[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the application, and are not used to limit the application.

[0022] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the application, the following will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments in the specification.

[0023] The application obtains a power state of a vehicle and a state signal of a transmission mechanism, and determines an initial state of a gear position indicator according to the power state and the state signal; determines a gear position indication control logic according to the power state and the state signal; determines an intermediate state of the gear position indicator according to a gear shifting instruction of a knob when the gear shifting instruction is received; and determines a final state of the gear position indicator based on the gear position indication control logic and the initial state and the intermediate state.

[0024] At present, the gear shifting and indicator light strategy of the knob of a new energy vehicle is that the current state message of the transmission is automatically received after the knob is powered on, and the current gear position request is sent and the corresponding indicator light is turned on at any time after the message is passively received. When the knob actively shifts gears, the target gear position request is sent first, then the transmission response is waited for, and the target gear position indicator light is turned on until the current state message of the transmission is returned. However, this way will cause a response delay of the gear position indicator light, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, how to reduce the response delay of the gear position indicator light when the knob gear shifts, and improve the user experience, is still a problem to be solved.

[0025] The application controls the change of the gear position indicator light immediately after receiving the gear shifting instruction, and then adjusts the final state of the gear position indicator light according to whether the gear shifting is successful, thereby reducing the response delay of the gear position indicator light when the knob gear shifts, and improving the user experience.

[0026] Based on this, the application embodiment provides a vehicle knob gear position indication control method, which refers to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the vehicle knob gear position indication control method of the application.

[0027] In this embodiment, the vehicle knob gear position indication control method includes steps S10-S40: Step S10: obtaining a power state of a vehicle and a state signal of a transmission mechanism, and determining an initial state of a gear position indicator according to the power state and the state signal; It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device, a vehicle knob gear position indication control device, etc. capable of realizing the above functions. The following takes the vehicle knob gear position indication control device as an example to describe the embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that the power state of the vehicle refers to whether the engine of the vehicle is in a starting state or an off state. The transmission mechanism refers to the transmission of the vehicle, and the state signal of the transmission mechanism refers to the gear state information of the transmission.

[0029] In one feasible approach, the step of determining the initial state of the gear indicator light based on the power state and the state signal includes: determining whether a gear state signal from the transmission mechanism is received within a preset time; determining whether the engine is in a running or stalled state based on the power state; when the gear state signal is successfully received within the preset time and the engine is in a running state, determining the initial state of the gear indicator light based on the gear state signal; when the gear state signal is not received within the preset time, or when the gear state signal is successfully received within the preset time but the engine is in a stalled state, determining the preset default gear as the initial state of the gear indicator light.

[0030] It should be noted that the determination of whether a gear position status signal from the transmission mechanism is received within a preset time period is made, for example, whether gear position message data is received from the transmission within 1 second. If gear position message data is received from the transmission within 1 second and the engine is running, the gear position information in the gear position message data can be determined as the initial state of the gear position indicator light. If gear position message data is received from the transmission within 1 second, i.e., there is no feedback from the transmission, or if message data is received but the engine is off, the default gear is directly set, typically with neutral (N) gear determined as the initial state of the gear position indicator light.

[0031] Step S20: Determine the gear position indication control logic based on the power state and the state signal; It should be noted that the gear shifting method is different when the power state and the state signal are different, so the gear indication control logic can be determined first.

[0032] In one feasible approach, the step of determining the gear position indication control logic based on the power state and the state signal includes: determining whether a gear position status signal from the transmission mechanism is received within a preset time; determining whether the engine is in a running or stalled state based on the power state; when the gear position status signal is successfully received within the preset time and the engine is in a running state, determining the gear position indication control logic as the first logic; when the gear position status signal is not received within the preset time, or when the gear position status signal is successfully received within the preset time but the engine is in a stalled state, determining the gear position indication control logic as the second logic.

[0033] It's important to note that if the gear position message data from the transmission is received within one second, and the engine is running, the gear position indication control logic can be determined as the first logic. Since the engine is running, the gear position indication must ultimately match the actual gear position of the transmission. Therefore, the first logic can first determine the state of the gear position indicator based on the user's shift command, and then determine the final state of the gear position indicator based on the transmission's response. If the transmission's response matches the user's shift command, then for the user, the latency is significantly reduced.

[0034] If the gear position status signal is not received within the preset time, or if the gear position status signal is successfully received within the preset time but the engine is off, then the transmission response does not need to be considered, and the final gear position status signal is determined directly according to the user's instructions.

[0035] Step S30: After receiving the shift command from the knob, determine the intermediate state of the gear indicator light according to the shift command; It should be noted that the shift command of the knob is the gear that the user wants to switch to. However, since the gear position indicator must eventually match the actual gear of the transmission, the intermediate state of the gear position indicator can only be determined based on the shift command, and then the final state of the gear position indicator can be determined based on the actual gear of the transmission.

[0036] In one feasible approach, before the step of determining the intermediate state of the gear indicator light based on the gear shift command, the method further includes: calculating the rotation duration of the gear knob; when the rotation duration exceeds a preset rotation duration, the knob rotation operation is determined as a gear shift command. The step of determining the intermediate state of the gear indicator light based on the gear shift command after receiving the knob's gear shift command includes: determining the direction and amplitude of the knob rotation based on the gear shift command; calculating the target gear based on the direction and amplitude; and determining the intermediate state of the gear indicator light based on the target gear.

[0037] It should be noted that, in order to prevent accidental activation and incorrect gear shifting, the rotation time of the gear selector knob can be counted. Only when the rotation time exceeds the preset rotation time is the knob rotation operation considered a valid gear shift command.

[0038] Step S40: Determine the final state of the gear indicator light based on the gear position indication control logic, the initial state, and the intermediate state.

[0039] It should be noted that the initial state is the initial gear position when the vehicle is first powered on, and the intermediate state is the target gear position that the user wants to switch to. Since the gear position indicator must eventually match the actual gear position of the transmission, the final state of the gear position indicator also needs to be determined according to the control logic.

[0040] This embodiment acquires the vehicle's power status and transmission mechanism status signals, and determines the initial state of the gear indicator light based on the power status and the status signals; it then determines the gear indicator control logic based on the power status and the status signals; upon receiving a shift command from the rotary knob, it determines an intermediate state of the gear indicator light based on the shift command; finally, it determines the final state of the gear indicator light based on the gear indicator control logic, the initial state, and the intermediate state. This embodiment immediately controls the gear indicator light's change upon receiving a shift command, and then adjusts the final state of the gear indicator light based on whether the shift was successful, reducing the indicator light's response delay when shifting gears using the rotary knob and improving the user experience.

[0041] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 2 Step S40 also includes steps S401 to S402: Step S401: If the gear position indication control logic is the first logic, then a gear position request is sent to the transmission mechanism according to the intermediate state, and the final state of the gear position indicator is determined according to the feedback information of the transmission mechanism. It should be noted that when the gear position indicator control logic is in the first logic state, since the engine is running, the gear position indicator must eventually match the actual gear position of the transmission. Therefore, a secondary adjustment is required based on the actual gear position of the transmission to obtain the final state of the gear position indicator light.

[0042] In one feasible approach, the step of determining the final state of the gear indicator light based on the feedback information from the transmission mechanism includes: if no feedback information from the transmission mechanism is received within a preset time period, then the initial state is determined as the final state of the gear indicator light; if feedback information from the transmission mechanism is received within a preset time period, then the final state of the gear indicator light is determined based on the feedback information.

[0043] It should be noted that if no feedback information is received from the transmission mechanism within the preset time, it indicates a gear shift failure, and the gear indicator light needs to be returned to its initial state. If feedback information is received from the transmission mechanism, the final state of the gear indicator light needs to be adjusted according to the feedback information.

[0044] Step S402: If the gear position indicator control logic is the second logic, then the intermediate state is determined as the final state of the gear position indicator light.

[0045] It should be noted that if the gear position indication control logic is the second logic, since the engine is off, there is no need to pay attention to the gear position of the transmission. The gear position required by the user, i.e. the intermediate state, can be directly used as the final state.

[0046] In this embodiment, if the gear position indicator control logic is the first logic, the intermediate state of the gear position indicator is determined according to the shift command, and the final state of the gear position indicator is determined according to the feedback information from the transmission mechanism; if the gear position indicator control logic is the second logic, the intermediate state is determined as the final state of the gear position indicator. This embodiment selects different processing measures under different conditions, ensuring that the gear position indicator can respond to the user's shift command first in both engine start and stop states, reducing the response delay of the indicator when shifting gears with a rotary knob, and improving the user experience.

[0047] For example, to help understand the implementation flow of the vehicle rotary gear position indicator control method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above embodiment one, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 A simplified flowchart of a vehicle rotary gear selector indicator control method is provided. Specifically: When the vehicle is powered on, it checks whether it receives transmission gear position information within 1 second. If not, the neutral (N) indicator light is illuminated and an N gear request is sent. Then, when the knob is turned, a shift command is received, and the target gear indicator light is illuminated according to the shift command. If the neutral (N) indicator light is received, it is necessary to determine whether the engine is running. If the engine is running, the gear position indicator light is illuminated according to the transmission gear. Then, when the knob is turned, a shift command is received, and the gear position indicator light is illuminated according to the shift command, and a gear position request is sent to the transmission. The current gear position indicator light is then adjusted based on feedback information from the transmission. If the engine is not running, the neutral (N) indicator light is illuminated and an N gear request is sent. Then, when the knob is turned, a shift command is received, and the target gear indicator light is illuminated according to the shift command.

[0048] It should be noted that the above examples are only for understanding this application and do not constitute a limitation on the vehicle rotary gear indicator control method of this application. Any simple modifications based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of this application.

The decision module 40 is used to determine the final state of the gear indicator light based on the gear position indication control logic, the initial state, and the intermediate state.

[0050] This embodiment acquires the vehicle's power status and transmission mechanism status signals, and determines the initial state of the gear indicator light based on the power status and the status signals; it then determines the gear indicator control logic based on the power status and the status signals; upon receiving a shift command from the rotary knob, it determines an intermediate state of the gear indicator light based on the shift command; finally, it determines the final state of the gear indicator light based on the gear indicator control logic, the initial state, and the intermediate state. This embodiment immediately controls the gear indicator light's change upon receiving a shift command, and then adjusts the final state of the gear indicator light based on whether the shift was successful, reducing the indicator light's response delay when shifting gears using the rotary knob and improving the user experience.
