Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an in-vehicle biological monitoring system, vehicle, and method. Background Technology

[0002] To address the deadly risks posed by living beings being left behind in enclosed vehicles, various in-vehicle biological monitoring technologies have emerged.

[0003] Among the related technologies, the main methods for detecting biological remains are infrared sensors, seat sensors, millimeter-wave radar, or in-cabin cameras.

[0004] However, the temperature generated by a vehicle under direct sunlight is often higher than human body temperature. In this case, infrared sensors cannot accurately determine whether a passenger is inside the vehicle, which can lead to misjudgments. Occupancy sensors can detect weights from both living and non-living objects. If a non-living object occupies a seat, it can lead to a misjudgment that a passenger is sitting in the seat. Millimeter-wave radar has problems such as difficulty in identifying static targets and the signal being easily drowned out by system noise. Direct sunlight can cause overexposure of the cabin cameras, and high humidity may degrade circuit performance, leading to abnormal signal transmission. These issues urgently need to be addressed.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an in-vehicle biological monitoring system, vehicle, and method according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the issues of misjudgment and missed detection in in-vehicle biological monitoring due to the use of single sensors in related technologies mentioned in the background, this application provides an in-vehicle biological monitoring system. In this embodiment, a sensing module generates first biological information based on in-vehicle images, second biological information based on seat monitoring information, and third biological information based on in-vehicle infrared sensing information. The central control unit determines the presence of a living being in the vehicle based on the first, second, and third biological information. If the vehicle meets preset alarm conditions, an alarm is generated and sent to a cloud platform. The cloud platform sends the alarm information to a preset mobile terminal and receives remote control commands from the preset mobile terminal, which are then sent to the central control unit. This allows the central control unit to control the vehicle to perform corresponding actions based on the remote control commands. This solves the problems of misjudgment and missed detection in in-vehicle biological monitoring caused by the use of single sensors in related technologies, preventing the fatal risk of a living being trapped inside the vehicle.

[0021] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an in-vehicle biological monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the in-vehicle biological monitoring system 10 includes: a sensing module 100, a central control unit 200, and a cloud platform 300.

[0023] The perception module 100 is used to generate first life form information based on in-vehicle images, second life form information based on seat monitoring information, and third life form information based on in-vehicle infrared sensing information. The central control unit 200 is used to determine the presence of a living being in the vehicle based on the information of the first living being, the information of the second living being, and the information of the third living being. If the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions, it generates an alarm message and sends the alarm message to the cloud platform 300. The cloud platform 300 is used to send alarm information to a preset mobile terminal and receive remote control commands sent by the preset mobile terminal to the central control unit 200, so that the central control unit 200 controls the vehicle to perform corresponding actions based on the remote control commands.

[0024] It is understood that the perception module 100 in this embodiment generates first life information based on visual images, second life information based on seat status and vital signs, and third life information based on infrared sensing information. The central control unit 200, as the decision-making center of the system, integrates an in-vehicle infotainment controller (IVI, including operating system and control algorithm) and a telematics box (TBOX), undertaking the functions of information analysis, processing, and control. It performs fusion analysis on these three types of life information from different sources. When it is comprehensively determined that a life exists and the vehicle status meets the preset alarm conditions, an alarm message is generated and uploaded to the cloud platform 300. The cloud platform 300 acts as a remote communication hub, connecting the central control unit 200 and the mobile APP (mobile terminal) to transmit control commands between the two parties. On the one hand, it pushes the alarm message to the mobile terminal bound to the vehicle owner in real time. On the other hand, it receives and forwards the remote control commands issued by the user through the mobile terminal. After the central control unit 200 executes the command, it can realize remote control of the vehicle, thereby constructing a complete safety protection closed loop from accurate detection, intelligent judgment to remote intervention.

[0025] Optionally, in some embodiments, the in-vehicle biological monitoring system 10 further includes: an alarm module for performing acoustic and / or optical alarms; and a body controller connected to the alarm module for receiving alarm information and controlling the alarm module to perform acoustic and / or optical alarms according to the alarm information.

[0026] Understandably, the alarm module includes a mobile app, a horn, and headlights. It is responsible for receiving and executing control commands from the central control unit 200. The mobile app receives in-vehicle biological reminder information sent by the central control unit 200 through the cloud platform 300, and then transmits the control commands from the mobile app to the central control unit 200 to execute the corresponding instructions (such as turning on the air conditioner). The control commands are then sent to the horn and headlights through the body controller to flash the lights and sound the horn to alert that someone has been forgotten in the vehicle.

[0027] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sensing module 100100 includes an image acquisition unit, a seat monitoring unit, and an in-cabin infrared detection unit. The image acquisition unit is used to acquire in-vehicle images and generate first life information based on the in-vehicle images. The seat monitoring unit is used to obtain seat monitoring information based on the acquisition results of pressure sensors and millimeter-wave radar and generate second life information based on the seat monitoring information. The in-cabin infrared detection unit is used to acquire in-vehicle infrared sensing information and generate third life information based on the in-vehicle infrared sensing information.

[0028] Understandably, the in-cabin camera module (image acquisition unit) monitors and analyzes the behavior of living beings inside the vehicle, generating information about the first living being; the seat monitoring module (seat monitoring unit) integrates pressure sensors and millimeter-wave radar to simultaneously monitor seat occupancy and detect vital signs (such as respiratory rate) of living beings, generating information about the second living being; and the in-cabin infrared detection module (in-cabin infrared detection unit) detects the temperature distribution of living beings inside the cabin, identifies children or pets left behind, and generates information about the third living being. Optionally, in some embodiments, the preset alarm conditions are: the vehicle is in a turned-off state; and / or, the driver's seat of the vehicle is unoccupied; and / or, the driver's side door of the vehicle is closed; and / or, the vehicle speed is zero; and / or, the vehicle is in P gear; and / or, the vehicle door moves from open to closed.

[0029] Understandably, after the user turns off the engine, the central control unit 200 determines the preset alarm conditions for the function to be executed, including the vehicle speed being zero, the vehicle being in P gear, no one being in the driver's seat, and the door being opened and closed. If all of the above conditions are met, the central control unit 200 determines whether the image acquisition unit, seat monitoring unit, and cabin infrared detection unit have all reported the presence of a living being left in the vehicle. If all three modules report the presence of a living being left in the vehicle, an alarm is triggered.

[0030] To facilitate a better understanding of the in-vehicle biological monitoring system of this application embodiment by those skilled in the art, the following is combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments shown will be described in detail.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of an in-vehicle biological monitoring system according to one embodiment of this application. This embodiment comprises a central control unit 200, a body controller assembly, an in-cabin camera module, a seat monitoring module, an in-cabin infrared detection module, a cloud platform 300, and an alarm module. The central control unit 200 integrates an infotainment controller and a remote communication terminal. It receives information about the presence of a living being in the vehicle reported by the in-cabin camera, infrared detection module, and seat monitoring module. After analysis and processing, it issues control commands, including sending a text message to the vehicle owner's mobile app via the cloud platform 300, prompting "Someone has been forgotten in the vehicle; please return to the vehicle to unlock it as soon as possible." The body controller (BCM) also sends control commands to the horn and headlights to flash lights and sound the horn to alert the vehicle owner that someone has been forgotten in the vehicle. The cloud platform 300 coordinates the data interaction between the central control unit 200 and the mobile app. The mobile app receives alarm text messages through the cloud platform 300 and sends control commands back to the central control unit 200. The in-cabin camera module, infrared detection module, and seat monitoring module are responsible for detecting living beings inside the vehicle and reporting the information to the central control unit 200; the body controller is responsible for receiving instructions from the central control unit 200 and controlling the headlights and horn; the headlights and horn execute the control requests from the body controller to flash the lights and sound the horn.

[0032] Therefore, the embodiments of this application are based on multimodal fusion to comprehensively judge the residual information of living beings reported by the in-cabin camera module, seat monitoring module, and in-cabin infrared detection module.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the judgment function execution of an in-vehicle biological monitoring system according to one embodiment of this application. The preconditions for the central control unit's judgment function execution after the user turns off the engine include: vehicle speed is zero, gear is in P (Park), no one is in the driver's seat, and the door has been opened and closed. If all these preconditions are met, the central control unit determines whether the cabin camera module, seat monitoring module, and infrared detection module have all reported the presence of a living being left in the vehicle. If all three modules report the presence of a living being left in the vehicle, an alarm is triggered. This includes the central control unit sending an alarm SMS to the owner's mobile app via a cloud platform, prompting "Someone has been forgotten in the vehicle; please return to the vehicle to unlock it as soon as possible." The central control unit also controls the vehicle lights and horn to activate the "flashing lights and horn" alarm via the body control module (BCM).

[0034] Therefore, this embodiment of the application, through vehicle operating status judgment, in-vehicle life monitoring and alarm, when the central control unit receives the vehicle's engine shutdown signal, driver's departure signal and driver's door closing signal, if the cabin camera module detects the presence of a life form in the vehicle, it reports the life form presence signal to the central control unit. The central control unit receives the life form presence signal and issues an alarm reminder to indicate that a life form is present in the vehicle when the engine is off and the door is closed. This embodiment of the application, through multimodal fusion of in-vehicle life monitoring, solves the problems of singleness and misjudgment in traditional monitoring, and avoids the fatal risks such as heatstroke caused by organisms being trapped in the vehicle.

[0035] According to the in-vehicle biological monitoring system proposed in this application, the system generates first life form information based on in-vehicle images, second life form information based on seat monitoring information, and third life form information based on in-vehicle infrared sensor information through a sensing module. The central control unit determines the presence of a living being in the vehicle based on the first, second, and third life form information. If the vehicle meets preset alarm conditions, an alarm is generated and sent to a cloud platform. The cloud platform sends the alarm information to a preset mobile terminal and receives remote control commands from the preset mobile terminal, which are then sent to the central control unit. This allows the central control unit to control the vehicle to perform corresponding actions based on the remote control commands. This solves the problems of misjudgment and missed detection caused by the single sensor in in-vehicle life form monitoring in related technologies, and avoids the fatal risk of a living being trapped inside the vehicle.

[0036] Next, the in-vehicle biological monitoring method proposed according to the embodiments of this application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an in-vehicle biological monitoring method according to an embodiment of this application.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the method is applied to an in-vehicle biological monitoring system as described above, wherein the in-vehicle biological monitoring method includes the following steps: In step S401, the sensing module generates first life form information based on in-vehicle images, second life form information based on seat monitoring information, and third life form information based on in-vehicle infrared sensing information. In step S402, if the central control unit determines that there is a living being in the vehicle based on the information of the first living being, the information of the second living being, and the information of the third living being, and if the vehicle meets the preset alarm conditions, an alarm message is generated and sent to the cloud platform.

[0039] In step S403, the cloud platform sends alarm information to a preset mobile terminal and receives remote control commands sent by the preset mobile terminal to the central control unit, so that the central control unit controls the vehicle to perform corresponding actions based on the remote control commands.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further includes: performing acoustic and / or optical alarms via an alarm module; receiving alarm information via a vehicle body controller and controlling the alarm module to perform acoustic and / or optical alarms based on the alarm information.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sensing module generates first life form information based on in-vehicle images, second life form information based on seat monitoring information, and third life form information based on in-vehicle infrared sensing information.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the vehicle meets preset alarm conditions, an alarm message is generated and sent to the cloud platform, including: responding to the alarm message through the vehicle-side alarm unit and controlling the vehicle to flash lights and / or sound the horn based on the body controller.

The central control unit determines the presence of a living being in the vehicle based on the first, second, and third life form information. If the vehicle meets preset alarm conditions, an alarm is generated and sent to a cloud platform. The cloud platform sends the alarm information to a preset mobile terminal and receives remote control commands from the preset mobile terminal, which are then sent to the central control unit. This allows the central control unit to control the vehicle to perform corresponding actions based on the remote control commands. This solves the problems of misjudgment and missed detection caused by the single sensor in in-vehicle life form monitoring in related technologies, and avoids the fatal risk of a living being trapped inside the vehicle.
