[0024] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0026] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0027] This application provides a method, system, server, and vehicle for adjusting the electrical system of a vehicle, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient electrical adjustments in vehicles.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the electrical systems of a vehicle, as provided in an embodiment of this application. It includes:

[0029] S101, after starting the target vehicle, obtain the current time point and the target route of the target vehicle;

[0030] S102, based on the current time and the target route, estimate the target time period when the target vehicle passes through the target route;

[0031] S103, determine the matching target location based on the target time period and the target route, wherein the target location is the location determined by the server based on the electrical adjustment record sent by the first vehicle, the first vehicle is any vehicle that reports the electrical adjustment record to the server, and the electrical adjustment record includes the first time when the first vehicle adjusts the electrical appliance, the first position of the first vehicle when adjusting the electrical appliance, and the first strategy for adjusting the electrical appliance;

[0032] S104, when the target vehicle passes the target location within the target time period, the electrical system of the target vehicle is adjusted using an adjustment strategy that matches the target location.

[0033] The above-mentioned vehicle electrical adjustment method can be applied to the process of automatically adjusting the electrical systems in a vehicle.

[0034] The aforementioned vehicles can be gasoline-powered vehicles, pure electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), extended-range electric vehicles (EREV), or fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV).

[0035] The aforementioned electrical appliances can be electronic products or smart hardware installed in the vehicle. For example, they could be media players, radios, touchscreens, etc. The control of the electrical appliances in this application can include on / off control, volume control, channel control, etc.

[0036] In this embodiment, the vehicles include a first vehicle and a target vehicle. The first vehicle is any vehicle that uploads its electrical adjustment records to the server. The server records the electrical adjustment records uploaded by the first vehicle and then uses them to analyze the user's adjustment habits. The target vehicle is either one of the first vehicles or a different vehicle. The target vehicle is the vehicle currently being driven by the user. Based on the electrical adjustment records uploaded by the first vehicle, it is determined whether the current user's target vehicle has undergone the same adjustments.

[0037] In this embodiment, when determining whether to adjust the electrical system of the target vehicle based on the electrical adjustment record of the first vehicle, the current time and the target route of the target vehicle can be obtained after the target vehicle is started. The target route can be a route determined based on the user's destination, such as a navigation route. This embodiment can divide a day into different time periods, for example, one hour or one 10-minute period, resulting in multiple time periods per day. The specific length of each time period is not limited. After the user starts the target vehicle, and after obtaining the current time and target route of the target vehicle, it is possible to determine which segment of the road the target vehicle is traveling on the target route and which time period it falls within. If a day is divided into 24 time periods, and the target vehicle starts at 12:00 noon, then the target vehicle will be traveling on the target route between 12:00 noon and 1:00 noon. If the travel time exceeds one hour, it will continue to occupy the time period between 1:00 noon and 2:00 noon; if the travel time is even longer, it will continue to occupy the time period between 2:00 noon and 3:00 noon, and so on. Within each time period, the target vehicle will travel a sub-route on the target route.

[0038] Through the above process, the sub-segments of the target vehicle's route on the target route within each time period are determined. In this embodiment, the server further determines, based on the electrical adjustment records uploaded by the first vehicle, that the first vehicle adjusted its electrical components at the first time, at the first location, and using the first strategy. Therefore, the adjustment strategy of the target vehicle can be determined through the adjustment records of the first vehicle.

[0039] When determining the adjustment strategy for the target vehicle, it's crucial to ascertain whether the target vehicle has passed the first vehicle's first position. In other words, the adjustment strategy for the first vehicle cannot be applied solely to the target vehicle; rather, it must be applied only when the target vehicle and the first vehicle pass through the same position at the same time or within the same time period. The strategy involves the server, upon receiving the first vehicle's first time, first position, and first strategy, aggregating the first strategies for the same position within the same time period. This yields the processing strategy for all vehicles at each position within each time period. When determining the target vehicle's processing strategy, the target position passed by the target vehicle within the target time period is identified. If this position overlaps with a position of the first vehicle within a certain time period, the processing strategy for that position within that time period is then fed back to the target vehicle.

[0040] After receiving the corresponding processing strategy, when the target vehicle passes through the target location within the target time period, the electrical system on the target vehicle will be automatically adjusted according to the processing strategy.

[0041] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the electrical adjustment method for the server-side vehicle. It includes:

[0042] S201, Obtain the target time period and target route of the target vehicle, wherein the target time period is the time period in which the target vehicle passes through the target route;

[0043] S202, determine the matching target location based on the target time period and the target route, wherein the target location is the location determined by the server based on the electrical adjustment record sent by the first vehicle, the first vehicle is any vehicle that reports the electrical adjustment record to the server, and the electrical adjustment record includes the first time when the first vehicle adjusts the electrical appliance, the first position of the first vehicle when adjusting the electrical appliance, and the first strategy for adjusting the electrical appliance;

[0044] S203, an adjustment strategy matching the target location is sent to the target vehicle so that when the target vehicle passes the target location during the target time period, the electrical system of the target vehicle is adjusted using the adjustment strategy matching the target location.

[0045] The server retrieves the electrical adjustment records sent by the first vehicle and then determines the processing strategy for each location within each time period based on these records. Once the processing strategy is determined, if the target vehicle is traveling on the target route within the target time period, the corresponding processing strategy can be sent to the target vehicle, which will then adjust its electrical system according to the strategy at the corresponding location within the corresponding time period.

[0046] Please illustrate with an example. For instance, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the server interacts with n vehicles (1-n), where the number of vehicles changes constantly and n is a positive integer. Each vehicle uploads its electrical adjustment records to the server, which records, processes, and summarizes these records. When a target vehicle starts up, the server uses the processed electrical adjustment records to determine the target vehicle's automatic electrical adjustment strategy. For example, if the electrical adjustment record indicates an adjustment to the vehicle's audio volume, the target vehicle will automatically adjust its audio volume accordingly.

[0047] For example, the first vehicle is driven at different times and on different road sections. During this process, if the first vehicle does not adjust its electrical system, no electrical adjustment record will be generated; however, if the first vehicle adjusts its electrical system, an electrical adjustment record will be generated. The record will include the adjustment time period, the road section traveled, and the adjustment strategy. Figure 4 The diagram shown is a summary of data from an exemplary first vehicle's electrical adjustment records, including adjustment records for different time periods and road sections.Figure 4 The solid and dashed lines in the diagram represent data within different time periods. For example, with a time period of one hour, the solid line represents the location determined by the server after the first vehicle passing through point A, B, or C within a specific hour, such as 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, reports an electrical adjustment record. If the target vehicle passes through point A, B, or C within the same time period, such as 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM on a particular day, the corresponding adjustment strategy will be used to adjust the target vehicle's electrical system. Figure 4 The dotted lines indicate suitable locations for adjusting electrical components during another time period. For example, if a vehicle travels a long distance and point D is a suitable location for adjusting electrical components between 1:00 and 2:00, then when the target vehicle passes point D during the same time period, its electrical components will be automatically adjusted according to the corresponding adjustment strategy. It's important to note that once the server determines which time period and location are suitable for electrical component adjustments, the target vehicle must pass through the same location within the same time period for adjustments to be made. If the time period or location does not match, automatic electrical component adjustment will not occur.

[0048] As an optional example, after starting the target vehicle, the method further includes: when the electrical appliances on the target vehicle are adjusted, collecting the target time, target location, and target strategy for adjusting the electrical appliances on the target vehicle; and sending the target time, target location, and target strategy to the server so that the server determines the number and content of adjustment strategies for each location within each time period based on the target time, target location, and target strategy.

[0049] In this embodiment, the target vehicle may or may not be one of the first vehicles. That is, after analyzing the electrical adjustment records of the first vehicle, other vehicles use the analysis results to automatically adjust their electrical systems. Besides automatic electrical adjustments, the target vehicle can also have its electrical systems manually adjusted by the user. The electrical adjustment records generated by the user's manual adjustments to the target vehicle can also be uploaded to the server for recording and analysis to determine the target location within each time period. The automatic electrical adjustment process on the target vehicle, since it is a strategy obtained by the server, will not be uploaded as an electrical adjustment record unless confirmed as valid or appropriate by the user.

[0050] Whether it's the target vehicle or the first vehicle, when uploading the electrical adjustment record, the record must include at least the time period in which the adjustment occurred, the vehicle's location at the time of adjustment, and the strategy used to adjust the electrical system. After receiving these three details, the server can determine the target location within each time period based on the records already uploaded by all vehicles, as well as the records uploaded in real-time after new vehicles form their electrical adjustment records.

[0051] After receiving all records, the server can divide them into different time periods. Records within different time periods do not interfere with each other. For example, records of adjusting appliances at location A between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM will not be used to determine the target location between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. After dividing all appliance adjustment records, the server can obtain the adjustment strategies for appliances at multiple locations within each time period. Then, the server further divides the adjustment strategies for the same appliances. For example, if multiple people adjust the same appliance at location A, and the number of times the appliance is adjusted at location A exceeds a preset threshold, then location A can be considered a suitable location for adjusting the appliance. For example, if... Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the location of a vehicle during an example of adjusting electrical appliances within a certain time period. Figure 5 Each circle in the diagram represents an adjustment to an electrical appliance. During these adjustments, the vehicle's position may overlap or be close together. The server clusters the circles that are close together, identifying cluster centers. These cluster centers are then designated as the points where the vehicle's electrical appliances can be automatically adjusted. For example, the clustering might result in circles like... Figure 4 Points A, B, and C are shown in the diagram. Since the server pre-stores target locations suitable for adjusting vehicle electrical systems for various time periods, when a target vehicle passes through a target location during the corresponding time period, it can automatically adjust its electrical systems according to the corresponding strategy.

[0052] As an optional example, after the target vehicle is started, determining the matching target location based on the target time period and the target route includes: determining the sub-routes of the target route traversed by the target vehicle in each target time period; sending the target time period and the target route to the server, whereby the server determines the location that overlaps with each sub-route of each target time period; and using the determined location as the target location.

[0053] In this embodiment, to ensure the target vehicle correctly matches its target location, it's necessary to determine the time period during which the target vehicle traveled to which location. Therefore, the target vehicle's target route can be obtained, and based on this route, it can be determined which segment of the road the target vehicle traversed within which time period. For example, ... Figure 6The diagram shows the sub-road segments traveled by the target vehicle at different time periods. The arrows indicate the driving direction, and the distinction between dashed and solid lines indicates that the target vehicle traversed different sub-road segments at different time periods.

[0054] This allows us to determine where the target vehicle passed through in each time period, and then adjust the vehicle's electrical system at the target location within the corresponding time period.

[0055] As an optional example, after starting the target vehicle, the method further includes: when the electrical adjustment mode is personalized, determining a matching personal location based on the target time period and the target route, wherein the personal location is a location determined based on the electrical adjustment record of the target vehicle.

[0056] The process described above in this embodiment involves automatically adjusting the electrical system of the target vehicle using the electrical adjustment records of the first vehicle. If the user has not enabled this function, automatic adjustment of the target vehicle's electrical system is not required. Alternatively, the user can enable personalized adjustment. If personalized adjustment is enabled, the target vehicle's own electrical adjustment records can be collected. Then, the server or the target vehicle itself can determine adjustment strategies for different time periods and locations based on these records, allowing the target vehicle to automatically adjust its electrical system according to its own electrical adjustment records.

[0057] The electrical adjustments described in this application can include adjustments to the vehicle's audio system, horn, touchscreen, etc. Adjustment strategies can include increasing volume, decreasing volume, turning the device on or off, etc.

[0058] Taking adjusting the volume of a vehicle's audio system as an example, this embodiment divides 24 hours into several equal parts. The number of parts can be a pre-set value. For example, dividing it into 24 parts means each time period is one hour. The server counts the volume settings actively made by all users within each time period. If a user actively adjusts the audio volume, the user's vehicle is designated as the first vehicle. The first vehicle reports an electrical adjustment record, which includes the adjustment time, the location of the first vehicle at the time of adjustment, and the adjustment strategy, such as increasing or decreasing the volume. Since a larger number of terminals corresponding to a setting location indicates that this setting location is likely an important location where the user needs to adjust the volume for the first time using the vehicle, the server can count setting locations where the number of terminals at each setting location exceeds a preset threshold to obtain multiple setting locations and identify these locations as all historical setting records. Therefore, in this scenario, the historical setting locations generated by the server include multiple setting locations within that time period. The preset threshold can be set in advance. For example, the preset threshold is 50. If the server's statistical data for the volume settings during this time period is: (1000, 20), (300, 16), (50, 13), (5, 5), (1600, 3), (100, 0), where the first parameter in parentheses represents the number of terminals (users) corresponding to the setting location, and the second parameter represents the volume value at the setting location, then the data for (5, 5) does not accurately reflect the volume values ​​desired by most users during this time period. Therefore, when generating the historical audio setting record, the server does not record this data (5, 5). Instead, the historical setting record includes multiple volume values ​​(20, 16, 13, 5, 3, 0) for multiple locations within this time period. These multiple volume values ​​can be for the same location or for different locations. For example, (20, 16) represents the volume value for one location, and the remaining data represents the volume value for another location, or all data represents the volume value for the same location. When faced with multiple volume values ​​at the same location, when automatically adjusting the volume value of the target vehicle, you can choose to set the value with the most frequent values, or use the average value, or the weighted average value as the target volume value.

[0059] If the same user sets the volume value multiple times within a certain period of time, the system can discard the previous setting data and upload the new data to the server if the time interval between the two most recent volume settings is within a preset threshold.

[0060] When a new time period begins, each user uploads the volume settings data from the previous time period. If the usage time does not meet the previous condition, that is, the user has not yet used a time period, then all the volume settings data for the most recent time period are uploaded when the user locks the car.

[0061] If this is the user's first time using the vehicle at this time, the server retrieves the volume level value that users actively set most frequently during this time period. When the user's target vehicle passes a location, the corresponding volume value is used to adjust the target vehicle's audio system. If this is not the user's first time using the vehicle at this time, the server first counts the user's historical volume levels set during this time period, then retrieves the volume level value that was set most frequently at the same location. If the number of times each value is set is the same, then the most recent volume level set during this time period is used.

[0062] In this embodiment, a setting location with a corresponding number of users greater than a reference number can be selected from at least one setting location. The setting location closest to the current location of the target vehicle among the selected setting locations is taken as the target setting location. The value of the reference number can be set arbitrarily, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0063] Since the number of users determines whether the volume setting is the user's desired value, a large number of users indicates that the corresponding setting location is more in line with users' setting habits. A small number of users indicates that the corresponding setting location may only be the setting method of a minority of users, and not a common setting habit. Therefore, when determining the target location based on at least one setting location, the setting location with the largest number of users can be selected from the at least one setting location, and then the value of the setting location closest to the target vehicle is used as the target volume value. For example, if the at least one setting location is (1600, 15), (100, 10), and (40, 9), and the reference number is 100, then first select the setting locations (1600, 15) and (100, 10) with a user number greater than the reference number of 100, and adjust the volume value of the target vehicle according to the volume value of the location closer to the target vehicle. Alternatively, among the two locations, select the volume value with the smaller difference from the target vehicle's volume value to adjust the target vehicle's volume value.

[0064] In another implementation, a user can select more than a reference number of settings locations, and choose the one closest to the current playback position as the target position. The reference number can be freely set, and this embodiment does not limit it. Since the user repeatedly sets the volume to a desired value, the more times the user actively sets it within a certain time period, the more the value matches the user's settings habits. Therefore, the value with the smallest difference among the settings locations is set as the target value.

[0065] A new button could be added to the vehicle system to enable or disable the automatic audio volume setting function. When enabled, this function offers two options: user-based intelligent settings or system-based intelligent settings. User-based intelligent settings utilize only the user's personal historical data; if historical data is unavailable, it then uses historical data from all users. System-based intelligent settings utilize only historical data from all users.

[0066] Individual user settings can be stored in their own system's database. When it is necessary to adjust the volume according to personal preferences, the data is retrieved from the database. When it is necessary to make intelligent settings based on all users, the data is retrieved from the server. This reduces the number of network requests and improves efficiency.

[0073] The estimation module 802 is used to estimate the target time period when the target vehicle passes through the target route based on the current time point and the target route;

[0074] The determination module 803 is used to determine the matching target location based on the target time period and the target route. The target location is the location determined by the server based on the electrical adjustment record sent by the first vehicle. The first vehicle is any vehicle that reports the electrical adjustment record to the server. The electrical adjustment record includes the first time when the first vehicle adjusts the electrical appliance, the first position of the first vehicle when adjusting the electrical appliance, and the first strategy for adjusting the electrical appliance.

[0075] The adjustment module 804 is used to adjust the electrical system of the target vehicle using an adjustment strategy that matches the target location when the target vehicle passes through the target location within the target time period.

[0076] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of an electrical adjustment system for a vehicle provided in this embodiment. It includes:

[0077] Target vehicle 901 is used to obtain the current time and the target route of the target vehicle after the target vehicle is started; based on the current time and the target route, the target time period when the target vehicle passes through the target route is estimated.

[0078] Server 902 is used to determine a matching target location based on a target time period and a target route. The target location is determined by the server based on the electrical adjustment record sent by the first vehicle. The first vehicle is any vehicle that reports the electrical adjustment record to the server. The electrical adjustment record includes the first time the first vehicle adjusted the electrical components, the first position of the first vehicle when adjusting the electrical components, and the first strategy for adjusting the electrical components. The server sends the adjustment strategy matching the target location to the target vehicle so that when the target vehicle passes through the target location within the target time period, it uses the adjustment strategy matching the target location to adjust the electrical components of the target vehicle.

[0079] The aforementioned server, vehicle, and vehicle electrical adjustment system can be used to automatically adjust the electrical components in the vehicle. These electrical components can be electronic products or smart hardware installed in the vehicle, such as a media player, radio, or touchscreen. The control of these electrical components in this application can include on / off control, volume control, and channel control.

[0080] In this embodiment, when determining whether to adjust the electrical system of the target vehicle based on the electrical adjustment record of the first vehicle, the current time and the target route of the target vehicle can be obtained after the target vehicle is started. The target route can be a route determined based on the user's destination, such as a navigation route. This embodiment can divide a day into different time periods, for example, one hour or one 10-minute period, resulting in multiple time periods per day. The specific length of each time period is not limited. After the user starts the target vehicle, and after obtaining the current time and target route of the target vehicle, it is possible to determine which segment of the road the target vehicle is traveling on the target route and which time period it falls within. If a day is divided into 24 time periods, and the target vehicle starts at 12:00 noon, then the target vehicle will be traveling on the target route between 12:00 noon and 1:00 noon. If the travel time exceeds one hour, it will continue to occupy the time period between 1:00 noon and 2:00 noon; if the travel time is even longer, it will continue to occupy the time period between 2:00 noon and 3:00 noon, and so on. Within each time period, the target vehicle will travel a sub-route on the target route.

[0081] Through the above process, the sub-segments of the target vehicle's route on the target route within each time period are determined. In this embodiment, the server further determines, based on the electrical adjustment records uploaded by the first vehicle, that the first vehicle adjusted its electrical components at the first time, at the first location, and using the first strategy. Therefore, the adjustment strategy of the target vehicle can be determined through the adjustment records of the first vehicle.

[0082] When determining the adjustment strategy for the target vehicle, it's crucial to ascertain whether the target vehicle has passed the first vehicle's first position. In other words, the adjustment strategy for the first vehicle cannot be applied solely to the target vehicle; rather, it must be applied only when the target vehicle and the first vehicle pass through the same position at the same time or within the same time period. The strategy involves the server, upon receiving the first vehicle's first time, first position, and first strategy, aggregating the first strategies for the same position within the same time period. This yields the processing strategy for all vehicles at each position within each time period. When determining the target vehicle's processing strategy, the target position passed by the target vehicle within the target time period is identified. If this position overlaps with a position of the first vehicle within a certain time period, the processing strategy for that position within that time period is then fed back to the target vehicle.

[0083] After receiving the corresponding processing strategy, when the target vehicle passes through the target location within the target time period, the electrical system on the target vehicle will be automatically adjusted according to the processing strategy.
