Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to an activation method for autonomous driving or assisted driving functions, an activation device for autonomous driving or assisted driving functions, and a computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, autonomous driving (or intelligent driving or assisted driving) has developed rapidly. Vehicles can be equipped with Level 2 or higher assisted driving or autonomous driving functions, such as Level 3 or even Level 4 autonomous driving functions, which can realize functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering, automatic parking, and automatic lane changing.

[0003] Although many vehicles are equipped with autonomous or driver-assistance features that can assist or replace the driver, these features may not be used frequently. Many users are still unfamiliar with these features. Users often lack a clear understanding of the applicable scenarios for various autonomous or driver-assistance features. For example, users may not actively activate these features due to concerns about safety in the current situation. Furthermore, drivers may be so focused on driving that they don't even think to activate them. This driving habit will hinder drivers from using and experiencing these features more often.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still have shortcomings in activating autonomous driving or driver assistance functions in vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an improved activation method for autonomous driving or assisted driving functions, as well as a corresponding computer program product and activation device, in order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this application, an activation method for an autonomous driving or assisted driving function is provided. The activation method includes the following steps: S1, identifying whether an inactive autonomous driving or assisted driving function of the vehicle is in an activatable state; S2, if the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an activatable state, proactively asking the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function and receiving feedback from the driver; and S3, in response to the driver's affirmative feedback indicating agreement to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function, checking whether the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met; if the activation conditions are not met, notifying the driver; if the activation conditions are met, activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function.

[0007] This activation method safely and reliably assists and encourages drivers to activate autonomous or assisted driving functions. By automatically identifying whether the autonomous or assisted driving function is available and proactively asking the driver whether to activate it, it can remind the driver when they don't recall it, reducing or eliminating the driver's need to judge whether the function can be activated. After receiving positive feedback from the driver, it re-checks whether the activation conditions for the autonomous or assisted driving function are met, thus improving safety.

[0008] In one exemplary embodiment, the activation method may further include step S4, in which a silence period is set in response to negative feedback from the driver indicating a refusal to activate the autonomous driving or driver assistance function. During the silence period, actively asking the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or driver assistance function is prohibited or the frequency of actively asking the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or driver assistance function is reduced. By utilizing the silence period, frequent inquiries about autonomous driving or driver assistance functions that the driver does not want to activate can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, the activation method may further include step S5, in which, in response to negative feedback from the driver, the driver is asked why they refused, and the driver's response to the reason for refusal is recorded. This helps to identify and resolve obstacles encountered in the practical application of autonomous driving or assisted driving functions.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, in step S5, the driver is only asked for the reason for the rejection if the rejection frequency for a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function reaches a predetermined frequency threshold and / or if the number of consecutive rejections for a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function reaches a predetermined number threshold. This avoids excessive disturbance to the driver.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment, the activation method may further include step S6, in which the driver's feedback type is recorded to analyze the frequency or number of times the driver rejects proactive inquiries regarding whether to activate a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function. The rejection frequency or the number of rejections can be used to adjust proactive inquiries for the specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment, in step S1, if the activation requirements corresponding to the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met, it is determined that the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an activatable state.

[0013] The activation requirements may include at least one of the following: Geographic area requirements, which require the vehicle to be located within a predetermined geographic area; The regulations require that autonomous driving or assisted driving functions meet legal and regulatory requirements. Weather and environmental requirements, which require that the current weather and / or illuminance meet the predetermined requirements; Road requirements stipulate that the road in which the vehicle is located must be of a predetermined road type. Traffic condition requirements, which include requirements for vehicle density, pedestrian activity and / or other road user behavior to meet predetermined requirements; Speed ​​requirements stipulate that the vehicle speed must be within a predetermined range. Load requirements, which require that the number, type, weight and / or size of the people and / or goods carried by the vehicle meet predetermined requirements; Vehicle status requirements, which require that the health condition or configuration of all components of the vehicle, particularly those related to autonomous or assisted driving functions, meet predetermined requirements; and Driver status requirements, which require that driving-related states meet predetermined requirements, wherein driving-related states may optionally include the driver's position and / or line of sight, etc.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment, in step S3, at least a portion of the activation requirements applicable in step S1 may be checked to determine whether the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met.

[0015] In one exemplary embodiment, in step S2, the driver may be actively asked via voice using a voice output device whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function. Alternatively or additionally, in step S2, feedback provided by the driver via voice may be received via a voice input device. This further reduces the need for driver attention during the activation of the autonomous driving or assisted driving function.

[0016] According to a second aspect of this application, a computer program product is provided, comprising computer program instructions, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by one or more processors, enable the one or more processors to perform the activation method according to this application.

[0017] According to a third aspect of this application, an activation device for autonomous driving or assisted driving functions is provided, wherein the activation device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing computer program instructions, and when the computer program instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is capable of executing the activation method according to this application.

[0020] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial technical effects of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an activation method for an autonomous driving or assisted driving function according to an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown schematically.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the activation method may include steps S1, S2 and S3.

[0023] In step S1, it is determined whether the vehicle's inactive autonomous driving or assisted driving functions are in an active state.

[0024] In step S2, when the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an active state, the system actively asks the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function and receives the driver's feedback.

[0025] In step S3, in response to the driver's positive feedback indicating consent to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function, it is checked whether the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met. If the activation conditions are not met, the driver is notified; if the activation conditions are met, the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is activated.

[0026] This activation method can safely and reliably assist and encourage drivers to activate autonomous or driver assistance functions.

[0027] As mentioned above, many users are unfamiliar with the autonomous driving or assisted driving functions of vehicles, resulting in a low activation frequency. In particular, different autonomous driving or assisted driving functions may have different activation conditions. Users find it difficult to grasp the activation conditions required for each function, increasing the difficulty for users to become proficient in using these functions. According to this application, by automatically identifying whether an autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an activatable state and proactively asking the driver whether to activate it, the system can remind the driver when they don't recall the function, reducing or eliminating the driver's need to determine whether the function can be activated. After receiving positive feedback from the driver, the system re-checks whether the activation conditions for the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met, thus improving safety.

[0028] The autonomous driving or assisted driving functions may include Level 2 or higher autonomous driving functions or assisted driving functions, especially Level 3 or higher autonomous driving functions.

[0029] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, in step S1, if the activation requirements corresponding to the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met, it can be determined that the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an activatable state.

[0030] The activation requirements may include, for example, at least one of the following: geographical area requirements, regulatory requirements, weather environment requirements, road requirements, traffic condition requirements, vehicle speed requirements, load requirements, vehicle status requirements, and driver status.

[0031] Geographic area requirements indicate that the vehicle must be located within a predetermined geographic area. Geographic areas can be categorized, for example, as urban areas, rural areas, or specific test areas. Autonomous driving or driver assistance functions can be configured to operate only within a specific geographic area.

[0032] The regulations require that autonomous driving or driver assistance functions meet legal and regulatory requirements.

[0033] Weather environment requirements indicate that the current weather and / or illuminance must meet predetermined requirements. The operation of autonomous driving or assisted driving functions may be affected by weather conditions and illuminance. For example, in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather conditions, vehicle sensors (such as cameras, radar, and lidar) may have difficulty accurately detecting the vehicle's surroundings, thus affecting the normal operation of autonomous driving or assisted driving functions. Therefore, the impact of weather conditions must be fully considered when activating autonomous driving or assisted driving functions. Similarly, illuminance can also affect the vehicle's perception of its surroundings.

[0034] Road requirements indicate that the road the vehicle is on must belong to a predetermined road type. Road types may include, for example, highways, ordinary roads, urban roads, rural roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. Different road types typically differ in traffic flow, road width, lane markings, traffic lights, etc. For example, when driving on highways or urban expressways, due to clear road markings, stable traffic flow, and higher speeds, autonomous driving or assisted driving functions are more likely to maintain stable operation. As an example, if the vehicle is driving on a rural road, it can be determined that the activation conditions for the automatic overtaking function are not met.

[0035] Traffic condition requirements indicate that the vehicle density, pedestrian activity, and / or other road user behavior on the road must meet predetermined requirements.

[0036] Speed ​​requirements indicate that the vehicle's speed must be within a predetermined range. For example, activation of some autonomous or assisted driving functions requires a speed exceeding a certain threshold, such as 30 km / h. This ensures that the vehicle is already in a relatively stable and fast driving state when the autonomous or assisted driving function is activated.

[0037] Load requirements indicate that the number, type, weight, and / or size of the people and / or goods carried by the vehicle must meet predetermined requirements.

[0038] Vehicle status requirements refer to the health status and configuration of various vehicle components, particularly those related to autonomous driving or driver assistance functions, which must meet predetermined requirements. Components related to autonomous driving or driver assistance functions may include, for example, the perception system, braking system, and / or steering system. For instance, activation of partial autonomous driving or driver assistance functions requires that the lights and wipers be set to automatic mode. This ensures that the vehicle can automatically adjust the lights and wipers after the autonomous driving or driver assistance functions are activated, improving the perception system's visibility of the surrounding environment.

[0039] Driver status requirements refer to the driver's position, line of sight, and other driving-related states meeting predetermined requirements. For example, for the activation of some autonomous or assisted driving functions, the driver needs to fasten their seatbelt and adjust their line of sight to a level where they can clearly see the road ahead. This ensures that the driver can control the vehicle at any time and guarantees safety.

[0040] Different activation requirements can be set for different autonomous driving or driver assistance functions. Activation requirements can be set based on the Design Operating Domain (ODD) considering the autonomous driving or driver assistance function.

[0041] If the activation requirements for the autonomous driving or assisted driving function can be fully met, the autonomous driving or assisted driving function can be identified as being in an active state, and steps S2 and S3 can be executed accordingly. Conversely, if the activation requirements for the autonomous driving or assisted driving function cannot be fully met, the autonomous driving or assisted driving function can be identified as not being in an active state, and steps S2 and S3 will not be executed accordingly.

[0042] Optionally, in step S3, if the activation requirements applicable in step S1 are met, it can be determined that the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are satisfied. In other words, in step S3, in response to the driver's positive feedback, the activation requirements applicable in step S1 are checked again to ensure that the autonomous driving or assisted driving function remains in an active state after interaction with the driver.

[0043] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, in step S3, a portion of the activation requirements applicable in step S1 can be checked to determine whether the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met. This reduces computational load, improves response speed, and also ensures safety. For example, if it has been determined in step S1 that weather and speed requirements for a certain autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met, the check for weather requirements can be omitted in step S3, but the check for speed requirements still needs to be performed.

[0044] The following is combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 Exemplary embodiments of this application are further described below. Figure 2 A structural block diagram of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown schematically. Figure 3 A partial view of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of this application is schematically shown. The vehicle is equipped with autonomous driving or driver assistance functions, such as automatic lane changing, lane centering, automatic parking, or adaptive cruise control.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the vehicle may include an activation device 1. The activation device 1 may be configured to enable the activation method according to the exemplary embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the features and advantages described herein with respect to the activation method also apply to the activation device 1, and vice versa.

[0046] Activation device 1 is implemented, for example, as an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle. Activation device 1 may include a memory and a processor. The memory stores computer program instructions that, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to perform, for example, an activation method for autonomous driving or driver assistance functions. The computer program product may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium may include, for example, high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory such as hard disks, RAM, plug-in hard disks, smart memory cards, secure digital cards, flash memory cards, at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices. The processor may be a central processing unit, or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), off-the-shelf programmable gate arrays (OPGs) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc.

[0047] The memory may also store, for example, the correspondence between autonomous driving or assisted driving functions and activation conditions.

[0048] The vehicle may also include a voice system 2 configured to interact with the driver via voice. The voice system 2 may include a voice output device 21 configured to play voice information. The voice system 2 may also include, for example, a voice input device 22, such as a microphone, capable of receiving voice commands issued by the user. The voice system 2 may be communicatively connected to the activation device 1. Thus, the voice system 2 can perform corresponding operations in response to commands from the activation device 1. Optionally, the activation device 1 may control the voice system 2 to play specific voice information. For example, voice information actively inquiring whether the driver has activated the autonomous driving or driver assistance functions may be played via the voice output device 21. The activation device 1 may also control the voice system 2 to keep it in an active state. Optionally, after playing the voice information actively inquiring whether the driver has activated the autonomous driving or driver assistance functions, the voice system 2 may be kept active to receive voice information issued by the driver via the voice input device 22, which may include affirmative and negative feedback.

[0049] In addition, the vehicle may include a display device 3. The active inquiry can be implemented by means of the display device 3, for example, by asking the driver on the display device 3 in text message whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function.

[0050] Driver feedback can also be provided in ways other than voice. For example, it can be provided by the driver pressing a button (virtual or physical) or by the driver's gesture commands.

[0051] The vehicle may also include a driving execution system 4, which can be configured to perform lateral and / or longitudinal control of the vehicle. The driving execution system 4 may include, for example, a power unit, transmission, steering system, tires, etc. The driving execution system 4 may be communicatively connected to the activation device 1, enabling the driving execution system 4 to perform corresponding driving operations in response to commands from the activation device 1.

[0052] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating an activation method for an autonomous driving or assisted driving function according to an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown schematically.

[0053] Figure 4 The activation method shown includes steps S1, S2 and S3.

[0054] As described above, in step S1, it is determined whether the vehicle's inactive autonomous driving or driver assistance functions are in an active state. For inactive autonomous driving or driver assistance functions, it can be periodically determined whether they are in an active state.

[0055] Then, in step S2, if the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is in an active state, the driver is proactively asked whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function, and the driver's feedback is received. For example, the driver can be proactively asked whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function via voice using a voice output device. Then, the driver's voice feedback can be received via a voice input device.

[0056] In step S3, in response to the driver's positive feedback indicating consent to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function, it is checked whether the activation conditions for activating the autonomous driving or assisted driving function are met. If the activation conditions are not met, the driver is notified; if the activation conditions are met, the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is activated.

[0057] Here, the driver can be notified of the inspection results via a voice output device or display device. If the activation conditions are not met, the driver can be informed of the reason for the failure. For example, the voice output device could announce, "The automatic lane change function cannot be activated because the vehicle speed is less than 70 km / h." This avoids driver confusion in the event of activation failure, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] exist Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the activation method may further include step S4. In step S4, in response to negative feedback from the driver indicating a refusal to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function, a silence period is set. During the silence period, actively asking the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is prohibited, or the frequency of actively asking the driver whether to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function is reduced. The silence period may be set as the operating cycle associated with the autonomous driving or assisted driving function. The silence period may also be set to have a specific duration. The driver's refusal to activate the autonomous driving or assisted driving function may be based on the driver's judgment of the driving environment and / or due to personal driving habits. By using a silence period, frequent inquiries about autonomous driving or assisted driving functions that the driver does not want to activate can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0059] Optionally, the activation method may further include step S5, in which, in response to the driver's negative feedback, the driver is asked for the reason for refusal, and the driver's response to the reason for refusal is recorded. The recorded driver's response to the reason for refusal may be provided to vehicle engineers for improving the design of autonomous driving or assisted driving functions. Optionally, the recorded driver's response to the reason for refusal may be used to adjust the active inquiry for the specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function, such as adjusting the activation requirements of the corresponding autonomous driving or assisted driving function and / or adjusting the frequency of active inquiry. This helps to identify and resolve obstacles encountered by autonomous driving or assisted driving functions in practical applications.

[0060] As an example, after proactively asking whether to activate the automatic parking function, if a negative response is received from the driver, the driver can be asked why they refused to activate the function. For example, the driver might reply via voice, "Too slow." This response can be recorded as audio data or text data generated after recognition. It can then be provided to vehicle engineers to improve the design of the automatic parking function. Alternatively, the driver might reply, "I'm familiar with this parking spot; I want to park manually." Based on this response, the frequency of proactively asking whether to activate the automatic parking function at the vehicle's current location can be reduced. Optionally, the activation requirements for the automatic parking function can be adjusted based on the response message, such as adding locations where activation is prohibited.

[0061] In step S5, the driver may be asked for the reason for the refusal only if the frequency of rejections for a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function reaches a predetermined frequency threshold and / or the number of consecutive rejections for a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function reaches a predetermined number threshold. For example, the driver may be asked for the reason for the refusal only if more than three negative responses are received from the driver in the last five proactive inquiries to activate the automatic overtaking function. This avoids excessive disturbance to the driver.

[0062] In this embodiment, the activation method may further include step S6. In step S6, the driver's feedback type is recorded to analyze the frequency or number of times the driver rejects proactive inquiries about whether to activate a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function. The rejection frequency or the number of rejections is used to adjust proactive inquiries for the specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function, for example, to adjust the activation requirements of the corresponding autonomous driving or assisted driving function and / or to adjust the frequency of proactive inquiries. When the frequency of the driver's rejection of proactive inquiries about whether to activate a specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function exceeds a preset threshold, the frequency of proactive inquiries about whether to activate the specific autonomous driving or assisted driving function can be reduced accordingly.

[0063] Although specific embodiments of this application are described in detail herein, they are given for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Various substitutions, modifications, and alterations can be conceived without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
