Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle control method, a computer-readable storage medium, a vehicle, and a vehicle control device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional automotive human-machine interface design, the functions and operating positions of turn signals (usually controlled by a stalk on the left side of the steering wheel) and horn (usually triggered by an airbag cover or button in the center of the steering wheel) are fixed and independent. This design works fine in normal driving scenarios, but it exposes significant operational shortcomings when maneuvering at low speeds in extremely confined environments (such as dense parking lots or old residential alleyways). For example, it increases the workload: the driver needs to frequently switch between the two operations in a very short time, using the turn signals to indicate direction (e.g., left or right turn) and honking the horn to warn of pedestrians or vehicles that may suddenly appear. Alternatively, it involves frequent hand movements: the driver's hands need to move rapidly between the steering wheel and the horn button, increasing the workload and potentially leading to operational errors due to haste in stressful situations, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, the first objective of this application is to propose a vehicle control method that, by acquiring the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency, determines that the vehicle is in a target relocation mode based on the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency.

[0026] 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.

[0027] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a vehicle control method, a computer-readable storage medium, a vehicle, and a vehicle control device according to embodiments of this application.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to an embodiment of this application.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control method of this application embodiment may include the following steps: S1, obtain the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency.

[0030] S2 determines whether the vehicle is in the target relocation mode based on vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency.

[0031] In S3, under target relocation mode, the vehicle's warning functions are mapped to the function buttons on the steering wheel.

[0032] Specifically, during vehicle operation, the system acquires vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency. For example, a vehicle speed sensor can be used to obtain real-time vehicle speed. This sensor can be mounted on the driveshaft or wheels to accurately measure the vehicle's real-time speed and transmit the speed signal to the vehicle's central controller or relevant control unit. A gear position sensor can monitor changes in the vehicle's gear position; it detects the vehicle's current gear (e.g., drive, reverse, neutral) and records the number of gear shifts and the time intervals between them. This data allows for the calculation of the gear shifting frequency. Thus, real-time and accurate acquisition of vehicle speed and gear shifting information provides reliable data support for subsequent scenario analysis, laying the foundation for intelligent recognition of low-speed maneuvering scenarios and ensuring that the vehicle activates the appropriate functions at the correct time and in the correct context.

[0033] After obtaining the vehicle's speed and gear shifting frequency, the system can determine whether the vehicle is in target maneuvering mode based on these parameters. It's important to note that target maneuvering mode is an intelligently recognized and automatically activated driving mode designed to describe scenarios involving low-speed, frequent vehicle movement. Activation of this mode is based on specific conditions and aims to optimize the driver's experience in these specific scenarios, improving operational efficiency and safety. This mode typically occurs in scenarios such as: narrow parking lots where vehicles need to frequently move between narrow parking spaces to find a suitable spot; old residential alleyways where narrow roads require vehicles to frequently reverse and move forward to avoid obstacles or pedestrians; and loading / unloading scenarios where vehicles need to frequently move between loading and unloading locations.

[0034] For example, a pre-defined relationship can be used to determine whether a vehicle is in a target relocation mode. This could be achieved by pre-determining the relationship between vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency and the target relocation mode. Once the speed and shifting frequency are determined, the relationship can be directly invoked to determine if the vehicle is in the target mode. Alternatively, the speed and shifting frequency can be compared to preset values. If the speed is below a set speed threshold and the shifting frequency is above a set frequency threshold, the vehicle is determined to be in the target relocation mode, i.e., a low-speed, frequent relocation scenario. This allows for automatic and accurate identification of low-speed relocation scenarios without requiring manual mode switching by the driver. This improves the system's intelligence and user experience, ensuring that the function switching mode is activated only in specific low-speed relocation scenarios, preventing accidental triggering in other driving scenarios, and guaranteeing the system's safety and reliability.

[0035] In target-oriented vehicle relocation mode, vehicle warning functions can be mapped to steering wheel function buttons. These warning functions include, but are not limited to, horn activation, turn signal activation, and hazard warning lights. For example, the steering wheel function buttons can be physically connected (e.g., capacitive or mechanical switches) to the vehicle's controller (e.g., central domain controller or intelligent driving domain controller). The controller can then connect to the corresponding control module for the warning function via an in-vehicle Ethernet or CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. Upon receiving the signal from the steering wheel function buttons, the controller determines whether the vehicle is in low-speed relocation mode. If so, the controller forwards the signal from the steering wheel function buttons to the corresponding control module for the warning function, triggering it. In other words, mapping the vehicle's warning functions from their original location to the steering wheel function buttons eliminates the need for frequent hand movements to operate the original warning function buttons during low-speed relocation. Drivers can simply use the steering wheel buttons, significantly reducing workload and improving convenience and efficiency. It also reduces the driver's hand movements and attention distractions during operation, lowers safety hazards caused by operational errors, and improves driving safety in low-speed vehicle maneuvering scenarios.

[0036] Therefore, through the above three steps, this application realizes the temporary remapping of the warning function to the multi-function button on the steering wheel in low-speed vehicle maneuvering scenarios, effectively solving the problems of high operational load and safety hazards in traditional operation methods when maneuvering vehicles at low speeds, and improving the convenience of operation and driving safety.

[0037] According to one embodiment of this application, determining that a vehicle is in a target relocation mode based on vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency includes: determining that the vehicle is in the target relocation mode when the vehicle speed is less than a first preset vehicle speed threshold for a first preset time, and the gear shifting frequency is greater than a preset gear shifting frequency threshold. The first preset vehicle speed threshold, the first preset time, and the preset shifting frequency can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0038] Specifically, when determining that a vehicle is in the target relocation mode based on its speed and gear shifting frequency, the system assesses the relationship between the vehicle speed and a first preset speed threshold, and the relationship between the gear shifting frequency and a preset gear shifting frequency threshold. If the vehicle speed is lower than the first preset speed threshold, it further determines whether this condition persists for a first preset time. If the vehicle speed is lower than the first preset speed threshold for a sustained first preset time, and the gear shifting frequency is higher than the preset gear shifting frequency threshold, the vehicle is confirmed to be in the target relocation mode. The first preset speed threshold is a set speed value used to determine if the vehicle is in a low-speed driving state. When the vehicle's real-time speed is consistently lower than this preset speed threshold, it is considered that the vehicle may be in a low-speed relocation scenario. For example, if the first preset speed threshold is set to 3 km / h, and the vehicle's real-time speed is consistently lower than 3 km / h, it is considered that the vehicle may be performing a low-speed relocation operation. The first preset time is a set time period used to determine whether the state of the vehicle speed being lower than the first preset speed threshold has persisted for a certain period of time. This time setting is to avoid misjudging a vehicle's low-speed maneuvering scenario due to brief periods of low speed. Let's assume the first preset time is set to 5 seconds. If the vehicle's speed remains below 3 km / h for 5 seconds or more, it will be further investigated whether the vehicle is in a low-speed maneuvering scenario. The preset gear shifting frequency threshold is a set frequency value used to determine if the vehicle's gear shifting is frequent. When the number of gear shifts exceeds this threshold within a set time, the vehicle is considered to be in a frequent maneuvering state. Let's assume the preset gear shifting frequency threshold is set to 2 gear shifts within 30 seconds. If the vehicle shifts between R and D gears more than twice within 30 seconds, it will be considered to be in a frequent maneuvering state. Therefore, by setting the first preset speed threshold and the first preset time, it is possible to accurately determine whether the vehicle is in a low-speed driving state, avoiding misjudgments due to brief periods of low speed. At the same time, by setting the preset gear shifting frequency threshold, it is possible to further confirm whether the vehicle is in a frequent maneuvering state, ensuring that the function interchange mode is only activated in specific low-speed maneuvering scenarios.

[0039] For example, in a parking lot, a vehicle needs to frequently reverse and move forward to find a parking space. The vehicle speed sensor detects that the vehicle's real-time speed is consistently below 3 km / h, and a timer confirms that this speed-below-3 km / h state has lasted for more than 5 seconds. Furthermore, the gear position sensor records that the vehicle's gear shifted between R (reverse) and D (drive) three times within 30 seconds. Based on this monitoring data, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a low-speed maneuvering scenario, and the target maneuvering mode is automatically activated.

[0040] This allows for accurate identification of low-speed vehicle relocation scenarios and automatic activation of the target vehicle relocation mode, significantly improving driver convenience and driving safety.

[0041] According to one embodiment of this application, the warning function includes a horn function and a turn signal function. Mapping the vehicle's warning functions to function buttons on the steering wheel includes: mapping the horn function to function buttons on a first side of the steering wheel; and mapping the turn signal function to function buttons on a second side of the steering wheel, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the steering wheel.

[0042] Specifically, warning functions refer to features used by a vehicle to alert other road users (such as pedestrians and other vehicles) while driving. These can include horn and turn signal functions. The horn function uses the vehicle's horn to emit an audible signal to alert nearby pedestrians or vehicles. The turn signal function uses the vehicle's turn lights to indicate the vehicle's direction of travel (left or right turn). When mapping the vehicle's warning functions to steering wheel buttons, the horn function can be mapped to the buttons on the first side of the steering wheel, and the turn signal function to the buttons on the second side. The first and second sides are opposite sides of the steering wheel. That is, the first side of the steering wheel refers to one side of the steering wheel, which can be the right side, and the function buttons are the buttons on the steering wheel used to control certain vehicle functions. For example, the function buttons on the first side of the steering wheel could be the multi-function buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, such as the volume "+" button, the voice assistant button, or a custom button. The second side of the steering wheel refers to the other side of the steering wheel; if the first side is the right side, the second side can be the left side. This means the function buttons on the second side of the steering wheel can be the same as the multi-function buttons on the left side, such as the volume "-" button, the voice assistant button, or a custom button. Additionally, if the first side of the steering wheel is the left side, the second side is the right side.

[0043] For example, in a parking lot, a vehicle needs to frequently reverse and move forward to find a parking space. The vehicle speed sensor detects that the vehicle's real-time speed is consistently below 3 km / h, and a timer confirms that this speed has remained below 3 km / h for more than 5 seconds. Furthermore, the gear position sensor records that the vehicle's gear shifted between R (reverse) and D (drive) three times within 30 seconds. Based on this monitoring data, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a low-speed maneuvering scenario, automatically activating the target maneuvering mode. In target maneuvering mode, the horn activation function can be temporarily remapped from the physical button in the center of the steering wheel to the multi-function buttons on the right side of the steering wheel (such as the voice assistant button), and the turn signal activation function can be temporarily remapped from the stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the multi-function buttons on the left side of the steering wheel (such as the volume "+" and volume "-" buttons). It should be noted that turn signals are generally divided into left turn and right turn signals. You can use two function buttons to act as the left turn signal and the right turn signal respectively, such as using the volume "+" button as the left turn signal and the volume "-" button as the right turn signal. Alternatively, you can use one function button to act as the turn signal. For example, clicking it once will act as the left turn signal, and clicking it twice will act as the right turn signal. In other words, the horn and turn functions corresponding to each function button can be preset based on user customization, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Therefore, by mapping the horn and turn signal functions to the function buttons on both sides of the steering wheel, the driver does not need to frequently move their hands to operate the horn and turn signals when maneuvering at low speeds. They can simply use simple button operations on the steering wheel to complete the warning and turn signal instructions. This reduces the driver's hand movements and attention distraction during operation, lowers the safety hazards caused by operational errors, and improves driving safety in low-speed maneuvering scenarios.

[0045] According to one embodiment of this application, the warning function includes a horn function and a turn signal function. Mapping the vehicle's warning functions to function buttons on the steering wheel includes mapping the horn function and the turn signal function to different function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel.

[0046] Specifically, warning functions refer to features used by a vehicle to alert other road users (such as pedestrians and other vehicles) while it is in motion. These may include horn and turn signal functions. The horn function uses the vehicle's horn to emit an audible signal to alert nearby pedestrians or vehicles. The turn signal function uses the vehicle's turn lights to indicate the vehicle's direction of travel (left or right turn). When mapping the vehicle's warning functions to steering wheel buttons, the horn and turn signal functions can be mapped to different buttons on the same side of the steering wheel. Different function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel refer to multiple function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel that can be remapped to perform different functions.

[0047] For example, the right side of the steering wheel has multiple function buttons, such as the volume "+" button, the voice assistant button, and a custom button. The horn function can be mapped to the voice assistant button, and the turn signal function can be mapped to the volume "+" and volume "-" buttons. By mapping the horn and turn signal functions to different function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel, the driver does not need to frequently move their hands to operate the horn and turn signals when maneuvering at low speeds. Simple button operations on the steering wheel are sufficient to provide warnings and turn signals.

[0048] For example, the left side of the steering wheel has multiple function buttons. These buttons might initially function as speed "+" or "-" buttons during intelligent driving, an autopilot activation button, or custom buttons. The horn function can be mapped to the autopilot activation button, and the turn signal function to the speed "+" and "-" buttons. By mapping the horn and turn signal functions to different function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel, the driver doesn't need to frequently move their hands to operate the horn and turn signals when maneuvering at low speeds. Simple button operations on the steering wheel are sufficient to provide warnings and turn signals.

[0049] Therefore, by mapping the horn and turn signal functions to different function buttons on the same side of the steering wheel, the driver can operate the vehicle without taking their hands off the steering wheel in low-speed maneuvering scenarios, significantly improving the convenience of operation and driving safety.

[0050] According to one embodiment of this application, the vehicle control method further includes: responding to a horn command and / or a turn signal command when the original functional component corresponding to the horn function and / or the turn signal function is triggered, wherein the original functional component includes a button corresponding to the horn function and a lever corresponding to the turn signal function.

[0051] Specifically, the original functional components refer to the physical buttons or levers on the vehicle originally used to activate the horn and turn signal functions. The horn button is typically located in the center of the steering wheel and is used to activate the horn, while the turn signal lever is typically located on the left side of the steering wheel and is used to activate the turn signal. "Activated" means that the driver has operated the original functional components, i.e., pressed the horn button in the center of the steering wheel to activate the horn function, or moved the turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the turn signal function.

[0052] Therefore, when the original functional components corresponding to the horn or turn signal functions are triggered, the system can respond to either the horn or turn signal command. Alternatively, when the original functional components corresponding to both the horn and turn signal functions are triggered simultaneously, the system can respond to both the horn and turn signal commands. In other words, responding to a horn or turn signal command means that after the system detects that the original functional component has been triggered, it executes the corresponding horn or turn signal operation. Specifically, when the driver presses the horn button, the horn emits an audible signal in response to the horn command; when the driver moves the turn signal stalk, the turn signal emits a light signal in response to the turn signal command.

[0053] Therefore, even in low-speed maneuvering mode, while the horn and turn signal functions are remapped to the steering wheel buttons, the original functional components (horn button and turn signal stalk) remain active. This means the driver can choose to use the remapped function buttons or continue using the original components. For example, in low-speed maneuvering mode, the driver can either briefly press the function button on the right side of the steering wheel to honk the horn or press the horn button in the center of the steering wheel. Similarly, the driver can either briefly press the function button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the turn signal or toggle the turn signal stalk.

[0054] This provides multiple operating methods, increasing operational flexibility. Drivers can choose the most convenient method based on personal habits or specific scenarios. By retaining the functionality of the original functional components, even in low-speed maneuvering mode, drivers can still choose to use the remapped function buttons or the original functional components. This design not only improves operational flexibility but also enhances the system's fault tolerance, ensuring operational accuracy and safety.

[0055] According to one embodiment of this application, the vehicle control method further includes: determining that the vehicle is not in a target relocation mode when the vehicle speed exceeds a second preset speed threshold for a second preset time, or in response to a target exit command. The second preset speed threshold and the second preset time can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0056] Specifically, the second preset speed threshold is a set speed value used to determine whether the vehicle has left the low-speed maneuvering scenario and entered normal driving mode. When the vehicle's real-time speed continuously exceeds this threshold, it is considered that the vehicle is no longer in low-speed maneuvering mode. For example, if the second preset speed threshold is set to 5 km / h, and the vehicle's real-time speed continuously exceeds 5 km / h, it will be considered that the vehicle has left the low-speed maneuvering scenario. The second preset time is a set time period used to determine whether the state of exceeding the second preset speed threshold has lasted for a certain period of time. This time setting is to avoid misjudging that the vehicle has left the low-speed maneuvering scenario due to a brief period of high speed. For example, if the second preset time is set to 10 seconds, if the vehicle's speed continuously exceeds 5 km / h for 10 seconds or more, it will be confirmed that the vehicle has entered normal driving mode and is no longer in low-speed maneuvering mode. Therefore, the relationship between the vehicle speed and the second preset vehicle speed threshold can be determined. If the vehicle speed is greater than the second preset vehicle speed threshold, the duration of the vehicle speed being greater than the second preset vehicle speed threshold can be determined. After the second preset time has elapsed, it can be determined that the vehicle is not in the target vehicle relocation mode.

[0057] Therefore, by setting a second preset speed threshold and a second preset time, it is possible to accurately determine whether the vehicle has left the low-speed maneuvering scenario and entered normal driving mode. This avoids misjudging that the vehicle is still in low-speed maneuvering mode due to brief periods of high-speed driving. For example, in a parking lot, after a vehicle has been maneuvered at low speed, the driver accelerates out of the parking lot. If the speed sensor detects that the vehicle speed has continuously exceeded 5 km / h for more than 10 seconds, it can accurately identify that the vehicle has entered normal driving mode and automatically exit the low-speed maneuvering mode. By automatically monitoring the vehicle speed and duration, it automatically determines whether to exit the low-speed maneuvering mode without requiring manual switching by the driver, improving the system's intelligence and user experience.

[0058] Alternatively, responding to a target exit command confirms that the vehicle is not in target maneuvering mode. The target exit command refers to the driver manually exiting low-speed maneuvering mode via a specific operation (such as clicking a button on the central control screen or pressing and holding a button on the steering wheel). For example, the driver can manually exit low-speed maneuvering mode (target maneuvering mode) by clicking the "Exit Target Maneuvering Mode" button on the central control screen, or by pressing and holding a multi-function button on the steering wheel for a set time (such as 3 seconds). Therefore, in low-speed maneuvering mode, drivers may habitually use the function buttons on the steering wheel for operation. When the vehicle returns to normal driving mode, the original function mapping can be manually restored to ensure that the driver does not cause safety issues due to accidental operation.

[0059] Therefore, by setting a second preset speed threshold and a second preset time, it is possible to accurately determine whether the vehicle has left the low-speed maneuvering scenario and entered normal driving mode. Simultaneously, it supports manual exit commands, ensuring that the driver can manually exit the low-speed maneuvering mode according to the actual situation. This design not only improves the system's intelligence and user experience but also enhances driving safety, ensuring that the vehicle maintains correct functional mapping under different driving conditions.

[0060] According to one embodiment of this application, the vehicle control method further includes: displaying a target vehicle relocation mode based on a preset reminder method, and displaying instructions for the steering wheel buttons, wherein the preset reminder method includes at least one of text display and icon display.

[0061] Specifically, when in target maneuvering mode, the system can display a preset reminder method to indicate that the vehicle is in target maneuvering mode, along with instructions for the steering wheel buttons. The preset reminder method refers to a pre-set mechanism by the vehicle system to alert the driver that the vehicle is currently in target maneuvering mode. This method can include text display, icon display, or a combination of both. Text display involves showing text information on the central control screen or instrument panel, such as "Low-speed maneuvering mode activated." Icon display involves showing icon information on the central control screen or instrument panel, such as a specific maneuvering mode icon. For example, the central control screen could display "Low-speed maneuvering mode activated, short press of the volume '+' button on the right side of the steering wheel to honk the horn," or the instrument panel could display a maneuvering mode icon with the word "Activated" next to it. Target maneuvering mode refers to a specific driving mode for low-speed, frequent maneuvering. This mode is activated by monitoring vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency. In target maneuvering mode, the horn and turn signal functions are remapped to the steering wheel function buttons, improving operational convenience and safety.

[0062] Steering wheel button descriptions use text or icons to show the driver the specific functions of the steering wheel buttons in target maneuvering mode. For example, the central control screen might display "A short press of the volume '+' button on the right side of the steering wheel can honk the horn, and a short press of the voice assistant button can activate the turn signals," while the instrument panel might display a steering wheel icon with the functions of each button labeled on it.

[0063] Therefore, through preset reminders, the system clearly informs the driver that the vehicle is currently in target maneuvering mode and provides detailed instructions on button functions, enabling the driver to quickly understand and adapt to the new operating method. For example, when the driver is maneuvering at low speed, the central control screen displays "Low-speed maneuvering mode activated; short press the volume '+' button on the right side of the steering wheel to honk the horn." The driver can immediately understand the operating method in the current mode without additional learning. Furthermore, through text or icon displays, the driver can intuitively understand the specific functions of the steering wheel buttons, eliminating the need to frequently consult the manual or perform trial operations, thus improving operational convenience and efficiency. For example, when the driver is maneuvering at low speed, a steering wheel icon is displayed on the instrument panel, with the function of each button labeled. The driver can quickly find and use the correct button without searching for it on the steering wheel. Through clear reminders and instructions, the driver can quickly master the new operating method, reducing potential safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with the operation and improving driving safety.

[0064] For example, suppose a vehicle is performing a low-speed maneuver in a parking lot. The vehicle speed sensor detects that the vehicle's real-time speed is consistently below 3 km / h, and this below-3 km / h state has lasted for more than 5 seconds. The gear position sensor records that the vehicle's gear shifts between R and D gears 3 times within 30 seconds. Based on this monitoring data, the vehicle is determined to be in a low-speed maneuvering scenario, and the target maneuvering mode is automatically activated. In target maneuvering mode, the horn activation function is temporarily remapped from the physical button in the center of the steering wheel to the voice assistant button on the right side of the steering wheel, and the turn signal activation function is temporarily remapped from the stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the volume up and down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Furthermore, the central control screen displays "Low-speed maneuvering mode activated. The volume up and down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel can activate the turn signals, and a short press of the voice assistant button can short-press to honk the horn," and a steering wheel icon is also displayed on the instrument panel, with the function of each button labeled. Thus, through a combination of text and icons, the driver is clearly informed that the vehicle is in low-speed maneuvering mode, and detailed instructions on the button functions are provided.

[0065] Therefore, by displaying the target parking mode based on a preset reminder method and showing the button descriptions on the steering wheel, the driver can be clearly informed that the vehicle is currently in low-speed parking mode, and detailed button function instructions can be provided. This design not only improves the user experience and enhances operational convenience, but also improves driving safety, ensuring that the driver can operate quickly and accurately when parking at low speeds.

[0066] In addition, in one embodiment of this application, the driver can be informed of the current low-speed vehicle maneuvering mode via a speaker through voice reminders, and detailed instructions on the button functions can be provided via voice.

[0067] In summary, as a concrete example, suppose a vehicle equipped with an intelligent driving assistance system is performing a low-speed maneuver in a parking lot. The following is the specific process: After the vehicle starts, the intelligent driving assistance system enters standby mode and begins to monitor the vehicle's status in real time. The system continuously monitors the vehicle's real-time speed through the speed sensor and records gear shifting through the gear position sensor. The driver begins to maneuver the vehicle at a low speed in the parking lot, with the speed consistently below 3 km / h.

[0068] If the vehicle shifts between reverse and drive three times within 30 seconds, the system, based on monitoring data, determines that the vehicle is in a low-speed maneuvering scenario. It automatically activates the target maneuvering mode and sends a notification to the driver via the central control screen and instrument panel, such as the text: "Low-speed maneuvering mode activated. The volume '+' button on the right side of the steering wheel activates the turn signals. A short press of the voice assistant button activates the horn." An icon is displayed on the instrument panel, showing the functions of each button. This temporarily remaps the horn activation function from the physical button in the center of the steering wheel to the voice assistant button on the right side. Similarly, it temporarily remaps the turn signal activation function from the left-side stalk to the volume buttons on the right side. When maneuvering at low speed, the driver can briefly press the voice assistant button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the horn, and briefly press the right-side volume '+' button to activate the turn signals.

[0069] During low-speed maneuvering, the system continuously monitors vehicle speed and gear shifting. Once the vehicle exits the parking lot, its speed consistently exceeds 5 km / h for more than 10 seconds. Based on the monitoring data, the system determines that the vehicle has entered normal driving mode and automatically exits the low-speed maneuvering mode. An exit prompt message is displayed to the driver via the central control screen and instrument panel, such as the text: "Low-speed maneuvering mode has been exited. Restore original function mapping." The steering wheel icon on the instrument panel is restored to its original state. The system restores the horn activation function to the physical button in the center of the steering wheel and the turn signal activation function to the left-hand stalk on the steering wheel. Additionally, if the driver discovers that the system has mistakenly activated the target maneuvering mode during low-speed maneuvering, they can manually exit the mode, such as by clicking the "Exit Low-Speed ​​Maneuvering Mode" button on the central control screen or by pressing and holding a multi-function button on the steering wheel for more than 3 seconds.

[0070] This allows for accurate identification of low-speed vehicle maneuvering scenarios and automatic activation of the target maneuvering mode, improving operational efficiency and safety. When maneuvering at low speeds, drivers no longer need to frequently move their hands to operate the horn and turn signals, significantly reducing workload, minimizing hand movement and distraction, and reducing safety hazards caused by operational errors.

[0071] The following is combined with Figure 2 The method described in this application is used to describe the method.

[0072] As a specific example, the vehicle control method of this application may include the following steps: S101, obtain the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency.

[0073] S102, determine whether the vehicle speed is less than a first preset vehicle speed threshold and whether it continues for a first preset time, and whether the gear shifting frequency is greater than a preset gear shifting frequency threshold. If yes, proceed to step S103; if no, proceed to step S106.

[0074] S103, confirm that the vehicle is in the target relocation mode.

[0075] S104, the horn function is mapped to the function button on the first side of the steering wheel, and the turn signal function is mapped to the function button on the second side of the steering wheel, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the steering wheel.

[0076] S105, displays the target vehicle relocation mode based on a preset reminder method, and displays the button descriptions on the steering wheel, wherein the preset reminder method includes at least one of text display and icon display.

[0077] S106, determine whether the vehicle speed exceeds the second preset speed threshold and remains so for the second preset time, or whether a target exit command is received. If yes, proceed to step S107; if no, proceed to step S101.

[0078] S107, determine that the vehicle is not in the target vehicle relocation mode, and proceed to step S101.

[0079] In summary, the vehicle control method according to the embodiments of this application obtains the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency, determines that the vehicle is in a target relocation mode based on the vehicle speed and gear shifting frequency, and maps the vehicle's warning function to the function buttons on the steering wheel in the target relocation mode.
