The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. On the contrary, they are only examples of the devices and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0039] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are only functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0040] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only exemplary illustrations, not necessarily including all contents and operations / steps, nor necessarily executed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined. Therefore, the actual execution order may be changed according to the actual situation.

[0041] As used in this application, "a plurality of" means two or more. " / or" describes the relationship between associated objects and indicates that three relationships can exist. For example, A / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0042] Currently, in the intelligent cockpit system, most vehicle screens do not display the interface of the network signal strength. Among the vehicles with the interface display of the network signal strength, there is also no function to prompt the network signal strength for external interactions such as cellular and satellite. Users cannot directly know the current network status through the prompt function. Based on this:

[0043] Figure 1 The flowchart of the first embodiment of the cockpit network signal strength prompt method provided by this application is shown. This method is executed by the TBOX. Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S110: When at least one connectable network signal source at the target position of the vehicle is detected, obtain the network signal strength of each connectable network signal source, and determine the connectable network signal source with the strongest network signal strength as the target network signal source corresponding to the target position.

[0045] Among them, the TBOX refers to the intelligent in-vehicle terminal in the vehicle networking system. The target position is any position where the vehicle is located. This position can be the current position or a preset position, and there is no limit here. The connectable network signal source can be a cellular base station, a satellite, etc. The value range of the network signal strength is usually from -120 dbm to -40 dbm. The smaller the value, the stronger the network signal strength. The target network signal source corresponding to the target position is the connectable network signal source with the strongest network signal strength at the target position. For example, assume that there are three connectable network signal sources at the target position: a network signal source of -50 dbm, a network signal source of -80 dbm, and a network signal source of -100 dbm. Since the network signal strength of the network signal source of -50 dbm is the strongest, the network signal source of -50 dbm is determined as the target network signal source corresponding to the target position at this time.

[0046] Step S120: Based on the network signal strength of the target network signal source, determine the target network status of the target position, and output a prompt for the target network status through the cockpit controller of the vehicle.

[0047] Among them, there are usually multiple network states, which can be divided according to the magnitude of the network signal strength. The target network state is one of the multiple network states, and is specifically determined according to the division criteria. The Cockpit Domain Controller (CDC) is the core component of the intelligent cockpit system, integrating multiple controllers and chips. By connecting various in-vehicle devices and systems, it conducts data communication and control to achieve the integrated management of intelligent cockpit functions. The ways of outputting prompts include: voice prompts, light prompts, etc.

[0048] The technical solution of this embodiment enables users to intuitively obtain prompt information on the cockpit network signal strength, enhances the user's driving experience, and improves the vehicle's safe driving performance.

[0049] Based on the first embodiment, the step of determining the target network state of the target position based on the network signal strength of the target network signal source in step S110 further includes:

[0050] Determine the target network signal strength interval in which the network signal strength of the target network signal source is located, and determine the target network state of the target position according to the target network signal strength interval.

[0051] Among them, the target network signal strength interval is one of multiple preset network signal strength intervals with a continuous value range. Each preset network signal strength interval corresponds to a network state, and the target network state is one of multiple network states. The multiple network states include: strong network state, medium network state, weak network state, and no network state. For example, the total value range of the network signal strength is: [-120, -40], with the unit of dbm; the multiple preset network signal strengths with a continuous value range are: [-120, -80), [-80, -70), [-70, -55), [-55, -40]. [-120, -80) corresponds to the no network state, [-80, -70) corresponds to the weak network state, [-70, -55) corresponds to the medium network state, and [-55, -40] corresponds to the strong network state.

[0052] It should be noted that the setting of the network state, the division of the network signal strength interval, and the corresponding relationship between the network signal strength interval and the network state can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and no limitation is set here.

[0053] The above solution further determines the corresponding network state according to the target network signal strength interval in which the network signal strength is located, which can add the network strength detection function so that users can effectively distinguish the current network environment.

[0054] Based on the first embodiment, the step of outputting a prompt for the target network status by the vehicle's cockpit controller in step S110 further includes:

[0055] When the target network status is the weak network status or the no-network status, use the cockpit controller to control the vehicle's prompting device to output a first prompt message according to the target network status.

[0056] Among them, the prompting device is: an in-vehicle display screen or / and a speaker. The first prompt message is used to prompt the user that the vehicle's network status is not good. Specifically, it can display a text prompt message (light prompt message) on the in-vehicle display screen or / and emit a voice prompt message through the speaker.

[0057] When the target network status is the strong network status or the medium network status, use the cockpit controller to control the prompting device to output a second prompt message according to the target network status.

[0058] Among them, the second prompt message is used to prompt the user that the vehicle's network status is normal. At this time, only a text prompt message can be displayed on the in-vehicle display screen, or a text prompt message (light prompt message) can be displayed on the in-vehicle display screen and a voice prompt message can be emitted through the speaker at the same time. There is no limit here.

[0059] It should be noted that the cockpit controller receives the target network status transmitted by the TBOX, generates corresponding control instructions according to the target network status (the first prompt message corresponds to the first control instruction, and the second prompt message corresponds to the second control instruction), and sends them to the prompting device to control the prompting device to output the corresponding prompt message.

[0060] The above solution further outputs a prompt for the target network status through the vehicle's cockpit controller, enhancing the user's driving experience and sense of security. When the user enters a weak network or no-network environment, it timely reminds the vehicle owner to drive carefully and reduces the situation where it is impossible to contact the outside world after a failure in the weak network / no-network.

[0061] Based on the first embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the method further includes:

[0062] Step S130: Determine the required network status of the vehicle, and judge whether the target network status reaches the required network status to obtain a judgment result.

[0063] Among them, the required network status is the network status required by the vehicle, which can be specifically determined according to the user's requirements for the vehicle network status. For example, when the vehicle needs to download an offline map, listen to online music, and play videos, the required network status is a strong network status or a medium network status. Another example is that when the vehicle does not currently have any situation that relies on the network and is only in the situation of manual driving without the navigation turned on, only a weak network status or no network status is required.

[0064] Step S140: When the judgment result is negative, use the cockpit controller to control the prompting device to output a third prompt message.

[0065] Among them, the third prompt message is used to prompt the user that the network status does not meet the requirements, prompt the user to modify the requirements or adjust the route. The third prompt message can specifically display text prompt information (light prompt information) on the in-vehicle display screen or / and issue voice prompt information through the speaker.

[0066] The above solution further determines whether the target network status reaches the required network status, thereby intelligently outputting prompts according to the user's requirements, enhancing the user's driving experience and sense of security, and improving the vehicle's safe driving performance.

[0067] Figure 3 The flowchart of the second embodiment of the cockpit network signal strength prompting method provided by the present application is shown, and this method is executed by the TBOX. Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S210: When at least one connectable network signal source at the target location of the vehicle is detected, obtain the network signal strength of each connectable network signal source, and determine the connectable network signal source with the strongest network signal strength as the target network signal source corresponding to the target location.

[0069] Step S220: Based on the network signal strength of the target network signal source, determine the target network status of the target location, and output a prompt for the target network status through the cockpit controller of the vehicle.

[0070] Step S230: Based on the departure location information and destination information of the vehicle, generate at least one initial route, and obtain the route network signal strength corresponding to each initial route.

[0071] Among them, the route network signal strength characterizes the network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at multiple consecutive preset positions on the initial route. The network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at each preset position can be obtained through the historical data of the navigation system. The interval between every two adjacent preset positions can be set according to the actual situation, such as 10 m, and there is no limit here. The departure location information and the destination location information are input into the vehicle's navigation system to generate at least one initial route by using the navigation system.

[0072] Step S240: Based on the route network signal strength corresponding to each initial route and in combination with the vehicle's navigation system, generate a target recommended route.

[0073] Among them, the route network signal strength corresponding to each initial route can be displayed on the corresponding initial route. According to the target network status at different preset positions, different colors are marked at different preset positions on the corresponding initial route (reference can be made to the color markings of road congestion in the navigation system, and there is no limit here) so that the user can intuitively obtain the route network signal strength on the route. After obtaining the route network signal strength corresponding to each initial route, the navigation system calculates the required time for each initial route and the comprehensive network signal strength of the route (by default, it is the average value of the network signal strengths at each preset position) based on the route network signal strength, route congestion conditions, weather factors, etc., so as to generate an optimal recommended route, that is, the target recommended route.

[0074] The technical solution of this embodiment further adds a network strength detection function to the navigation system, effectively differentiates the network environment of the route, enhances the user's driving experience and sense of security, and improves the vehicle's safe driving performance.

[0075] On the basis of the second embodiment, the method further includes:

[0076] Step S250: Through the cockpit controller, output a prompt for the distribution data of the connectable network signal sources on the target recommended route and the network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at multiple consecutive preset positions.

[0077] Among them, the distribution data of the connectable network signal sources refers to the location information of the connectable network signal sources existing within the preset range corresponding to the target recommended route. The TBOX obtains the distribution data of the connectable network signal sources on the target recommended route and the network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at a continuous plurality of preset positions and transmits them to the cockpit controller, so that the cockpit controller generates a third control instruction according to the distribution data of the connectable network signal sources on the target recommended route and the network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at a continuous plurality of preset positions. The third control instruction is used to control the in-vehicle display to display the distribution data of the connectable network signal sources on the target recommended route and the network signal strengths of the target network signal sources at a continuous plurality of preset positions (mark different colors at different preset positions on the target recommended route), and when the vehicle travels to the corresponding preset position or a preset distance before the preset position, control the speaker to emit a voice prompt message to remind the user that the network signal ahead is weak.

[0078] The above solution further provides real-time prompts for the network signal sources and signal strengths on the recommended route, enhancing the user's driving experience and sense of security, and improving the vehicle's safe driving performance.

[0079] Based on the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the connectable network signal sources are: cellular base stations or communication satellites; the method further includes:

[0080] Controlling the vehicle to search for cellular base stations or / and initiate a satellite connection request at the target position to detect whether there is at least one cellular base station or / and communication satellite at the target position of the vehicle.

[0081] Among them, by using the automotive cellular V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything, abbreviated as C-V2X) module, the vehicle is controlled to search for cellular base stations at the target position, so as to use C-V2X technology to help the vehicle search for and connect to nearby cellular base stations to realize data upload and download. Using Beidou or GPS, etc. to initiate a satellite connection request to detect whether there is a communication satellite at the target position of the vehicle.

[0082] It should be noted that the vehicle preferentially searches for cellular base stations. When the vehicle cannot search for cellular base stations within a preset time period, it automatically initiates a satellite connection request. When the vehicle switches from the cellular network to the satellite network, the speaker is controlled to perform a voice broadcast on the switching result, such as "Successfully switched to the satellite communication network".

[0083] The above solution further clarifies the types of connectable network signal sources and the detection methods, adds a network strength detection function, and improves the vehicle's safe driving performance.
