Similarly, the terms "of," "corresponding (relevant)," and "corresponding" may sometimes be used interchangeably. It should be noted that, without emphasizing the distinction between them, they convey the same meaning.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, sometimes a subscript such as W1 may be mistakenly written as a non-subscript form such as W1. When the difference is not emphasized, the meaning they express is the same.

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] This invention provides a collaborative control method for a vehicle occupant protection system. This method can be implemented by a collaborative control device for the vehicle occupant protection system, which can be a terminal or a server. Figure 1 The vehicle-mounted welcome projection control method shown includes the following steps: S110, Detect the user's proximity and complete identity verification; S120. After successful authentication, call up the welcome projection content that matches the authenticated user identity; S130: Send the image data of the welcoming projection content to the target projection component through a high-speed serial data transmission link; S140: Receive and parse the image data, and perform the welcoming projection.

[0028] This embodiment details the complete implementation process of the vehicle-mounted welcome projection control method: First, the system detects the approaching user using ultra-wideband positioning (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies and completes identity verification. When the user enters the detection range carrying a smart terminal or car key, the system first establishes a Bluetooth BLE connection for initial wake-up, and then initiates UWB positioning for precise ranging and location tracking. The identity verification process includes user identification and authorization verification, ensuring that only authorized users can trigger the welcome projection.

[0029] After successful authentication, the system retrieves the corresponding welcome projection content from the preset user profile. This content can include personalized welcome text, customized animation effects, or user-preferred projection patterns. Users can pre-set their preferred projection themes via a mobile app; the system supports projection source files in various formats, including images and videos.

[0030] Next, the image data of the welcome projection content is sent to the target projection component via a high-speed serial data transmission link. The transmission process employs an efficient encoding method to ensure data integrity, while also supporting real-time transmission of control commands to achieve remote control of the projection component.

[0031] At the projection component end, image data is received and parsed, driving the projection optics to perform the welcome projection. During the projection process, the system monitors the projection effect in real time to ensure the accurate presentation of the projected content.

[0032] This embodiment implements a complete intelligent welcome projection process, automating the entire process from user detection to projection execution, greatly enhancing the user experience. An authentication mechanism ensures system security, and personalized content settings meet users' customization needs.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes: A low-power connection is established via Bluetooth to initially wake up the system; the ultra-wideband positioning module is activated for high-precision positioning to calculate the relative position of the user and the vehicle; the key controller collects the user's digital key signal to obtain the user's identity information; the user's identity information is sent to the intelligent cockpit domain controller for verification; based on the ambient light intensity, a projection brightness adjustment command is generated; the brightness adjustment command is sent to the target projection component through the high-speed serial data transmission link to dynamically adjust the projection brightness.

[0034] This embodiment details the specific implementation method of the authentication process: The authentication module employs a collaborative working mode of an ultra-wideband positioning chip and a Bluetooth Low Energy chip. The ultra-wideband chip uses the DW1000 series, achieving a positioning accuracy of ±5cm, and can accurately determine the relative position and movement trajectory of the user and the vehicle. The Bluetooth Low Energy chip uses a chipset supporting Bluetooth 5.0, enabling low-power continuous connectivity.

[0035] When a user approaches the vehicle, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) first establishes a connection for initial authentication. Once authentication is successful, UWB positioning is activated, calculating the user's precise location using multiple UWB anchor points. The system then determines the user's intent based on their location information, and prepares to trigger the welcome process when it detects the user approaching the vehicle.

[0036] The authentication information includes user ID, permission level, and personalized settings, which are transmitted to the main controller via the CAN bus. After verifying the user's identity, the main controller matches the corresponding personalized welcome settings, including projection theme, volume settings, and lighting effects.

[0037] The dual-mode authentication mechanism ensures both accurate identification and power efficiency. Ultra-wideband technology provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy, ensuring precise system triggering; Bluetooth Low Energy technology enables continuous connectivity, guaranteeing timely system response. In a preferred embodiment, the high-speed serial data transmission link is a serializer-deserializer link, and the step of sending the image data of the welcoming projection content to the target projection component through the high-speed serial data transmission link includes: In the intelligent cockpit domain controller, parallel image signals are converted into high-speed serial signals via a serializer; the high-speed serial signals are transmitted to the projection component via a coaxial cable; and in the projection component, the high-speed serial signals are restored to parallel image data via a deserializer.

[0038] This embodiment details the specific implementation method for high-speed serial data transmission: The high-speed data communication module uses the SerDes chipset to build the transmission link. The transmitter serializer converts parallel image signals such as DP / DSI / HDMI into high-speed serial signals, supporting data transmission rates up to 10Gbps. It employs 8b / 10b or 128b / 130b encoding methods to improve data transmission reliability.

[0039] The transmission link uses coaxial cable, supporting a transmission distance of up to 15 meters, meeting the deployment requirements of multi-area projection components on the vehicle body. The coaxial cable simultaneously undertakes signal transmission and power supply functions, achieving hybrid transmission of signals and power through PoC technology.

[0040] At the projection component end, the deserializer restores the high-speed serial signal to parallel image data, which is then sent to the projection electronics via the MIPI / OLDI / eDP interface. The projection electronics include an image processor, memory, and driver circuitry, supporting projection requirements for different resolutions such as 1080P and 4K.

[0041] The high-speed serial transmission architecture significantly improves data transmission stability and anti-interference capabilities, while the single-cable design simplifies system wiring and reduces installation complexity and cost. Long-distance transmission capabilities support flexible component deployment, meeting the installation needs of different vehicle models.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, power is supplied to the projection component via the same coaxial cable while transmitting high-speed serial signals, thus achieving cable power supply.

[0043] This embodiment details the specific implementation method for synchronous transmission of signals and electrical energy: The PoC (Power over Cell) system transmits high-speed serial signals and DC power simultaneously via coaxial cable. The system employs a dedicated PoC filter circuit to isolate the high-speed signal from the power supply circuit, preventing mutual interference.

[0044] When the projection component's power supply current does not exceed the power supply capacity of the coaxial connector and cable, the main controller directly powers the projection component via the coaxial cable, simplifying the interface design. When the projection component requires a larger operating current, the system supports independent power cable supply to ensure stable system operation.

[0045] The power supply management system monitors the power supply status in real time, including voltage, current, and power parameters. When an anomaly is detected, the system automatically adjusts the power supply strategy or activates a protection mechanism to prevent equipment damage.

[0046] PoC technology significantly simplifies system cabling, reduces the use of connectors and cables, and lowers system cost and weight. Intelligent power management ensures stable system operation, improving system reliability and security. In a preferred embodiment, the step of invoking the welcome projection content that matches the verified user identity includes: Retrieve personalized projection themes associated with the user's identity from local storage or the cloud; The projection subject includes still images, dynamic videos, or animated content.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes a dynamic scene adaptation step: Real-time monitoring of vehicle status and environmental parameters; Adjust the projection content of the corresponding side projection component according to the door opening / closing status; Automatically adjusts projection brightness based on ambient light intensity; Based on navigation information, trigger corresponding projection content in specific scenarios.

[0048] This embodiment details the specific implementation method of environmental adaptive adjustment: The environmental sensing module includes a high-precision light sensor that monitors ambient light intensity in real time. Sensor data is transmitted to the main controller via I2C or SPI interface, with a sampling frequency of up to 100Hz, ensuring rapid response to environmental changes.

[0049] The main controller dynamically adjusts projection parameters based on ambient light intensity. In bright light, the system automatically increases the brightness of the projection light source, up to a maximum of 1000 lumens, to ensure the visibility of the projected content. In low light, the brightness is appropriately reduced to avoid excessive glare and save energy.

[0050] The system also supports adjusting the projected color according to the ambient color temperature, ensuring color accuracy of the projected content under different lighting conditions. Through color management algorithms, it achieves 99% sRGB color reproduction, providing a realistic and natural visual effect.

[0051] The environmental adaptive function ensures optimal projection performance under various lighting conditions, enhancing system usability and user experience. Intelligent brightness adjustment guarantees both visual quality and efficient energy use. This embodiment details the specific implementation method of collaborative control of multiple projection components: The system supports distributed deployment of multiple projection components, which can be placed in any available area around the vehicle, including under the doors and on the roof. The number of projection components is determined by the vehicle size and body shape, and flexible expansion is supported.

[0052] The main controller coordinates the operation of multiple projection components via a high-speed serial data bus. The system supports various collaborative modes, including synchronous projection, alternating projection, and complementary projection, to achieve rich welcoming effects.

[0053] The collaborative control algorithm dynamically adjusts the projection mode based on vehicle status information. For example, when a door is detected to be open, the corresponding projection component automatically adjusts the projection pattern to display dynamic effects such as "Welcome aboard." The system also supports adjusting the projection area and content based on the user's location information.

[0054] Multi-component collaborative control enables richer and more dynamic welcome effects, enhancing the system's technological feel and user experience. Distributed deployment supports flexible installation and configuration to meet the needs of different vehicle models and application scenarios.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes an exception handling step: When a serializer / deserializer link failure is detected, the system automatically switches to the backup transmission link. When a projection component malfunctions, the operating status of other projection components is adjusted to compensate for the projection coverage.

[0056] This embodiment details the specific implementation of the system exception handling mechanism: The system is equipped with a comprehensive anomaly detection and handling mechanism. When a serializer / deserializer link failure is detected, the system automatically activates a backup transmission link. The fault detection module monitors the link status by periodically sending heartbeat signals and checksum data packets. If three consecutive signal losses or checksum errors are detected, the system determines that a link failure has occurred.

[0057] The backup transmission link employs an independent physical channel and signal processing chip to ensure immediate takeover of data transmission in the event of a primary link failure. The switchover process is completed in milliseconds, making service interruption virtually imperceptible to users. The system simultaneously records fault information, including fault time, type, and recovery status, for subsequent analysis.

[0058] When a projection component malfunctions, the system identifies the faulty component through a self-test program and immediately activates a compensation mechanism. Adjacent, functioning projection components automatically adjust their projection angle and range, increasing the overlapping projection area to compensate for the coverage gap caused by the faulty component. For example, if the left projection component malfunctions, the projection components on both the front and rear sides will extend their projection range to the left to ensure the integrity of the projection area.

[0059] This embodiment achieves high availability and fault tolerance of the system, ensuring that basic functions are maintained even when some components fail. Automatic failover and compensation mechanisms significantly improve system reliability, reduce the need for maintenance intervention, and provide users with a consistently stable and welcoming experience.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the authentication is achieved based on at least one of a mobile digital key, a traditional car key, or biometric identification.

[0061] This embodiment details the specific implementation method of multi-mode authentication: The system supports the use of three authentication methods individually or in combination. Mobile digital key authentication is based on Bluetooth and UWB technologies. The digital key application installed on the user's mobile phone establishes a secure connection with the vehicle through encrypted communication. The authentication process includes device authentication, user identity verification, and permission checks.

[0062] Traditional car key verification uses improved RFID technology, with a built-in security chip in the key that performs two-way authentication with the vehicle's reader. The system supports rolling code encryption to prevent signal replay attacks and ensure communication security.

[0063] Biometric recognition supports both fingerprint and facial recognition. The fingerprint recognition module is integrated into the door handle and uses a capacitive sensor to collect fingerprint features and compare them with a pre-stored template. Facial recognition is achieved through an onboard camera, using near-infrared liveness detection technology to prevent photo or video spoofing.

[0064] The system also supports multi-factor authentication, such as the combination of digital keys and biometric recognition, providing a higher level of security. All authentication data is stored in encrypted form, and personal biometric information is deleted immediately after verification to ensure user privacy and security.

[0065] The multi-mode authentication mechanism balances security and convenience, catering to diverse user preferences. Advanced encryption technology and liveness detection effectively prevent unauthorized access, while flexible combination authentication methods provide solutions for scenarios with high security requirements.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the image data has a resolution of full HD or ultra-HD and is transmitted using 8-bit / 10-bit or 128-bit / 130-bit encoding.

[0067] This embodiment details the specific implementation method for high-definition image data transmission: The system supports both Full HD and Ultra HD resolution modes. Full HD mode uses a 1920×1080 resolution at 60fps; Ultra HD mode supports a 3840×2160 resolution at 30fps. Image data is generated by the SoC's GPU core, using the YUV420 color space, optimizing bandwidth usage while ensuring image quality.

[0068] Data transmission employs an advanced encoding scheme. The basic mode uses 8-bit / 10-bit encoding, providing 20% ​​redundancy check to ensure signal integrity. The high-performance mode uses 128-bit / 130-bit encoding, with a check overhead of only 1.56%, significantly improving the effective data transmission rate.

[0069] The encoding process is completed in the serializer chip, including data scrambling, clock embedding, and error correction coding. The deserializer at the receiving end performs the reverse process, extracting the synchronization clock through the clock data recovery circuit and using forward error correction technology to correct transmission errors.

[0070] The system also supports adaptive coding strategies, dynamically adjusting the coding scheme based on channel quality. When a signal quality degradation is detected, it automatically switches to a coding mode with higher redundancy to ensure reliable data transmission.

[0071] Advanced high-definition transmission solutions optimize bandwidth utilization while ensuring image quality, and the flexible selection of multiple encoding methods balances transmission efficiency and reliability requirements. Adaptive encoding strategies further enhance the system's performance in different environments.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes a post-projection state monitoring and feedback step: The projection effect is continuously monitored using environmental sensors; The projection parameters, including brightness, contrast, and projection angle, are dynamically adjusted based on the monitoring results. The system's operating status is uploaded to the cloud server via the vehicle-mounted communication terminal.

[0073] This embodiment details the specific implementation method for post-projection status monitoring and feedback: The system deploys multiple sets of environmental sensors to continuously monitor the projection effect, including a high dynamic range image sensor, an ambient light sensor, and a color sensor. The image sensor captures the projection area at a rate of 30fps, and machine vision algorithms are used to analyze the projection brightness uniformity, focus sharpness, and color accuracy.

[0074] Monitoring data is transmitted to the processing unit in real time, and the system dynamically adjusts projection parameters based on the analysis results. Brightness adjustment employs closed-loop control, automatically optimizing based on changes in ambient light and the characteristics of the projection surface. Contrast adjustment is based on image histogram analysis to ensure detail reproduction. Fine-tuning of the projection angle is achieved through a motorized pan-tilt unit, compensating for the effects caused by the vehicle's parking posture.

[0075] All operational data, including equipment status, environmental parameters, fault records, and performance metrics, is uploaded to a cloud server via the in-vehicle T-Box. The cloud platform performs big data analysis, providing performance trend predictions, preventative maintenance recommendations, and remote diagnostic support. Users can also view system operating status and historical records via a mobile app.

[0076] Beneficial effects: The closed-loop monitoring and feedback mechanism ensures continuous optimization of the projection effect, and intelligent parameter adjustment adapts to complex usage environments. Cloud data services provide strong support for system maintenance and function upgrades, realizing an upgrade from single function to intelligent service.

This domain controller integrates a high-performance SoC chip, using an advanced 16nm process technology, and has a built-in multi-core CPU and dedicated GPU processing unit, with a computing power of over 10 TOPS, capable of rendering 4K resolution welcome projection content in real time.

[0079] The perception module employs multi-sensor fusion technology, including a UWB positioning unit, a BLE communication unit, and a biometric recognition unit. The UWB positioning unit uses a DW3000 series chip, achieving a positioning accuracy of ±10cm, and uses four anchor points distributed around the vehicle body for precise positioning. The BLE unit supports Bluetooth 5.2 protocol, enabling low-power continuous connectivity. The biometric recognition unit is integrated into the door handles, supporting both fingerprint and vein recognition.

[0080] The projection components adopt a modular design, with each component containing a deserializer chip, an image processing unit, and a DLP projection optics system. The deserializer supports a 10Gbps transmission rate, the image processing unit is equipped with a dedicated DSP chip, and the projection optics system uses a 0.45-inch DMD chip, supporting a native 1080P resolution and a brightness of up to 800 lumens.

[0081] The high-speed serial data transmission link uses coaxial cable as the medium and supports a maximum transmission distance of 20 meters.
