[0019] The present application provides a car light system with display interaction information, which can be applied to automatic driving vehicles and manual driving vehicles, providing rich interaction information for external objects to understand the current driving state of the vehicle, and then realizing interaction with external objects. The following takes the application of the car light system with display interaction information to automatic driving vehicles as an example for description.

[0020] Figure 1 It is the structure schematic diagram of the car light system with display interaction information provided by the present embodiment applied to a vehicle. The car light system 1 is applied to a vehicle 100, and is used to indicate the reason for the current operation of the vehicle 100 to external objects. The car light system 1 with display interaction information provided by the present application comprises a car light 11, a display screen 12, and a control device 13. The display screen 12 is integrated in the car light 11. The control device 13 can be integrated in the car light 11 or arranged outside the car light 11, and is used to control the display screen 12.

[0021] The car light 11 comprises a shell 111 and a light source 112 arranged in the shell 111, and the light source 112 is used to emit light. The car light 11 and the light effect of the light are arranged according to the vehicle regulation. The vehicle regulation refers to a kind of automobile standard, which conforms to the regulations of various countries about automobile standards. The standards of various countries are different. In the present embodiment, the vehicle regulation mainly refers to the standard of the car light 11 in the vehicle regulation, including the position of the car light 11 and the light effect of the car light 11. That is to say, the position and light effect of the car light 11 in the present embodiment are arranged according to the provisions. In the present embodiment, the car light 11 can be a turn signal, a position light, a brake light, etc. In the standard of the car light 11, the type of the car light 11 is determined by the position and light effect of the car light 11. Different types of car light 11 perform different functions. For example, the turn signal is arranged at the front and rear of the vehicle 100 and is distributed in a rectangular shape. When not turning, the car light 11 is turned off. When turning, the car light 11 is turned on and is in a flickering state, and the light is orange. The shell 111 is transparent, which is beneficial to light transmission.

[0022] The display screen 12 is arranged in the housing 111, so that the vehicle lamp 11 integrates the light source 112 and the display screen 12. The display screen 12 is an LED display screen. In an embodiment, the display screen 12 is provided with a plurality of light bars (not shown in the figure), and the light bars are arranged according to preset content; or the display screen 12 displays according to preset image content. In the embodiment, the vehicle 100 is an autonomous vehicle. The content displayed by the display screen 12 is used to transmit to an external object a decision made by the vehicle 100 to perform a current operation. For example, the vehicle has been turned off, the vehicle is braking, the vehicle has entered an autonomous driving mode, there is a pedestrian in front of the vehicle, etc. The external object can be a pedestrian or a driver or passenger on another vehicle, so that the external object can know the true situation of the current vehicle 100 and more accurately assist the external object to make a decision. Generally, when the vehicle lamp 11 is executed, the external object can only infer the action performed by the vehicle 100 from the current vehicle lamp situation of the vehicle 100. For example, when the brake light is on, the external object can only know that the vehicle 100 is braking, but does not know whether the vehicle 100 is emergency braking or deceleration, and also does not know the decision made by the vehicle 100 to perform emergency braking or deceleration. The vehicle lamp system 1 provided in the embodiment can display the decision made by the vehicle 100 to perform a current operation through the display screen 12, so as to assist the external object to more quickly and accurately know the decision of the vehicle 100, which is beneficial to the external object to make a decision. For example, the pedestrian can know whether to bypass the vehicle 100 from the front; whether the adjacent vehicle avoids or passes, etc., so that the external object passes more conveniently.

[0023] Whether the display screen 12 is lit or the content displayed is controlled by the control device 13. The control device 13 is used to control the display screen 12 to display corresponding information. In the embodiment, the information displayed by the display screen 12 can be text content, patterns, or a combination of the two. The text content includes words, letters, numbers, symbols, etc. Specifically, the control device 13 is a control chip or can be a control circuit board. The control device 13 has a program software burned therein for controlling the vehicle lamp system 1 to execute.

[0024] The control device 13 is used to be in communication connection with the main control equipment 2 of the autonomous vehicle, and the control device 13 obtains the decision of the vehicle 100 to perform a current operation and the perception information according to the data generated by the main control equipment 2.

[0025] In the embodiment, the control device 13 includes an analysis unit 131 and a display control unit 132. The analysis unit 131 and the display control unit 132 are program blocks in the control device 13 for executing specific functions.

[0026] The analysis unit 131 is configured to obtain the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 and the perception information, and determine whether to light up the display screen 12 according to the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 and determine the content to be displayed according to the perception information. The decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 and the perception information are obtained by the control device 13 from the master control device 2. The master control device 2 is configured to supervise the operation of each functional component in the vehicle 100. It is understood that the light system 1 is also controlled by the master control device 2.

[0027] The display control unit 132 is configured to control the display screen 12 to display the content to be displayed determined by the analysis unit 131 according to the perception information. The content displayed by the display screen 12 is selected from a plurality of preset contents, and is configured to show the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 to interact with the external object.

[0028] In some possible embodiments, the display screen 12 can dynamically display the information corresponding to the preset content. Further, the preset content should correspond to the interactive information one by one, that is, one preset content cannot correspond to multiple interactive information, and one interactive information cannot correspond to multiple preset contents. In this way, it can be prevented that the external object causes confusion in identifying the interactive information.

[0029] The multiple lighted display screens 12 can display different contents or the same content at the same time. Specifically, the content displayed by the display screen 12 is determined by the control device 13. When the control device 13 determines to display one preset content, the multiple display screens 12 display the information corresponding to the same preset content at the same time. When the control device 13 determines to display multiple preset contents, the multiple display screens 12 display the information corresponding to the multiple preset contents respectively at the same time, that is, the multiple display screens 12 display different contents.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 6The master device 2 comprises a decision module 21 and a perception module 22. The decision module 21 is communicatively connected with the perception module 22. The perception module 22 is configured to generate perception information. The decision module 21 is configured to make a decision based on the perception information to control the vehicle 100 to perform an operation. The perception module 22 perceives based on sensor data from sensors (not shown in the figure) arranged on the vehicle 100 or external data from external devices, and then obtains the perception information, such as whether there is an obstacle around the vehicle 100, the speed and distance of the obstacle, and the width and curvature of the road. Further, the perception module 22 fuses the sensor data and the external data by using a data fusion technology to obtain the final perception information. The sensor collects scene information data around the vehicle 100, and the sensor data includes radar sensor data, camera sensor data, positioning system sensing data, etc. The external data includes data uploaded by other vehicles 100 and data provided by a third-party platform, such as weather data, road condition data, etc.

[0031] The decision module 21 controls the vehicle 100 to drive by controlling the behavior of the vehicle 100, such as accelerating, decelerating, turning left, turning right, and regulating the vehicle light system 1, which are all output decisions of the decision module 21. The decision module 21 constructs different levels of scenes in combination with the perception information, calculates individual decisions belonging to each scene for each scene in combination with traffic rules, checks whether there is a conflict between the individual decisions, resolves the conflict between the individual decisions according to the priority of the individual decisions, and obtains the final decision after comprehensively considering all the individual decisions. Further, the individual decisions have priorities. When there are multiple individual decisions and there is a conflict between the multiple individual decisions, the decision module 21 selects the individual decision with the highest priority as the final decision. When there are multiple individual decisions but there is no conflict between the multiple individual decisions, the decision module 21 fuses the multiple individual decisions into the final decision. The control device 13 of the vehicle light system 1 receives the decision sent by the decision module 21. In this embodiment, when there are multiple individual decisions related to the vehicle light system 1 and there is a conflict between the multiple individual decisions, the decision module 21 selects the individual decision with the highest priority as the final decision.

[0032] The decision module 21 outputs the final decision to the corresponding lower module, i.e., the module for regulating the vehicle light system 1. On the one hand, the decision module 21 controls the behavior of the vehicle 100, and on the other hand, the decision module 21 controls the vehicle light system 1 to light up the corresponding light source or display screen 12 and display the corresponding interactive information.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 2-5 which shows specific examples of the vehicle light system 1 displaying interactive information in different scenes. It can be understood that whether the display screen 12 is lighted up and the content displayed are determined by the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 and the perception information, respectively. For example, Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, when the perception module 22 perceives that the traffic light in front of the vehicle 100 is red, the decision module 21 issues a decision of stopping to control the vehicle 100 to stop, the analysis unit 131 lights the display screen 12 according to the decision of stopping, and selects a word or pattern representing that the vehicle 100 stops at the red light, such as the word: red light stop, and the display control unit 132 controls the display screen 12 to display the corresponding content. As shown, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the perception module 22 perceives that there is a pedestrian passing in front of the vehicle 100, the decision module 21 issues a decision of stopping to control the vehicle 100 to stop, the analysis unit 131 lights the display screen 12 according to the decision of stopping, and selects a word or pattern representing that the vehicle 100 stops to show courtesy to the pedestrian, such as the word: courtesy to pedestrian, and the display control unit 132 controls the display screen 13 to display the corresponding content.

[0034] Please refer again to Figure 1 The application also provides a vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 is provided with the vehicle light system 1 having display interactive information. The vehicle light system 1 comprises a plurality of vehicle lights 11, a display screen 12 arranged in the shell 111 of the plurality of vehicle lights 11, and a control device 13 for controlling whether the display screen 12 works and determining the content displayed by the display screen 12. The specific structure of the vehicle light system 1 is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0035] In this embodiment, the display screen 12 is installed on the vehicle 100, and the display screen 12 exhibits rich information for driving interaction with external objects. Specifically, first, the display screen 12 is arranged in the shell 111, on the one hand, the display screen 12 is integrated with the vehicle light 11, so that the vehicle 100 exhibits rich interactive information through the display screen 12 and the vehicle light 11, and on the other hand, the display screen 12 is not easy to be worn out, thereby increasing its service life. Second, the analysis unit 131 is used to obtain the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100 and the perception information, and determine whether to light the display screen 12 according to the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100, and determine the content to be displayed according to the perception information, and the vehicle 100 performs the corresponding operation according to the decision. Third, the display control unit 132 is used to control the display screen 12 to display the content to be displayed determined by the analysis unit 131 according to the perception information, and the content displayed by the display screen 12 is selected from a plurality of preset contents, for exhibiting the decision of the operation currently performed by the vehicle 100, to interact with external objects.
