The seat control device can be integrated in the controller, and the controller can be a server or a device such as a terminal. The seat control device can also be integrated in the seat control system, and the seat control system can be a server or a device such as a terminal.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1, taking the integration of the seat control device into the controller as an example, Figure 1 FIG. 60 is a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario of the seat control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the controller may be a terminal device. When the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, a first-stage inflation operation is performed through the vehicle's seat control system. The seat control system includes an inflatable component on the vehicle's seat. When the vehicle turns, a second-stage inflation operation is performed through the seat control system. The first-stage inflation operation and the second-stage inflation operation are used to make the inflatable component in an inflated state to provide support. Based on this, by performing pre-inflation processing when the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, rapid inflation processing can be performed when the vehicle turns, thereby reducing the inflation response duration, enabling the inflatable component on the vehicle's seat to quickly enter the inflated state to provide support to the occupant, and improving the occupant's riding experience.

[0019] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the implementation environment scenario of the seat control method shown is only an example. The implementation environment scenario of the seat control method described in the embodiments of the present application is to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those of ordinary skill in the art know that with the evolution of data processing and the emergence of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0020] The solution provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described through the following embodiments. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0021] This embodiment will be described from the perspective of the seat control device. The seat control device may be specifically integrated into the controller, and the controller may be a terminal and / or a server, which is not limited herein in the present application.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 70 is a flowchart of a seat control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The seat control method may include the following steps S101 to step S102: Step S101, when the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, perform a first-stage inflation operation through the vehicle's seat control system, where the seat control system includes an inflatable component on the vehicle's seat.

[0023] Among them, the vehicle refers to a vehicle configured with a seat control system, and after the inflatable operation can be performed based on the seat control system, the inflatable component of the seat is in an inflated state to provide support.

[0024] Among them, the near-turning state refers to the state where the vehicle is about to turn but has not yet turned.

[0025] Among them, the seat control system is a control system used to improve the comfort and convenience of the vehicle, mainly used to control the seats of the vehicle. Controlling the seats of the vehicle may include, but is not limited to, seat position adjustment (such as front-back adjustment, height adjustment, backrest angle adjustment, etc.), seat heating and ventilation functions, seat massage functions, seat inflation functions, etc. The embodiments of the present application mainly relate to the seat inflation function, but do not limit the seat control system to only have this function.

[0026] Among them, the first-stage inflation operation refers to the pre-inflation state of the seat control system. During the first-stage inflation operation, the inflatable component on the vehicle seat is in an uninflated state, or in an underinflated state and not sufficient to provide support.

[0027] Among them, the inflatable component refers to a component provided in the vehicle seat and controlled by the seat control system, which can be in an uninflated state or an inflated state. When the inflatable component is in an uninflated state or an underinflated state, the inflatable component is not sufficient to provide support for the occupant. When the inflatable component is in an inflated state, the inflatable component is sufficient to provide support for the occupant. It should be noted that the inflated state refers to the state of measuring whether the inflatable component can provide support for the occupant. It can be a fully inflated state, or a nearly fully inflated state, or an underinflated state but sufficient to provide support. The embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0028] Step S102, when the vehicle turns, perform a second-stage inflation operation through the seat control system. The first-stage inflation operation and the second-stage inflation operation are used to make the inflatable component in an inflated state to provide support.

[0029] Among them, the second-stage inflation operation refers to the main operation stage for the seat control system to inflate the inflatable component.

[0030] It should be noted that relying only on the first-stage inflation operation is not sufficient to make the inflatable component in an inflated state. The embodiments of the present application need to combine the first-stage inflation operation and the second-stage inflation operation to make the inflatable component in an inflated state to provide support. Among them, the first-stage inflation operation is a pre-inflation operation that occurs before turning, and the second-stage inflation operation is an inflation operation that occurs when the vehicle turns.

[0031] It can be seen from this that in the seat control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, the first-stage inflation operation is performed through the seat control system of the vehicle. Among them, the seat control system includes an inflatable component on the seat of the vehicle; when the vehicle makes a turn, the second-stage inflation operation is performed through the seat control system. The first-stage inflation operation and the second-stage inflation operation are used to make the inflatable component in an inflated state to provide support. Based on this, by performing pre-inflation processing when the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, rapid inflation processing can be performed when the vehicle makes a turn, thereby reducing the inflation response time, enabling the inflatable component on the vehicle seat to quickly enter the inflated state to provide support to the occupant, and improving the occupant's riding experience. It should be noted that the seat control system includes a gas generation component.

[0032] Among them, the gas generation component refers to a component in the seat control system that is used to implement the inflation function of the seat. The inflation functions of the seat include side wing inflation, lumbar support inflation, etc.

[0033] There can be various ways for the gas generation component to generate gas, which can be specifically determined according to the actual type and characteristics of the gas generation component. For example, the gas generation component includes an air pump, and the air pump is driven by a motor to compress air and send it into the airbag of the seat to achieve the inflation function of the seat. Another example is that the gas generation component includes a hydraulic system, and the hydraulic system realizes the inflation of the seat airbag through the pressure transmission of hydraulic oil.

[0034] In some embodiments, the process of performing the first-stage inflation operation through the seat control system of the vehicle may include: controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation.

[0035] Specifically, control the air pump or hydraulic system or other gas generation components in the seat control system to work to perform the pre-inflation operation.

[0036] In this way, when the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, the pre-inflation operation can be realized by controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work, reducing the time from gas generation to the inflatable component successfully entering the inflated state to provide support to the occupant when the vehicle makes a turn subsequently.

[0037] In some embodiments, the process of controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation includes: controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation on the target component in the seat control system.

[0038] Among them, the target component refers to the component in the seat control system where the gas generated during the first-stage inflation operation is stored.

[0039] That is, control the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation, and the compressed gas generated during the first-stage inflation operation is stored in the target component of the seat control system.

[0040] The specific content of the target component can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the seat control system, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit it.

[0041] In some embodiments, the target component is used to connect the gas generation component and the inflatable component, or the target component includes the inflatable component.

[0042] Specifically, the target component can be a connecting component between the gas generation component and the inflatable component. For example, the target component can be a trachea between an air pump (i.e., the gas generation component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component). Another example is that the target component can be a trachea between an air pump (i.e., the gas generation component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component), an intermediate storage component (such as an air tank), etc.

[0043] Specifically, the target component can also include the inflatable component. For example, the target component can include a trachea between an air pump (i.e., the gas generation component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component), and the airbag.

[0044] It should be noted that since the target component includes the inflatable component, during the process of performing the first-stage inflation operation, the inflatable component can contain compressed gas inside, but the compressed gas it contains is not enough to make the inflatable component in an inflated state.

[0045] In some embodiments, the process of controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation on the target component in the seat control system may include: controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation on the target component in the seat control system, and stopping the first-stage inflation operation when the gas content in the target component meets the preset gas content condition.

[0046] For example, control the gas generation component of the seat control system to work to perform the first-stage inflation operation on the connecting component between the gas generation component and the inflatable component in the seat control system, and stop the first-stage inflation operation when the gas content in the connecting component meets the preset gas content condition.

[0047] For another example, the gas generating component of the seat control system is controlled to operate to perform a first-stage inflation operation on the target component including the inflatable component in the seat control system until the gas content of the target component including the inflatable component meets the preset gas content condition, and then the first-stage inflation operation is stopped.

[0048] Wherein, the preset gas content condition refers to the maximum gas content that can be achieved by performing the first-stage inflation operation on the target component in the seat control system.

[0049] The maximum gas content can be determined based on the capacity of the target component.

[0050] Based on this, when the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the inflatable component, the preset gas content condition is used to indicate that the gas content of the target component is equal to the maximum capacity of the target component.

[0051] Wherein, the maximum capacity refers to the maximum content that the gas can reach in the target component.

[0052] For example, the maximum capacity of the target component is 0.5 liters, and the preset gas content condition means that the gas content of the target component is equal to 0.5 liters. That is, when the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the inflatable component, and the current gas capacity of the target component has reached 0.5 liters, the first-stage inflation operation is stopped.

[0053] Based on this, when the target component includes an inflatable component, the preset gas content condition is used to indicate that the gas content of the inflatable component is less than the preset capacity of the inflatable component, and the preset capacity is less than the maximum capacity of the inflatable component.

[0054] Wherein, the preset capacity is used to indicate the maximum content that the gas can reach in the inflatable component when performing the first-stage inflation operation. The maximum capacity of the inflatable component refers to the maximum content that the gas can reach in the inflatable component.

[0055] For example, the maximum capacity of the inflatable component is 0.5 liters, the preset capacity can be 0.4 liters, and the preset gas content condition means that the gas content of the inflatable component is less than 0.4 liters. That is, when the target component includes an inflatable component, and the current gas capacity of the inflatable component is greater than or equal to 0.4 liters, the first-stage inflation operation is stopped. In some embodiments, when the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the inflatable component, the target component further includes a control switch, and during the first-stage inflation operation, the control switch is in the closed state to control the gas generated by the gas generating component not to enter the inflatable component through the target component by the closed control switch. Wherein, the control switch refers to the control switch that controls the compressed gas generated by the gas generating component to flow from the target component to the inflatable component.

[0056] When the control switch is in the closed state, the compressed gas generated by the gas generating component can only be stored in the target component and cannot flow to the inflatable component. When the control switch is in the open state, the compressed gas generated by the gas generating component can flow from the target component to the control switch of the inflatable component.

[0057] Among them, the control switch has various forms, which can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit it. For example, the control switch is a control valve.

[0058] In some embodiments, the process of performing the second-stage inflation operation through the seat control system may include: controlling the control switch to be in the open state to perform the second-stage inflation operation on the inflatable component through the target component.

[0059] Among them, when the control switch is in the open state, the gas generated by the gas generating component flows through the target component to the inflatable component to perform the second-stage inflation operation.

[0060] It should be noted that during the process of performing the second-stage inflation operation, the gas generating component can continue to generate gas. That is, when the vehicle is turning, control the control switch to be in the open state, the gas generated by the gas generating component flows through the target component to the inflatable component, and control the gas generating component to continue to generate gas, and further flow through the target component to the inflatable component, so that the gas content contained in the inflatable component reaches the gas content when the inflatable component is in the inflated state.

[0061] Based on this, combining the above first-stage inflation operation and the above second-stage inflation operation, so that the compressed gas generated by the gas generating component can flow to the control switch of the inflatable component, and make the inflatable component in the inflated state to provide support for the occupant on the seat.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inflatable component may include a first inflatable component that realizes the flank function of the seat, and / or a second inflatable component that realizes the lumbar support function of the seat.

[0063] Among them, the flank function refers to the function of providing lateral support for the occupant on the seat through the flanks of the vehicle seat. Especially when the vehicle is turning or driving at high speed, the flank function is used to help fix the passenger's body and reduce lateral movement. Among them. The flanks of the seat refer to the raised parts on both sides of the seat, usually located on both sides of the seat back.

[0064] The first inflatable component refers to an inflatable component that realizes the flank function of the seat, and the flank of the seat can be controlled to provide support for the occupant through the first inflatable component.

[0065] Among them, the lumbar support function refers to the function of providing lumbar support for the occupants on the seat through the lumbar support of the vehicle seat, which is used to relieve the lumbar fatigue of the occupants and improve the riding comfort. Among them, the lumbar support of the seat refers to the part in the seat backrest used to support the lumbar region, usually located at the lower part of the seat backrest.

[0066] The second inflatable component refers to the inflatable component that realizes the lumbar support function of the seat.

[0067] It should be noted that the number of inflatable components can be one or more. For example, the inflatable component includes a first inflatable component. Another example is that the inflatable component includes a first inflatable component and a second inflatable component. Another example is that the inflatable component includes a plurality of first inflatable components and a plurality of second inflatable components. When the number of inflatable components is multiple, they can be of the same type, such as the multiple inflatable components corresponding to the seat flanks, and their specific values can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] When the inflatable component includes a first inflatable component and a second inflatable component, the number of target components can be multiple.

[0069] Specifically, the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the first inflatable component, and the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the second inflatable component.

[0070] Exemplarily, the target component can be an intermediate component located between the inflatable component and the gas generating component, and it can have at least one input port and a plurality of output ports. It is connected to the gas generating component through the input port so that the gas generated by the gas generating component undergoes the first-stage inflation operation through the target component. Each output port is connected to an inflatable component so that the target component inflates the connected first inflatable component and / or second inflatable component in the second-stage inflation operation.

[0071] Alternatively, the target component includes a first target component and a second target component. The first target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the first inflatable component, and the second target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the second inflatable component.

[0072] Based on this, the process of controlling the control switch to be in the on state to perform the second-stage inflation operation on the inflatable component through the target component can include: controlling the control switch of the first target component to be in the on state to perform the second-stage inflation operation on the first inflatable component through the first target component; controlling the control switch of the second target component to be in the on state to perform the second-stage inflation operation on the second inflatable component through the second target component.

[0073] Exemplarily, the gas generation component of the seat control system can be controlled to operate to perform a first-stage inflation operation on the first target component until the gas content in the first target component meets the preset gas content condition, and then the first-stage inflation operation is stopped. During the first-stage inflation operation, the control switch corresponding to the first target component is in the closed state, so as to control the gas generated by the gas generation component not to enter the first inflatable component through the first target component by means of the control switch in the closed state. And when the control switch of the first target component is in the open state, a second-stage inflation operation can be performed on the first inflatable component through the first target component.

[0074] Exemplarily, the gas generation component of the seat control system can be controlled to operate to perform a first-stage inflation operation on the second target component until the gas content in the second target component meets the preset gas content condition, and then the first-stage inflation operation is stopped. During the first-stage inflation operation, the control switch corresponding to the second target component is in the closed state, so as to control the gas generated by the gas generation component not to enter the second inflatable component through the second target component by means of the control switch in the closed state. And when the control switch of the second target component is in the open state, a second-stage inflation operation can be performed on the second inflatable component through the second target component.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is turning, lateral support is provided by the first inflatable component in the inflated state to implement the flank function of the seat, and / or lumbar support is provided by the second inflatable component in the inflated state to implement the lumbar function of the seat.

[0076] In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state may include: obtaining the driving data of the vehicle; and determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the driving data.

[0077] Wherein, the driving data refers to the data obtained during the driving process of the vehicle.

[0078] The driving data may include the data obtained during the current driving process and / or the data obtained during a period of time of the current driving process.

[0079] The content included in the driving data can be various, and it can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0080] In some embodiments, the driving data includes at least one of the motion information of the vehicle and the environmental perception data of the vehicle.

[0081] Among them, the motion information refers to the information related to the vehicle's motion. The vehicle's motion information includes, but is not limited to, the vehicle's speed, acceleration, current position, steering angle, etc., and can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0082] Among them, the environmental perception data refers to the relevant data of the environment in which the vehicle is located during driving. The environmental perception data includes, but is not limited to, the route where the vehicle is located, the steerable positions on the route where the vehicle is located (such as curves or U-turn positions), the obstacles encountered during the vehicle's driving, the signs on the route where the vehicle is located (such as road signs, street sign marks, etc.), etc., and can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0083] In some embodiments, the environmental perception data includes at least one of radar detection data and visual detection data.

[0084] Among them, the radar detection data refers to the data detected by the radar for the environment in which the vehicle is located. The radar can include millimeter-wave radar, lidar, etc., which is not limited here.

[0085] Among them, the visual detection data refers to the data detected by the visual detection device for the environment in which the vehicle is located. The visual detection device includes, but is not limited to, cameras, infrared devices, etc., which is not limited here.

[0086] It should be noted that there are various ways to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state, and it can be adjusted according to the specific content of the driving data, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] In some embodiments, the process of determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the driving data may include: predicting the future driving data of the vehicle based on the driving data; determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the future driving data.

[0088] Among them, the future driving data refers to the predicted driving data of the vehicle within a future period of time. The future period of time can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the future period of time is 2 seconds after the current moment, or 1 second after the current moment.

[0089] There are various ways to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the future driving data, and it can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0090] In some embodiments, determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the future driving data may include: determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle will pass through a steerable position in the future.

[0091] Specifically, when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle will pass through a steerable position in the future and the time required to pass through the steerable position in the future is less than a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a near-turning state; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not in a near-turning state.

[0092] In some embodiments, determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the future driving data may include: when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle needs to turn, determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

[0093] Specifically, when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle needs to turn and the time required for the vehicle to turn is less than a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a near-turning state; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not in a near-turning state.

[0094] Among them, the process of determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle needs to turn may include: when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle needs to turn, determining the target time required for the vehicle to turn based on the future driving data; and determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the target time.

[0095] Among them, the target time refers to the time required for the vehicle to turn determined based on the future driving data.

[0096] The above future driving data includes at least two types, and the target times determined based on different future driving data are different.

[0097] For example, if the future driving data includes the steering position determined based on the vehicle's motion information and the steering position determined based on the vehicle's radar detection data, the target time may include the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the vehicle's motion information and the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the vehicle's radar detection data.

[0098] Another example, if the future driving data includes the steering position determined based on the vehicle's motion information, the steering position determined based on the vehicle's visual detection data, and the steering position determined based on the vehicle's radar detection data, the target time may include at least two of the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the vehicle's motion information, the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the vehicle's visual detection data, and the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the vehicle's radar detection data.

[0099] In this way, the target time can be determined from multiple perspectives, and based on the target time, it can be judged whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state, improving the recognition accuracy of whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state, and thus improving the accuracy of the inflation operation control of the seat control system.

[0100] Since there are multiple target times, there are multiple ways to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state according to the multiple target times, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0101] In some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the average time among at least two target times.

[0102] Specifically, when the average time among at least two target times is not greater than a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

[0103] In some embodiments, it is also possible to determine the minimum target time among at least two target times, and based on this minimum target time, determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

[0104] Wherein, the minimum target time refers to the time with the smallest value among at least two target times. For example, if there are two target times of 2 seconds and 3 seconds, then the minimum target time is 2 seconds.

[0105] Specifically, when the minimum target time is not greater than a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

[0106] Wherein, the preset time threshold can be set manually, or set according to empirical values, or set according to experimental values, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0107] For example, the preset time threshold is set to 2 seconds. Or, for example, the preset time threshold is set to any value within (2 seconds, 3 seconds).

[0108] In some embodiments, when the minimum target time is greater than the preset time threshold, return to execute the step of obtaining the driving data of the vehicle. Specifically, when the minimum target time is greater than the preset time threshold, return to execute the step of obtaining the driving data of the vehicle, continue to obtain new driving data of the vehicle, and based on the new driving data, continue to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

[0136] To facilitate the understanding of the above seat control system and the above seat control method, a specific embodiment will be used for explanation below.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a seat control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3 , the seat control system includes an air pump (i.e., a gas generating component), an air tube (i.e., a target component), an airbag (i.e., an inflatable component), a control valve (i.e., a control switch), and an electrical structure. Among them, the seat control system is connected to a domain controller (which can be understood as a central control processor, or a vehicle driving control computer, which processes information from each subsystem and then issues operation instructions, or the main control system of the vehicle). Among them, Figure 3 the curve around the air tube is a common drawing method in the industry, and its meaning is that the length of the air tube is not limited to the length shown in Figure 3 . That is to say, the length of the air tube can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any restrictions.

[0138] Existing seat control systems usually use a large air pump to supply air and are equipped with an air storage tank to maintain high pressure. However, high pressure requires a pressure reducing valve to reduce the pressure and may cause condensate water inside the air circuit. The entry of condensate water into the seat system will affect its service life and comfort, so a dryer is needed to dry the gas. This structure results in a complex entire seat system, large body space occupation, and high cost.

[0139] In contrast, the embodiment of the present application proposes an improved seat control system. The air pump assembly of this system consists of one or more air pumps and is installed in an assembly box. Two three-way valves are independently connected to the two air pumps respectively, outputting two air circuits, and supplying air to the airbags on the side wings and the lumbar support through the control valves respectively. The output air pressure is a low pressure of 2-3 bar, and no condensate water will be generated during low-pressure discharge, so there is no need for a pressure reducing valve and a drying system. In addition, the air pump assembly has a fast pressure building time and can increase the gas pressure of 200 ml to more than 2 bar within 2 seconds, directly supplying air to the airbag through the control valve, thus simplifying the control strategy.

[0140] Between the air pump and the control valve, it is connected through an air tube assembly (i.e., multiple air tubes connected to the airbag). Since the air pump assembly is located in the trunk and is far from the seat, the total length of the bent air path is about 9 meters, resulting in serious air loss. When the side wings and the lumbar support respond, the air pump needs to start and inflate the airbag to a predetermined air pressure, which takes a long time, making the effects of the side wings and the lumbar support not obvious during the driving process, especially with a slow reaction speed when cornering. To solve this problem, through the strategy control of predicting the turning time in advance, the air pump is started 2 seconds in advance to inflate when turning or accelerating, thereby shortening the response time of the side wings and the lumbar support, improving the reaction speed of the side wings, and enhancing the functional experience and comfort.

[0141] According to Figure 3 the seat control system shown in Figure 4The disclosed seat control method. This method collects the vehicle's motion information (such as navigation information, steering wheel steering information, etc.), measurement and control radar information, and visual recognition information through the existing in-vehicle system. The domain controller uses the above information to calculate the vehicle's steering information and speed in advance. Within the time period of 2 to 3 seconds before the vehicle's steering action (this preset time threshold can be adjusted according to the actual situation), the domain controller sends a signal to start the air pump in advance, filling the air pipe assembly (i.e., multiple air pipes connected to the airbag) with compressed gas. The air pump remains in the working state, and at this time, the control valve is in the closed state, and the airbag is not inflated. When the vehicle needs to activate the side wing or lumbar support function, the control valve opens, and the compressed gas fills the airbags corresponding to the side wing and lumbar support within about 1 to 2 seconds, thus playing a protective role.

[0142] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, first, extract the motion information to predict the vehicle's driving parameters in advance (including speed, acceleration, distance, route, steering position, etc.). Calculate the time required to reach the current steering or U-turn position, which is the first time T1, based on the speed, acceleration, route, turning position, and distance. Identify the road conditions, vehicles, road signs, etc. ahead through the visual camera. When the visual recognition indicates a curve, U-turn, etc., calculate the arrival time at the point through the measurement and control radar or the distance symbol of the identification, which is the second time T2. Detect the position of the curve ahead, potholes, slopes, vehicles, obstacles, etc. through the measurement and control radar, calculate the arrival time at the point by measuring its distance and azimuth and combining with the vehicle speed, and this time is the third time T3. Among them, the process of calculating the first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When a time threshold is set to 2S, when the first time T1 is 2 seconds, it is predicted that it is about to reach the steering or U-turn position, and the air pump works in advance, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When receiving the in-vehicle signal that the steering mechanism starts to steer and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed at the arrival position, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, achieving timely response of the side wing and reaching the support effect. When the second time T2 is greater than the preset time threshold, it is preferentially started when the preset time threshold is reached first among T1 and T2. When the second time T2 is equal to or less than the preset time threshold, the air pump starts to work immediately with the second time T2 as the priority, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When receiving the in-vehicle signal that the steering mechanism starts to steer and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, achieving timely response of the side wing and reaching the support effect. When the third time T3 is greater than the preset time threshold, it is preferentially started when the preset time threshold is reached first among the first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3. When the third time T3 is equal to or less than 2 seconds, the shorter time among the second time T2 and the third time T3 is the priority, the air pump starts to work, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When receiving the in-vehicle signal that the steering mechanism starts to steer and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, achieving timely response of the side wing and reaching the support effect.

[0143] Through the above three methods, through domain control comprehensive recognition, calculation and judgment, compare the lengths of the first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 with the preset time threshold to determine whether to start the air pump in advance to respond to the pre-inflation of the flank function. Preferably, the first time T1 triggered by the vehicle's motion information is a continuous process. Without the trigger of the second time T2 and the third time T3, the first time T1 will be used to predict starting the air pump to work and inflate before the preset time threshold; at the same time, when the vision system triggers the second time T2 according to road conditions, road signs, vehicles, and obstacles, or when the measurement and control radar system calculates and triggers the third time T3 according to the position of the front bend, potholes, vehicles, and obstacles; then use the first time T1, the second time T2, the third time T3, and the time threshold of 2S to predict when to start the air pump to work; when the first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 are all greater than the preset time threshold, then more preferably, predict to start the air pump to work at the shortest time to reach the preset time threshold; when the second time T2 or the third time T3 is shorter than the preset time threshold, it is a priority situation, and use the shortest time among the second time T2 and the third time T3 to predict to immediately start inflating to fill the entire air path, so as to respond to the flank work in time, improve the flank reaction speed, and enhance the experience and comfort of the flank function.
