Figure 1 FIG. 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 can be a terminal device. In the case where the vehicle is in a near-turning state, a first-stage inflation operation is performed through the seat control system of the vehicle.

In the case where 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 in the case where the vehicle is in a near-turning state, inflation processing can be quickly performed in the case where the vehicle turns, thereby reducing the inflation response duration, enabling the inflatable component on the seat of the vehicle to quickly be in an inflated state to provide support to the occupant, and improving the riding experience of the occupant.

[0030] 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 for more clearly explaining 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.

[0031] The solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are specifically described through the following embodiments. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not serve as a limitation on the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0032] This embodiment will be described from the perspective of the seat control device. The seat control device can be specifically integrated in the controller, and the controller can be a terminal and / or a server, and this application does not make any restrictions here.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 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:

[0034] 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.

[0035] Here, the vehicle refers to a vehicle equipped with a seat control system, and after the inflation operation can be performed based on the seat control system, the inflatable component of the seat is in an inflated state to provide support.

[0036] Here, the state approaching a turn means the state where the vehicle is about to turn but has not yet turned.

[0037] Here, the seat control system is a control system used to improve the comfort and convenience of the vehicle, mainly used to control the vehicle's seat. Controlling the vehicle's seat can 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 having this function.

[0038] Here, 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's seat is in an uninflated state, or an under-inflated state and not sufficient to provide support.

[0039] Here, the inflatable component refers to a component provided in the vehicle's seat, which can be controlled by the seat control system and can be in an uninflated state or an inflated state. When the inflatable component is in an uninflated state or an under-inflated 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 belong to a fully inflated state, or a nearly fully inflated state, or an under-inflated state but sufficient to provide support. The embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Here, the second-stage inflation operation refers to the main operation stage for the seat control system to inflate the inflatable component.

[0042] It should be noted that relying solely on the first-stage inflation operation is not sufficient to put the inflatable component in an inflated state. In the embodiments of the present application, the first-stage inflation operation and the second-stage inflation operation need to be combined to put 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 steering, and the second-stage inflation operation is an inflation operation that occurs when the vehicle is steering.

[0043] 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 close to steering, 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 is steering, 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 put 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 close to steering, rapid inflation processing can be performed when the vehicle is steering, thereby reducing the inflation response duration, enabling the inflatable component on the seat of the vehicle to quickly be in an inflated state to provide support to the occupant, and improving the occupant's riding experience.

[0044] It should be noted that the seat control system includes a gas generation component.

[0045] 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.

[0046] There are 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 implement 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] In this way, when the vehicle is in a state close to steering, the pre-inflation operation can be realized by controlling the gas generation component of the seat control system, and the time from gas generation to the inflatable component successfully being in an inflated state to provide support to the occupant can be reduced when the vehicle is steering subsequently.

[0050] In some embodiments, the process of controlling the gas generating component of the seat control system to operate for the first-stage inflation operation includes: controlling the gas generating component of the seat control system to operate to perform the first-stage inflation operation on a target component in the seat control system.

[0051] Wherein, the target component refers to the component in the seat control system where the gas generated during the first-stage inflation operation is stored.

[0052] That is, controlling the gas generating component of the seat control system to operate 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] In some embodiments, the target component is used to connect the gas generating component and the inflatable component, or the target component includes the inflatable component.

[0055] Specifically, the target component can be a connecting component between the gas generating component and the inflatable component. For example, the target component can be a trachea between an air pump (i.e., the gas generating component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component). Again, for example, the target component can be a trachea between an air pump (i.e., the gas generating component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component), an intermediate storage component (such as an air tank), etc.

[0056] 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 generating component) and an airbag (i.e., the inflatable component), and the airbag.

[0057] 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 sufficient to make the inflatable component in an inflated state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the process of controlling the gas generating component of the seat control system to operate to perform the first-stage inflation operation on a target component in the seat control system can include: controlling the gas generating component of the seat control system to operate to perform the first-stage inflation operation on a 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.

[0059] For example, control the gas generation component of the seat control system to operate to perform a 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 until the gas content in the connecting component meets the preset gas content condition.

[0060] For another example, control the gas generation component of the seat control system to operate to perform a first-stage inflation operation on the target component including the inflatable component in the seat control system, and stop the first-stage inflation operation until the gas content of the target component including the inflatable component meets the preset gas content condition.

[0061] Among them, 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.

[0062] The maximum gas content can be determined based on the capacity of the target component.

[0063] Based on this, when the target component is used to connect the gas generation 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.

[0064] Among them, the maximum capacity refers to the maximum content that the gas can reach in the target component.

[0065] 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 generation component and the inflatable component and the current gas capacity of the target component has reached 0.5 liters, stop the first-stage inflation operation.

[0066] Based on this, when the target component includes the 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.

[0067] Among them, 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.

[0068] 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 the 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. 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.

[0069] Among them, the control switch refers to a control switch that controls the compressed gas generated by the gas generating component to flow from the target component to the inflatable component.

[0070] 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 inflatable component through the control switch.

[0071] Among them, the manifestation form of the control switch has various types, which can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations. For example, the control switch is a control valve.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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 turns, control the control switch to be in the open state, control the gas generated by the gas generating component to flow 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 in the inflated state of the inflatable component.

[0075] 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.

[0076] In some embodiments, the inflatable component may include a first inflatable component that implements the side wing function of the seat, and / or a second inflatable component that implements the lumbar support function of the seat.

[0077] Among them, the side wing function refers to the function of providing lateral support for the occupant on the seat through the side wings of the vehicle seat. Especially when the vehicle is turning or driving at high speed, the side wing function helps to fix the passenger's body and reduce lateral movement. Among them, the side wings of the seat refer to the protruding parts on both sides of the seat, usually located on both sides of the seat backrest.

[0078] The first inflatable component refers to an inflatable component that implements the side wing function of the seat. Through the first inflatable component, the side wings of the seat can be controlled to provide support to the occupant.

[0079] Among them, the lumbar support function refers to the function of providing lumbar support for the occupant on the seat through the lumbar support of the vehicle seat, which is used to relieve the lumbar fatigue of the occupant and improve the riding comfort. Among them, the lumbar support of the seat refers to the part of the seat backrest used to support the lumbar region, usually located at the lower part of the seat backrest.

[0080] The second inflatable component refers to an inflatable component that implements the lumbar support function of the seat.

[0081] 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. For another example, the inflatable component includes a first inflatable component and a second inflatable component. For another example, 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 a plurality of inflatable components corresponding to the side wings of the seat, and the specific can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0082] When the inflatable component includes a first inflatable component and a second inflatable component, the number of target components can be multiple.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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 a first-stage inflation operation through the target component. It is connected to an inflatable component through each output port so that the target component inflates the connected first inflatable component and / or second inflatable component in a second-stage inflation operation.

[0085] 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.

[0086] 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 may 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.

[0087] Exemplarily, the gas generating component of the seat control system can be controlled to work to perform the 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 off state to control the gas generated by the gas generating component not to enter the first inflatable component through the first target component through the off control switch. When the control switch of the first target component is in the on state, the second-stage inflation operation can be performed on the first inflatable component through the first target component.

[0088] Exemplarily, the gas generating component of the seat control system can be controlled to work to perform the 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 off state to control the gas generated by the gas generating component not to enter the second inflatable component through the second target component through the off control switch. When the control switch of the second target component is in the on state, the second-stage inflation operation can be performed on the second inflatable component through the second target component.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is turning, lateral support is provided by the first inflatable component in the inflated state to implement the wing 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] Among them, the driving data refers to the data obtained during the driving process of the vehicle.

[0092] The driving data may include the data obtained during the current driving process and / or the data obtained within a period of time during the current driving process.

[0093] The content included in the driving data can be various, and it can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation. The embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions.

[0094] 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.

[0095] Among them, the motion information refers to the information related to the motion of the vehicle. The motion information of the vehicle includes, but is not limited to, the speed of the vehicle, the acceleration of the vehicle, the current position of the vehicle, the steering angle of the vehicle, etc., and it can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation. The embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions.

[0096] Among them, the environmental perception data refers to the relevant data of the environment in which the vehicle is located during the driving process. 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 driving process of the vehicle, the signs on the route where the vehicle is located (such as road signs, street sign signs, etc.), etc., and it can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation. The embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions.

[0097] In some embodiments, the environmental perception data includes at least one of radar detection data and visual detection data.

[0098] 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 may include millimeter-wave radar, lidar, etc., and no restrictions are made here.

[0099] 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, or infrared devices, etc., and no restrictions are made here.

[0100] It should be noted that there are various ways to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state, and it can be specifically adjusted according to the specific content of the driving data. The embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions.

[0101] In some embodiments, the process of determining whether a vehicle is in a near-turning state based on 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.

[0102] Wherein, 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, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions. For example, the future period of time is 2 seconds after the current moment, or 1 second after the current moment.

[0103] There are various ways to determine whether a vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the future driving data, and it can be specifically adjusted according to the actual situation. The embodiments of the present application do not make any restrictions.

[0104] In some embodiments, determining whether a 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.

[0105] Specifically, when the future driving data indicates that the vehicle will pass through a steerable position in the future and the time required for the vehicle 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.

[0106] In some embodiments, determining whether a 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 needs to turn.

[0107] 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.

[0108] Wherein, 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; determining whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state based on the target time.

[0109] Wherein, the target time refers to the time required for the vehicle to turn determined based on the future driving data.

[0110] The above future driving data includes at least two types, and the target times determined based on different future driving data are different.

[0111] For example, if the future driving data includes the steering position determined based on the motion information of the vehicle and the steering position determined based on the radar detection data of the vehicle, the target time may include the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the motion information of the vehicle and the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the radar detection data of the vehicle.

[0112] For another example, if the future driving data includes the steering position determined based on the motion information of the vehicle, the steering position determined based on the visual detection data of the vehicle, and the steering position determined based on the radar detection data of the vehicle, the target time may include at least two of the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the motion information of the vehicle, the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the visual detection data of the vehicle, and the time required to reach the steering position determined based on the radar detection data of the vehicle.

[0113] In this way, the target time can be determined from multiple perspectives to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-steering state based on the target time, improving the recognition accuracy of whether the vehicle is in a near-steering state, and thus improving the accuracy of the inflation operation control of the seat control system.

[0114] Since there are multiple target times, there are multiple ways to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-steering state based on the multiple target times, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0115] In some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the vehicle is in a near-steering state based on the average time among at least two target times.

[0116] 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-steering state.

[0117] In some embodiments, it is also possible to determine the minimum target time among at least two target times and determine whether the vehicle is in a near-steering state based on this minimum target time.

[0118] 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, the minimum target time is 2 seconds.

[0119] Specifically, when the minimum target time is not greater than a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a near-steering state.

[0120] The preset time threshold can be set manually, or based on empirical values, or based on experimental values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0121] For example, the preset time threshold is set to 2 seconds. For another example, the preset time threshold is set to any value within (2 seconds, 3 seconds).

[0122] In some embodiments, when the minimum target time is greater than a preset time threshold, the step of obtaining the driving data of the vehicle is returned. Specifically, when the minimum target time is greater than the preset time threshold, the step of obtaining the driving data of the vehicle is returned, and new driving data of the vehicle is continuously obtained. According to the new driving data, it is continuously determined whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

For another example, based on the driving data, predict the future driving data of the vehicle; based on the future driving data, determine whether the vehicle is in a near-turning state.

Among them, the driving data can include various data, such as the motion information of the vehicle and the environmental perception data of the vehicle, etc.

[0153] To facilitate the understanding of the above-mentioned seat control system and the above-mentioned seat control method, the following will be explained with a specific embodiment.

[0154] 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 Figure 3 shown, the seat control system includes an air pump (i.e., a gas generating component), an air pipe (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 the domain control (which can be understood as a central control processor, or the vehicle's driving control computer, which processes information from each subsystem and then issues operation instructions, or the vehicle's main control system). Among them, Figure 3 the curve around the air pipe in Figure 3 is the general drawing method in the industry, and its meaning is that the length of the air pipe is not limited to the length shown in

[0155] The existing seat control systems usually use large air pumps to supply air and are equipped with air storage tanks to maintain high pressure. However, high pressure requires a pressure reducing valve to reduce the pressure and may cause condensate water to appear inside the air circuit. The condensate water entering 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.

[0156] In contrast, the embodiments of the present application propose an improved seat control system. The air pump assembly of the 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 paths, and supplying air to the air bags on the side wings and the lumbar support through control valves respectively. The output air pressure is a low pressure of 2 - 3 bar, and no condensate 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 build-up time and can boost the gas pressure of 200 ml to more than 2 bar within 2 seconds, directly supplying air to the air bags through the control valves, thus simplifying the control strategy.

[0157] Between the air pump and the control valve, they are connected through an air pipe assembly (i.e., multiple air pipes connected to the air bags). Since the air pump assembly is located in the trunk and is far from the seat, the total length of the bending path of the 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 air bags 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 a strategy of predicting the turning time in advance, the air pump is started 2 seconds in advance to inflate when steering or accelerating, thus shortening the response time of the side wings and the lumbar support, enhancing the reaction speed of the side wings, and improving the functional experience and comfort.

[0158] According to Figure 3 the seat control system shown, the seat control method shown in Figure 4 can be used. This method collects the motion information of the vehicle (such as navigation information, steering wheel steering information, etc.), measurement and control radar information, and visual recognition information through the existing vehicle infotainment system. The domain controller uses the above information to calculate the steering information and speed of the vehicle in advance. Within the time period of 2 to 3 seconds before the vehicle's turning 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 air bags) 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 air bags are not inflated yet. When the vehicle needs to activate the side wing or lumbar support function, the control valve opens, and the compressed gas fills the air bags corresponding to the side wings and the lumbar support within about 1 to 2 seconds, thus playing a protective role.

[0159] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure, first, motion information is extracted to predict in advance the vehicle driving parameters (including speed, acceleration, distance, route, steering position, etc.). The time required to reach the current steering or U-turn position is calculated based on speed, acceleration, route, turning position, and distance, which is the first time T1. The road conditions, vehicles, road signs, etc. ahead are recognized through a vision camera. When the vision recognition indicates a curve, U-turn, etc., the time to reach the point is calculated through a measurement and control radar or the identification distance symbol, which is the second time T2. The positions of curves, potholes, vehicles, obstacles, etc. ahead are detected through a measurement and control radar. The time to reach the point is calculated by measuring the distance and azimuth and combining with the vehicle speed, which is the third time T3. Among them, the processes 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 starts working in advance, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When the vehicle reaches the position and receives the vehicle-mounted signal that the steering mechanism starts to turn and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, enabling the side wing to respond in a timely manner and achieving a support effect. When the second time T2 is greater than the preset time threshold, it is started preferentially 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 working immediately with the second time T2 as the priority, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When the vehicle receives the vehicle-mounted signal that the steering mechanism starts to turn and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, enabling the side wing to respond in a timely manner and achieving a support effect. When the third time T3 is greater than the preset time threshold, it is started preferentially 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 working, filling the air pipe assembly with gas. When the vehicle receives the vehicle-mounted signal that the steering mechanism starts to turn and the vehicle speed reaches the predetermined speed, the side wing electromagnetic valve opens, and the airbag inflates, enabling the side wing to respond in a timely manner and achieving a support effect.

[0160] 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, 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, 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 starting the air pump to work with the shortest time to reach the preset time threshold; when either 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 circuit, so as to respond to the flank work in time, improve the flank response speed, and enhance the experience and comfort of the flank function.

The meanings of the nouns are the same as those in the above seat control method, and the specific implementation details can refer to the description in the method embodiments.

[0162] For example, as Figure 6 shown, the seat control device may include a first inflation module 201 and a second inflation module 202, specifically as follows:

[0172] In some embodiments, 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.

[0173] In some embodiments, when the target component includes the 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, where the preset capacity is less than the maximum capacity of the inflatable component. 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 means of the closed control switch.

[0206] The embodiment of the present application further provides a controller, as Figure 7 shown, which shows a schematic structural diagram of the controller involved in the embodiment of the present application. Specifically:

[0207] The controller may include a processor 301 with one or more processing cores, a memory 302 with one or more storage media, a power supply 303, an input unit 304 and other components. Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 7 the controller structure shown in

[0208] does not constitute a limitation on the controller, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine some components, or arrange different components. Among them:

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 in the case where the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, rapid inflation processing can be performed in the case where the vehicle turns, thereby reducing the inflation response duration, enabling the inflatable component on the vehicle's seat to quickly be in an inflated state to provide support to the occupant, and enhancing the occupant's riding experience.

[0216] For the specific implementation manners of the above operations and the corresponding beneficial effects, reference can be made to the detailed description of the seat control method above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0217] Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in the various methods of the above embodiments can be completed by a computer program or by controlling related hardware through a computer program. The computer program can be stored in a storage medium and loaded and executed by a processor.

[0218] For this reason, an embodiment of the present application provides a storage medium storing a computer program that can be loaded by a processor to execute the steps in any one of the seat control methods provided by the embodiments of the present application. For example, the computer program can execute the following steps:

[0219] In the case where the vehicle is in a state approaching a turn, perform a first-stage inflation operation through the seat control system of the vehicle, where the seat control system includes an inflatable component on the seat of the vehicle;

[0220] In the case where the vehicle makes a turn, 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.
