Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method and device for controlling the off-screen display of a vehicle-mounted screen. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use of in-vehicle screens within vehicle cabins, the problems they bring are gradually becoming apparent. On the one hand, excessive use of screens can cause optical pollution, affecting passenger comfort; on the other hand, under certain operating conditions, a large number of in-vehicle screens are often underutilized, resulting in idle resources. Furthermore, current in-vehicle screens are typically arranged over large areas within the cabin, but remain black most of the time. This not only fails to effectively enhance the aesthetics of the interior, but can also affect the overall coordination and aesthetics of the space. Therefore, how to balance visual comfort, resource utilization, and the integrity of interior design while enhancing the human-computer interaction experience has become a key issue in optimizing in-vehicle operating systems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned. They should be regarded as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of the present application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0030] The embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined unless they conflict. The acquisition, transmission, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution of the present invention comply with relevant national laws and regulations, are used for legal and reasonable purposes, are not shared, disclosed, or sold beyond these legal uses, and are subject to supervision and management by regulatory authorities.

[0031] With respect to user information, necessary measures should be taken to prevent unauthorized access to such personal information data, ensure that persons with access to such personal information data comply with relevant laws and regulations, and ensure the security of user personal information. Once such user personal information data is no longer needed, risks should be minimized by restricting or even prohibiting data collection and / or deleting the data. Where applicable, including in certain relevant applications, user privacy should be protected by de-identifying the data, for example, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth), controlling the amount or specificity of stored data (e.g., collecting location data at the city level rather than at the specific address level), controlling how the data is stored, and / or other methods of de-identification.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , which shows a main flow chart of a method for controlling the screen-off display of a vehicle-mounted screen provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0033] S101: In response to monitoring that a vehicle screen in the vehicle meets a preset screen-off display condition, displaying a screen-off display mode list;

[0034] S102: In response to a user selecting a target screen off display mode in the screen off display mode list, determining a target screen off display strategy preset for the target screen off display mode;

[0035] S103: Using the target screen-off display strategy, determine the target screen-off decoration information of the vehicle screen and display it.

[0036] In the above embodiment, for step S101, this solution is applied to the vehicle operating system for unified control of all vehicle screens in the vehicle. The system supports configuring a global screen-off display mode for the entire vehicle, and also supports independent configuration of the screen-off display mode for each vehicle screen. The vehicle screen-off display mode may include the screen-off display mode of each vehicle screen. The vehicle operating system can make a comprehensive logical judgment based on operating status signals such as one or more vehicle screens are currently in the screen-off state, or have not been used for a long time (for example, the screen-off duration reaches 5 seconds), thereby intelligently activating the screen-off display mode of the corresponding vehicle screen, thereby achieving more efficient display management and user experience optimization.

[0037] For steps S102 and S103, this solution sets two screen-off display modes for each in-vehicle screen: a recommended mode and a custom mode. Users can select the appropriate screen-off display mode from the list as their target screen-off display mode. The system pre-sets corresponding screen-off display strategies for different screen-off display modes.

[0038] In the first embodiment, when the target screen-off display mode selected by the user is the recommended mode, the system will automatically obtain the vehicle's overall interior decoration information (i.e., the first target interior decoration information), or obtain the local interior decoration information located around or relative to the vehicle-mounted screen (i.e., the second target interior decoration information) in the vehicle to determine the specific interior design style. In addition, the layout information of the screen-off vehicle-mounted screen (such as position, size, shape, etc.) needs to be considered. Based on the interior decoration information and the layout information of the vehicle-mounted screen, the system will intelligently match and generate appropriate screen-off display decoration information, thereby achieving a personalized and coordinated visual effect.

[0039] Among them, the interior decoration information includes but is not limited to the shape, texture, structure and color of the physical trim strips inside the car. The shape needs to focus on the lines and contours in the overall interior design; the texture needs to consider the coordination with other interior trim panels (referring to structural parts or covering parts used for car interior decoration); the structure needs to be combined with the matching relationship between the on-board screen and its surrounding parts (such as buttons); the color needs to consider the coordination with the overall interior style of the car and visual comfort. By considering these characteristics, engineering integration and visual effects can be better achieved. Engineering integration refers to the process of organically combining, debugging and verifying the independently designed and developed functional modules, subsystems or technical components in accordance with the overall architecture and performance goals during product development or system construction to ensure that they work together and meet the functional requirements of the entire vehicle or machine.

[0040] The interior decoration information can be derived from the vehicle's configuration data, such as factory configuration data, or it can be obtained by real-time acquisition of the current interior of the vehicle or specific parts (such as around or relative to the vehicle screen) through on-board cameras or user handheld devices. In actual use, considering that the user may have performed later coverage (such as seat covers) or even modifications to the original vehicle interior, after obtaining the collected interior decoration information, the vehicle operating system can perform image processing and optimization (which can be combined with AI (Artificial Intelligence, artificial intelligence) algorithms) to ensure that the design elements closest to the actual situation are obtained. In addition, it also supports user editing mode, which allows users to beautify the collected images, adjust the saturation, and other operations before performing feature extraction, thereby improving the aesthetics and coordination of the final screen-off display effect.

[0041] By replacing traditional decorative panel designs with the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the basic display function of the vehicle screen is retained while also presenting decorative patterns or textures when the vehicle screen is not in use, achieving a highly integrated decorative function. This approach effectively saves space in traditional designs for arranging decorative information and reduces the corresponding material and manufacturing costs.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, local interior decoration information located around or relative to the vehicle-mounted screen in the vehicle and target layout information of the vehicle-mounted screen can be obtained; based on the local interior decoration information and the target layout information, screen-off decoration information is generated and displayed as the target screen-off decoration information of the vehicle-mounted screen.

[0043] The local interior decoration information around the vehicle screen can be obtained by setting a spatial area centered on the vehicle screen, such as a rectangular or three-dimensional area extending a certain distance (e.g., 20 cm) in the vertical and horizontal directions, to obtain the decoration information of various interior components within this range. The interior decoration information relative to the vehicle screen is obtained based on the relative relationship between other interior components and the screen, such as the vertical, horizontal, and horizontal directions of the screen, and the screen extension direction (referring to the vehicle screen as a reference, extending outward along the surface normal direction (i.e., the direction of the screen facing outward)).

[0044] The system generates highly coordinated off-screen decorative information based on the visual and logical relationships between the vehicle's local interior decoration information and the target layout information of the onboard screen. This off-screen decorative information can take the form of static images, dynamic animations, gradient lighting effects, and other forms. The system aims to ensure that the onboard screen blends naturally into the overall vehicle interior design even when not in use, enhancing the overall sense of integration and premium quality. For example, a pattern is generated that mirrors the interior decoration information in the corresponding position and is adaptively adjusted based on the size and shape of the onboard screen.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2(a), when the passenger side car screen is in the screen-off state, the area pointed to by A is the black screen area, and the direction extending from it is the door area B. At this time, the system can select a texture pattern that matches the wooden trim on the door area B as the screen-off decoration information, so that the overall interior of the car is consistent in color and texture, eliminating the visual sense of disconnection that may be caused when the car screen is turned off. Furthermore, if there is partitioned display content in the door area B (such as two functional areas or visual areas B1 and B2), the system can generate a corresponding mirrored screen-off decoration pattern on the car screen. For example, A1 is the mirror effect of the B1 area, and A2 is the mirror effect of the B2 area, thereby forming a visual symmetry and echo relationship, enhancing the overall sense of coordination and layering of the space, as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0046] To ensure the seamless integration of the off-screen decorative information with the overall vehicle interior design, its geometry and placement needed to be carefully designed to integrate with the curves of the instrument panel and door panels. Furthermore, structurally, it needed to create a coherent, unified visual language with components such as the air vents in this area, achieving a perfect balance between functionality and decorative elements, enhancing the overall aesthetics and quality of the interior.

[0047] As another optional implementation, the system can obtain the vehicle's overall interior design information and the target layout information for the onboard screen. Based on this information, it generates and displays the target onboard screen design. Specifically, the system performs in-depth analysis based on the vehicle's overall interior design and the target layout information for the onboard screen, generating onboard design that is highly consistent with the vehicle's overall interior design. This onboard design can dynamically adapt to different scenarios and exhibits excellent visual scalability and artistic expression.

[0048] As shown in Figure 2(c), in another example where the passenger-side screen is in the off-screen mode, its display area is labeled Area C. Without the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, this area typically appears as a pure black or monotonous dark background, creating a sharp contrast with the surrounding interior, resulting in a visually disconnected and lacking design. Area D within the vehicle, on the other hand, displays a wood-grained decoration, conveying a strong sense of luxury and design. By applying the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the system can proactively render Area C with the same wood grain or other similar decorative effects as Area D after the screen enters the off-screen mode, significantly enhancing the overall harmony and premium feel of the interior. As shown in Figure 2(d), although Area D is also located around or relative to Area C, this embodiment considers not only Area D but also the overall interior decoration information within the vehicle. This approach not only achieves the desired interior decorative effect but also effectively avoids the space and cost increases associated with separate decorative arrangements in traditional solutions, demonstrating the deep integration of technology and design aesthetics.

[0049] As another optional embodiment, the system can match the most suitable screen-off decoration information from a preset screen-off decoration information set based on third target interior decoration information (the vehicle's overall interior decoration information or local interior decoration information around or relative to the vehicle screen) and the vehicle screen's layout information, thereby generating personalized target screen-off decoration information for each vehicle screen. The preset screen-off decoration information set includes screen-off decoration information corresponding to one or more types of vehicle interior decoration information and the vehicle screen's layout information.

[0050] For example, in one model, the passenger-side screen features a matte metal frame and dark brown leather upholstery. The screen itself is arranged horizontally, with navigation on the left and entertainment controls on the right. Based on this information, the system selects a pre-set screen-off design from a set of preset screen-off decorations. This design features a dark brown hue with a leather-textured background, and dimly illuminates the navigation and music icons on the left and right. This design not only aligns with the overall vehicle interior style but also provides functional reminders when the screen is off, enhancing the user experience.

[0051] Therefore, the recommended model in this proposal aims to enhance the decorative style and vehicle-level coordination of the screen's off state by considering the overall vehicle interior design and aesthetics. This model effectively integrates the screen's off-screen display into the overall interior styling (including CMF (Color-Material-Finishing) elements) and provides targeted adaptation and optimization for different vehicle models, achieving a more natural and unified integration of the screen's off-screen decorative information with the vehicle's physical interior trim in terms of shape, texture, color, and structural connection.

[0052] It should be noted that the above three implementations can be used individually or flexibly combined according to actual needs. When multiple implementations are used in combination, the system can generate multiple candidate screen-off decoration schemes based on different input information dimensions (such as vehicle decoration information and local decoration information), and integrate and optimize them through intelligent algorithms (such as deduplication), thereby outputting a richer, more personalized, and highly adaptable screen-off display effect.

[0053] In the second embodiment, when the target screen-off display mode selected by the user is a custom mode, the system can intelligently determine the screen-off decoration information that can be displayed on each screen-off screen based on the layout information of the vehicle-mounted screens and the actual usage scenarios of each screen-off screen. Among them, the vehicle-mounted screen layout information includes the position, size, shape, main functions, etc. of each screen, as well as the logical relationship of system-level linkage with each other. For example, the co-pilot car screen is usually used for entertainment, while the rear car screen is mainly used to display route information or provide entertainment content to passengers. The system-level linkage logic also involves the collaborative relationship between the screen and the vehicle's sensors, such as obtaining the status inside the vehicle through seat pressure sensors or other sensing devices.

[0054] The actual usage scenario refers to the specific application requirements of the vehicle screen under different environmental conditions. For example, when there are no passengers in the back row, the screen-off display mode of the vehicle screen in the corresponding area can be turned off to achieve energy saving; when the rear passengers are in a resting state, the screen-off decorative pattern suitable for the resting atmosphere can be displayed to enhance the riding experience. For the screen in the co-pilot area, the screen-off display mode is usually not turned off even if there are no passengers in this position, because the driver may view the relevant information and its readability and usability must be guaranteed. This operation is intended to comprehensively consider the entire vehicle screen layout information and the actual usage scenarios of the vehicle screen to generate reasonable screen-off decorative information.

[0055] In the above operations, to determine whether there are passengers, pressure parameters collected by the seat's pressure sensor can be used for detection; and to determine whether the passenger is in a resting state, a seat mode algorithm or a feature recognition algorithm can be used for analysis. The seat mode algorithm is an intelligent analysis algorithm that identifies the current seat usage status and passenger posture based on sensor data and personal behavior characteristics. It can identify whether the passenger is in a resting state, normal riding, children riding, or vacant seats, among other states. The feature recognition algorithm can obtain a surveillance image containing the seat and identify the passenger's biometric status in the surveillance image. When a passenger is identified as having their eyes closed and sleeping, it is determined that they are in a resting state, and the system will automatically adjust the display parameters of the corresponding on-board screen to reduce signal output power consumption.

[0056] After obtaining the screen-off decoration information that can be displayed on each car screen, the screen-off decoration information of these car screens can be arranged and combined. Assuming that the car screens are A, B, and C, where A has 3 optional screen-off decoration information, B has 2, and C has 5, then the first screen screen-off display matrix includes 30 combination schemes (3*2*5). Each combination scheme can generate a corresponding preview effect image, thus forming a preview effect image set containing 30 preview effect images. The user can then view these preview effect images through the car App (Application). If you are satisfied with a preview effect image, you can select the preview effect image and click the "Apply" option. The car operating system will automatically configure the target screen-off decoration information for each car screen according to the preview effect image selected by the user to complete the personalized settings.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment, after generating the first screen off-screen display matrix, the system can also intelligently screen the combination schemes in the matrix based on the linkage information between each vehicle screen (or each off-screen vehicle screen), thereby obtaining a second screen off-screen display matrix that conforms to the collaborative logic of the entire vehicle. This step further optimizes the consistency and coordination of the combination schemes from the perspective of the entire vehicle, and avoids the situation where the off-screen decoration information of some vehicle-mounted screens is inconsistent with the off-screen decoration information of the vehicle or other vehicle-mounted screens in style, function or scene. As mentioned above, although 30 combination schemes were generated, only 10 combination schemes may be screened out based on the linkage information. This method can greatly reduce the number of preview renderings that users need to browse, improve selection efficiency, and ensure that the selected schemes are more coordinated in style, function and usage scenarios.

[0058] Regardless of the screen-off display mode, after determining the target screen-off display decoration information for the car screen and before actually displaying it, the system will issue a confirmation prompt to the user. For example, the system will display the current display effect in the form of a preview effect on the car screen or in the car app for the user to review and confirm. Only after receiving the user's confirmation instruction will the corresponding screen-off decoration information be deployed to the visual interface of the corresponding car screen for formal display. This mechanism effectively guarantees the user's right to know and control the screen-off display settings, further improving the safety and intelligent experience of human-computer interaction.

[0059] As a supplement to the two aforementioned screen-off display mode embodiments, this solution also introduces an adaptive naked-eye visual effects mode. This mode connects signals from the vehicle's onboard sunlight sensor and the interior light sensor to obtain real-time brightness-related parameters inside and outside the vehicle cabin. Specifically, the onboard sunlight sensor collects a first parameter related to the exterior brightness, while the interior light sensor collects a second parameter related to the interior brightness.

[0060] Based on these brightness parameters and the layout information of each screen (such as its specific location and orientation in the vehicle, and the material and color of the surrounding physical interior), the system intelligently determines the optimal display brightness for each screen. This allows each screen to display the decorative information at a brightness that matches the environment under different lighting conditions, achieving a more natural and harmonious naked-eye visual experience. For example, in strong light environments, the display brightness is increased to ensure visibility, while in low light, the brightness is reduced to avoid visual abruptness, achieving an overall visual integration effect consistent with the CMF design style of the vehicle.

[0061] This solution further incorporates cabin atmosphere and emotional care modes, enabling the screen-off display to actively contribute to the emotional creation of the vehicle's interior environment. For example, the system can obtain real-time temperature data collected by the temperature sensor. If the current temperature is low, it automatically displays visual elements that convey warmth, such as flames and warm lighting effects. In hot environments, it can present visual elements such as icebergs, flowing water, and cool colors to create a cool feeling, thereby enhancing passenger comfort through visual guidance.

[0062] The system can also identify specific holidays based on date information and invoke preset holiday-themed screen-off decorations. For example, on Valentine's Day, it automatically displays heartwarming elements such as roses and hearts, while on Christmas, it displays festive symbols such as Christmas trees, snowflakes, and gift boxes, enhancing the festive atmosphere within the vehicle. Furthermore, the system can also take into account the vehicle's current driving state (such as parked, driving, or charging) to obtain preset screen-off decoration information for the corresponding state. For example, when parked, richer dynamic decorative patterns can be enabled, while while driving, the display switches to simple, non-distracting static or low-power content, thus achieving intelligent and emotional display control driven by contextual awareness.

[0063] In the recommended mode of this solution, when the system identifies multiple eligible screen-off decoration information based on multiple matching rules (such as preset screen-off device information sets, temperature conditions, dates, driving status, etc.), for example, there are 2 matches to the preset screen-off decoration information sets, 1 match to the temperature mode, 1 match to the date mode, and 2 matches to the driving status mode, the system will integrate all matching results for the user to choose. In order to improve the user selection experience, the system needs to generate corresponding preview effect images based on these matching results and display them in a visual manner on the car screen or car App for the user to browse and confirm. Finally, the car screen only displays the screen-off decoration information selected by the user.

[0064] In custom mode, this solution also supports users to upload or select screen-off decorative materials independently. For example, they can select the required materials from online material stores, local libraries, or smart terminal material libraries through the in-vehicle app, such as calendars, tree textures, artistic patterns, personalized icons, screen-off atmosphere lights, or music rhythms. The system can use the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention to present the selected materials in the corresponding in-vehicle screen area in a low-power manner, achieving coordination and unity with the interior style of the entire vehicle. As shown in Figure 2(e), the tree decorative elements are visually displayed in the screen area, echoing the overall atmosphere of the solid wood decorative strips on the dashboard, visually enhancing the luxury of the interior, and effectively weakening the sense of separation between the traditional black screen and the entire vehicle interior in terms of color and material.

[0065] Furthermore, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this invention can replace traditional decorative panels by simulating decorative strips with textures such as metal, wood, or leather, thereby enabling flexible customization of interior styles and enhancing the sense of luxury. This approach not only enriches the user's space for personalized expression but also reduces the overall vehicle layout space while lowering the manufacturing and assembly costs of traditional physical decorative strips, achieving a balanced aesthetic and engineering cost-effectiveness.

[0066] The method provided in the above embodiment introduces low-power off-screen decorative information, allowing the in-vehicle screen to coordinate with the vehicle interior style even when inactive, enhancing the aesthetics and atmosphere. Recommended and customized modes are provided to balance intelligent and personalized needs, achieving an energy-saving and coordinated in-vehicle display experience.

[0067] See also Figure 3 , which shows a main flow chart of a specific method for controlling the screen-off display of a vehicle-mounted screen provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0068] S301: In response to monitoring that a vehicle screen in the vehicle meets a preset screen-off display condition, displaying a screen-off display mode list, and the user selecting a target screen-off display mode from the screen-off display mode list;

[0069] S302: When the target screen-off display mode is the recommended mode, obtaining first target interior decoration information of the vehicle and target layout information of the vehicle screen;

[0070] S303: Generate screen-off decoration information according to the first target interior decoration information and the target layout information, to serve as target screen-off decoration information for the vehicle-mounted screen;

[0071] S304: When the target screen-off display mode is the recommended mode, obtaining second target interior decoration information located around or at a relative position to the vehicle-mounted screen in the vehicle and target layout information of the vehicle-mounted screen;

[0072] S305: Generate screen-off decoration information according to the second target interior decoration information and the target layout information, to serve as target screen-off decoration information for the vehicle-mounted screen;

[0073] S306: When the target off-screen display mode is the recommended mode, obtaining third target interior decoration information and target layout information of the in-vehicle screen; wherein the third target interior decoration information is target interior decoration information of the vehicle, or target interior decoration information of the vehicle located around or relative to the in-vehicle screen;

[0074] S307: Using the screen-off decoration information in the preset screen-off decoration information set that corresponds to the third target interior decoration information and the target layout information as the target screen-off decoration information for the vehicle screen;

[0075] S308: When the target screen-off display mode is the custom mode, determining screen-off decoration information of the vehicle screen according to the vehicle screen layout information and the actual usage scenario of the vehicle screen;

[0076] S309: Arrange and combine the screen-off decoration information of the vehicle-mounted screen to obtain a first screen-off display matrix;

[0077] S310: Filtering a second screen off display matrix from the first screen off display matrix based on the linkage information between the vehicle-mounted screens;

[0078] S311: Generate and display a set of preview effect images based on the second screen off display matrix;

[0079] S312: In response to a user selecting a target preview effect image in the preview effect image set, determining target off-screen decoration information for the vehicle screen based on the target preview effect image;

[0080] S313: Display the target screen-off decoration information on the vehicle screen.

[0081] The method provided by the embodiments of the present invention introduces the concept of off-screen decorative information, enabling the in-vehicle screen to present visual content consistent with the vehicle's interior CMF style, such as simulated wood grain, metallic textures, or holiday-themed patterns, even when inactive, in a low-power manner. This effectively reduces the sense of fragmentation and aesthetic fatigue caused by large black screens, enhancing the overall harmony and luxurious feel of the interior. Furthermore, context-aware control is implemented based on data collected by multiple sensors. It intelligently determines key factors such as the presence of passengers in the vehicle, whether passengers are resting, and ambient light intensity, dynamically adjusting the display of off-screen decorative information and display parameters. This avoids optical pollution and visual interference caused by excessive screen usage, while also improving screen utilization and preventing idle resources in specific operating conditions such as parking and resting. By combining recommendation and customization modes, the system automatically matches personalized decoration schemes and allows users to upload materials, balancing convenience with personalization. Inter-screen linkage strategies are used to screen combination schemes, ensuring the consistency of style and functionality across multiple in-vehicle screens, ultimately achieving a harmonious combination of energy-saving, aesthetically pleasing, intelligent, and emotionally engaging display.

[0082] See also Figure 4 , which shows a schematic diagram of the main modules of a vehicle-mounted screen off-screen display control device 400 provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0083] The monitoring module 401 is configured to display a list of screen-off display modes in response to monitoring that a vehicle screen in the vehicle meets a preset screen-off display condition;

[0084] The selection module 402 is configured to determine a target screen off display strategy preset for the target screen off display mode in response to a user selecting the target screen off display mode in the screen off display mode list;

[0121] In addition, the specific implementation content of the device in the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail in the above method, so the repeated content will not be described again here.

[0122] Figure 5An exemplary system architecture 500 to which an embodiment of the present invention can be applied is shown, including an in-vehicle operating system 501, an in-vehicle screen 502, an image acquisition device 503, a sensor system 504, an in-vehicle app 505, and a cloud platform 506. The in-vehicle operating system 501 is located in the vehicle and can interact with the in-vehicle app 505 and the cloud platform 506. The in-vehicle screen 502 is mainly located in the co-pilot and rear areas. The image acquisition device 503 (such as an in-vehicle camera or a user terminal device) is used to obtain interior decoration information of the vehicle, determine the decoration information of the screen in the auxiliary recommendation mode, and collect monitoring images of passengers on the seats. The in-vehicle operating system 501 is used to identify the biometric status of the passenger in the image. When it is identified that the passenger is in a dormant state with his eyes closed, it is determined that he is currently in a resting state.

[0123] The sensor system 504 includes various sensors, including temperature, pressure, brightness, vehicle speed, wheel speed, acceleration, gyroscope, and gear position. These sensors are installed in locations such as seats, inside and outside the vehicle cabin, the transmission, and the center of gravity of the vehicle body, collecting environmental and vehicle status data. For example, the temperature sensor is primarily installed inside the vehicle cabin to collect real-time temperature data. The vehicle operating system 501 can determine whether the vehicle is currently experiencing high or low temperatures based on the temperature range and match the corresponding screen-off decoration information. Pressure sensors are primarily installed on seats to collect pressure parameters, which the vehicle operating system 501 uses to determine the passenger status of the seat. Brightness sensors include an onboard sunlight sensor installed outside the vehicle cabin and an interior light sensor installed inside the vehicle cabin. Based on the parameters collected by these two sensors and the layout information of each onboard screen 502, the vehicle operating system 501 dynamically adjusts the display parameters of each onboard screen 502 to achieve a visually coordinated naked-eye effect.

[0124] Determining a vehicle's driving state typically relies on the coordinated operation of multiple sensors, including vehicle speed sensors, wheel speed sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and gear position sensors, installed in locations such as the transmission, wheels, mid-body, and steering column. These sensors collect key data such as speed, acceleration, deceleration, attitude, and gear position, which is then integrated and analyzed by the onboard operating system 501 to accurately determine whether the vehicle is parked, moving, reversing, on a slope, or in dynamic driving mode. This data provides data support for intelligent display, energy management, and human-computer interaction.

[0125] When the vehicle operating system 501 detects that one or more vehicle screens 502 have entered the screen-off state and the screen-off duration has reached a preset value, a list of screen-off display modes will be displayed in the vehicle app 505. If the user selects the recommended mode, the system automatically matches and displays the appropriate screen-off display mode based on the vehicle's overall interior decoration information or the local interior decoration information located around or relative to the vehicle screens (this interior decoration information can be locally cached, obtained from the cloud platform 506, or captured by the image acquisition device 503), as well as the layout information of each screen-off vehicle screen 502. If the user selects the customized mode, the screen-off decoration information for each vehicle screen 502 is determined based on the vehicle's screen layout information and the actual usage scenario of each vehicle screen 502. These screen-off decoration information is then arranged and combined to generate multiple combination schemes. The combination schemes are then filtered based on the linkage information between vehicle screens 502, and preview images are generated based on the filtered combination schemes. The user can view these preview images through the vehicle app 505 and select the one that suits their needs. In response to this operation, the vehicle operating system 501 will determine the screen-off decoration information of each vehicle screen 502 based on the preview effect image selected by the user.

[0126] Regardless of the mode, the system can combine the pressure parameters collected by the seat pressure sensor to determine whether the seat corresponding to the screen-off vehicle screen 502 is occupied. If no passenger is occupied and the seat is in the rear row, the screen-off display mode of the vehicle screen 502 is disabled to save energy. If a passenger is occupied, the screen-off decoration information displayed on the vehicle screen 502 can be determined according to the above operation. In the custom mode, it can also determine whether the passenger is resting, and then determine the screen-off decoration information of the vehicle screen 502 based on the screen layout information and the resting state, thereby improving comfort and scene adaptability.

[0127] The entire solution is centrally managed by the vehicle operating system 501, which includes at least one processor that executes program instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium to implement intelligent management of the screen-off display control. The processor can be any conventional processor, such as a commercially available central processing unit (CPU). Alternatively, the processor can be a dedicated device such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or other hardware-based processor. Those skilled in the art will understand that the processor, computer, or memory may actually include multiple processors, computers, or memories that may or may not be stored in the same physical housing. For example, the memory can be a hard drive or other storage medium located in a housing different from the computer. Therefore, references to a processor or computer will be understood to include references to a collection of processors, computers, or memories that may or may not operate in parallel. Rather than using a single processor to perform the steps described herein, some components, such as the steering assembly and the deceleration assembly, can each have their own processor that only performs determinations related to the functions specific to the component.
