[0002] In modern society, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation, bringing great convenience to daily travel. As a key component of passive safety devices, the airbag system plays a vital role in protecting the safety of vehicle occupants.
[0003] Currently, the technology detects the seatbelt buckle signal in the front passenger seat to determine whether someone is riding in the vehicle and then activates or deactivates the front passenger airbag. However, this method may cause injury to special occupants such as children and smaller adults. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the related technologies, it is desirable to provide a passenger airbag suppression system, method, vehicle and storage medium that can effectively protect target occupants such as children and small adults, thereby improving safety.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a passenger-side airbag suppression system, which includes an occupant monitoring device, a main unit, and an airbag control device connected in sequence. The host includes a touch screen, a memory, and a processor. The processor is used to respond to a vehicle start signal, obtain the passenger airbag control mode stored in the memory, and the passenger airbag control mode is selected and set by the user through the touch screen. If the passenger airbag control mode is a manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode is on, a passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device, and a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message is issued. Furthermore, if the passenger airbag control mode is the adaptive suppression mode, the data collected by each sensor in the occupant monitoring device is acquired and analyzed to determine whether the passenger in the passenger seat is the target passenger; if the passenger in the passenger seat is the target passenger, the passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device and an alarm message is issued, the alarm message indicating that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the passenger seat.
[0006] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the occupant monitoring device includes an image sensor, a seat weight sensor, and a seat back sensor. The image sensor is used to collect image data of the front row of the vehicle, the seat weight sensor is used to collect weight data of the front passenger seat, and the seat back sensor is used to collect pressure distribution data of the front passenger seat back.
[0007] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the occupant monitoring device further includes a live radar disposed around the front passenger seat. The live radar is used to detect whether there is a person in the front passenger seat, and if so, to collect the body shape data of the passenger in the front passenger seat.
[0008] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, when analyzing the collected data to determine whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, the processor is specifically used to compensate for the weight data and the pressure distribution data if the weight data, the pressure distribution data and the body shape data do not match.
[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, when analyzing the collected data to determine whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, the processor is further specifically used to input the collected data into a pre-trained neural network model to identify the type of passenger in the front passenger seat and determine whether the passenger type corresponds to the target passenger. The processor is also configured to add the collected data to the feature database for self-learning when the passenger type corresponds to the target passenger.
[0010] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the host further includes a monitor connected to the touchscreen. The monitor is used to monitor the working status of the touchscreen and, when the working status of the touchscreen is invalid, sends a screen failure signal to the airbag control device. The screen failure signal is used to instruct the airbag control device to use the passenger airbag setting data that was last verified to be valid.
[0011] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the airbag control device includes a controller and at least one collision sensor. The controller is used to receive vehicle collision signals sent by the collision sensor and control the working state of the passenger airbag based on the passenger airbag setting data.
[0012] Secondly, this application provides a method for suppressing a passenger-side airbag, wherein the method is used in the host unit of the passenger-side airbag suppression system according to any one of the first aspects, and the method includes: In response to the vehicle start signal, the system retrieves the passenger airbag control mode stored in the memory, which is selected and set by the user via a touchscreen. If the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode is on, a passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device, and a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message is issued. If the passenger airbag control mode is the adaptive suppression mode, the data collected by each sensor in the occupant monitoring device is acquired and analyzed to determine whether the passenger in the passenger seat is the target passenger. If the passenger in the passenger seat is the target passenger, the passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device and an alarm message is issued, which indicates that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the passenger seat.
[0013] Thirdly, this application provides a vehicle that includes the passenger-side airbag suppression system described in any one of the first aspects.
[0014] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs that can be executed by one or more processors to implement the steps of the passenger airbag suppression method described in the second aspect.
[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages: This application provides a passenger-side airbag suppression system, method, vehicle, and storage medium. By acquiring the passenger-side airbag control mode selected and set by the user on the touchscreen, a physical switch is eliminated, reducing costs. If the passenger-side airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is on, a passenger-side airbag deactivation command can be sent to the airbag control device, along with a passenger-side airbag deactivation prompt message, allowing the user to be promptly informed. If the passenger-side airbag control mode is adaptive suppression mode, data collected from various sensors can be comprehensively analyzed to improve judgment accuracy. The system automatically determines whether the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger, such as a child or a small adult. When the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger, a passenger-side airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device, along with an alarm message, indicating that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the passenger seat, ensuring the safety of the target occupant.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following examples illustrate this. Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides in detail the passenger airbag suppression system, method, vehicle, and storage medium provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a passenger-side airbag suppression system provided in this application embodiment. The passenger-side airbag suppression system 10 includes an occupant monitoring device 101, a main unit 102, and an airbag control device 103 connected in sequence. The main unit 102 includes a touch screen 1021, a memory 1022, and a processor 1023. In actual use, the processor 1023 can respond to the vehicle start signal and obtain the passenger-side airbag control mode stored in the memory 1022, i.e., it has a memory function. The passenger-side airbag control mode is selected and set by the user through the touch screen 1021. The advantage of this setting is that it eliminates the need for a physical switch, which can reduce costs and save vehicle interior space.
[0022] like Figure 2As shown, if the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is on, the processor 1023 sends a passenger airbag deactivation command to the airbag control device 103 and issues a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message, such as "The passenger airbag is currently deactivated. Please confirm whether to maintain this setting." This prompt message can be broadcast via the vehicle audio system or displayed as text in a pop-up window on the touchscreen 1021, which is equipped with "Confirm" and "Modify" option buttons. Users can choose according to their needs. If the user selects "Confirm," the passenger airbag suppression state remains unchanged. If the user selects "Modify," the user is redirected to the passenger airbag settings interface, where they can reset the passenger airbag's operating status. This is convenient, flexible, and highly interactive, improving the user experience and ensuring that users clearly understand the current operating status of the passenger airbag, avoiding safety hazards caused by ignorance. Additionally, if the user does not perform any action after the pop-up appears, the touchscreen 1021 will pop up the pop-up again after a preset time interval, until the user makes a selection, for example, the preset time interval is 30 seconds.
[0023] If the passenger airbag control mode is adaptive suppression mode, the processor 1023 acquires data from the sensors in the occupant monitoring device 101 and automatically analyzes the data to determine whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger. The target passenger includes, but is not limited to, children and small adults. If the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, a passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device 103, and an alarm message is issued. This alarm message indicates that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the front passenger seat. If the user ignores the alarm message, the vehicle can be prevented from starting to ensure the safety of the target occupant. If the passenger in the front passenger seat is not the target passenger, a passenger airbag deployment command is sent to the airbag control device 103. Similarly, this alarm message can be broadcast via the vehicle's audio system or displayed as text in a pop-up window on the touchscreen 1021, meeting diverse usage needs. In addition, the airbag control device 103 is connected to the vehicle's instrument panel indicator lights. When the passenger airbag is deactivated, the instrument panel indicator lights remain on, and when the passenger airbag is deployed, the instrument panel indicator lights turn off. This provides comprehensive reminders to the user, not just through the touchscreen 1021.
[0024] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the occupant monitoring device 101 may include an image sensor 1011, a seat weight sensor 1012, and a seat back sensor 1013. The image sensor 1011 can collect image data of the front seats of the vehicle, the seat weight sensor 1012 can collect weight data of the passenger seat, and the seat back sensor 1013 can collect pressure distribution data of the passenger seat back, considering comprehensive factors and fusing a large amount of data. Furthermore, the occupant monitoring device 101 may also include a liveness radar 1014 disposed around the passenger seat. The liveness radar 1014 can detect whether there is a person in the passenger seat. If there is a person, it collects the body shape data of the passenger in the passenger seat. The advantage of this arrangement is that it not only avoids incomplete image data caused by the passenger's casual sitting posture, affecting the analysis results, but also avoids situations where large objects are placed in the passenger seat, improving the accuracy of the judgment.
[0025] Furthermore, when analyzing the collected data to determine whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, the processor 103 can compensate for the weight data and pressure distribution data when there is a mismatch between the weight data, pressure distribution data and body shape data. For example, if it detects that the passenger's sitting posture is not standard, that is, it differs greatly from the corresponding data already in the feature database, the weight data and pressure distribution data can be compensated to avoid misjudgment. The compensation value can be determined based on the empirical value of the feature database. If the compensated weight data and pressure distribution data exceed the preset judgment threshold, it is determined that the passenger in the front passenger seat is not the target passenger and the front passenger airbag needs to be activated; otherwise, it is deactivated.
[0026] In some embodiments of this application, when analyzing the collected data to determine whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, the processor 103 can specifically input the collected data into a pre-trained neural network model to identify the passenger type in the front passenger seat and determine whether the passenger type corresponds to the target passenger. The training set of the neural network model includes feature data of passengers of different body types and age groups. Furthermore, when the passenger type corresponds to the target passenger, the processor 103 can also add the collected data to a feature database for self-learning, thereby continuously optimizing the neural network model and more accurately identifying the passenger type. Besides determining whether the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger through a neural network model, some embodiments of this application can also compare the weight data with a preset weight threshold and the pressure distribution data with a preset pressure distribution threshold for comprehensive judgment, employing various methods. Further, as... Figure 4As shown, the host 102 may also include a monitor 1024 connected to the touchscreen 1021. The monitor 1024 can monitor the operating status of the touchscreen 1021 and, when the touchscreen 1021 is inoperable, sends a screen failure signal to the airbag control device 103. This screen failure signal instructs the airbag control device 103 to use the last correctly verified passenger airbag setting data. The advantage of this setting is that even if the screen fails, the passenger airbag status remains stable until the screen returns to normal and sends a valid signal again. For example, if the monitor 1024 detects that the touchscreen 1021 no longer continuously sends node signals to the Controller Area Network (CAN), it determines that the screen has failed. For example, each time the processor 1023 sends a passenger airbag command signal to the airbag control device 103, the controller 1031 in the airbag control device 103 will verify the passenger airbag command signal. Each frame of CAN data has a check bit, which is different from the previous frame. After confirming that the passenger airbag setting data is normal, the controller 1031 stores the passenger airbag setting data in the backup unit of the airbag control device 103.
[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the airbag control device 103 may include a controller 1031 and at least one collision sensor 1032. The controller 1031 can receive vehicle collision signals sent by the collision sensor 1032 and control the working state of the passenger airbag based on the passenger airbag setting data. The at least one collision sensor 1032 is distributed in different directions of the vehicle, enabling all-around detection of collision events. When the passenger airbag is in the deployed state, the controller 1031 can adjust the inflation speed and deployment direction of the passenger airbag according to the speed and acceleration values and waveform height in the vehicle collision signal, and record the passenger airbag setting data for a period of time before and after the collision event in the vehicle event data recorder (EDR) system for later traceability.
[0028] The passenger airbag suppression system provided in this application embodiment acquires the passenger airbag control mode selected and set by the user on the touch screen, eliminating the need for a physical switch and reducing costs. If the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is on, it can send a passenger airbag deactivation command to the airbag control device and issue a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message, allowing the user to be informed in a timely manner. If the passenger airbag control mode is adaptive suppression mode, it can acquire and comprehensively analyze the data collected by various sensors, improving the accuracy of judgment, and automatically determine whether the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger such as a child or a small adult based on the collected data. When the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger, it sends a passenger airbag deactivation command to the airbag control device and issues an alarm message to indicate that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the passenger seat, ensuring the safety of the target occupant.
[0029] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a method for suppressing a passenger-side airbag, which can be used for... Figures 1 to 5 The corresponding embodiment is the main unit 102 of the passenger-side airbag suppression system 10. Please refer to... Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for suppressing a passenger-side airbag according to an embodiment of this application. The method specifically includes the following steps: S101, in response to the vehicle start signal, retrieves the passenger airbag control mode stored in the memory, which is selected and set by the user via the touch screen.
[0030] S102, if the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is on, a passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device, and a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message is issued.
[0031] In some embodiments of this application, if the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is off, a passenger airbag deployment command is sent to the airbag control device, along with a notification message indicating passenger airbag deployment, so that the user is promptly informed. The notification message can be broadcast via the vehicle's audio system or displayed as text in a pop-up window on the touchscreen, with "Confirm" and "Modify" option buttons for the user to choose from according to their needs.
[0032] S103, if the passenger airbag control mode is adaptive suppression mode, the data collected by each sensor in the occupant monitoring device is acquired, and the collected data is analyzed to determine whether the passenger in the passenger seat is the target passenger.
[0033] S104, if the passenger in the front passenger seat is the target passenger, a command to deactivate the front passenger airbag is sent to the airbag control device, and an alarm message is issued to indicate that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the front passenger seat.
[0034] In some embodiments of this application, if the passenger in the front passenger seat is not the target passenger, a command to deploy the front passenger airbag is sent to the airbag control device. The target passenger includes, but is not limited to, children and small adults. Additionally, the alarm information can be announced via the vehicle's audio system or displayed as text in a pop-up window on the touchscreen.
[0035] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0036] The passenger airbag suppression method provided in this application embodiment acquires the passenger airbag control mode selected and set by the user on the touch screen, eliminating the need for a physical switch and reducing costs. If the passenger airbag control mode is manual suppression mode and the manual suppression mode switch is on, a passenger airbag deactivation command can be sent to the airbag control device, along with a passenger airbag deactivation prompt message, allowing the user to be promptly informed. If the passenger airbag control mode is adaptive suppression mode, the collected data from various sensors can be comprehensively analyzed to improve judgment accuracy. The method automatically determines whether the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger, such as a child or a small adult, based on the collected data. When the passenger in the passenger seat is a target passenger, a passenger airbag deactivation command is sent to the airbag control device, along with an alarm message, to indicate that the target passenger is not suitable to sit in the passenger seat, ensuring the safety of the target occupant.
[0037] In another aspect, this application provides a vehicle. Please refer to... Figure 7 Vehicle 20 may include Figures 1 to 5 The passenger-side airbag suppression system 10 in the corresponding embodiment, the vehicle 20 includes, but is not limited to, fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.
