[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of this disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] The embodiments of this disclosure provide an ambient light control system. Refer to Figure 1 , the ambient light control system includes a switch assembly 1, an ambient light emitting assembly, and a controller.

[0052] The switch assembly 1 includes a plurality of buttons on a panel 11, and the plurality of buttons include a plurality of air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 and an activation button 112.

[0053] The controller is electrically connected to both the switch assembly 1 and the ambient light emitting assembly. The controller is configured to:

[0054] Receiving the first trigger signal of the activation button 112, controlling a plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the air conditioner adjustment mode to the ambient light adjustment mode; when the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, receiving the trigger signal of the selected target air conditioner adjustment button among the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111, and based on the pre-stored binding relationship between each air conditioner adjustment button 111 and the ambient light adjustment function, controlling the ambient light emitting component to emit light based on the ambient light adjustment function bound to the target air conditioner adjustment button; when the preset conversion condition is met, controlling the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode; when the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the air conditioner adjustment mode, receiving the trigger signal of the selected target air conditioner adjustment button among the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111, and based on the pre-stored corresponding relationship between each air conditioner adjustment button 111 and the air conditioner adjustment function, controlling the air conditioner control system of the vehicle to work based on the air conditioner adjustment function corresponding to the target air conditioner adjustment button.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the ambient light control system and the air conditioner control system of the vehicle share a switch assembly 1.

[0056] See Figure 2 , corresponding icon symbols are displayed at the corresponding positions of each air conditioner adjustment button 111. During most of the time of vehicle application, the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 in the switch assembly 1 are used to adjust the air conditioner control system, that is, the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are all in the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0057] When the user wants to use the physical button to adjust the ambient light, the working mode of the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 can be switched through the activation button 112. Specifically, the user can perform an activation operation on the activation button 112 for the ambient light control system, thereby triggering the controller to receive the first trigger signal of the activation button 112. When the controller receives the first trigger signal of the activation button 112, it will control the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the air conditioner adjustment mode to the ambient light adjustment mode.

[0058] When the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, the plurality of air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are all used to adjust the ambient light control system. The user can adjust and control the ambient light emitting component through the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111. The user can select the air conditioner adjustment button 111 corresponding to the desired ambient light adjustment function according to the demand and perform a trigger operation, and this air conditioner adjustment button 111 is the selected target air conditioner adjustment button.

[0059] After the user triggers the target air-conditioning adjustment button, the controller will receive the trigger signal of the target air-conditioning adjustment button. Then, based on the pre-stored binding relationship between each air-conditioning adjustment button 111 and the ambient light adjustment function, the controller determines the ambient light adjustment function corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button, and then controls the ambient light emitting component to emit light to implement the ambient light adjustment function corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0060] When the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 is in the ambient light adjustment mode, if the preset conversion condition is met, the controller controls the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to convert from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air-conditioning adjustment mode.

[0061] When the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 is in the air-conditioning adjustment mode, the user can, according to needs, select the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the desired air-conditioning adjustment function and perform a trigger operation, and this air-conditioning adjustment button 111 is the selected target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0062] After the user triggers the target air-conditioning adjustment button, the controller will receive the trigger signal of the target air-conditioning adjustment button. Then, based on the pre-stored corresponding relationship between each air-conditioning adjustment button 111 and the air-conditioning adjustment function, the controller determines the air-conditioning adjustment function corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button, and then controls the air-conditioning control system to work to implement the air-conditioning adjustment function corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0063] In this way, the ambient light control system and the air-conditioning control system share the same panel 11. In addition to being able to adjust the ambient light emitting component through the host screen, the user can also directly adjust the ambient light switch component through the activation button 112 and the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 on the switch component 1, improving the application convenience of the ambient light control system.

[0064] Moreover, while implementing the physical buttons of the ambient light control system, since the ambient light control system and the air-conditioning control system share the same switch component 1, it does not occupy additional space inside the vehicle and does not affect the arrangement of other devices.

[0065] Among them, the controller can be an IHU (Infotainment Hub Information&EntertainmentCentral Unit, Information Entertainment Center Unit), and of course, it can also be other controllers that can implement the corresponding functions. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0066] In a possible implementation manner, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 may include an in-vehicle circulation button, a blower volume - button, a blower volume + button, a MAX front defrost button, a rear defrost button, an A / C button, a footwell defrost button, a face-blowing button, a footwell-blowing button, a temperature - button, a temperature + button, an air-conditioning power-on button, and so on.

[0067] Among them, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the in-vehicle circulation button is the leg ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment functions bound to the blower volume - button and the blower volume + button are both single-color ambient light function adjustments, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the MAX front defrost button is the maximum adjustment of the vehicle-wide ambient light brightness, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the rear defrost button is the rear-row ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the A / C button is the vehicle-wide welcome ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the footwell defrost button is the front compartment ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the face-blowing button is the instrument panel ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment function bound to the footwell-blowing button is the leg ambient light function adjustment, the ambient light adjustment functions bound to the left temperature - button and the temperature + button are both vehicle-wide dynamic ambient light function adjustments, the ambient light adjustment functions bound to the right temperature - button and the temperature + button are both vehicle-wide music rhythm ambient light function adjustments, and the ambient light adjustment function bound to the air-conditioning power-on button is the vehicle-wide ambient light off.

[0068] The function bound to the activation button 112 is the activation of the vehicle-wide ambient light function.

[0069] Referring to Table 1 below, when the target air-conditioning adjustment button is triggered, the switch assembly 1 can send a signal corresponding to the ambient light adjustment function bound to the target air-conditioning adjustment button to the BDM (Background Debug Mode interface), and the BDM then sends a signal corresponding to the ambient light adjustment function bound to the target air-conditioning adjustment button to the controller.

[0070] For example, when the ambient light adjustment function bound to the target air-conditioning adjustment button is the single-color ambient light function adjustment, the signal IHU25_AmbLigSignalBlowSpeedSts sent by the switch assembly 1 to the BDM is 1, and other signals are 0, and the signal IHU_25_AmbLigFlngModSet0x2 sent by the BDM to the controller is 1, and other signals are 0.

[0071] Table 1

[0072]

[0073] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 1, the switch assembly 1 may further include a housing 16 and a base 17. The housing 16 is located between the base 17 and the panel 11 and is connected to the base 17 and the panel 11. Both the housing 16 and the base 17 can be connected to the vehicle body, thereby fixing the switch assembly at the corresponding position of the vehicle.

[0074] In a possible implementation, refer to Figure 1 , the switch assembly 1 further includes a touch capacitive film 12 and a circuit board 13.

[0075] The touch capacitive film 12 is located between the panel 11 and the circuit board 13. The touch capacitive film 12 is in contact with the panel 11 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 13.

[0076] The circuit board 13 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is configured to: when it is detected based on the touch capacitive film 12 and the circuit board 13 that the activation button 112 is long-pressed and the duration of the long-press reaches a first preset duration, generate a first trigger signal for the activation button 112; when it is detected based on the touch capacitive film 12 and the circuit board 13 that a target air-conditioning adjustment button is pressed, generate a trigger signal for the target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0077] In practice, when the user performs a triggering operation on the activation button 112 or the air-conditioning adjustment button 111, it will be pressed. The circuit board 13 can detect the capacitance change of the touch capacitive film 12 at the pressing position and send the capacitance change data to the controller, and the controller then detects that the activation button 112 or the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 is pressed.

[0078] When the controller detects that the activation button 112 is long-pressed and the duration of the long-press reaches the first preset duration, it indicates that the preset mode switching condition is satisfied. At this time, the controller can generate a first trigger signal, thereby triggering the conversion of the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 from the air-conditioning adjustment mode to the ambient light adjustment mode.

[0079] When the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, if the user presses the target air-conditioning adjustment button, the controller will detect that the target air-conditioning adjustment button is pressed based on the touch capacitive film 12 and the circuit board 13, thereby generating a trigger signal for the target air-conditioning adjustment button, and then triggering the controller to control the ambient light emitting component to emit light to implement the ambient light adjustment function corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset duration can be any reasonable duration. For example, it can be 3 seconds, 2 seconds, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0081] In a possible implementation, refer to Figure 1, the switch assembly 1 further includes a pressure sensor 14, the position of the pressure sensor 14 corresponds to the position of the activation button 112, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 13.

[0082] A controller, configured to: when it is detected based on the touch capacitive film 12 and the circuit board 13 that the activation button 112 is long-pressed and the duration of the long-press reaches a first preset duration, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 14 is greater than a preset pressure threshold, generate a first trigger signal for the activation button 112.

[0083] In implementation, a pressure sensor 14 is also provided at the corresponding position of the activation button 112. When the controller detects that the activation button is long-pressed and the duration of the long-press reaches the first preset duration, to avoid accidental touch, it is also necessary to determine whether the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than the preset pressure threshold within this first preset duration. If both are satisfied, it means that there is no accidental touch and the user has indeed long-pressed the activation button 112. At this time, the controller can generate a first trigger signal for the activation button 112.

[0084] See Figure 1 , the switch assembly 1 may further include a push rod 18. One end of the push rod 18 is connected to the activation button 112, and the other end is connected to the pressure sensor 14. When the user presses the activation button 112, the activation button 112 drives the push rod 18 to move towards the pressure sensor 14, thereby pressing the pressure sensor to detect a pressure value.

[0085] In a possible implementation manner, the switch assembly 1 may include a plurality of second pressure sensors. The position of each second pressure sensor corresponds to the position of a different air-conditioning adjustment button 111 respectively, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 13.

[0086] A controller, configured to: when it is detected based on the touch capacitive film 12 and the circuit board 13 that the target air-conditioning adjustment button is pressed, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button is greater than a preset pressure threshold, generate a trigger signal for the target air-conditioning adjustment button.

[0087] In implementation, when the controller detects that the target air-conditioning adjustment button is pressed, it may also detect whether the pressure value of the pressure sensor corresponding to the target air-conditioning adjustment button is greater than the preset pressure threshold. If it is greater, it means that there is no accidental touch. At this time, a trigger signal for the target air-conditioning adjustment button can be generated.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, the controller is configured to: if the duration of not receiving a trigger signal from any of the air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 reaches a second preset duration after receiving the first trigger signal of the activation button 112, control the plurality of air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air-conditioning adjustment mode.

[0089] In implementation, when a preset conversion condition is met, the controller controls multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset conversion condition may be: after receiving the first trigger signal of the activation button 112, no trigger signal of any air conditioner adjustment button 111 has been received, and the duration of not receiving the trigger signal reaches a second preset duration.

[0090] If the preset conversion condition is met, it indicates that the user has not operated any air conditioner adjustment button 111 after triggering the activation button 112. To avoid subsequent accidental touches, the controller can directly switch the working mode of the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0091] If the user wants to adjust the ambient light emitting component through the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 subsequently, the activation button 112 needs to be triggered again so that the controller receives the first trigger signal.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second preset duration can be any reasonable duration. For example, it can be 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0093] In another possible implementation, the controller is configured to: when multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, if the first trigger signal of the activation button 112 is received, control the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0094] In implementation, the preset conversion condition can also be: when multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, the first trigger signal of the activation button 112 is received.

[0095] If the above preset conversion condition is met, it indicates that after the user controls the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the air conditioner adjustment mode to the ambient light adjustment mode through the activation button 112, the first trigger signal of the activation button 112 is received again. At this time, it indicates that the user operates the activation button 112 again to change the working mode of the air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 again, and the controller can control the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch back from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0096] It can be understood that the generation method of the first trigger signal in the preset conversion condition can be any one of the several mentioned above.

[0097] In another possible implementation, the controller is configured to: when multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, if trigger signals of the activation button 112 are received three times continuously within a third preset duration, control the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0098] In implementation, the preset conversion condition may also be: when multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode, trigger signals of the activation button 112 are received three times continuously within a third preset duration.

[0099] If the above preset conversion condition is satisfied, it indicates that the user clicks the activation button 112 three times within a short period. At this time, the controller can control the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 to switch back from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset conversion condition may be any one of the above several, or may include any combination of the above several. When the preset conversion condition includes any combination of the above several, when the preset conversion condition meets one of the combinations, the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 can be triggered to switch from the ambient light adjustment mode to the air conditioner adjustment mode.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the third preset duration may be any reasonable duration. For example, it may be 5 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0102] In a possible implementation, the controller is further configured to: when the ambient light emitting component is in the light emitting state, if a second trigger signal of the activation button 112 is received, control the ambient light emitting component to turn off.

[0103] In implementation, when the ambient light emitting component is in the light emitting state, the activation button 112 may be triggered when the multiple air conditioner adjustment buttons 111 are in the ambient light adjustment mode. When the controller receives the second trigger signal of the activation button 112, at this time, the controller can control the ambient light emitting component to turn off.

[0104] Wherein, the generation method of the second trigger signal is the same as that of the above first trigger signal, and details are not described herein again.

[0105] In a possible implementation, the controller is further configured to: when the vehicle leaves the factory, control the host screen to display an ambient light binding prompt, where the ambient light binding prompt is used to indicate binding multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to different ambient light adjustment functions respectively, so that the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 can be switched from the air-conditioning adjustment mode to the ambient light adjustment mode; based on the ambient light binding prompt, bind the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to the corresponding ambient light adjustment functions, and store the binding relationship between each air-conditioning adjustment button 111 and the ambient light adjustment function.

[0106] During implementation, when the vehicle just leaves the factory, the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 in the switch assembly 1 are not bound to the ambient light adjustment mode, and the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 is only used to adjust the air-conditioning control system. At this time, the activation button 112 is not activated, and a signal IHU_25_AmbiLig01Authn can be sent to the controller through the BDM with a value of 0.

[0107] The user can, according to the prompt, first bind the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 in the switch assembly 1 to the respective ambient light adjustment functions. After the binding is completed, the user can control the ambient light adjustment function through the air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111.

[0108] The binding method can be: First, the user can trigger the activation button 112. The switch assembly 1 can send a signal IHU_25_AmbiLig01Authn with a value of 1 to the controller through the BDM, triggering the controller to control the host screen to display an ambient light operation interface, in which an ambient light binding prompt is displayed. Among them, the triggering operation of the activation button 112 can be long-pressing the activation button 112 and the long-pressing duration reaches a first preset duration.

[0109] The user can bind the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to different ambient light adjustment functions respectively according to the ambient light binding prompt. Correspondingly, the controller can, based on the binding operation performed by the user, bind the multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 to the corresponding ambient light adjustment functions, store the binding relationship, and apply it with the user later.

[0110] In a possible implementation, the switch assembly 1 further includes multiple LED lights 15. Translucent areas 113 are provided at the corresponding positions of each button on the panel 11, and the positions of each LED light 15 respectively correspond to the positions of the translucent areas corresponding to different buttons.

[0111] A controller is configured to: control the host screen to display the atmosphere light binding inquiry information; receive the confirmation binding information corresponding to the atmosphere light binding inquiry information sent by the host screen; control the host screen to sequentially display the introduction information of multiple atmosphere light adjustment functions and the binding operation prompt. Whenever the host screen displays the introduction information of a target atmosphere light adjustment function among the multiple atmosphere light adjustment functions, based on the pre-stored correspondence between the atmosphere light adjustment function and the air-conditioning adjustment button 111, control the LED light 15 of the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function to emit light, and control the atmosphere light emitting component to emit light based on the target atmosphere light adjustment function, wherein the binding operation prompt is used to instruct the user to press the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function; receive the trigger signal of the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function, and bind the target atmosphere light adjustment function to the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function.

[0112] In implementation, when the host screen displays the atmosphere light binding prompt, it will first display the atmosphere light binding inquiry information, which is used to ask the user whether to bind the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 to the atmosphere light adjustment function. If the user wants to bind, they can click the confirmation binding option on the host screen, and the controller will then receive the confirmation binding information corresponding to the atmosphere light binding inquiry information sent by the host screen.

[0113] Then, the controller will control the host screen to display the introduction information and the binding operation prompt of one of the multiple atmosphere light adjustment functions. The one atmosphere light adjustment function currently displayed on the host screen is the target atmosphere light adjustment function.

[0114] The controller prestores the correspondence between multiple atmosphere light adjustment functions and the air-conditioning adjustment button 111. While the host screen displays the introduction information and the binding operation prompt of the target atmosphere light adjustment function, the controller will also determine the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function based on the correspondence between the atmosphere light adjustment function and the air-conditioning adjustment button 111. Then, based on the pre-stored correspondence between the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 and the LED light 15, determine the LED light 15 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function. Then, control the LED light 15 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function to emit light to prompt the user that the lit air-conditioning adjustment button 111 can be bound to the target atmosphere light adjustment function displayed on the host screen.

[0115] It can be understood that when the LED light 15 corresponding to the target atmosphere light adjustment function emits light, the LED lights 15 corresponding to other atmosphere light adjustment functions do not emit light.

[0116] The binding operation prompt of the target ambient light adjustment function displayed on the host screen is used to instruct the user to press the lit air-conditioning adjustment button 111 to bind it to the target ambient light adjustment function. Therefore, the user can press the lit air-conditioning adjustment button 111, so that the controller receives the trigger signal of the air-conditioning adjustment button 111 corresponding to the target ambient light adjustment function, triggering the controller to bind the target ambient light adjustment function to the air-conditioning adjustment button 111, and store the binding relationship between the target ambient light adjustment function and the air-conditioning adjustment button 111.

[0117] After the current target ambient light adjustment function is successfully bound to the air-conditioning adjustment button 111, the controller will then determine the next ambient light adjustment function as the target ambient light adjustment function, and control the host screen to display the introduction information and binding operation prompt of the target ambient light adjustment function.

[0118] For example, if there are eight ambient light adjustment functions, when the user sequentially binds these eight ambient light adjustment functions and presses the corresponding air-conditioning adjustment button 111, the switch assembly 1 will send signals IHU_25_AmbLigFlngModSet to the controller through DBM in sequence from 0 to 7. Any integer from 0 to 7 represents that the controller has received the trigger signal of the ambient light adjustment function corresponding to this integer, and then the binding operation is performed.

[0119] Through the above method, the user can bind all the ambient light adjustment functions to the corresponding air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111, or the user can also bind some of the ambient light adjustment functions to the corresponding air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the number and specific functions of the bound ambient light adjustment functions.

[0120] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned ambient light control system.

[0121] The technical solutions provided by the present disclosure at least include the following beneficial effects:

[0122] The present disclosure provides an ambient light control system. The ambient light control system and the air-conditioning control system share the same panel 11. In addition to being able to adjust the ambient light emitting components through the host screen, the user can also directly adjust the ambient light switch assembly through the activation button 112 and multiple air-conditioning adjustment buttons 111 on the switch assembly 1, improving the application convenience of the ambient light control system.

[0123] The above are only optional embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
