Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle-mounted reading light technology, and more particularly to a vehicle-mounted reading light system and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The in-vehicle reading lights in related technologies only provide illumination for fixed locations, resulting in a limited range of effects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a vehicle-mounted reading light system that can present a more dynamic illumination effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] A vehicle-mounted reading light system includes a lamp head, a control component, and a drive component. The drive component is connected to the lamp head, and the control component is communicatively connected to the drive component. The vehicle-mounted reading light system includes a motion mode, which includes a first mode. In the first mode, the control component controls the drive component to switch the spatial position of the lamp head between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order. In each of the multiple preset spatial positions, the lamp head faces multiple body parts of the occupant in a corresponding manner.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lamp head can be switched between multiple preset spatial positions. If the lamp head is in the preset spatial position and faces the body part of the occupant, the preset spatial position is marked as the set spatial position.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted reading light system further includes a first acquisition component, which is used to acquire the position areas of multiple body parts of the occupant. The light head can be switched between multiple preset spatial positions. If the light head is in the preset spatial position and faces the position area, the control component calibrates the preset spatial position as the set spatial position.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted reading light system further includes a second acquisition component, the second acquisition component being used to acquire the illumination sequence instruction input by the occupant and generate the set sequence, wherein the illumination sequence instruction is a sequence instruction of the lamp head facing multiple body parts of the occupant.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the motion mode further includes a second mode, in which the control component controls the drive component to switch the spatial position of the lamp head between multiple preset spatial positions in a predetermined order, and the illumination angle of the lamp head at the multiple preset spatial positions is different.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted reading light system further includes a fixed mode, in which the control component controls the lamp head to remain constantly lit, and controls the drive component to fix the spatial position of the lamp head at a set position.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the in-vehicle reading light system of the present invention has the following advantages: First, the spatial position of the lamp head switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a set order, that is, the illumination position of the lamp head also changes accordingly, so that the lamp head can present a more dynamic illumination effect, creating a dynamic illumination atmosphere, which is conducive to improving the user experience; Second, when the spatial position of the lamp head switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a set order, it will illuminate multiple parts of the occupant's body in sequence, which can produce a better interactive effect with the occupant, which is conducive to further improving the occupant's user experience.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle including an in-vehicle reading light system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of the vehicle described in this invention are the same as those of the in-vehicle reading light system in the embodiments of this invention, and will not be repeated here.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted reading light system includes a motion mode and a fixed mode;

[0015] In the motion mode, the control component controls the drive component to change the spatial position of the lamp head along a set path;

[0016] In the fixed mode, the control component controls the lamp head to remain constantly lit, and controls the drive component to fix the spatial position of the lamp head at a set position;

[0017] The vehicle also includes a detection component, which is communicatively connected to the control component. The control component is used to control the vehicle reading light system to be in the fixed mode when the detection component detects that the vehicle is moving; and / or, the control component is also used to control the vehicle reading light system to be in the moving mode when the detection component detects that the vehicle is stopped.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] The following will refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lamp head 10, a control component 20, and a drive component 30. The drive component 30 is connected to the lamp head 10, and the control component 20 is communicatively connected to the drive component 30. The vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 includes a motion mode, which includes a first mode. In the first mode, the control component 20 controls the drive component 30 to switch the spatial position of the lamp head 10 between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order. The lamp head 10 faces multiple body parts of the occupant in a one-to-one correspondence at the multiple preset spatial positions.

[0030] Specifically, the lamp head 10 may include a light-emitting end and a connecting end. The lamp head 10 can be mounted on a vehicle via a ball joint. The drive assembly 30 may include multiple telescopic drive members, which are respectively arranged at different positions of the lamp head 10 and are all connected to the connecting end via a flexible member (e.g., a rope). The multiple telescopic drive members extend and retract accordingly to drive the spatial position of the lamp head 10 to change, for example, to change the illumination angle of the lamp head 10 to switch between multiple set spatial positions. However, it is not limited to this; other drive members that can drive the spatial position of the lamp head 10 to change along a set path can also be used as the drive assembly 30.

[0031] Control component 20 can be a separately configured controller or an existing controller in the vehicle. For example, control component 20 may be a CEM (Central Electronic Module, also known as a body controller or body electronic control unit). The CEM communicates with drive component 30 via a LIN bus (LIN is a low-cost serial communication mechanism). The CEM is an important module in a car for managing and controlling body-related functions. It is usually located inside the vehicle and is responsible for integrating and controlling multiple systems and devices, such as door locking, window control, lighting control, anti-theft system, seat adjustment, and wiper control.

[0032] In the first mode, the control component 20 controls the drive component 30 to switch the spatial position of the lamp head 10 between multiple preset spatial positions in a set sequence. The lamp head 10 faces multiple body parts of the occupant in a corresponding manner from each preset spatial position. That is, as the spatial position of the lamp head 10 switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a set sequence, the lamp head 10 will sequentially illuminate multiple body parts of the occupant, for example, sequentially illuminating the occupant's face → shoulder → arm → hand → abdomen → leg → face in a cycle.

[0033] According to the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 of the present invention, firstly, the spatial position of the lamp head 10 switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, that is, the illumination position of the lamp head 10 also changes accordingly, so that the lamp head 10 can present a more dynamic illumination effect, create a dynamic illumination atmosphere, and help improve the user experience; secondly, when the spatial position of the lamp head 10 switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, it will illuminate multiple body parts of the occupant in sequence, which can produce a better interactive effect with the occupant, and further help improve the occupant's user experience.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lamp head 10 can be switched between multiple preset spatial positions. If the lamp head 10 is in a preset spatial position and faces the body part of the occupant, the preset spatial position is marked as the set spatial position.

[0035] It should be noted that the process of calibrating the preset spatial position can be performed before the vehicle leaves the factory, or it can be performed by the user while using the vehicle. The specific calibration process can be as follows: The calibrator sits in the vehicle in a normal sitting posture and controls the lamp head 10 to rotate to multiple preset spatial positions in sequence. When the calibrator switches the lamp head 10 to a certain preset spatial position and the lamp head 10 illuminates a certain part of the calibrator's body, the preset spatial position is calibrated as a specific set spatial position, and the control component 20 records and stores this preset spatial position as the set spatial position that illuminates a specific body part.

[0036] For example, you can refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the lamp head 10 moves to position 2, the lamp head 10 can illuminate the leg of the calibrator. The calibrator then uses the control component 20 to calibrate position 2 as the set spatial position that illuminates the person's leg. When the lamp head 10 moves to position 5, the lamp head 10 can illuminate the hand of the calibrator. The calibrator then uses the control component 20 to calibrate position 5 as the set spatial position that illuminates the person's hand, and so on.

[0037] Users or calibrators can calibrate the system by observing the illumination position of the lamp head 10 (corresponding to the illumination angle) to generate multiple preset spatial positions. This simplifies the complexity of the vehicle reading light system 100 and reduces the cost of using the vehicle reading light system 100.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 also includes a first acquisition component 401, which is used to acquire the position areas of multiple body parts of the occupant. The lamp head 10 can be switched between multiple preset spatial positions. If the lamp head 10 is in a preset spatial position and faces the position area, the control component 20 calibrates the preset spatial position as the set spatial position.

[0039] The first acquisition component 401 can be a radar or a camera. It can obtain the location area of ​​a body part by acquiring multiple spatial points on the surface of a body part, or directly obtain the location area of ​​the surface of a body part; or directly acquire the outer contour of a body part, and the plane on which the outer contour is located forms the location area of ​​the body part.

[0040] The control component 20 can obtain the illumination angle or direction of the lamp head 10 by acquiring the driving state of the drive component 30. By processing the illumination angle of the lamp head 10, the position of the lamp head 10 on the vehicle, and the position area of ​​the body part, for example, it can determine whether the straight line of the illumination direction of the lamp head 10 intersects with the position area of ​​the body part. When the straight line of the orientation direction of the lamp head 10 intersects with the position area of ​​the body part, it can be determined that the orientation area of ​​the lamp head 10 is located, and the control component 20 can calibrate the preset spatial position as the set spatial position.

[0041] Multiple preset spatial positions and their corresponding illumination angles can be pre-stored in the control component 20. After calibration begins, the first acquisition component 401 automatically starts acquiring positional area information of multiple body parts of the occupant, and sequentially calculates and processes the illumination angles corresponding to the multiple preset spatial positions and the positional area information of the multiple body parts to complete the calibration process. No manual calibration is required, thus improving the automation level of the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100. Furthermore, the set spatial positions can be recalibrated multiple times according to the needs and actual conditions of the occupant, such as different occupant body shapes, which helps improve the matching degree between the illumination position of the lamp head 10 and the occupant's body parts, resulting in better matching.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle reading light system 100 further includes a second acquisition component 402, which is used to acquire the illumination sequence command input by the occupant and generate a set sequence, wherein the illumination sequence command is a sequence command of the lamp head 10 facing multiple body parts of the occupant.

[0043] The irradiation sequence instructions can be, for example: irradiate the feet, irradiate the legs, irradiate the abdomen, and irradiate the hands.

[0044] For example, the second acquisition component 402 can be the vehicle's central control screen, allowing occupants to manually input illumination sequence commands to generate a set sequence; alternatively, the second acquisition component 402 can be the vehicle's voice acquisition module, allowing occupants to input voice commands to the vehicle's voice acquisition module to generate a set sequence. The set sequence generated by the second acquisition component 402 is sent to the control component 20, which can then control the spatial position of the lamp head 10 to switch between multiple set spatial positions according to the set sequence.

[0045] In this way, occupants can flexibly change the order in which the light heads 10 face multiple body parts according to their needs, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the motion mode further includes a second mode, in which the control component 20 controls the drive component 30 to switch the spatial position of the lamp head 10 between multiple preset spatial positions in a predetermined order, and the illumination angle of the lamp head 10 at the multiple preset spatial positions is different.

[0047] In other words, the sports mode includes a first mode and a second mode, and the in-vehicle reading light system 100 can switch between the first mode and the second mode.

[0048] For example, before the vehicle leaves the factory, the control component 20 has a pre-stored control program. The control program can be executed directly so that the drive component 30 can be controlled so that the spatial position of the lamp head 10 can be switched between multiple preset spatial positions in a predetermined order.

[0049] Alternatively, before the vehicle leaves the factory, the control component 20 may have a pre-stored control program. When the control program is executed, it can drive the lamp head 10 to multiple preset spatial positions. Subsequently, the user can write a predetermined sequence into the control component 20, so that the control component 20 can control the drive component 30 to drive the lamp head 10 to switch between multiple preset spatial positions in a predetermined sequence.

[0050] For example, you can refer to Figure 2 As shown, there are two light heads 10 in the left-right direction of the vehicle. Each light head 10 has 9 preset spatial positions, meaning that the spatial position of the light head 10 can change between position 1 and position 9 when it is moving. The preset sequence can be position 1 → position 2 → position 3 → position 4 → position 5 → position 6 → position 7 → position 8 → position 9 → position 1 in a cycle.

[0051] In motion mode, the control component 20 controls the drive component 30 to change the spatial position of the lamp head 10 along a set path. That is, in motion mode, the illumination position or angle of the lamp head 10 changes continuously and cyclically, thereby creating a dynamic atmosphere, enabling the in-vehicle reading light system 100 to have an entertainment function or an atmosphere-creating function. More specifically, the change in the spatial position of the lamp head 10 can be a change in the orientation of the lamp head 10, or a translation of the lamp head 10, resulting in a change in its spatial position; or, during the translation of the lamp head 10, the orientation of the lamp head 10 may change simultaneously, all of which should be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle reading light system 100 further includes a fixed mode, in which the control component 20 controls the lamp head 10 to remain constantly lit, and controls the drive component 30 to fix the spatial position of the lamp head 10 at a set position.

[0053] In other words, in the fixed mode, the vehicle reading light system 100 retains its original function, that is, it can be used by the user when reading, and the position of the light head 10 does not change during use.

[0054] The set position can be a preset initial position of the lamp head 10. For example, when switching from motion mode to fixed mode, the lamp head 10 automatically returns to the preset initial position and remains there regardless of its current spatial location. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the set position can also be the last spatial position of the lamp head 10 in motion mode when switching from motion mode to fixed mode. Alternatively, the user can manually adjust the spatial position of the lamp head 10 to meet their reading lighting requirements, and this position becomes the set position.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference can be made to Figure 1 The control component 20 is connected to the lamp head 10. In motion mode, the control component 20 controls the lamp head 10 to flash at a first set frequency.

[0056] In other words, while the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along a set path, the lamp head 10 also flashes at a first set frequency. For example, when the vehicle reading light system 100 is in a first mode, the lamp head 10 flashes at the first set frequency; or when the vehicle reading light system 100 is in a second mode, the lamp head 10 flashes at the first set frequency. For example, the flashing frequency of the lamp head 10 is 3 times / second; or, for example, when the lamp head 10 is changing its spatial position, the lamp head 10 remains in a non-illuminating state, and when the lamp head 10 switches to a set spatial position or a preset spatial position, the lamp head 10 switches to an illuminated state, thereby achieving a matching movement and flashing process.

[0057] As the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along the set path, the lamp head 10 also flashes at the first set frequency. This can further enhance the dynamic atmosphere in the sports mode and improve the user experience.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control component 20 is communicatively connected to the lamp head 10. In motion mode, the control component 20 is also used to control the lamp head 10 to switch the light emission color at a second set frequency. Specifically, the lamp head 10 can be a multi-color LED.

[0059] In other words, while the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along a set path, the lamp head 10 also switches the light emission color according to a second set frequency. For example, when the vehicle reading light system 100 is in the first mode, the lamp head 10 switches the light emission color according to the second set frequency; or when the vehicle reading light system 100 is in the second mode, the lamp head 10 switches the light emission color according to the second set frequency. For example, exemplarily, the frequency at which the lamp head 10 switches the light emission color is once every 5 seconds; or, the frequency at which the lamp head 10 switches the light emission color can be consistent with the color switching frequency of the vehicle ambient light to achieve better consistency in the overall atmosphere of the vehicle.

[0060] As the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along the set path, the lamp head 10 also switches the light emission color according to the second set frequency. This can further enhance the dynamic atmosphere in the sports mode and improve the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, the control component 20 is communicatively connected to the lamp head 10. In motion mode, the control component 20 controls the lamp head 10 to flash at a first set frequency and controls the lamp head 10 to switch the light emission color at a second set frequency.

[0062] For example, the lamp head 10 can switch the light color every time it flashes.

[0063] In other words, while the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along the set path, the lamp head 10 also flashes at the first set frequency and switches the light emission color at the second set frequency. This can further enhance the dynamic atmosphere in the sports mode and improve the user experience.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in a fixed mode, the control component 20 is also used to control the lamp head 10 to switch the light emission color at a third preset frequency. In the fixed mode, the user can choose whether to control the lamp head 10 to switch the light emission color at the third preset frequency according to their own needs. In the fixed mode, the lamp head 10 switches the light emission color, so that the lamp head 10 can have the function of a static ambient light, thereby further enriching the functions of the vehicle reading light system 100.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first set frequency, the second set frequency, and the third set frequency are adjustable to provide a better user experience. The first set frequency, the second set frequency, and the third set frequency may be the same or different. The first set frequency, the second set frequency, and the third set frequency may be related or unrelated.

[0066] A second aspect of the invention also proposes a vehicle.

[0067] A vehicle according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes an in-vehicle reading light system 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention. Since the vehicle according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes the in-vehicle reading light system 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention has at least the following advantages: First, the spatial position of the lamp head 10 switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, that is, the illumination position of the lamp head 10 also changes accordingly, so that the lamp head 10 can present a more dynamic illumination effect, creating a dynamic illumination atmosphere, which is beneficial to improving the user experience; second, when the spatial position of the lamp head 10 switches between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, it will sequentially illuminate multiple body parts of the occupant, which can produce a better interactive effect with the occupant, which is beneficial to further improving the occupant's user experience.

[0068] The term "vehicle" or "of vehicles" or other similar terms generally include motor vehicles, such as passenger vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUVs), buses, trucks, various commercial vehicles, vessels including various boats and ships, aircraft, etc., and includes hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and other alternative fuel vehicles (e.g., vehicles derived from non-fossil fuels). A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle with two or more power sources, such as both gasoline and electric power.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle reading light system 100 includes a motion mode and a fixed mode; in the motion mode, the control component 20 controls the drive component 30 to change the spatial position of the lamp head 10 along a set path; in the fixed mode, the control component 20 controls the lamp head 10 to remain constantly lit, and controls the drive component 30 to fix the spatial position of the lamp head 10 at a set position.

[0070] The vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 has a fixed mode and a sport mode. In the fixed mode, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 can be used as a regular reading light. In the sport mode, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 can be used to create a dynamic atmosphere, that is, it has an entertainment function or an atmosphere-creating function. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 of this application embodiment has multi-functional characteristics, richer functions, and can meet more user needs.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle also includes a detection component 503, which is communicatively connected to the control component 20. The control component 20 is used to control the vehicle reading light system 100 to be in a fixed mode when the detection component 503 detects that the vehicle is in motion.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle also includes a detection component 503, and the control component 20 is also used to control the vehicle reading light system 100 to be in motion mode when the detection component 503 detects that the vehicle has stopped moving.

[0073] Specifically, the detection component 503 can obtain the vehicle's driving status by detecting whether the wheels are rotating. Alternatively, the detection component 503 can obtain the vehicle's driving status by detecting whether the vehicle's position has changed.

[0074] While the vehicle is in motion, the in-vehicle reading light system 100 is kept in a fixed mode to avoid the possibility that the in-vehicle reading light system 100 in sport mode may affect the driver's driving process and reduce the possibility that the sport mode setting may affect driving safety.

[0075] For example, if the in-vehicle reading light system 100 is in sport mode before the vehicle switches to driving mode, then when the vehicle switches from driving mode to stationary mode, the in-vehicle reading light system 100 is controlled to remain in sport mode. This reduces the number of operations required by the user and meets the user's need to use the in-vehicle reading light system 100 to create an atmosphere. The state of switching from driving mode to stationary mode can include the actual switch from driving mode to stationary mode, or it can be after the vehicle has been in a stationary mode for a period of time.

[0076] In certain situations, such as according to the user's own needs, the in-vehicle reading light system 100 is in a fixed mode before the vehicle switches to driving mode, and can also be controlled to switch to sport mode when the vehicle switches to a stopped state.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle also includes a distance recognition module 501, which is used to recognize the distance between the illumination position of the lamp head 10 and the lamp head 10. The control component 20 is used to increase the brightness of the lamp head 10 when the distance between the illumination position of the lamp head 10 and the lamp head 10 increases, and to decrease the brightness of the lamp head 10 when the distance between the illumination position of the lamp head 10 and the lamp head 10 decreases.

[0078] For example, the distance recognition module 501 can be a camera. The distance between the illumination position of the lamp head 10 and the lamp head 10 can be called the illumination distance. The brightness of the lamp head 10 can change as the illumination distance increases or decreases. As the spatial position of the lamp head 10 changes along a set path, the illumination distance increases or decreases. Therefore, by making the brightness of the lamp head 10 increase as the illumination distance increases and decrease as the illumination distance decreases, the brightness at the illumination position of the lamp head 10 can be kept relatively constant, allowing the user to obtain a more stable illumination effect and improving user comfort.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle also includes a person identification module 502, which is used to identify occupants within the illumination range of the light head 10. The control component 20 is used to control the light head 10 to turn off when the person identification module 502 does not identify any occupants.

[0080] For example, the personnel recognition module 502 can be a camera, and the personnel recognition module 502 can identify whether an object is a human body. The illumination range of the lamp head 10 here refers to the maximum envelope of all positions that the lamp head 10 can illuminate as its spatial position changes along a set path. When the personnel recognition module 502 does not recognize any occupants, the lamp head 10 is controlled to turn off. This reduces manual operation, making the vehicle reading light system 100 more convenient to use, and also reduces power consumption, thus saving energy.

[0081] In other embodiments, the occupant can configure the control component 20 to turn on the light head 10 when the occupant is identified by the personnel identification module 502. Depending on the occupant's settings, the light head 10 can be switched directly to the first mode, the second mode, or the fixed mode after it is turned on.

[0082] The third aspect of this invention also proposes a control method for an in-vehicle reading light system.

[0083] According to a control method for a vehicle-mounted reading light system according to a third aspect of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 includes a motion mode, the motion mode including a first mode, and the control method including, in the first mode, controlling the spatial position of the lamp head 10 to switch between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, wherein the lamp head 10 faces multiple body parts of the occupant in a one-to-one correspondence in the multiple preset spatial positions.

[0084] According to the control method of the vehicle reading light system of the third aspect of the present invention, firstly, the spatial position of the lamp head 10 is switched between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, that is, the illumination position of the lamp head 10 also changes accordingly, so that the lamp head 10 can present a more dynamic illumination effect, create a dynamic illumination atmosphere, and improve the user experience; secondly, when the spatial position of the lamp head 10 is switched between multiple preset spatial positions in a preset order, it will illuminate multiple body parts of the occupant in sequence, which can produce a better interactive effect with the occupant, and further improve the occupant's user experience.

[0085] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium stores a control program for a vehicle-mounted reading light system 100 thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the control method of the vehicle-mounted reading light system as described in the third aspect of the present invention.
