[0044] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present invention.

[0045] To illustrate the technical solutions described in the present invention, the following will be described through specific embodiments.

[0046] The method of this embodiment is mainly applied to a special seat for people with mobility difficulties or who are unable to move to get on and off the vehicle more conveniently.

[0047] Figure 1It is a schematic diagram of a special seat. The seat can move back and forth in the X direction and can rotate by an angle Y to extend the seat out of the vehicle. After the elderly, disabled and other people with inconvenient getting on and off the vehicle sit on the seat, the seat then rotates back to its original position. Considering that during the movement of the seat, it is very easy to occur dangerous situations, such as people falling from the seat due to vehicle movement or other circumstances, or the seat bumping against the car door when the car door is not fully opened. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a safety strategy is designed for this seat, and this strategy can be directly integrated into the vehicle body domain controller or seat controller as a program, combined with other cameras and sensors on the vehicle, to ensure the safe movement of the seat.

[0048] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of a control method for a vehicle seat provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] Step S201, when receiving a control signal for controlling the seat to move, obtain the information of the vehicle and detect whether there is a person sitting on the seat.

[0050] The control signal here includes a seat deployment signal and a seat reset signal. The deployment signal is to control the seat to rotate out of the vehicle, and the reset signal is to control the seat to rotate back into the vehicle. The user can input the control signal through a hardware switch or a virtual switch on the central control screen. This embodiment receives the control signal and controls the seat to perform corresponding actions based on this control signal. When the seat is in the vehicle, the user can also adjust the front-back position, backrest angle, seat height, etc. of the seat, but this seat adjustment signal is not the control signal for controlling the seat to move as mentioned in this embodiment.

[0051] After receiving the control signal, this embodiment can directly obtain the information of the vehicle, such as gear state, power state, door state and other state information, and can detect whether there is a person sitting on the seat by means of a camera in the cabin or a gravity sensor under the seat.

[0052] Step S202, according to whether there is a person sitting on the seat, determine the preset preconditions for the seat to move.

[0053] In this embodiment, the usage scenarios of the seat are divided into two scenarios: there is a person on the seat and there is no person on the seat, and different safety strategies are executed according to different scenarios.

[0054] Optionally:

[0055] If there is a passenger on the seat, the safety of the passenger and the vehicle must be fully considered during the movement of the seat. First, the seat belt of the passenger must be fastened to prevent the passenger from falling and getting injured during the movement of the seat. Second, the vehicle needs to be powered on and in the parking gear to avoid vehicle damage or passenger injury caused by vehicle movement during the movement of the seat. Third, the door corresponding to the seat must be fully opened to avoid knocking on the door during the movement of the seat, resulting in vehicle damage. Therefore, the preset preconditions for the seat to perform an action can include, for example, the vehicle being powered on and in the parking gear, the door corresponding to the seat being fully opened, and the seat belt of the seat being fastened, etc.

[0056] If there is no passenger on the seat, only vehicle damage needs to be considered during the movement of the seat, and the state of the seat belt does not need to be considered. The preset preconditions at this time can include, for example, the vehicle being powered on and in the parking gear, and the door corresponding to the seat being fully opened, etc.

[0057] Step S203, according to the status information, determine whether the preset preconditions are met.

[0058] For the scenario where there is a passenger on the seat or the scenario where there is no passenger on the seat, if several corresponding conditions are all met, it is determined that the preset preconditions are met. If any one of the conditions is not met, it is determined that the preset preconditions are not met.

[0059] Step S204, if met, control the seat to perform an action according to the control signal.

[0060] When it is determined that the preset preconditions are met, it means that the seat can perform an action safely.

[0061] At this time, if the control signal is a seat deployment signal, control the seat to deploy. When deploying, the seat adjusts its overall posture and the position of the backrest to the set starting position inside the vehicle, and then the seat deploys along the set route to a position outside the vehicle for the user to get on and off the vehicle conveniently and stays still.

[0062] If the control signal is a seat reset signal, control the seat to reset. When resetting, the seat rotates to the set starting position inside the vehicle along the set route, and the user can send instructions to adjust the front-back position, backrest angle, seat height, etc. of the seat according to needs. After receiving these instructions in this embodiment, the front-back position, backrest angle, seat height, etc. of the seat are adjusted.

[0063] When it is determined that the preset preconditions are not met, the seat does not perform an action. At this time, the reminder information can be determined according to the above vehicle information and preset preconditions, and a reminder can be made according to this reminder information, such as by voice broadcasting the reason why the seat is unavailable, to facilitate the user to make adjustments.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present invention, the usage scenarios of the seat are divided into two scenarios: when there is a person on the seat and when there is no person on the seat. Different safety strategies are executed according to different scenarios to ensure the safety of personnel or vehicles. That is, when a control signal for controlling the seat to perform an action is received, the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action are determined according to whether there is a person sitting on the seat. If the preset preconditions are met, the seat is controlled to perform the action. Through the judgment of the preset preconditions, the safety of the seat action in the current scenario can be determined, and the occurrence of danger during the seat action can be avoided.

[0065] In addition, before determining the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action according to whether there is a person sitting on the seat in the embodiments of the present application, the mapping relationship between whether there is a person sitting on the seat and the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action is also considered. Furthermore, subsequently, according to whether there is a person sitting on the seat and the above mapping relationship, the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action are accurately and quickly determined. Thus, through the judgment of the preset preconditions, the seat is controlled to perform the action, and the safety during the control of the seat action is improved.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0067] S301. Obtain the states of the vehicle, the doors, and the seat before and after the corresponding seat performs an action when there are multiple people sitting on the seats, and obtain the states of the vehicle, the doors, and the seat before and after the corresponding seat performs an action when there are no people sitting on the seats.

[0068] In this embodiment, mainly some vehicle information before and after the seat performs an action when there are people and no people on the seat is obtained, such as the states of the vehicle, the doors, and the seat before and after the seat performs an action.

[0069] S302. Establish a mapping relationship between whether there is a person sitting on the seat and the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action according to the results of the corresponding seat performing an action when there are multiple people sitting on the seats and when there are no people sitting on the seats, and one or more of the states of the vehicle, the doors, and the seat before and after the action.

[0070] In this embodiment, through the vehicle information before and after the seat performs an action when there are people and no people on the seat, and the results of the seat performing the action (such as successful deployment or failed deployment, etc.), furthermore, some preconditions for the subsequent seat to successfully complete the action when there are or are not people on the seat are determined, that is, the above preset preconditions. Thus, a mapping relationship between whether there is a person sitting on the seat and the preset preconditions for the seat to perform the action is established for judging whether the seat performs the action.

[0071] For example, the mapping relationship can be:

[0072] If there is a passenger on the seat, the preset preconditions include: the vehicle is powered on and in the parking gear, the door corresponding to the seat is fully opened, and the seat belt of the seat is in a fastened state.

[0073] If there is no passenger on the seat, the preset preconditions include: the vehicle is powered on and in the parking gear, and the door corresponding to the seat is fully opened.

[0074] S303. When receiving a control signal for controlling the seat to act, obtain the information of the vehicle and detect whether there is a passenger on the seat.

[0075] S304. Determine the preset preconditions for the seat to act according to whether there is a passenger on the seat and the mapping relationship.

[0076] S305. Judge whether the preset preconditions are met according to the information of the vehicle.

[0077] S306. If met, control the seat to act according to the control signal.

[0078] Among them, for the implementation manners of steps S303 to S306, refer to Figure 2 the relevant descriptions in the embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0079] As a possible implementation manner, the seat can be powered by the high-voltage power battery of the vehicle. The traditional seat deployment and reset are both powered by low voltage. Since the seat deployment and reset are different from ordinary seat position adjustment and consume a large amount of power, it is easy to cause battery discharge. Therefore, in this embodiment, the seat is designed to be powered by the high-voltage power battery.

[0080] Therefore, the above vehicle power-on needs to be in a high-voltage power-on state. Most vehicles have multiple different power modes. In the low-voltage power-on mode, the seat does not act.

[0081] As a possible implementation manner, in this embodiment, controlling the seat to act according to the control signal includes:

[0082] Determine the action speed of the seat according to whether there is a passenger on the seat; among them, the action speed when there is a passenger on the seat is greater than the action speed when there is no passenger on the seat;

[0083] Control the seat to act according to the control signal and the action speed.

[0084] The action speed of the seat needs to meet the standard requirements. For example, the requirements are 10 - 30 mm / s for forward and backward movement, 10 ± 2° / s for rotation, and the time for the overall movement to the outside of the vehicle and back to the inside of the vehicle ≤ 60 s.

[0085] Generally, for safety reasons, the maximum operating speed of the seat is designed according to the scenario of the passengers on the seat in a vehicle. In this embodiment, the operating speed of the seat is dynamically adjusted according to the actual scenario. For example, when there is a passenger on the seat, the maximum rotation speed is 10±2° / s; when there is no passenger on the seat, the operating speed of the seat can be appropriately increased, and the rotation speed can be greater than 10±2° / s, so that the seat can be deployed and reset faster. By dynamically adjusting the operating speed of the seat, both the safety and comfort of the passengers are ensured, and time is saved.

[0086] As a possible implementation, before controlling the seat to perform an action, it further includes at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0087] Voice broadcast the precautions when the seat is deployed.

[0088] Use a preset method for reminder, such as turning on the hazard lights of the vehicle to warn passersby.

[0089] Perform avoidance adjustment on the seat in front of and / or behind the seat. The specific avoidance position shall not squeeze the seat passengers and can be calibrated according to the actual vehicle situation.

[0090] As a possible implementation, during the process of controlling the seat to perform an action, it further includes at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0091] Lock the vehicle gear in the parking gear to prevent the vehicle from moving.

[0092] Disable the adjustment switch of the seat and the adjustment switches of the seats in front of and / or behind the seat. At this time, the adjustment buttons of the relevant seats are invalid.

[0093] If the door corresponding to the seat becomes not fully opened, control the seat to stop moving to prevent the seat from colliding with the door during the movement process.

[0094] If the movement of the seat is blocked, control the seat to stop moving to avoid further expansion of the danger.

[0095] In a more specific embodiment, the control method of the vehicle seat is as follows:

[0096] (1) Control the right rear seat in the second row to deploy by pressing a button:

[0098] Preset conditions when there is no one on the seat: The power mode is ON, the vehicle is in a high-voltage state, the right rear door in the second row is fully opened, and the vehicle state is in the parking gear.

[0099] Trigger condition: The user long-presses the hard switch for deploying the right seat in the second row.

[0100] Action process:

[0101] (1) The user long-presses the seat deployment button switch;

[0102] (2) In this embodiment, upon receiving the control signal for controlling the seat to act, it can announce the precautions when the seat is deployed through voice, and at the same time control the vehicle to turn on the hazard warning lights to warn passersby;

[0103] (3) Control the entire co-pilot seat and the backrest to move forward to the avoidance position (this position is subject to in-vehicle calibration to ensure that the seat passenger is not squeezed);

[0104] (4) Control the seat to first adjust the overall posture and the backrest position to the set starting position inside the vehicle (the starting position is subject to in-vehicle calibration); the seat unfolds to the position outside the vehicle for the user to get on and off conveniently and remains stationary;

[0105] (5) When the seat is in the process of executing an action and the user releases the deployment button switch, control the seat to immediately stop the action; when the user long-presses the deployment or reset control switch again, control the seat to continue the corresponding action.

[0106] Special process: When the deployment condition is not fully met and the seat deployment switch is long-pressed, this embodiment can give a reminder, such as announcing through voice "The current seat is unavailable. Please confirm that the right rear door is fully opened and the gear is in the park position", and the seat does not move. During the seat movement, if the user switches to the park gear, control the seat to stop the action and give a voice reminder to the user "During the seat movement, it is prohibited to use a non-park gear". During the seat movement, if the door state changes to not fully opened, control the seat to immediately stop the action. During the seat movement, if it encounters an obstacle, control the seat to immediately stop the action.

[0107] (2) Button control for resetting the right seat in the second row:

[0108] Preset conditions when there is someone on the seat: Power mode ON, the vehicle is in a high-voltage state, the right rear door in the second row is fully opened, the vehicle state is in the park gear, and the seat belt is fastened.

[0109] Preset conditions when there is no one on the seat: Power mode ON, the vehicle is in a high-voltage state, the right rear door in the second row is fully opened, the vehicle state is in the park gear.

[0110] Trigger condition: The user long-presses the hard switch for resetting the right seat in the second row.

[0111] Action process:

[0112] (1) The user long-presses the seat reset control switch;

[0113] (2) This embodiment receives a control signal for controlling the seat to move, and controls the entire co-pilot seat and the backrest to move forward to the avoidance position (this position is subject to the actual vehicle calibration so as not to squeeze the seat passengers);

[0114] (3) Control the seat to reset to the set starting position in the vehicle according to the set route and then remain stationary (the welcome function for the co-pilot is not available when there is someone in the seat during stationary in the vehicle or during the movement process);

[0115] (4) After the seat reset is completed, control the hazard warning lights to automatically turn off.

[0116] Special process: When the reset condition is not fully met, long-press the seat reset switch. This embodiment can give a reminder, such as by voice broadcast "The current seat is not available. Please confirm that the right door is fully opened and the gear is in the park position", and the seat does not move. During the seat movement process, if the user switches to the park gear, control the seat to stop moving, and give a voice reminder to the user "During the seat movement process, it is prohibited to use a non-park gear". During the seat movement process, if the door state changes to not fully opened state, control the seat to immediately stop moving. During the seat movement process, if it encounters an obstacle, control the seat to immediately stop moving.

[0117] It should be understood that the magnitudes of the sequence numbers of the steps in the above embodiments do not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
