As a key device for improving in-car comfort, in-car air conditioning consists of a compressor, condenser, throttling element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is primarily used to regulate the temperature and humidity in the vehicle, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers.

[0069] S101, obtaining cockpit position information, body surface temperature distribution information, and human body image information of the target occupant;

[0070] S102, determining the physical characteristics and sitting posture information of the target occupant based on the human body image information;

[0073] Specifically, users with different physical characteristics have different air outlet requirements for air conditioning vents, and users with different body surface temperature distributions or different sitting postures also have different air outlet requirements for air conditioning vents. The embodiment of the present invention uses a neural network model to fit the user's body surface temperature distribution, body shape characteristics and sitting posture with their actual air outlet requirements, and then predicts the optimal air outlet control parameters of the air conditioning outlet at the corresponding position based on the occupant's body surface temperature distribution, body shape characteristics and sitting posture, so that the air conditioning outlet can be automatically controlled and adjusted without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby improving the accuracy of the vehicle air conditioning adjustment and the user's riding experience.

[0075] S1011. Acquire infrared image information of the target cockpit through an infrared camera disposed in the target cockpit;

[0076] S1012. Determine cabin position information and body surface temperature distribution information of several target occupants based on the infrared image information;

[0077] S1013: Activate a visible light camera at a corresponding position according to the cockpit position information, and obtain human body image information of the target occupant through the visible light camera.

[0078] As a further optional implementation, determining the target occupant's physical features and sitting posture information based on the human body image information specifically includes:

[0079] S1021. Performing face detection on the human body image information to obtain facial image information, and identifying the gender and age information of the target occupant based on the facial image information;

[0080] S1022: Detecting key points of the human body image to obtain key point information of the human body, and determining the body shape and sitting posture information of the target occupant based on the key point information of the human body;

[0081] S1023. Determine physical feature information based on gender information, age information, and body shape information.

[0082] Specifically, this embodiment of the present invention uses an infrared camera installed in the vehicle to capture the occupant's cabin position and body surface temperature distribution in real time. Simultaneously, based on the cabin position, a visible light camera is activated at a corresponding location to capture the occupant's body image. Using image processing, face detection, and body key point detection, the system identifies the occupant's physical characteristics (gender, age, body type, etc.) and sitting posture. Furthermore, this embodiment of the present invention monitors changes in the occupant's body surface temperature distribution and sitting posture in real time.

[0083] As an optional implementation, the air output control parameter prediction model is trained by the following steps:

[0084] S201, obtaining a body surface temperature distribution sample, a body feature sample, and a sitting posture sample of a test person in a test vehicle;

[0085] S202, adjusting the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume, and air outlet temperature of the air outlet corresponding to the test person, and recording the test person's subjective feelings to obtain the optimal air outlet control parameters that make the test person most comfortable;

[0086] S203: Using the body surface temperature distribution sample, the body feature sample, and the sitting posture sample as the first training sample, and determining the corresponding air outlet control parameter label according to the optimal air outlet control parameter;

[0087] S204: Input the first training sample into a pre-built convolutional neural network to obtain a predicted value of an air outlet control parameter;

[0088] S205: Determine a first loss value based on the predicted value of the air outlet control parameter and the air outlet control parameter label;

[0089] S206: Update the parameters of the convolutional neural network according to the first loss value to obtain a trained air outlet control parameter prediction model.

[0090] Specifically, first, the surface temperature distribution samples, physical feature samples and sitting posture samples of the test person in the test vehicle are obtained; then, the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume and air outlet temperature of the air outlet corresponding to the test person are adjusted, and the subjective feelings of the test person are recorded to obtain the optimal air outlet control parameters that make the test person most comfortable; the surface temperature distribution samples, physical feature samples and sitting posture samples are used as the first training samples, and the corresponding air outlet control parameter labels are determined according to the optimal air outlet control parameters to obtain a set of training data; multiple tests are carried out under different test persons, different surface temperature distribution samples and different sitting posture samples, and a first training data set can be constructed after obtaining a sufficient amount of training data; the first training data set is input into a pre-constructed convolutional neural network for training to obtain a trained air outlet control parameter prediction model.

[0091] The system of the embodiment of the present invention can predict the target air outlet control parameters of the corresponding air-conditioning outlet according to the occupant's physical characteristics, sitting posture information and real-time monitored body surface temperature distribution by training the air outlet control parameter prediction model, including the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air volume and air outlet temperature, to ensure that the air outlet direction and air volume can accurately meet the occupant's comfort needs; then, the target air outlet at the corresponding position is started according to the determined cabin position information, and the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air volume and air outlet temperature of the target air outlet is controlled according to the target air outlet control parameters, so that the air-conditioning outlet at the corresponding position can be controlled and adjusted as soon as the user gets on the vehicle.

[0092] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention can be used in a vehicle use scenario with a single passenger, and can also be used in a vehicle use scenario with multiple passengers. When the number of passengers is not less than 2, the optimal air outlet control parameters are predicted for each passenger, and then the air-conditioning outlets at the corresponding positions of each passenger are controlled and adjusted accordingly.

[0093] Reference Figure 2 As an optional embodiment, the vehicle air conditioning adjustment method further includes the following steps:

[0094] S105, obtaining the target occupant's body surface temperature distribution time series data and sitting posture time series data during the current period;

[0095] S106, inputting the body surface temperature distribution time series data and the sitting posture time series data into a pre-trained air flow adjustment parameter prediction model to obtain a target air flow adjustment parameter;

[0096] S107 , adjusting the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume, and air outlet temperature of the target air outlet according to the target air outlet adjustment parameters.

[0097] Specifically, during the ride, infrared images and body images of the passengers are continuously collected, and the occupants' body surface temperature distribution time series data and sitting posture time series data are determined through continuous multiple frames of infrared images and body images, and then input into a pre-trained air outlet adjustment parameter prediction model to predict the amplitude of dynamic adjustment of the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume and air outlet temperature. Based on the original predicted optimal air outlet control parameters, the parameters of the air-conditioning outlet are further adjusted dynamically in real time to ensure the comfort of the passengers.

[0098] In some optional embodiments, the air outlet temperature and air volume can be adjusted in a timely manner according to factors such as the operating time of the vehicle's air-conditioning system, the current time point, and the vehicle's driving status to ensure that passengers can enjoy the best comfort experience throughout the journey.

[0099] In some optional embodiments, the occupants' personalized air-conditioning preferences can also be recorded, and personalized learning can be performed based on the occupants' historical data to generate thermal comfort adjustment strategies for specific occupants. When the same occupant is identified again, the system will optimize the air-conditioning operation control parameters in combination with the personalized thermal comfort adjustment strategy to provide a more accurate and personalized comfort experience.

[0100] As an optional implementation, the air flow adjustment parameter prediction model is trained by the following steps:

[0101] S301, adjusting the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume, and air outlet temperature of the air outlet corresponding to the test person in the test vehicle, and recording the test person's subjective feelings to obtain initial air outlet control parameters that are most comfortable for the test person;

[0102] S302, obtaining a time series sample of the test person's body surface temperature distribution and a time series sample of the sitting posture within a preset time period;

[0103] S303, after a preset period of time, adjusting the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air outlet volume, and air outlet temperature of the air outlet corresponding to the test person, and recording the test person's subjective feelings to obtain the current air outlet control parameters that are most comfortable for the test person;

[0104] S304: determining an optimal air outlet adjustment parameter based on a parameter change between the current air outlet control parameter and the initial air outlet control parameter;

[0106] S306: Input the second training sample into a pre-built CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network to obtain a predicted value of the air outlet adjustment parameter;

[0107] S307: Determine a second loss value according to the air outlet adjustment parameter prediction value and the air outlet adjustment parameter label;

[0108] S308. Update the parameters of the CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network according to the second loss value to obtain a trained air outlet adjustment parameter prediction model.

[0109] Specifically, first, the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air volume and air outlet temperature of the air outlet at the corresponding position of the test person in the test vehicle are adjusted, and the test person's subjective feelings are recorded to obtain the initial air outlet control parameters that make the test person most comfortable; then, the air-conditioning air outlet operation state is kept unchanged within a preset period of time, and the surface temperature distribution time series sample and sitting posture time series sample of the test person within the preset period of time are obtained; and then, after the preset period of time, the air outlet pitch angle, air outlet diffusion angle, air volume and air outlet temperature of the air outlet at the corresponding position of the test person are adjusted, and the test person's subjective feelings are recorded to obtain the current air outlet control parameters that make the test person most comfortable ; Use the surface temperature distribution time series samples and the sitting posture time series samples as the second training samples, determine the optimal air outlet adjustment parameters according to the parameter changes of the current air outlet control parameters and the initial air outlet control parameters, and use the optimal air outlet adjustment parameters as the corresponding air outlet adjustment parameter labels to obtain a set of training data; conduct multiple tests under different test personnel, different surface temperature distribution time series samples, and different sitting posture time series samples, and construct a second training data set after obtaining a sufficient amount of training data; input the second training data set into the pre-constructed CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network for training to obtain a trained air outlet adjustment parameter prediction model.

[0110] As an optional implementation, the CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network includes an input layer, a CNN convolution layer, a feature fusion layer, an LSTM layer, an attention layer, and an output layer. The second training sample is input into the pre-built CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network to obtain a predicted value of the air outlet adjustment parameter, which specifically includes:

[0115] S3065. Dynamically assign weights to each dimension of the hidden state sequence based on the multi-head self-attention mechanism through the attention layer;

[0116] S3066. Map the hidden state sequence after dynamic weight allocation to the predicted value of the air flow adjustment parameter through the output layer.

[0117] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention sets up two CNN convolution layers to extract local time series features of the body surface temperature distribution time series samples and the sitting posture time series samples respectively. The obtained body surface temperature distribution time series features and sitting posture time series features will enter the feature fusion layer for feature fusion, and the final fused time series features will be input into the LSTM layer for subsequent recognition; after the fused time series features are input into the LSTM layer, the corresponding hidden state sequence is generated, and the various dimensions of the hidden state sequence are dynamically weighted based on the multi-head self-attention mechanism, and then mapped to the wind adjustment parameter prediction value; the loss value is determined according to the difference between the driver's seat posture deviation recognition result and the sample label, and the selection of the loss function is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention; the parameters of the CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network are updated according to the loss value through the back propagation algorithm, and then the next round of iterative training is entered. When the preset convergence condition is reached (the number of iterations reaches the threshold and the loss value is lower than the preset threshold), the training is stopped to obtain a trained wind adjustment parameter prediction model.

[0118] The above describes the method steps of the embodiment of the present invention. It is understandable that the embodiment of the present invention predicts the optimal air outlet control parameters of the air-conditioning outlet at the corresponding position based on the occupant's body surface temperature distribution, physical characteristics and sitting posture, so that the air-conditioning outlet can be automatically controlled and adjusted without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby improving the accuracy of the vehicle air-conditioning adjustment and the user's riding experience; in addition, the optimal air outlet adjustment parameters of the air-conditioning outlet at the corresponding position are predicted based on the occupant's body surface temperature distribution time series data and sitting posture time series data, so that the air-conditioning outlet can be continuously adjusted during the user's ride, further improving the accuracy of the vehicle air-conditioning adjustment and the user's riding experience.
