[0002] Currently, whether it's a traditional fuel vehicle or an electric vehicle, users have two ways to adjust the temperature inside their vehicle using the air conditioner: remote control via a mobile phone app, or manual operation via the interactive screen inside the vehicle. However, in the heat of summer or winter, if the user forgets to remotely control the air conditioner in advance, they will have to endure abnormal temperatures for a period of time after getting in the vehicle, which is very uncomfortable. Furthermore, they will need to manually adjust the air volume and temperature of the air conditioner based on the environment inside and outside the vehicle, which will make the user feel extremely uncomfortable and inconvenient, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, how to achieve a suitable temperature inside the vehicle without manual operation before getting in the vehicle has become a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0031] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In addition, in order to be able to understand the characteristics and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through a plurality of details. However, in the absence of these details, one or more embodiments can still be implemented. In other cases, to simplify the drawings, well-known structures and devices can be simplified for display.

[0032] The vehicle air conditioning control method provided in this embodiment is applied to a vehicle air conditioning control device, which can be installed in an electronic control unit (ECU) in a vehicle or an extended domain controller (XCU) of the vehicle, and is used to control the air conditioning to execute any of the vehicle air conditioning control methods mentioned in this embodiment.

[0033] In order to improve the current problem that when controlling the vehicle air conditioning, the user needs to manually click when the vehicle environment is uncomfortable and the operation is cumbersome, resulting in poor user experience, this embodiment proposes a vehicle air conditioning control method. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0034] S101 , when it is detected that the vehicle unlocking device is within a preset range around the vehicle, predicting the arrival time of the user.

[0035] The vehicle unlocking device, which includes a car key or smartphone, sends a Bluetooth signal to wake up the vehicle's domain controller, enabling vehicle control. Predicting the user's arrival time means that the maximum distance at which a vehicle key (carried by the user) can be detected is currently between several dozen and a hundred meters. In this embodiment, 80 meters is used. Based on the average walking speed of pedestrians, it can be calculated that the time from detecting a pedestrian approaching the vehicle is approximately one minute. Therefore, the user's arrival time is one minute.

[0036] S102: Based on the arrival time, control the air conditioner to enter a first working mode to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.

[0037] When the vehicle domain controller (XCU) is awakened, it can control the air conditioning and ventilation based on the vehicle's current battery level and arrival time. Specifically, if the SOC is less than 30% (calibrable), the smart air conditioning is disabled. If it exceeds 30%, the air conditioning is enabled and the ventilation control strategy is implemented.

[0038] The first working mode here refers to the time when the user enters the preset range of the vehicle, indicating that the vehicle will be driven in the future. The interior of the vehicle is ventilated before the user enters the vehicle. The purpose is to expel the cold / hot air accumulated in the vehicle to avoid an uncomfortable driving environment.

[0039] It should also be noted that the purpose of ventilation is to expel accumulated hot and cold air in the car, as well as the poor air quality inside the car caused by stagnant air circulation. Use normal temperature air to blow away the cold / hot air in the car, thereby creating a relatively comfortable environment inside the car. For example, if the temperature outside is currently -20 degrees Celsius, the car may not be very warm after ventilation in the first mode (for example, -4-5 degrees Celsius), just to avoid the feeling of being as cold as an ice cellar, which is conducive to temperature adjustment in the second working mode and reduces the time of the second working mode.

[0040] S103, after the arrival time has passed, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the second working mode, and the temperature is adjusted in combination with the current temperature inside the vehicle until the temperature inside the vehicle is adjusted to a preset temperature.

[0041] The meaning of "passing the arrival time" is that within one minute from the time the user walks towards the vehicle to the time they enter the vehicle, the vehicle will discharge cold / hot air through the first working mode to avoid an uncomfortable environment. Then, after the user enters the vehicle, it enters the second working mode, the purpose of which is to ensure that the temperature inside the vehicle is quickly adjusted to a comfortable preset temperature (such as 22 degrees). Specifically, according to the ambient temperature, it is divided into ultra-fast cooling and ultra-fast heating functions. The air conditioning performance includes front and rear air conditioning on, A / C on, X-speed wind, internal circulation, and three-blowing modes to adjust the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0042] S104, after adjusting to the preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter the third working mode, and using the autonomous adjustment information to adaptively adjust the vehicle interior environment.

[0043] The autonomous adjustment information includes one or more of the current interior and exterior temperature, historical temperature information, user-set temperature, CO2 concentration, and air quality parameters. The third operating mode is when the interior temperature reaches a comfortable level. In addition to temperature, the system also adaptively adjusts the interior environment based on other factors, such as air quality.

[0044] In this embodiment, upon detecting the presence of a vehicle unlocking device within a preset range of the vehicle, the user's arrival time is predicted. Based on this arrival time, the air conditioner is controlled to enter a first operating mode. This first operating mode primarily ventilates the vehicle interior, exhausting cold and hot air to prevent an uncomfortable interior environment and a negative user experience. After the arrival time has passed and the user enters the vehicle, the air conditioner enters a second operating mode, adjusting the interior temperature based on the current interior temperature. This primarily aims to quickly bring the interior temperature to a preset value, creating a favorable driving environment for the user. Finally, after reaching the preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to enter a third operating mode. This adaptive adjustment utilizes autonomous adjustment information to adaptively adjust the interior environment. This adaptive adjustment incorporates various parameters, including interior and exterior temperatures, user habits, interior air quality, and carbon dioxide levels. This creates an optimal driving environment for the user, even when the interior temperature is already optimal. Compared to related technologies, this embodiment allows the interior environment to be adjusted to an appropriate temperature before use, without manual intervention, providing a more convenient and comfortable riding experience. This solves the problem of how to achieve a comfortable interior temperature by controlling the air conditioner before boarding the vehicle without manual intervention.

[0045] Furthermore, the system categorizes the process into different phases: before entering the vehicle, after entering the vehicle, and after adjusting the vehicle to the preset temperature. Targeted measures are implemented for each phase, addressing the current user pain point of a poor driving environment. Furthermore, the entire process is user-involved, with the in-vehicle air conditioning automatically activated without any user interaction, creating a comfortable in-vehicle environment. This improves the current issue of manual air conditioning control, which requires users to select the desired setting when the vehicle is uncomfortable, resulting in a cumbersome and poor user experience.

[0046] Optionally, before predicting the user's arrival time, the method also includes: when monitoring that the current time is the preset wake-up time, controlling the air conditioner to enter the fourth working mode to adjust the temperature inside the car to the preset temperature; the preset wake-up time is set in advance by the user; when the temperature inside the car is adjusted to the preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to exit the fourth working mode and providing an information prompt.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fourth operating mode, also called pre-conditioning, also adjusts the temperature, but its purpose is different from the second operating mode. While exhaust air only in the first operating mode can minimize the freezing cold or stifling heat upon entering the vehicle, it makes it difficult to rapidly increase or decrease the temperature, placing significant pressure on the second operating mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, upon detecting that the current time matches a preset time, the air conditioner is controlled to pre-condition the vehicle interior, adjusting the temperature to the preset value. For example, at 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM (the user can modify this preset time via the app or the vehicle), the XCU automatically wakes up and turns on the air conditioner, automatically performing pre-conditioning. For example, if the interior temperature is 31°C, pre-conditioning brings it down to 26°C. After exhaust air in the first operating mode and cooling in the second operating mode, the temperature is quickly brought down to 22°C. This significantly shortens the duration of the second operating mode and reduces the pressure, ensuring that the user does not experience discomfort upon entering the vehicle. Furthermore, the pre-conditioning process can also include snow removal (wiping), defogging, and interior air conditioning. If the temperature is adjusted to the preset temperature only through pre-adjustment, the user can also be reminded by sending a message to the user that "the pre-adjustment in the car is completed and the temperature in the car is comfortable."

[0048] Optionally, based on the arrival time, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the first working mode to ventilate the vehicle, including: obtaining the current battery power information, and obtaining the outside temperature when the battery power information is higher than the power threshold; using the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle and the arrival time to determine the air conditioning power and circulation mode, and performing ventilation according to the air conditioning power and circulation mode within the arrival time.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the vehicle domain controller (XCU) is awakened, it controls the air conditioning and performs ventilation based on the vehicle's current battery level and arrival time. Specifically, if the SOC is less than 30% (calibrable), the intelligent air conditioning is disabled. If it exceeds 30%, the air conditioning is enabled and a ventilation control strategy is implemented. The ventilation strategy involves determining the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle, determining the air conditioning power and circulation mode based on this temperature difference and the arrival time, and then performing ventilation based on the air conditioning power and circulation mode within the arrival time, thereby ventilating the vehicle interior.

[0050] Optionally, after performing ventilation processing according to the air conditioning power and circulation mode within the arrival time, the method further includes: predicting and updating the arrival time in real time, and adjusting the air conditioning power and circulation mode in combination with the most recently updated arrival time.

[0051] In this embodiment, the arrival time can be updated in real time, and the air conditioning power and circulation mode are adjusted according to the latest arrival time. For example, if the first predicted time is T1, the air conditioning wind of the X1 gear and the three-blow mode (referring to multiple air conditioning outlets in different positions) are used for ventilation in an external circulation manner. If the user accelerates and the second predicted time is T2, the user will arrive early, and the air volume will be changed from X1 gear to X2 gear. Other states can be adjusted according to specific circumstances. This makes the air exchange efficiency higher.

[0052] Optionally, after adjusting to the preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the third working mode, and the autonomous adjustment information is used to adaptively adjust the vehicle environment, including: querying historical temperature information, and controlling the air conditioner according to the user-calibrated temperature when the current temperature inside and outside the vehicle is consistent with the historical temperature information; turning on the defogger function when a risk of fogging is detected; turning on the ventilation function when the carbon dioxide concentration in the vehicle is detected to be higher than the concentration threshold; and turning on the air purification function when the air quality parameters are detected to be lower than the air quality threshold.

[0053] In this embodiment, after passing through the second working mode, the temperature inside the car has reached 22 degrees, which is comfortable for the human body. Then the third working mode is executed, that is, the adaptive adjustment strategy, to ensure that the temperature inside the car remains stable at a comfortable temperature. The air conditioner is characterized by AUTO1 gear for front and rear air volume, AUTO circulation and AUTO air outlet mode.

[0054] In addition to maintaining the temperature, the system can also perform adaptive adjustments based on autonomous adjustment information. This includes querying historical temperature information. If the current indoor and outdoor temperatures are consistent with these historical temperature information, the air conditioner will be controlled according to the user's calibrated temperature. The historical temperature information here refers to whether the indoor and outdoor temperatures during the previous execution are consistent with the current indoor and outdoor temperatures. In this case, the system queries whether there is a calibrated temperature pre-entered by the user or obtained based on user habits. The air conditioner is then controlled according to the user's calibrated temperature. For example, if the indoor temperature reaches 22 degrees Celsius, and the current indoor and outdoor temperatures are consistent with the previous driving temperature, and the user has pre-entered this temperature state, and the user is accustomed to driving in an environment of 20 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner will be controlled according to the user's calibrated temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, meeting the user's personalized settings and intelligent needs.

[0055] In addition, it can also perform automatic defogger functions according to the risk of fogging, automatic ventilation functions according to the CO2 concentration in the car, automatic air purification functions according to the AQS concentration in the car, automatic opening and closing of the air conditioner according to seat occupancy, and other functions. Finally, the XCU will feed back all the output information of the air conditioner to the human-computer interaction system and the cloud in real time.

[0056] Optionally, after adjusting to the preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to enter a third working mode, and the temperature inside the vehicle is adaptively adjusted using autonomous adjustment information. The method also includes: adjusting the temperature inside the vehicle in response to the temperature input by the user; uploading the temperature input by the user and the temperature inside and outside the vehicle to the cloud for recording, saving the temperature inside and outside the vehicle as historical temperature information, and saving the temperature input by the user as the user-calibrated temperature.

[0057] In this embodiment, after entering the third operating mode, the user-entered temperature, i.e., the temperature entered by the user in the vehicle-mounted interface, is uploaded to the cloud along with the current vehicle interior and exterior temperatures for recording as historical temperature information and the user-calibrated temperature. This portion, representing the user's personalized setting, is saved as historical information so that the user-entered temperature can be used for adjustment in the next vehicle interior and exterior temperature conditions.

[0058] Optionally, the temperature input by the user and the temperature inside and outside the vehicle are uploaded to the cloud for recording, including: recording the user's user information and the temperature input by the user; the user information includes at least one of age, gender, body temperature, and seat occupancy information; the user information and the corresponding input temperature, and the temperature inside and outside the vehicle are stored in the cloud.

[0059] In this embodiment, to match the air conditioning needs of all users, the air volume output by the smart air conditioner and the set temperature of 22 degrees may not meet all user needs, and the air volume and temperature may need to be adjusted again. In this case, the intelligent adaptive air conditioning strategy stores the interior and exterior temperatures at the time of the user adjustment, the temperature input by the user, and user information. After the vehicle is powered off, this information is stored in the EEPROM memory for automatic updating and temperature setting the next time. This allows the system to automatically update and set the temperature the next time the third operating mode is executed, using the air volume and temperature set by the user under the same operating conditions, thus achieving intelligent adaptive control. Furthermore, for different user information and temperatures, at least one of the user's age, gender, body temperature, and seat occupancy information is also recorded and stored. This allows the system to directly provide the user-entered temperature the next time the system identifies the user (the interior and exterior temperatures must be consistent or similar to the previous temperature for the user-entered temperature to be used as the target temperature), thus improving the user experience.

[0060] Figure 2 A flow chart of another vehicle air conditioning control method proposed in this embodiment is shown, including:

[0061] S201 , when the current time is the same as the preset time, pre-adjust the vehicle interior environment.

[0062] This embodiment illustrates the vehicle air conditioning control method using an outdoor temperature of 29°C, an interior temperature of 32°C, a preset temperature of 22°C, and preset times of 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM. At 1:00 PM, the vehicle's XCU wakes up to pre-condition the interior. Pre-conditioning not only adjusts the temperature but also includes snow removal (wiping), defogging, and interior air conditioning. If the user decides not to travel, they can cancel pre-conditioning through the app.

[0063] The preconditioning process typically doesn't take too long, nor does it require excessive air conditioning power for rapid cooling. The specific duration depends on the user's settings or when the user enters the vehicle's preset range to control the air conditioning's first operating mode. After preconditioning, the interior temperature can be lowered from 32°C to 26°C, significantly reducing the duration of the second operating mode and quickly achieving a comfortable temperature for the user.

[0064] S202 : When it is detected that the vehicle unlocking device is within a preset range around the vehicle, the user's arrival time is predicted.

[0065] Predicting the user's arrival time means that at this stage, the farthest distance at which the vehicle key (carried by the user) is detected is about tens to one hundred meters. Based on the average walking speed, it can be roughly determined how long it will take for the user to enter the car. If the pre-adjustment time is short, there is still a lot of heat in the car and it is quite stuffy, so the first working mode needs to be used for ventilation.

[0066] S203: Determine whether the current battery level is higher than the battery level threshold. If not, proceed to S2041; if so, proceed to S2042.

[0067] When the vehicle domain controller XCU is awakened, it controls the air conditioning to perform ventilation according to the current vehicle battery information and arrival time. Specifically, if the SOC is less than 30% (calibrable), the smart air conditioning will not be turned on.

[0068] S2041, not enabled.

[0069] S2042, using the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle and the arrival time, determines the air conditioning power and circulation mode, and performs ventilation according to the air conditioning power and circulation mode within the arrival time.

[0070] If it exceeds 30%, the air conditioning is turned on and the ventilation control strategy is implemented. Specifically, since the current temperature inside the car is lower than the outside temperature after pre-conditioning to 26 degrees Celsius, and there is about one minute left before arrival, it is only necessary to ensure the current air circulation inside the car. This is mainly to circulate the air inside the car and exchange it with the outside air appropriately to avoid completely dissipating the cold air.

[0071] In addition, the arrival time can be updated in real time, and the air conditioning power and circulation mode can be adjusted according to the latest arrival time.

[0072] S205, after the arrival time has passed, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the second working mode, and the temperature is adjusted in combination with the current temperature inside the vehicle until the temperature inside the vehicle is adjusted to a preset temperature.

[0073] The purpose of the second working mode is to ensure that the temperature in the car is quickly adjusted to a comfortable preset temperature (such as 22 degrees). Specifically, according to the ambient temperature, it is divided into ultra-fast cooling and ultra-fast heating functions. The air-conditioning performance includes turning on the front and rear air-conditioning, A / C, X-speed wind, internal circulation, and three-blowing modes to adjust the temperature in the car. Since the temperature in the car has been reduced to 26 degrees after pre-adjustment and the first working mode, the time of this working mode will not be too long, so it can be quickly reduced to the preset temperature. When the temperature in the car is 22 degrees, the air conditioner is automatically turned off. In addition, in the second working mode, the air-conditioning performance can also include automatic snow removal (wiper processing), automatic defogger, etc. to judge extreme weather conditions and automatically select the corresponding processing method, so as to provide users with a better driving experience.

[0074] S206, after adjusting to the preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter the third working mode, and using the autonomous adjustment information to adaptively adjust the vehicle interior environment.

[0075] After dropping to 22°C, the interior environment is adaptively adjusted based on the autonomous adjustment information. While maintaining the temperature at 22°C, dynamic adjustments continue based on one or more of the current interior and exterior temperatures, historical temperature information, user-set temperatures, CO2 concentration, and air quality parameters. Specifically, if historical temperature information reveals that the user previously selected a calibrated temperature of 24°C under similar interior and exterior temperature conditions, the temperature can be slowly adjusted to 24°C, or the average of 22°C and 24°C (23°C) can be used as the target temperature. Adaptive adjustments also include adjustments to CO2 concentration, air quality, and other parameters.

[0076] To meet the air conditioning needs of all users, the air volume and temperature setting of 22 degrees Celsius output by the smart air conditioner may not meet all user needs, and the air volume and temperature may need to be adjusted again. In this case, the intelligent adaptive air conditioning strategy will store the interior and exterior temperatures at the time of adjustment, the current preset temperature value, user information, and user settings. After the vehicle is powered off, this data will be stored in the EEPROM memory for automatic updating of the output air volume and preset temperature the next time. This way, the next time adaptive adjustment is performed, the user's set air volume and temperature under the same operating conditions will be used first, achieving intelligent adaptive control.

[0077] In this embodiment, the interior environment of the vehicle can be adjusted to a suitable temperature in advance when the vehicle is used without manual operation, bringing a more convenient and comfortable riding experience. It solves the problem of how to control the operation of the air conditioner before getting in the vehicle without manual operation so that the interior space reaches a suitable temperature. At the same time, it achieves complete zero user intervention. The air conditioner in the vehicle can be automatically turned on without operating any air conditioner buttons. It also intelligently matches the user's needs based on the current environment in the vehicle, ultimately providing the user with a comfortable temperature and environment in the vehicle. The system divides the stages before the user enters the vehicle, after entering the vehicle, and after adjusting to the preset temperature, and takes targeted measures for each stage, solving the current pain point of users having a poor driving environment. It creates a comfortable in-car environment for users and improves the current problem that when controlling the vehicle air conditioner, users need to manually click when the in-car environment is uncomfortable, and the operation is cumbersome, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0099] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art will clearly understand that this application can be implemented using software plus the necessary general hardware platform, or it can be implemented using hardware. Compared to related technologies, the solution of this embodiment first detects the presence of a vehicle unlocking device within a preset range of the vehicle, predicts the user's arrival time, and then controls the air conditioner to enter a first operating mode based on the arrival time. The first operating mode primarily ventilates the vehicle interior, exhausting cold / hot air from the vehicle interior to prevent an uncomfortable interior environment and a negative user experience. After the arrival time, the user enters the vehicle, and the air conditioner enters a second operating mode, adjusting the interior temperature based on the current interior temperature. The main purpose is to quickly adjust the interior temperature to a preset temperature, thereby creating a good driving environment for the user. Finally, after adjusting to the preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to enter a third operating mode, using autonomous adjustment information to adaptively adjust the interior environment. This adaptive adjustment combines various parameters such as the interior and exterior temperature, user habits, interior air quality, and carbon dioxide content to create a more optimal driving environment for the user from all aspects, based on the already suitable interior temperature. Compared with related technologies, this embodiment can adjust the interior environment of the vehicle to a suitable temperature in advance when the vehicle is used without manual operation, bringing a more convenient and comfortable riding experience. It solves the problem of how to control the operation of the air conditioner before getting on the vehicle without manual operation so that the interior space reaches a suitable temperature. In addition, the stages before the user enters the vehicle, after entering the vehicle, and after adjusting to the preset temperature are divided, and targeted measures are taken for each stage to solve the current pain point of users having a poor driving environment. In addition, the entire process achieves zero user intervention, and the automatic execution of the air conditioning in the vehicle can be achieved without any user operation, creating a comfortable interior environment for the user, and improving the current problem that when controlling the vehicle air conditioning, the user needs to manually click when the interior environment is uncomfortable, the operation is cumbersome, and the user experience is poor.
