle cameras, and facial recognition or contour recognition is performed based on the in-vehicle images. The number of recognized faces or the number of user body contours are determined as the number of users in the vehicle.

[0060] The above technical solution, through detailed analysis of vehicle status and seating information, achieves precise control over the triggering conditions for activating the alarm sound interpretation function, which not only helps users understand the alarm sound but also improves driving safety.

[0061] Furthermore, when there are multiple users in the vehicle, further restrictions on the driver are necessary to ensure driving safety.

[0062] In some embodiments, if the vehicle controller detects that a user has enabled the alarm tone interpretation function, it displays interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm tones on the target area of ​​the vehicle. This includes: if the vehicle controller detects that a user other than the driver among multiple users has enabled the alarm tone interpretation function, it displays interpretation buttons corresponding to different types of alarm tones on the target area of ​​the vehicle.

[0063] It is understandable that when the vehicle is in motion and there are multiple users inside, the driver cannot activate the alarm sound interpretation function to ensure driving safety. However, considering the user experience of other users, other users besides the driver can activate the alarm sound interpretation function.

[0064] For example, when a user activates the alarm tone interpretation function using voice control, the microphone array in the vehicle is used to detect the direction of the sound source. If the direction of the sound source is determined to be the driver's direction, the system will not respond to the driver's voice command to activate the alarm tone interpretation function, but it can respond to the voice command of the user in the passenger's direction.

[0065] When a user activates the alarm sound interpretation function using the switch on the touchscreen display, the touchscreen sensor inside the touchscreen detects the touch direction. If the touch direction is determined to be in the driver's direction, the system will not respond to the driver's touch to activate the alarm sound interpretation function, but it can respond to the touch of a user in the passenger's direction.

[0066] When a user activates the alarm sound interpretation function by touching the switch on the light and shadow, the direction of the touch is detected using optical imaging technology. If the touch direction is determined to be in the driver's direction, the system will not respond to the driver's touch to activate the alarm sound interpretation function, but it can respond to the touch of a user in the passenger's direction.

[0067] In practical applications, it is also possible to allow the driver to activate the alarm sound interpretation function, but without responding to any selection operation of the interpretation button by the driver.

[0068] The above technical solution not only considers the user's driving safety but also improves the user experience.

[0069] Regarding step 102, it is understood that when the alarm tone interpretation function is enabled, when the user selects any of the aforementioned interpretation buttons, the in-vehicle alarm will play the first alarm tone corresponding to the selected interpretation button and display the first alarm information corresponding to that interpretation button on the display screen or light and shadow, i.e., the reason for triggering the first alarm tone. The aforementioned first alarm information can also be referred to as the first alarm text.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of displaying alarm information provided in this application embodiment. When the user selects the interpretation button corresponding to alarm tone 1, the alarm information corresponding to alarm tone 1 can be displayed on the screen or on the light and shadow. Figure 3There are seven types of alarm messages corresponding to alarm tone 1: alarm message ①, alarm message ②, alarm message ③, alarm message ④, alarm message ⑤, alarm message ⑥, and alarm message ⑦. These seven alarm messages are initially ordered based on security levels, with alarm messages having a higher impact on user security appearing first.

[0071] When the aforementioned in-vehicle alarm plays an alarm tone, it typically plays for 3 seconds, starting from the moment the user selects the release button. For example, when the user selects the release button corresponding to alarm tone 1, the in-vehicle alarm begins playing alarm tone 1. If the user selects the release button corresponding to alarm tone 2 while alarm tone 1 is playing, the in-vehicle alarm immediately plays alarm tone 2 and pauses playing alarm tone 1.

[0072] The above selection operations can include clicking the interpretation button, long-pressing the interpretation button, or selecting the interpretation button via voice control.

[0073] In some embodiments, during the process of playing the first alarm tone corresponding to the release button, the method further includes: if the vehicle controller detects that the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions, then playing the second alarm tone corresponding to the preset alarm conditions and pausing the playback of the first alarm tone.

[0074] It is understandable that the above-mentioned preset alarm conditions are intended to determine whether the second alarm tone corresponding to the preset alarm conditions can be played, and to pause the playback of the first alarm tone.

[0075] The above technical solution can play alarm sounds that better suit the vehicle's current needs based on the vehicle's actual condition, ensuring that drivers and passengers can recognize the current situation and thus improve driving safety.

[0076] In some embodiments, if the vehicle controller detects that the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions, the method further includes: displaying the number of times the second alarm tone is triggered in the current power-on cycle in the area where the interpretation button corresponding to the second alarm tone is located.

[0077] Understandably, when the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions, the number of times the second alarm sound has been triggered during the current power-on cycle can be displayed in the area where the explanation button corresponding to the second alarm sound is located. This number of triggers can be used to remind the user that the second alarm sound has been triggered.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions and triggers alarm tone 2, the number of times alarm tone 2 has been triggered is displayed in the upper right corner of the corresponding explanation button. For example, Figure 3 The system displays that alarm tone 2 has been triggered 2 times.

[0079] The above technical solution not only intuitively reminds users of the frequency at which the second alarm tone has been triggered since the vehicle was powered on, but also helps users understand the vehicle's alarm status in a timely manner, reminding them to pay attention to potential safety hazards, thereby improving the user experience and driving safety of the vehicle.

[0080] In some embodiments, after displaying the number of times the second alarm tone has been triggered in the current power-on cycle in the area where the explanation button corresponding to the second alarm tone is located, the method further includes: if the vehicle controller detects that the user selects the explanation button corresponding to the second alarm tone, then displaying the second alarm information corresponding to the second alarm tone in the target area, and marking the second alarm information that triggered the second alarm tone according to a preset marking method; wherein, the second alarm information is used to describe the triggering reason corresponding to the second alarm tone. The aforementioned second alarm information can also be referred to by the second alarm terminology.

[0081] It is understood that the above-mentioned preset marking method is intended to highlight the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm sound, and may include: moving the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm sound above the second alarm information that has not triggered the second alarm sound, making the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm sound bold, changing the display color of the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm sound, and only displaying the second alarm information that has been triggered the second alarm sound, etc.

[0082] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the third type of alarm information display provided in this application embodiment. When the user selects the interpretation button corresponding to alarm tone 2, the alarm information corresponding to alarm tone 2 is displayed on the display screen or light and shadow, including: alarm information ①, alarm information ②, alarm information ③, alarm information ④, alarm information ⑤, and alarm information ⑥. The above six alarm information also have an initial order, which is determined according to the security level. The alarm information with the higher impact on user security is ranked higher. If the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm tone includes alarm information ④ and alarm information ⑤, then alarm information ④ and alarm information ⑤ can be moved above alarm information ①, alarm information ②, alarm information ③, and alarm information ⑥. Regarding the ranking of alarm information ④ and alarm information ⑤, if alarm information ④ and alarm information ⑤ are not triggered simultaneously, they can be ranked according to the triggering order or the security level. If alarm information ④ and alarm information ⑤ are triggered simultaneously, then the security level is used for ranking.

[0083] In addition, with Figure 4For example, alarm tone 2 can play alarm tones of different durations for different alarm messages. Taking alarm message ④ as an example with a playback duration of 1 second and alarm message ⑤ as an example with a playback duration of 3 seconds, if alarm messages ④ and ⑤ are triggered simultaneously, alarm tone 2 can loop in a sequence of 1 second playback, 1 second interval, 3 seconds playback, and 1 second interval. Simultaneously, it can vibrate at a frequency of 1 Hz per second to provide the user with further alerts. The 1-second interval mentioned above is just an example; in practical applications, the interval can be changed according to actual needs.

[0084] The above technical solution uses a preset marking method to mark the second alarm information that triggers the second alarm sound, which allows users to understand more intuitively the reason for the current triggering of the second alarm sound and provides users with a more intuitive user experience.

[0085] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if the vehicle controller detects that the triggering cause of the second alarm information has been resolved, then clearing the marker of the second alarm information.

[0086] Understandably, if the triggering cause of the second alarm information has been resolved, the second alarm information that was moved up will be restored to its original order, or the bolded second alarm information will be restored to a non-bold form, or the second alarm information whose display color has been changed will be restored to its original display color, or all the second alarm information will be displayed, etc.

[0087] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the fourth type of alarm information display provided in the embodiments of this application. When the triggering cause of alarm information ⑤ is removed, alarm information ⑤ will be restored to its original order.

[0088] Furthermore, the aforementioned alarm information can be categorized into fault-related alarm information and non-fault-related alarm information. For example, fault-related alarm information may include engine malfunction, motor malfunction, etc., while non-fault-related alarm information may include not wearing a seatbelt, not releasing the handbrake, etc. As the triggering function of a non-fault-related alarm information is deactivated, the number of times the trigger button in the upper right corner can be pressed will also change accordingly.

[0089] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), the number of triggers in the upper right corner of the interpretation button corresponding to alarm tone 2 can be the number of alarm messages that have not been cleared by alarm tone 2. That is, when the triggering reason of alarm message ⑤ is cleared, the trigger count is automatically decremented by one, that is, the current trigger count is 1 time; for example, if it is detected that the user has fastened the seat belt at this time, the trigger count is automatically decremented by one, and the current trigger count is updated to 1 time.

[0090] like Figure 5As shown in (b), the number of triggers in the upper right corner of the interpretation button corresponding to alarm tone 2 can also be the number of triggers accumulated during the current power-on cycle of the vehicle. That is to say, even if the triggering cause of alarm information ⑤ is cleared, the number of triggers will still be displayed as 2. However, when the vehicle is powered off, the accumulated number of triggers will be automatically cleared to zero. For example, even if it is detected that the user has fastened the seat belt at this time, the number of triggers will still be displayed as 2, and after the vehicle is powered off, the accumulated number of triggers (which is 2 at this time) will be cleared to zero.

[0091] For fault-related alarm messages, the trigger count will be automatically reset to zero when the vehicle is powered off.

[0092] To avoid users being distracted by processed alarm information, the above technical solution could consider clearing the previous markings on the second alarm information, allowing users to focus more on potential safety hazards in the vehicle and further improving driving safety.

[0093] In some embodiments, if the vehicle controller detects that the user has enabled the alarm sound interpretation function, the method further includes: if no user selection operation on the interpretation button is detected within a preset time period, then the alarm sound interpretation function is disabled.

[0094] Understandably, the aforementioned preset duration can be pre-defined to determine whether the alarm sound interpretation function can be turned off. Optionally, the preset duration can be pre-defined as 3 minutes. If no user selection operation on the interpretation button is detected within 3 minutes, the alarm sound interpretation function will be automatically turned off to reduce resource waste.

[0095] In summary, the alarm information display method provided in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0096] First, after users enable the alarm tone interpretation function, they can clearly and conveniently learn about the different types of alarm tones on the vehicle. This method can significantly improve users' understanding and mastery of vehicle alarm tones. By intuitively displaying the types of alarm tones on the vehicle, users can have a more comprehensive understanding of the vehicle's alarm methods under different conditions, which helps users quickly identify potential safety hazards based on the type of alarm tone and take corresponding countermeasures.

[0097] Secondly, when a user selects any of the explanation buttons corresponding to multiple alarm sounds, the user can understand the alarm information corresponding to that alarm sound in detail, that is, the different reasons that triggered the alarm sound. This method can help users understand the specific reasons that triggered the alarm sound, which not only helps users quickly locate and solve the problems existing in the vehicle, but also improves the user's safe driving to a certain extent, so that users can pay more attention to safety matters in daily driving, thereby effectively preventing potential safety risks.

[0098] Third, by displaying the number of times different types of alarm sounds are triggered, users can understand the type of alarm sound that is currently being triggered, which helps users to more accurately assess the safety status of the vehicle and also helps vehicle maintenance personnel to locate and resolve vehicle faults more quickly.
