[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly to a method, device, equipment and medium for the linkage of the instrument and the startup animation of the intelligent cockpit. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, the in-vehicle cockpit control system has evolved into an intelligent cockpit domain controller, which incorporates the previous independent instrument controller and intelligent cockpit controller. However, the current startup animations are still displayed separately. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, device, equipment and medium for the linkage of the instrument and the startup animation of the intelligent cockpit, so as to achieve a linkage effect between the instrument and the startup animation of the intelligent cockpit and improve the user experience.

[0004] Next, in the first aspect of the present invention, a method for the linkage of the instrument and the startup animation of the intelligent cockpit is provided. The method includes:

[0005] Obtain the startup linkage animation of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit, and determine all the segments in the startup linkage animation with interactive picture content. Set the starting frames of these segments as key frames;

[0006] The instrument and the intelligent cockpit are started and communication is established.

[0007] When a play instruction is received, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit start playing the startup linkage animation simultaneously.

[0008] During the playing process, when at least one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit plays to a certain key frame, send the key frame signal to the other one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit through communication.

[0009] When the other one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit receives the key frame signal, determine whether to play the key frame synchronously at present; if so, continue playing; if not, jump to play the key frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the communication methods between the instrument and the intelligent cockpit include socket connection, serial port and spi.

[0011] In some embodiments, after the instrument and the intelligent cockpit are started, one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit instantiates the bootanim process through the surfaceflinger service, the bootanim process starts, and the initialization thread signalThread is used for communication to establish communication with the other one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit.

[0012] In some embodiments, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit play the startup linkage animation at the same frame rate.

[0013] In some of these embodiments, one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit sends a play instruction through communication to notify the other to start playing the startup linkage animation simultaneously, or the instrument and the intelligent cockpit receive play instructions sent simultaneously by a specific device to start playing the startup linkage animation simultaneously;

[0014] After the instrument and the intelligent cockpit finish playing, they send a notification to each other. The one that finishes playing first maintains the last frame and waits for the other to finish playing, and then they exit the play together.

[0015] In some of these embodiments, if a specific situation occurs in the instrument or the intelligent cockpit, the startup linkage animation is directly started; wherein, the specific situation includes failure to start in time, inability to establish communication, occurrence of a fault, and failure to receive a play instruction within a certain period of time after startup.

[0016] In some of these embodiments, the number of key frames is 1 to 2.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an instrument and intelligent cockpit startup animation linkage device for implementing the instrument and intelligent cockpit startup animation linkage method described in any one of the first aspects. The device includes:

[0018] An instrument, provided with at least one display screen for playing the startup linkage animation;

[0019] An intelligent cockpit, provided with at least one display screen for playing the startup linkage animation;

[0020] The instrument and the intelligent cockpit are provided with a communication link to establish communication.

[0021] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer device, including: a processor and a memory. The memory stores a program or instruction that can run on the processor. When the program or instruction is executed by the processor, the steps of the instrument and intelligent cockpit startup animation linkage method described in any one of the first aspects are implemented.

[0022] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a readable storage medium, on which a program or instruction is stored. When the program or instruction is executed by the processor, the steps of the instrument and intelligent cockpit startup animation linkage method described in any one of the first aspects are implemented.

[0023] Generally speaking, compared with the prior art through the above technical solutions conceived by the present invention, the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0024] The present invention enables the instrument to establish communication with the intelligent cockpit in a software manner, eliminating the need to occupy valuable hardware resources for synchronization signals, facilitating debugging and problem location. By setting the starting frames of all segments with interactions in the startup linkage animation as key frames, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit play the startup linkage animation synchronously, thus achieving a linkage effect between the instrument and the intelligent cockpit startup animations and enhancing the user experience.

[0025] Furthermore, when specific situations such as one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit not starting in time, being unable to establish communication, malfunctioning, or not receiving a play instruction within a certain time after startup occur, it will not cause a black screen phenomenon on several screens simultaneously, and the normally started system can play its own startup animation.

[0026] Furthermore, the number of key frames is 1 to 2, avoiding video stuttering caused by an excessive number of key frames. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The present application provides a method, device, equipment, and medium for the linkage of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit startup animation, which can enable the startup animations of the two systems to achieve a linkage effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, equipment and medium for the linkage of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit startup animation, which are applicable to automobiles equipped with an instrument and an intelligent cockpit. Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for the linkage of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit startup animation provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0039] S101. Obtain the startup linkage animation of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit, and determine all the segments in the startup linkage animation with interactive screen content. Set the starting frames of these segments as key frames.

[0040] In some embodiments, the startup linkage animation of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit needs to have a linkage effect. Therefore, when making the startup animation, an animation effect with linkage is made, and then the two screens of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit are played simultaneously at the same frame rate.

[0041] Exemplarily, an item moves from the left screen to the right for a total of 10 unit lengths. The animation played on the left screen is to move 1 - 5 unit lengths (at this time, it plays to the 30th frame), and the content played on the right starts exactly from the 31st frame and the content is to move 6 - 10 unit lengths. The interactive screen content is placed in frames with the same order, and the linkage is achieved through the animation itself. In this way, as long as both sides play together, the linkage effect can be achieved.

[0042] Another example is that the instrument and the intelligent cockpit start playing a certain screen content at the same time, which can also be classified as a situation where the screen content has interaction.

[0043] The startup animation playing resources are sequence frames parsed from video resources, and the form of the sequence frames is as Figure 2 shown. Both sides agree that the starting frame involving content interaction is the key frame. When one side plays to the key frame, it notifies the other side, and the other side directly jumps to the key frame to start playing, so as to ensure that both sides play the screen with interactive content at the same time.

[0044] In addition, the number of key frames should not be too many, preferably 1 - 2. Too many will cause video stuttering. Therefore, selection can be made among the key frames, and only one of the key frames with a relatively close distance can be retained.

[0045] S102. The instrument and the intelligent cockpit are started and communication is established.

[0046] In some embodiments, in order to synchronize the playback of the startup linkage animation, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit need to support communication and perform synchronization in the following way through software communication.

[0047] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, after the instrument and cockpit system are started, their own startup animation resource files are read, and decompression and parsing operations are completed. In this embodiment, the communication method between the instrument and the cockpit is a socket connection. In addition to the socket connection, communication methods such as serial ports and SPIs can also be used for connection. This embodiment only uses the socket as an example.

[0048] When the system is started, the surfaceflinger service instantiates bootanim, and the startup animation bootanim process of the cockpit is started. The initialization thread signalThread is used for communication. It establishes communication with the instrument through the socket, and then turns on the backlight to prepare to play the animation. The socket node is: / data / df_bootanim / bootanimsync.

[0049] S103. When a play instruction is received, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit start playing the startup linkage animation simultaneously.

[0050] In some embodiments, the instrument sends a message to start playing (the data segment is 0x01) to notify the cockpit to start playing the animation. Both sides play together with the same video frame rate. Of course, it can also be the cockpit that notifies the instrument to start playing the animation. If neither side receives the message to start playing within 2 seconds, it will automatically start playing.

[0051] The content of the message sent is assembled into data according to a certain format.

[0052] S104. During the playback process, when at least one of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit plays to a certain key frame, the key frame signal is sent to the other through communication.

[0053] In some embodiments, both sides agree that the starting frame involving content interaction is the key frame. When one side plays to the key frame, it notifies the other side, and the other side directly jumps to the key frame to start playing, ensuring that the pictures with interactive content are played simultaneously on both sides.

[0054] S105. When the other of the instrument and the intelligent cockpit receives the key frame signal, it judges whether to play the key frame synchronously currently; if so, continue to play; if not, jump to the key frame to play.

[0055] In some embodiments, after the bootanim process of the startup animation service reads the animation resource file, it parses it, and then sends the content to the screen driver for display in sequence. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when the key frame signal is received, the following logical judgment is made:

[0056] When the key frame has not been played before and the key frame signal is received, jump to the key frame to play;

[0057] It has been synchronized to the key frame and continues to play.

[0058] In this way, synchronous playback is achieved. After playback is completed, a notification is sent to the other party; the card that finishes playing first stays on the last frame of the screen, waiting for the other party to finish playing simultaneously. After both parties finish playing together, they exit the boot animation screen together.

[0059] Specifically, if one of the systems fails to start in time during startup and cannot establish a communication connection, this unit continues to play without synchronizing the playback with the other system. There is no need to wait after the final playback is completed, and it can exit directly.

[0060] As described above, the method for linking the instrument and the intelligent cockpit boot animation of this application realizes the synchronization of the boot animation through software. The synchronization method is to notify the other party when one party takes the lead in playing to the key frame, so that the playback progress of both parties is the same. It is decoupled from the hardware facilities and does not require precious hardware resources for synchronization signals, and can be transplanted on multiple platforms. When a system fails, it will not cause the black screen phenomenon to occur on several screens at the same time, and the normally started system can play its own boot animation.

[0061] The embodiment of this application also provides another method for linking the instrument and the intelligent cockpit boot animation. The principle and idea of this embodiment are basically the same as those of the previous embodiment. The difference is that: the instrument and the intelligent cockpit are jointly connected to a third device, and the third device sends a playback instruction to the instrument and the intelligent cockpit at the same time to notify the instrument and the intelligent cockpit to start playing the boot linkage animation at the same time. The third device can be a controller. In addition, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit can also communicate through the third device.

[0062] It should be noted that the steps shown in the above process or the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here. For example, step S101 can also be after step S102.

[0063] The embodiment of this application also provides a device for linking the instrument and the intelligent cockpit boot animation. These devices are used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation manners, and those that have been described will not be repeated. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and contemplated.

[0068] The startup animation can be placed in the instrument, or in the cockpit, or stored in a third device and then transmitted to the instrument and the intelligent cockpit when needed. Of course, the instrument and the intelligent cockpit can also each store a copy of the startup animation to prevent the inability to play due to the failure of the other device.
