[0017] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0018] The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a smart cockpit, which is applied in a control system of a smart cockpit. The system includes:
[0020] A central control unit, communicating with the vehicle's CAN bus, is used to integrate a task priority arbitration algorithm to manage tasks according to the algorithm;
[0021] The human-computer interaction module is set inside the vehicle and includes multiple interaction modes for receiving and processing the driver's interaction instructions;
[0022] Environmental perception module, including multiple sensors, for real-time monitoring of the environmental conditions inside and outside the vehicle;
[0023] The cargo hold management unit, including the cargo hold door, ventilation device and cockpit display screen, is used to obtain monitoring information from the environmental perception module and manage the cargo hold status based on the information.
[0024] In one embodiment, the human-computer interaction module includes:
[0025] The voice interaction submodule is equipped with a directional microphone array and a deep learning noise reduction model. The voice interaction submodule is used to recognize voice commands;
[0026] The gesture interaction submodule is used to recognize various gesture commands, including swiping with one hand to control the cargo door and clenching a fist to activate emergency braking;
[0027] The biometric authentication submodule is equipped with multiple biometric authentication methods and is used to configure the driver based on the biometric characteristics.
[0028] In one embodiment, the environment perception module includes:
[0029] Cockpit cameras, used to monitor the pilot's behavior and the cockpit environment;
[0030] Cargo hold temperature and humidity sensor, used to monitor the temperature and humidity in the cargo hold in real time;
[0031] Cargo weight sensor, used to monitor the weight of cargo in the cargo hold and connect with the cargo hold management unit;
[0032] Driver status monitoring module, used to monitor driver fatigue and distraction in real time.
[0033] In one embodiment, the method includes:
[0034] S101 , receiving an interaction instruction issued by a driver, and parsing and executing the interaction instruction through a task priority arbitration algorithm of the central control unit.
[0035] The system utilizes a directional microphone array combined with a deep learning noise reduction model to achieve accurate speech recognition with a rate of at least 95% in a noise environment of 70dB. Furthermore, the system includes a dedicated gesture library, encompassing 10 gesture commands, including a single-hand swipe to control the cargo door and a clenched fist to activate emergency braking, to meet diverse operational needs. Furthermore, through fingerprint or voiceprint authentication, the system can automatically load the driver's personalized configuration, such as seat position and frequently used routes, enhancing driving convenience and comfort.
[0036] S102. Determine a task priority according to the driving state of the vehicle, and determine a corresponding management mode according to the task priority, wherein the driving state includes driving and loading and unloading, and the management mode includes driving mode and loading and unloading mode.
[0037] The system implements a dynamic task priority management strategy: in driving mode, non-essential touch operations are disabled while the vehicle is in motion to ensure driving safety. At the same time, the response delay of voice commands is strictly controlled within 0.3 seconds to ensure the immediacy of interaction. In loading and unloading mode, the system automatically switches to the cargo hold management interface, provides an electronic signature scanning function, and supports voice verification of the cargo list, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of loading and unloading operations.
[0038] S103: Determine the driver's fatigue and distraction behavior, and determine a safety reminder mechanism based on the fatigue and distraction behavior, so as to control the vehicle according to the safety reminder mechanism.
[0039] The system is equipped with safety enhancement mechanisms, including graded fatigue warnings and distraction blocking. The graded fatigue warning system monitors the driver's fatigue status in real time. If mild fatigue is detected, such as blinking more than 15 times per minute, a voice reminder will be issued. If severe fatigue is detected, such as an abnormal heart rate accompanied by persistent yawning, the system will contact the dispatch center and automatically limit the vehicle speed to ensure driving safety. Regarding distraction blocking, if the system detects that the driver's eyes are away from the road for more than two seconds, the entertainment system functions will be immediately suspended and the central control screen interface will be reduced to reduce driving distraction and ensure driving concentration.
[0040] S104. Obtain the cargo hold status, determine a corresponding control mechanism according to the cargo hold status, and control the cargo hold according to the control mechanism.
[0041] The system realizes the linkage control function of the cargo hold and the cockpit: when the cargo hold is overloaded or not closed tightly, the system will warn the driver by means of seat vibration and flashing red frame on the screen; at the same time, the system can also automatically adjust the ventilation frequency of the cargo hold according to the type of cargo, such as fresh food, and synchronously display the temperature and humidity change curve on the cockpit display screen to ensure the environmental stability of the cargo during transportation.
[0042] In one embodiment, in the loading and unloading scenario, the system has designed an efficient interactive process: when the vehicle is parked, the system will automatically switch to loading and unloading mode through GPS positioning; then, the driver can use gestures to call up the cargo compartment management interface, and use the scanning function to read the cargo QR code to generate an electronic list; if the weight sensor detects that the cargo is overloaded during the closing process of the cargo compartment door, the system will immediately trigger a voice alarm, prompting "The cargo is overweight by 200kg, please reallocate"; after the loading and unloading operation is completed, the driver can sign the electronic receipt through touch operation and upload it to the cloud for storage and management.
[0043] In one embodiment, in the long-distance driving safety intervention mechanism, the system uses biosensors to continuously monitor the driver's driving status. When it detects that the driver has been driving continuously for 4 hours and the heart rate variability coefficient is lower than the preset safety threshold, the system will immediately initiate safety intervention measures: first, it will prompt the driver through voice "It is recommended to stop at the rest stop 2km ahead" and simultaneously lock the video playback function of the central control screen to reduce distraction; if the driver chooses to refuse to rest, the system will trigger a seat vibration reminder every 15 minutes until the driver stops to rest, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of long-distance driving.
[0044] This invention significantly improves the efficiency of scenario-based interactions. During loading and unloading, compared to the traditional method that requires multiple touches or buttons to operate the cargo door and the cumbersome process of paper receipt, this invention allows for easy door opening with a simple swipe gesture. Combined with AR cargo space visualization technology and electronic receipt scanning, this significantly reduces overall operation time by 40%. To effectively control distraction during long-distance driving, the system automatically hides non-driving screens, such as entertainment functions, when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km / h, significantly reducing the risk of distraction. Secondly, in terms of safety, this invention uses composite fatigue detection technology to reduce false alarm rates by 62% compared to single-sensor solutions, effectively improving fatigue detection accuracy. Furthermore, the cargo compartment safety linkage mechanism ensures rapid response to abnormal situations such as overloading or unsecured cargo compartments, with an alarm response delay of less than 0.5 seconds, achieving a 90% efficiency improvement compared to traditional manual inspection methods. Finally, in terms of commercial value, this invention demonstrates a differentiated competitive advantage. By automatically uploading driver status data to the logistics scheduling platform, the efficiency of abnormal event handling has increased by 75%, contributing to the intelligent and efficient management of fleets. In addition, the system can also issue abnormal warnings for temperature and humidity of goods, effectively reducing transportation losses of fresh food, medicines and other goods, with the actual loss rate dropping by 18%.
