[0042] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0043] It should be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or". For example, A / B may represent A or B; herein, "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0044] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. The singular forms "a" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0045] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the embodiments of the present disclosure to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the words "if" and "when" as used herein may be interpreted as "when" or "when" or "in response to a determination".

[0046] It should be noted that in the technical solution of the present disclosure, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, and disclosure of user personal information comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good customs.

[0047] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an intelligent vehicle control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. It should be noted that the intelligent vehicle may be a vehicle with an autonomous driving mode (also called an autonomous driving function), and the intelligent vehicle includes various sensors, such as cameras, radar sensors (including but not limited to millimeter-wave radars), etc. As Figure 1 shown, the intelligent vehicle control method is used in an intelligent vehicle, and the method may include but is not limited to the following steps.

[0048] In step 101, the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on.

[0049] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle may provide a one - key privacy mode. Exemplarily, this one - key privacy mode can be used to protect the privacy of external vehicle information or to protect camera privacy. For example, when the one - key privacy mode is turned on, the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer can be disconnected to prevent the external vehicle information collected by the camera from being output to an external device through the deserializer. The external device is another device relative to the camera (such as a driving recorder, a panoramic parking imaging system, an autonomous driving system, etc.). Exemplarily, when the one - key privacy mode is turned on, the camera can be turned off to disconnect the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer. Exemplarily, when the one - key privacy mode is turned on, the operation of I2C is used to disconnect the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer. In this case, the camera is in the powered - on or startup state, but the camera cannot output the collected data.

[0050] In some embodiments, the external vehicle information may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: external vehicle image information; external vehicle audio information, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, in response to the first specific button on the interaction interface being touched, the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on, where the interaction interface is displayed on the in - vehicle terminal of the intelligent vehicle. Exemplarily, the interaction interface on the in - vehicle terminal has a first specific button (such as the start button of the one - key privacy mode). When the driver or other passengers touch the first specific button on the interaction interface, the intelligent vehicle can respond to the touch operation of the first specific button and turn on the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0052] In some embodiments, it can be determined that the intelligent vehicle drives into a sensitive area according to the position information of the intelligent vehicle and / or the surrounding environment of the intelligent vehicle, and the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on. Exemplarily, the intelligent vehicle can determine that it drives into a sensitive area according to its own position information and then turn on the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle. Or, when the intelligent vehicle determines that it drives into a sensitive area according to its own surrounding environment, the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on. Or, when the intelligent vehicle determines that it drives into a sensitive area according to its own position information combined with its surrounding environment, the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on.

[0053] Exemplarily, the above - mentioned position information of the intelligent vehicle can be obtained by the positioning system on the intelligent vehicle, or can also be obtained by other means. The present disclosure does not make a limitation on this and will not elaborate further. The above - mentioned surrounding environment of the intelligent vehicle can be obtained by the camera on the intelligent vehicle, or can also be obtained by other means. The present disclosure does not make a limitation on this and will not elaborate further.

[0054] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, terms such as "one-key privacy mode", "one-key privacy function", "one-key privacy protection mode", and "one-key privacy protection function" can be replaced with each other.

[0055] In step 102, disconnect the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializers.

[0056] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the one-key privacy mode is turned on, disconnect the connection between at least one camera (i.e., one or more cameras) on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializers.

[0057] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the one-key privacy mode is turned on, disconnect the connection between all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializers. Exemplarily, disconnect the connection between all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializers in sequence, or the connection between all these cameras and the corresponding deserializers can also be disconnected simultaneously. Exemplarily, taking turning off the cameras to disconnect the connection between the cameras and the corresponding deserializers as an example, all these cameras can be turned off one by one, or can be turned off simultaneously, or multiple cameras can be turned off simultaneously until all are turned off.

[0058] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the one-key privacy mode is turned on, disconnect the connection between the cameras associated with the one-key privacy mode and the corresponding deserializers. In one possible implementation, the cameras associated with the one-key privacy mode can be configured by the driver. In another possible implementation, the cameras associated with the one-key privacy mode can be default-configured.

[0059] Exemplarily, an interaction interface is displayed on the in-vehicle terminal of the intelligent vehicle, and the interaction interface has a one-key privacy mode setting function for setting the cameras to be turned off when the one-key privacy mode is turned on. For example, the driver can set the cameras matched with the one-key privacy mode through this setting function. In this way, when the one-key privacy mode is turned on, the connection between the corresponding cameras and the corresponding deserializers needs to be disconnected. As an example, the cameras associated with the one-key privacy mode can be one camera on the intelligent vehicle, or multiple cameras on the intelligent vehicle, or all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle.

[0060] In step 103, perform safe driving control on the intelligent vehicle according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0061] In some embodiments, the modes of the intelligent vehicle may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: Driving Video Recorder (DVR) mode, panoramic parking mode, and autonomous driving mode. The modes of the intelligent vehicle may also include other modes, which are not defined herein and will not be elaborated further.

[0062] Exemplarily, when disconnecting the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserialiser, the current mode of the intelligent vehicle may be determined, and the intelligent vehicle may be controlled for safe driving according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0063] In some embodiments, the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: DVR mode; panoramic parking mode; autonomous driving mode.

[0064] It should be noted that the external vehicle information collected by the camera can be used as the input of the panoramic parking image system associated with the panoramic parking mode. Then, the panoramic parking image system can process the input external vehicle information to form a panoramic image around the intelligent vehicle to assist parking. The external vehicle information collected by the camera is used as the input of the DVR mode. Then, the DVR can store the input external vehicle information to record the images and sounds during the driving of the intelligent vehicle, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. The external vehicle information collected by the camera is used as the input of the autonomous driving perception algorithm associated with the autonomous driving mode. Then, the autonomous driving perception algorithm performs perception processing on the input external vehicle information to enable the intelligent vehicle to have autonomous driving capabilities and achieve the autonomous driving of the intelligent vehicle. Therefore, when disconnecting the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserialiser, the intelligent vehicle can be controlled for safe driving according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0065] It should be noted that if the uses of the external vehicle information collected by the at least one camera are different, the safe driving control of the intelligent vehicle will also be different. That is to say, if the current mode of the intelligent vehicle is different, the safe driving control of the intelligent vehicle will also be different.

[0066] In some embodiments, if the current mode of the above intelligent vehicle includes the DVR mode, a first preset screen is displayed on the display interface of the DVR. Exemplarily, if the current mode of the above intelligent vehicle includes the DVR mode, the display interface of the DVR is controlled to go black, or a preset screen is displayed, such as a screen with privacy protection reminder information, or it can also be other screens, which are not specifically defined herein. That is to say, since the DVR screen goes black or does not display external vehicle information, it usually does not affect the safe driving of the intelligent vehicle. Therefore, if the current mode of the above intelligent vehicle includes the DVR mode, a first preset screen can be displayed on the display interface of the DVR.

[0067] In some embodiments, if the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the panoramic parking mode, a second preset screen is displayed on the display interface of the in-vehicle terminal of the intelligent vehicle, and / or the radar sensor on the intelligent vehicle is used to assist the driver in parking. Exemplarily, if the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the panoramic parking mode, the display interface of the in-vehicle terminal is controlled to go black, or a preset screen is displayed on the display interface, such as a screen with privacy protection reminder information, or it can also be other screens, which are not specifically limited herein. When the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the panoramic parking mode, the radar sensor on the intelligent vehicle can also be used to assist the driver in parking.

[0068] In some embodiments, if the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the autonomous driving mode, the autonomous driving mode is exited, and the driver is reminded to take over the intelligent vehicle and / or the radar sensor is used to assist the driver in driving the intelligent vehicle. Exemplarily, if the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the autonomous driving mode, the autonomous driving mode is exited, and the driver is reminded to take over the intelligent vehicle to ensure driving safety. When the current mode of the intelligent vehicle includes the autonomous driving mode, the radar sensor on the intelligent vehicle can also be used to assist the driver in driving the intelligent vehicle.

[0069] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive, but only illustrative of some embodiments. Moreover, the above embodiments can be implemented independently or in combination. The above embodiments are only illustrative and do not specifically limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. That is to say, the current mode of the above intelligent vehicle can include one or more of the driving recorder mode, the panoramic parking mode, and the autonomous driving mode. When the current mode of the above intelligent vehicle includes multiple of the above driving recorder mode, the panoramic parking mode, and the autonomous driving mode, the corresponding safe driving control methods can also be combined to ensure the safety of the intelligent vehicle.

[0070] Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on, the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializer is disconnected, and the intelligent vehicle is controlled for safe driving according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle, so that the purpose of protecting privacy can be achieved while ensuring the safe driving of the intelligent vehicle.

[0071] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of an intelligent vehicle control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0072] In step 201, the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle is turned on.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 201 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure respectively, which is not limited herein and will not be elaborated further.

[0074] In step 202, disconnect the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserializers.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 202 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and no limitation is made here and will not be elaborated further.

[0076] In step 203, perform safe driving control on the intelligent vehicle according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 203 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and no limitation is made here and will not be elaborated further.

[0078] In step 204, during the process that the connection between at least one camera and the corresponding deserializers is in a disconnected state, stop the diagnostic-related operations on at least one camera.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the one-key privacy mode is turned on, the state of the one-key privacy mode (i.e., the one-key privacy state) can be saved to indicate whether the one-key privacy mode is turned on. If the one-key privacy mode is turned on, the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer will enter a disconnected state. If the one-key privacy mode is turned off, the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer will enter an established state. Based on this, the process in which the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer is in a disconnected state can be determined according to the state of the one-key privacy mode. Optionally, the opening time information of the one-key privacy mode, that is, the time information when the one-key privacy mode is turned on, can also be recorded. This time information can be the CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp. Thus, by using the CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp, the negative impact brought by time jumps can be reduced.

[0080] Exemplarily, during the use of the camera, diagnostic-related operations on the camera need to be performed, such as fault diagnosis of the camera, etc., to ensure the normal use of the camera. To avoid false alarms in camera diagnosis, during the process that the connection between at least one camera and the corresponding deserializer is in a disconnected state due to the one-key privacy mode being turned on, the diagnostic-related operations on these cameras can be stopped to avoid false alarms in the diagnosis of these cameras.

[0081] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, when using the one - key privacy mode of an intelligent vehicle, it can be ensured that other functions are not affected. For example, the camera diagnosis does not give false alarms. For instance, during the process that the connection between at least one camera and the corresponding deserialization device is in a disconnected state due to the activation of the one - key privacy mode, the diagnostic operations related to these cameras can be stopped to avoid false alarms in the diagnosis of these cameras.

[0082] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a method for controlling an intelligent vehicle shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0083] In step 301, activate the one - key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 301 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure respectively. No limitation is made herein and it will not be elaborated further.

[0085] In step 302, disconnect the connection between at least one camera on the intelligent vehicle and the corresponding deserialization device.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 302 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure respectively. No limitation is made herein and it will not be elaborated further.

[0087] In step 303, perform safety - driving control on the intelligent vehicle according to the current mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 303 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure respectively. No limitation is made herein and it will not be elaborated further.

[0089] In step 304, during the process that the connection between at least one camera and the corresponding deserialization device is in a disconnected state, stop the diagnostic operations related to at least one camera.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation manner of step 304 can be implemented by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure respectively. No limitation is made herein and it will not be elaborated further.

[0091] In step 305, deactivate the one - key privacy mode.

[0092] In some embodiments, in response to the second specific button on the interaction interface being touched, the one-key privacy mode is turned off, where the interaction interface is displayed on the in-vehicle terminal of the intelligent vehicle. Exemplarily, the interaction interface on the in-vehicle terminal has a second specific button (such as the off button for the one-key privacy mode). When the driver or other passengers touch the second specific button on the interaction interface, the intelligent vehicle can respond to the touch operation of the second specific button and turn off the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0093] In some embodiments, it is possible to determine that the intelligent vehicle has driven out of the sensitive area based on the position information of the intelligent vehicle and / or the surrounding environment of the intelligent vehicle, and turn off the one-key privacy mode. Exemplarily, the intelligent vehicle can determine that it has driven out of the sensitive area based on its own position information and then turn off the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle. Or, when the intelligent vehicle determines that it has driven out of the sensitive area based on its surrounding environment, it turns off the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle. Or, when the intelligent vehicle determines that it has driven out of the sensitive area based on its position information in combination with its surrounding environment, it turns off the one-key privacy mode of the intelligent vehicle.

[0094] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned position information of the intelligent vehicle can be obtained by the positioning system on the intelligent vehicle, or can also be obtained by other means. The present disclosure does not limit this here and will not elaborate further. The above-mentioned surrounding environment of the intelligent vehicle can be obtained by the camera on the intelligent vehicle, or can also be obtained by other means. The present disclosure does not limit this here and will not elaborate further.

[0095] In step 306, a connection is established between the at least one camera and the corresponding deserializer.

[0096] Exemplarily, the connection established between the camera and the corresponding deserializer is a connection that entered a disconnected state due to the activation of the one-key privacy mode. For example, if the connections between Camera 1, Camera 2 and the corresponding deserializer entered a disconnected state due to the activation of the one-key privacy mode, then when the one-key privacy mode is turned off, it is necessary to re-establish the connections between Camera 1, Camera 2 and the corresponding deserializer.

[0097] In step 307, after a preset time when the connection between the at least one camera and the corresponding deserializer returns to the established state, diagnostic-related operations on the at least one camera are resumed.

[0098] Exemplarily, the preset time can be 20 seconds, or it can also be other values. The present disclosure does not limit this here. That is to say, after a preset time when the connection between the at least one camera and the corresponding deserializer returns to the established state, diagnostic-related operations on these cameras are resumed to further avoid false alarms in camera diagnosis.

[0099] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure by those skilled in the art, the present disclosure will be described in detail below with examples.

[0100] The purpose of the one-key privacy mode of the present disclosure is to shield the camera data stream by closing the connection between the camera and the deserializer on the intelligent vehicle, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting privacy. The time taken to turn off one camera is in the millisecond level, meeting the goal of quick switching of the one-key privacy mode. Since the connection between the camera and the deserializer is disconnected, the one-key privacy function is also secure. Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the data stream collected by the camera on the intelligent vehicle is first input to the deserializer for decoding and other processing. The data stream output by the deserializer can be used as the input for the autonomous driving perception algorithm through the autonomous driving control domain (SOC1), can also be used as the input for the DVR through the autonomous driving control domain (SOC2), and can also be used as the input for the AVM function through the autonomous driving control domain (DCD).

[0101] Exemplarily, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide an external interface module. When the interface module receives a message input from the outside, it can update the one-key privacy status, record the one-key privacy status, record the timestamp information of turning on the one-key privacy mode, and then turn off all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle in sequence. As Figure 5 shown, when the driver clicks the turn-on button of the one-key privacy mode on the interaction interface of the in-vehicle terminal, the interface module can receive the turn-on command of the one-key privacy mode, and can turn off all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle in sequence; it can also update the one-key privacy status, record the one-key privacy status, and record the timestamp of turning on the one-key privacy mode. This timestamp can be used to turn off the diagnostic module on the intelligent vehicle to avoid diagnostic-related operations of the diagnostic module on the turned-off cameras. It should be noted that the "turning off the camera" involved in this embodiment can be understood as disconnecting the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer.

[0102] Exemplarily, as Figure 6 shown, when the driver clicks the turn-off button (or exit button) of the one-key privacy mode on the interaction interface of the in-vehicle terminal, the interface module can receive the turn-off command of the one-key privacy mode, and can turn on all the cameras on the intelligent vehicle in sequence; it can also update the one-key privacy status, record the one-key privacy status, and record the timestamp of turning on the one-key privacy mode. This timestamp can be used to turn on the diagnostic module on the intelligent vehicle to facilitate diagnostic-related operations of the diagnostic module on the cameras. It should be noted that the "turning on the camera" involved in this embodiment can be understood as establishing the connection between the camera and the corresponding deserializer.

[0103] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the above one-key privacy state can be implemented through a privacy state module, which can store the one-key privacy state. Exemplarily, two member variables are defined. One is a boolean variable that stores whether the one-key privacy function is enabled. A thread-safe increment module (std::atomic module) is used to avoid using locks and reduce synchronization time. The other is a timestamp variable. Each time the one-key privacy is exited, this timestamp variable needs to be updated. The main purpose of this variable is to solve the false alarm camera diagnosis problem after exiting the one-key privacy. Three member functions are defined, including: 1. A function to obtain the privacy state, which provides a query of the current one-key privacy state; 2. A function to set the privacy state, which is responsible for judging whether the one-key privacy state has changed. If it has changed, the one-key privacy state variable is updated, and if it is the exit state, it is responsible for recording the timestamp; 3. Judge whether the camera diagnosis operation can be performed currently. Since there is a problem of false alarm camera diagnosis about 5 seconds after exiting the one-key privacy mode, the diagnostic operations related to the camera can be restored after a preset threshold (such as 20 seconds) after exiting the one-key privacy mode.

[0104] In some embodiments, the connection between the camera and the deserializer can be disconnected by operating I2C or the like to turn off the camera. The connection between the camera and the deserializer can be restored by operating I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) or the like to turn on the camera.

[0105] In summary, the present disclosure can quickly achieve a one-key privacy state switch at the second level, making the user experience more friendly. When switching the one-key privacy state, other functions are not affected, such as the camera diagnosis not reporting false alarms. The one-key privacy mode has characteristics such as stability and support for the memory function.
