DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The terms "first", "second" and "third" in this application specification and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish different objects rather than to limit a specific order.

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0023] To make the description of the following embodiments clear and concise, a brief introduction to the related technologies is first given: With the continuous development of automobile safety technology and the increasing attention paid to the safety of child passengers, child seats are accepted by more and more consumers.

[0024] Most of the current child seats require independent power supplies and independent controllers, and are not fully compatible with the entire vehicle. That is, they cannot be linked with the vehicle's control system, and ultimately cannot achieve intelligent control of the child seat.

[0025] In order to make the technical solution of this application clearer and easier to understand, the application scenarios of the technical solution of this application are introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this figure is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] In this application scenario, both the child seat and the rear seat of the vehicle are connected to the vehicle's control system through the on-board controller connector; wherein, the child seat is connected to the first interface of the on-board controller through the second connector configured on the child seat to access the control system, and the rear seat of the vehicle is connected to the first interface of the on-board controller through the first connector configured on the rear seat of the vehicle to access the vehicle's control system.

[0027] Optionally, the on-board controller includes a zone controller and a lumbar support massage controller; the zone controller includes functions such as seat adjustment, seat heating and signal reception, such as the zone controller receives vehicle collision detection signals, cockpit controller instructions and terminal instructions; for example, seat heating, seat ventilation, seat massage, child seat prohibition switch, seat belt release and other instructions from the cockpit controller or from the terminal; the lumbar support massage controller includes functions such as seat lumbar support massage; the on-board controller connector can receive seat fore-and-aft adjustment switch instructions, backrest tilt adjustment switch instructions, seat lumbar support massage adjustment switch instructions, seat departure signal, seat seat belt signal, seat fore-and-aft / rotation adjustment motor plus, seat fore-and-aft / rotation adjustment motor minus, seat backrest tilt adjustment motor plus, seat belt pretensioning motor minus, seat belt pretensioning motor plus, seat backrest tilt adjustment motor minus, seat ventilation motor instructions, seat heating control instructions, seat lumbar support drive instructions and seat massage drive instructions, etc. The zone controller provides commands for the seat fore / aft adjustment switch, backrest tilt adjustment switch, lumbar support and massage adjustment switch, seat release signal, seat belt signal, seat fore / aft adjustment motor plus, seat fore / aft adjustment motor minus, seat backrest tilt adjustment motor plus, seat belt pretensioner motor minus, seat backrest tilt adjustment motor plus, seat ventilation motor minus, and seat heating control. Lumbar support drive and massage drive commands come from the lumbar massage controller. However, the zone controller and the lumbar massage controller bracket also communicate seat massage commands, lumbar support control commands, seat massage status, and lumbar support status. The zone controller receives collision signals from the vehicle collision module, central control soft switch commands, seat status display, and seat belt release alarm from the cockpit controller, and remote command reception, seat status feedback, and seat belt release alarm from the vehicle communication terminal. The vehicle communication terminal can communicate with mobile devices. It should be noted that these commands or signals are transmitted via the vehicle network (e.g., CAN bus).

[0028] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control instructions are executed through the functional components of the vehicle's rear seats or child seats.

[0029] In order to make the technical solution of this application clearer and easier to understand, the following describes a child seat control system provided by an embodiment of this application in combination with the above application scenarios. Figure 3 As shown, the child seat control system provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle-mounted controller connector, and the vehicle-mounted controller connector includes a first interface and a second interface; Among them, the vehicle-mounted controller connector is used to connect to the first plug interface of the rear seat of the vehicle through the first interface or to connect to the second plug interface of the child seat through the first interface; the vehicle-mounted controller connector is also used to connect to the vehicle-mounted controller through the second interface; the vehicle-mounted controller connector is also used to receive control instructions transmitted by the vehicle-mounted controller through the second interface, and transmit control instructions to the rear seat of the vehicle or the child seat through the first interface.

[0030] Optionally, when the vehicle-mounted controller connector is connected to the second plug-in interface of the child seat via the first interface, the vehicle-mounted controller connector receives a first control instruction transmitted by the vehicle-mounted controller via the second interface, and transmits the first control instruction to the child seat via the first interface; the first control instruction is an instruction for controlling the child seat. And, When the vehicle-mounted controller connector is connected to the first plug interface of the vehicle's rear seat through the first interface, it receives the second control instruction transmitted by the vehicle-mounted controller through the second interface and transmits the second control instruction to the vehicle's rear seat through the first interface; the second control instruction is an instruction for controlling the vehicle's rear seat.

[0031] Among them, the transmission protocols used by the first plug interface and the second plug interface are consistent; furthermore, the hardware design can be simplified, that is, the vehicle-mounted controller connector does not need to distinguish "connecting to a child seat or a rear seat", and the same interface can be used universally, reducing production costs; improving compatibility, even if a different child seat is replaced (as long as the second plug interface protocol matches), the vehicle-mounted controller connector can still transmit instructions normally, avoiding the problem of "protocol incompatibility leading to uncontrollable"; accelerating communication efficiency, that is, protocol consistency means the same data frame format and transmission rate, lower delay from instruction reception to forwarding, and more timely operation response, ultimately achieving flexible control of child seats and rear seats of the vehicle, which not only ensures functional scalability (such as more devices with the same protocol can be connected in the future), but also reduces the complexity of user operations; the first control instruction includes at least one of the following: child seat adjustment instruction, child seat heating instruction, child seat ventilation instruction, child seat lumbar support massage instruction, child seat seat belt pre-tightening instruction and child seat child lock instruction.

[0032] It should be noted that the child seat control system can be used to coordinate the transmission of commands and status interactions between the vehicle, the on-board controller and the child seat. The core is to realize "issuance of control commands" and "device linkage" through the on-board controller connector to ensure that the operation of the child seat and / or the rear seat of the vehicle is controllable; the on-board controller connector is a connecting component, a physical device with two interfaces (such as a plug or adapter), which functions to "transfer data" - one end is connected to the on-board controller, and the other end is selectively connected to the child seat or the rear seat of the vehicle to realize the reception and forwarding of commands; the first interface is an interface on the on-board controller connector (such as the plug end) for connecting to external devices , which can be selectively connected to the "first plug interface of the vehicle's rear seat" or the "second plug interface of the child seat", is the channel for outputting commands to external devices; the second interface is another interface on the vehicle-mounted controller connector (such as the socket end), which is only used to connect to the vehicle-mounted controller and is the channel for receiving commands issued by the vehicle-mounted controller (that is, the "command input port"); the first connector is an interface (such as a socket) reserved on the vehicle's rear seat, which is used to connect to the first interface of the vehicle-mounted controller connector to receive control commands for the rear seat (such as adjusting the angle, heating, etc.); the second connector is an interface (such as a socket) on the child seat, which is used to connect to the first interface of the vehicle-mounted controller connector to receive control commands for the child seat. Control instructions for child seats (such as adjusting the angle, locking the seat belt, etc.); the on-board controller connector is the physical connection component (such as a dedicated interface, wiring harness plug) between the on-board controller and the child seat (or the rear seat of the vehicle), and supports data communication (transmitting instructions and status information). Common communication protocols include CAN bus and LIN bus, etc.; the on-board controller is the intelligent control unit inside the vehicle, which is responsible for receiving user operation instructions, communicating with other parts of the vehicle (such as child seats), processing data and executing feedback (such as presenting prompts), which is equivalent to an "intermediate processor"; the child seat is a safety seat installed on the vehicle, designed specifically for children, with built-in sensors (such as pressure sensors, Seat belt buckle sensor) and actuators (such as angle adjustment motors) can receive instructions and feedback status; control instructions are the general term for operation signals sent by the on-board controller, which are used to control external devices (child seats or rear seats). They are divided into first control instructions and second control instructions according to the control objects; the first control instructions are instructions for the child seat, such as "adjust the child seat angle to 15°", "lock the child seat belt", etc., which need to be adapted to the hardware functions of the child seat; the second control instructions are instructions for the rear seat of the vehicle, such as "fold the rear seat backrest to 40°", "turn on the rear seat heating", etc., which need to be adapted to the functions of the rear seat of the vehicle.

[0033] For example, a user or installer plugs the first interface of the vehicle-mounted controller connector into the second interface of the child seat (physical connection is completed). At this time, because the transmission protocols of the first and second interfaces are consistent (e.g., both use the LIN bus protocol), the vehicle-mounted controller connector and the child seat can directly establish a communication link without the need for additional adaptation. Furthermore, when the user needs to control the child seat (e.g., adjust the angle), the vehicle-mounted controller generates a first control instruction (e.g., "angle adjustment to 20°" in the form of an electrical signal or data frame) and sends the instruction to the second interface of the vehicle-mounted controller connector via a line. The internal circuit of the vehicle-mounted controller connector parses the instruction and confirms that "the target device is a child seat and the instruction type is angle adjustment." The vehicle-mounted controller connector then transmits the parsed first control instruction to the second interface of the child seat via the first interface. After receiving the instruction, the controller inside the child seat drives the actuator (e.g., the angle adjustment motor) to complete the angle adjustment. At the same time, the child seat can also feedback the execution result (e.g., "adjusted to 20°") via the same link.

[0034] The process of controlling the rear seat of the vehicle is the same as the process of controlling the child seat. The user plugs the first interface of the vehicle controller connector into the first plug interface of the rear seat of the vehicle (physical connection is completed). Because the transmission protocol is consistent (same scenario), the vehicle controller connector and the rear seat of the vehicle directly establish communication without the need for protocol conversion; further, when the user needs to control the rear seat of the vehicle (such as turning on heating), the vehicle controller generates a second control instruction (for example, "turn on rear seat heating, temperature 30°C") and sends it to the second interface of the vehicle controller connector through the line. The vehicle controller connector parses the instruction and confirms that "the target device is the rear seat of the vehicle, and the instruction type is heating control"; then, the vehicle controller connector transmits the second control instruction to the first plug interface of the rear seat through the first interface. After receiving the instruction, the control unit of the rear seat starts the heating module (such as heating the resistor wire) and performs the heating operation.

[0035] For example, a control instruction can be sent to the vehicle based on the vehicle's cabin controller or a mobile terminal bound to the vehicle; then, the on-board controller in the vehicle receives the control instruction and checks the status of the component corresponding to the control instruction based on the control instruction. For example, if the control instruction is to heat the seat of the child seat, the current seat temperature of the child seat is checked first. If it is detected that the current temperature of the child seat exceeds the preset seat temperature (i.e., the seat temperature to be set in the control instruction), the temperature of the child seat is not adjusted first, and the current seat temperature of the child seat is fed back to the terminal associated with the vehicle to make a reminder, ensure the comfort of the child, and prevent misoperation, etc.; if it is not detected that the current temperature of the child seat exceeds the preset seat temperature, the temperature of the child seat is increased; wherein, the increase range can be pre-set, such as increasing by 1 degree each time, etc.

[0036] Optionally, each seat in the vehicle is equipped with an on-board controller connector to enable individual control and adjustment of each seat.

[0037] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted controller is also used to receive a first selection operation triggered by the user for the child seat mode, present a candidate first control instruction, and when the user triggers a second selection operation for the candidate first control instruction, transmit the first control instruction selected by the second selection operation to the child seat through the vehicle-mounted controller connector.

[0038] In addition, the vehicle-mounted controller is further used to receive seat status information fed back by the child seat through the vehicle-mounted controller connector, and present a prompt message when the seat status information indicates that the seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened.

[0039] Among them, the child seat mode is a preset function mode specifically for child seats in the system. After activation, it can call control instructions related to the child seat (such as adjustment, locking, etc.) to simplify user operations; the first selection operation is the user triggering the "child seat mode" action, for example, clicking the "child seat" icon through the vehicle screen (or a mobile terminal associated with the vehicle), voice command "turn on child seat mode", and physical button pressing; the candidate first control instruction is the operation options that can be performed on the child seat displayed by the vehicle controller after entering the child seat mode, such as "adjust seat angle", "turn on seat ventilation", "lock seat belt", "start safety monitoring" and so on. " and other options; the second selection operation is the action of the user selecting a specific operation from the candidate instructions, for example, clicking the "adjust seat angle" option on the screen, voice selection "turn on ventilation", etc.; the seat status information is the real-time data collected by the child seat through sensors, including "whether there is a child sitting" (pressure sensor detection), "whether the seat belt is fastened" (lock sensor detection), "whether the seat angle is appropriate", etc.; the prompt information is the warning content issued by the on-board controller when the seat status is abnormal (such as "someone is sitting but the seat belt is not fastened"), which can be in the form of screen text ("Please fasten the child seat belt"), sound alarm (beep sound) and flashing light (instrument panel warning light), etc.

[0040] For example, the control logic for child seats and rear seats is the same. For example, users can activate "child seat mode" via the screen, voice, or buttons. For example, while driving, a parent can click the "child seat" icon in the main menu on the vehicle screen. The vehicle controller receives this action and confirms that the user wishes to control the child seat. Furthermore, after activating "child seat mode," the vehicle controller, based on pre-set logic, displays candidate first control instructions on the screen. These first control instructions must match the hardware functions of the child seat. The user can then select a specific instruction on the screen, such as clicking "adjust seat angle to 20°." The vehicle controller then records the user's selection and converts the instruction into a signal (such as an electrical signal or data frame) recognizable by the child seat. The vehicle controller then transmits the instruction to the child seat via the vehicle controller connector. This transmission relies on a communication protocol (such as the CAN bus) to ensure data accuracy. Upon receiving the instruction, the child seat's built-in controller interprets the instruction and drives an actuator (such as the angle adjustment motor) to complete the operation.

[0041] Furthermore, the child seat can monitor its status in real time through built-in sensors and transmit the data back to the on-board controller through the on-board controller connector. For example, the pressure sensor detects whether there is pressure on the seat surface (to determine "whether there is someone"), the seat belt buckle sensor detects whether the buckle is fully fastened (to determine "whether the seat belt is fastened"), the angle sensor feeds back the current seat angle (to confirm whether the adjustment is in place), etc.; after the on-board controller receives the status information, it performs logical judgment: if "the seat is occupied and the seat belt is fastened": no prompt is required, or only "child seat status is normal" is displayed on the screen; if "the seat is occupied but the seat belt is not fastened": a prompt message is triggered immediately, for example: red text "Child is not fastened, please check" pops up on the screen, accompanied by a beep sound once per second, which continues until the seat belt is fastened; if "the seat is empty": it may prompt "child seat vacant" (optional function to avoid misoperation), etc.

[0042] It should be noted that "child seat mode" also includes features such as a child headrest audio function, wireless transmission upgrades, and scene programming. The optional child headrest audio function integrates a small audio unit into the child seat's headrest, which plays audio content (such as nursery rhymes, stories, and educational audio) through the vehicle's system or wireless connection. This provides a customized audio experience for children, avoids the pressure of wearing headphones, and reduces interference to other passengers in the car (such as when parents are listening to navigation or other passengers are resting). The wireless transmission upgrade function allows the child seat to receive upgrade packages from the vehicle controller or the cloud via wireless communication technologies (such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) to update its firmware (software program). This fixes vulnerabilities, optimizes performance, or adds new features without removing the seat or connecting to a wired connection, extending the child seat's "lifecycle." The scene programming function allows users to preset or customize a series of linked commands. When triggered, the child seat and associated vehicle components (such as audio, air conditioning, and lighting) automatically execute combined operations. This "one-touch" trigger simplifies multi-step operations and adapts to frequent scenarios for children in the car (such as boarding, taking a nap, and getting out of the car), improving convenience and safety.

[0043] Optionally, the rear seats of the vehicle are equipped with a first electrical interface, which is connected to the functional components of the rear seats of the vehicle through an internal wiring harness. It is the aggregation and external connection port of the rear seat signals; among them, the functional components of the rear seats of the vehicle include control types (first seat horizontal fore-and-aft adjustment switch, first backrest fore-and-aft adjustment switch, first lumbar support massage switch, first seat heating switch, first seat ventilation switch, etc.), drive types (first horizontal motor: corresponding to "first horizontal motor plus / minus", control forward and reverse rotation, first backrest motor: corresponding to "first backrest motor plus / minus"), first lumbar support massage air pump motor, first seat ventilation motor, etc.), sensor types (first horizontal motor Hall sensor, first Hall sensor negative, first backrest Hall sensor - detect motor rotation angle, feedback adjustment position, first seat gravity sensor - detect whether there is someone riding, first seat seat belt detection - detect seat belt status, first seat cushion temperature sensor, first backrest temperature sensor - detect heating temperature, etc.); the first electrical interface serves as the hub for signal aggregation and distribution, and centrally processes the control signals, drive signals, and sensor signals of the components.

[0044] The on-board controller connector is physically connected to the first electrical interface through its own first interface to achieve two-way signal transmission: on the one hand, the on-board controller connector transmits the second control command (such as adjustment, heating, etc.) issued by the on-board controller to the corresponding rear seat component of the vehicle through the first electrical interface; on the other hand, the on-board controller connector receives the status signal of the rear seat component (such as gravity sensing, temperature detection, etc.) through the first electrical interface and transmits it back to the on-board controller for processing; the two use unified pin definitions and electrical protocols to ensure accurate interaction of commands and status information.

[0045] In addition, the child seat is equipped with a second electrical interface, which is connected to the functional components of the child seat through an internal wiring harness. It is the aggregation and external connection port of the child seat signals; its connection and control process is the same as that of the rear seat of the vehicle and will not be repeated here.

[0046] Optional, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the logic of each function can be expressed as: Seat adjustment function: The regional controller detects the seat adjustment switch signal to drive the front and rear and backrest motors of the vehicle's rear seats, or the front and rear and backrest motors of the child seats; Seat heating function: The zone controller detects the seat heating switch signal, or receives the control signal from the cockpit domain controller (CDC) or the mobile phone-TBOX, and drives the vehicle's rear seat or child seat heating; Seat ventilation function: The regional controller detects the seat heating switch signal, or receives the control signal from the CDC or mobile terminal, and drives the vehicle's rear seats or child seats to heat; Seat lumbar support massage function: The regional controller detects the seat heating switch signal, or receives the control signal from the CDC or mobile terminal, and drives the lumbar massage motor of the vehicle's rear seat or child seat; Departure and seat belt status display function: The regional controller detects the status of the seat out-of-position sensor and seat belt sensor, and transmits the out-of-position and seat belt signals to the CDC or mobile terminal for display; When the child seat or rear seat vacancy signal indicates that someone is present but the seat belt is not fastened, the regional controller issues an alarm message and displays the alarm through the CDC or mobile terminal; Seat belt pre-tensioning function: When a collision occurs, the collision module transmits a collision signal to the zone controller, which drives the seat belt pre-tensioning motor to protect the safety of the passengers. One-touch prohibition of child seat switch function: A one-touch disable signal can be transmitted to the regional controller via the CDC or mobile terminal. After receiving the disable command, the regional controller will not process the local switch request of the child seat, thus preventing the danger caused by young children touching the switch. Children's headrest audio function: The child seat headrest speakers are connected to the vehicle's audio and video system, and can play the second-row screen images and sounds, or children's songs, without affecting the driver and co-driver's audio and video entertainment; Over-the-Air (OTA) upgrades: Both the vehicle's zone controller and CDC can complete software updates via OTA, continuously optimizing seat control logic. Intelligent scene arrangement: The smart child seat is integrated into the vehicle control system. The central control screen can be set to child comfort mode, automatically start heating and ventilation according to the temperature in the car, play children's songs, reduce other sounds in the whole vehicle to protect children's hearing, automatically start heating and ventilation according to the temperature in the car, stop all sounds except the headrest speaker of the driver's seat, close the windows to reduce external influences, etc.

[0047] It should be noted that the child seat is connected to the vehicle control network through the first connector and connected to the vehicle controller connector. It can be controlled and adjusted in a variety of ways through the vehicle's large screen, mobile terminals, and local switches, such as ventilation and heating. The seat information can be displayed on the vehicle's central control screen and mobile terminal. Children's misunderstanding of seat belt alarms, collision warnings and other functions enhance the intelligence of the child seat. The electrical control of the child seat is completed by borrowing the vehicle controller, which reduces the cost of the child seat, reduces the space for arranging the controller in the child seat, and reduces the assembly of the child seat.

[0048] The above-mentioned child seat control system transmits control commands directly to the vehicle's rear seat or child seat via the vehicle controller connector, thereby controlling the vehicle's rear seat or child seat, by connecting the vehicle controller's second interface to the vehicle controller and the vehicle controller's first interface to the vehicle's rear seat's first interface, or connecting the vehicle controller's first interface to the child seat's second interface. This solution, by introducing the vehicle controller connector, facilitates child seat control and ultimately achieves intelligent management of child seats.

[0049] Combined with the above Figure 1 and Figure 2 The child seat provided in the embodiment of the present application has been introduced in detail. The child seat and vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application will be introduced below.

[0050] An embodiment of the present application provides a child seat, comprising: a second plug interface; The second plug interface is used to connect to the first interface of the vehicle controller connector; or the first interface of the vehicle controller connector is connected to the first plug interface of the rear seat of the vehicle; wherein the vehicle controller connector includes the first interface and the second interface; The vehicle controller connector is used to connect to the vehicle controller through the second interface, receive control instructions transmitted by the vehicle controller through the second interface, and transmit control instructions to the rear seat or child seat of the vehicle through the first interface.

[0051] In one embodiment, the vehicle-mounted controller connector is specifically used to receive a first control instruction transmitted by the vehicle-mounted controller through the second interface when connected to the second plug interface of the child seat through the first interface, and transmit the first control instruction to the child seat through the first interface; the first control instruction is an instruction for controlling the child seat.

[0052] An embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned child seat control system or child seat.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application further provides a computing device, which can be a local computing device or an application server.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, this figure is a schematic diagram of a computing device provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the computing device 700 includes a bus 701, a processor 702, a communication interface 703 and a memory 704. The processor 702, the memory 704 and the communication interface 703 communicate with each other via the bus 701.

[0055] The bus 701 may be a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus or an extended industry standard architecture (EISA) bus. The bus may be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 4 Only one thick line is used in the diagram, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.
