Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rearview mirror technology, and more specifically, to a rearview mirror with interactive functions. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry undergoes a profound transformation towards intelligence and connectivity, intelligent connected vehicle technology is evolving in all aspects, from the iteration of autonomous driving assistance functions to the improvement of the in-vehicle ecosystem, continuously reshaping the user's driving experience.

[0003] In this process, users' demands for in-vehicle devices are no longer limited to basic control functions, but are rapidly upgrading towards intelligent decision-making and humanized interaction. This requires devices to accurately understand driving intentions and expects the interaction process to adapt to the safety and efficiency requirements of driving scenarios, achieving "burdenless" information acquisition and command execution.

[0004] However, the core interaction path of current in-vehicle interactive systems relies on the "voice control + screen display + audio broadcast" model, which makes it difficult to balance driving safety and information acquisition efficiency.

[0005] From the perspective of actual driving scenarios, this mode has two major problems: First, the risk of distraction. When the driver needs to obtain information such as the vehicle status, he / she needs to shift his / her gaze from the road in front to the central control or instrument panel screen. Even a brief 1-2 seconds of deviance of gaze may cause safety hazards due to sudden changes in road conditions.

[0006] Secondly, information transmission delays and misjudgments can occur. For voice feedback that relies on auditory reception, information attenuation or interference can easily occur, leading drivers to misjudge key information. For example, when a driver uses voice to inquire "Is there a vehicle approaching from behind?" to plan a lane change, if they only rely on the vehicle's voice broadcast "A vehicle is approaching from behind", they may not hear it clearly due to information attenuation or interference. If they then turn to check the rear camera image displayed on the vehicle's screen, they need to interrupt their observation of the road conditions ahead, creating a safety gap of "interactive waiting" or "attention switching".

[0007] The current situation, characterized by "voice feedback being easily interfered with and screen interaction requiring a shift in gaze," is gradually failing to meet the "real-time, safe, and seamless" interaction requirements of intelligent connected vehicles, and has become a key pain point restricting further upgrades to the in-vehicle interactive experience. In light of this, we propose a rearview mirror with interactive functions. Summary of the Invention

[0070] The viewing transmission assembly includes a lead screw and a sliding block.

[0071] The millimeter wave radar module is electrically connected with the vehicle body signal processing unit, which is used to detect three position parameters of the rear vehicle relative to the vehicle in real time, and transmit the three position parameters to the vehicle body signal processing unit, and the vehicle body signal processing unit calculates the angle adjustment parameter of the movable lens by using the proportional coefficient compensation method and controls the operation of the viewing driving mechanism to realize the angle adjustment of the movable lens, so as to facilitate the direct observation of the position of the rear vehicle by the driver, and the three position parameters include lateral offset coefficient, longitudinal distance, and vertical offset amount.

[0072] The lateral offset coefficient is the proportion of the horizontal line connecting the center of the rear vehicle and the rearview mirror of the vehicle deviating from the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle, and the value range is [-0.8, 0.8];

[0073] The longitudinal distance is the straight-line distance between the rearview mirror of the vehicle and the rear vehicle;

[0074] The vertical offset is the vertical height difference between the center of the rear vehicle window and the center of the movable mirror of the vehicle;

[0075] Wherein:

[0076] The specific steps of the body signal processing unit for calculating the angle adjustment parameter of the movable mirror include:

[0077] S1, defining the reference coordinate system of the movable mirror: taking the geometric center of the movable mirror as the origin, the horizontal direction as the X-axis, the vertical direction as the Z-axis, and the normal direction of the mirror in the initial state as the Y-axis;
