Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data processing, and more particularly to a method and device for reminding passengers that their seatbelts are not fastened. Background Technology

[0002] Wearing seat belts correctly and properly throughout the vehicle's journey plays a crucial role in protecting the occupants. Therefore, seat belt reminder functions have become one of the essential basic functions required by regulations.

[0003] Currently, seatbelt unfastening relies solely on the logical determination of the seatbelt buckle engagement signal. End users can manipulate this logic by using fake buckles or maintaining a continuously engaged buckle, thus circumventing the seatbelt unfastened reminder function. This poses a significant risk to occupant protection in an accident. Related technologies employ deep learning algorithms to identify facial and seat features in seat images to determine if the seatbelt is on the passenger, thereby assessing seatbelt fastening. However, this approach requires acquiring seat images and involves complex computations, resulting in substantial hardware and software costs. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0027] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method, device, electronic device, storage medium, and program product for implementing the seatbelt unfastened reminder proposed in this disclosure.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a seatbelt unfastened reminder method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is executed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) responsible for the seatbelt unfastened reminder function.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step 101: Obtain the seatbelt buckle engagement status signal and the seat occupant occupant occupant signal.

[0031] In some embodiments of this disclosure, signals such as seatbelt buckle engagement status and seat occupancy status can be obtained through CAN bus routing or hardwired connection, which is not limited herein.

[0032] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the seatbelt buckle engagement status signal refers to a signal used by the vehicle system to monitor whether the seatbelt buckle is inserted. The detection of the seatbelt buckle engagement status signal typically uses a seatbelt buckle switch sensor, which can sense the on / off state of the seatbelt buckle. When the driver or passenger inserts the seatbelt buckle, the vehicle system detects the engagement status and sends a signal to the vehicle's ECU.

[0033] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a seat occupancy signal refers to a signal used by the vehicle system to detect whether there is a passenger in a seat. Detection of the seat occupancy signal typically uses a pressure sensor, which is installed under the seat or on the seat back and can sense pressure changes in the seat. When someone sits in the seat, the sensor detects the pressure and sends a signal to the vehicle's ECU indicating that there is a passenger in the seat.

[0034] Step 102: When the seat occupant occupant signal indicates that the seat occupant is not in use, and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is engaged, a seat belt not properly worn reminder is issued to remind the occupant to wear the seat belt properly.

[0035] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is not fastened, determining that the seat belt unfastened visual and / or auditory reminder functions are normal, and performing seat belt unfastened visual and / or auditory reminders.

[0036] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the ECU will comprehensively determine whether a seat belt unfastened reminder is needed based on the seat belt buckle engagement status signal and the seat occupant occupancy signal. It also adds a determination of whether a seat belt unfastened reminder is needed, reducing the possibility of end users deceiving the system logic in a false manner and improving the seat belt unfastened reminder function.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the seat occupancy sensor obtains the seat occupancy signal, indicating that the seat is occupied; the seat belt buckle switch sensor obtains the seat belt buckle engagement signal, indicating that the seat belt buckle is not fastened. At this time, a seat belt unfastened reminder is issued, and an audio-visual signal is output to remind the user.

[0038] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the seat occupant occupant signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is fastened, it is determined that the seat belt unfastened visual reminder and / or auditory reminder functions are abnormal, and the vehicle display is controlled to show a pop-up window indicating proper seat belt wearing.

[0039] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the occupancy status of the seat is obtained based on the occupant occupancy signal, including "occupied" and "unoccupied," and the seatbelt buckle engagement status is obtained based on the seatbelt buckle engagement signal, including "fastened" and "unfastened." The system determines whether to issue a seatbelt unfastened reminder based on the occupant occupancy status and the seatbelt buckle engagement status. The determination logic is shown in Table 1. The seatbelt unfastened reminder determination logic includes: when the seat is "unoccupied" and the seatbelt buckle is "unfastened," the system functions normally and there is no reminder; when the seat is "occupied" and the seatbelt buckle is "fastened," the system functions normally and there is no reminder; when the seat is "occupied" and the seatbelt buckle is "unfastened," the system functions normally and an "auditory / visual unfastened reminder" is issued; when the seat is "unoccupied" and the seatbelt buckle is "fastened," the system functions abnormally and a "proper wearing pop-up reminder" is issued.

[0040] Table 1 Seatbelt Unfastened Reminder Judgment Logic Table

[0041]

[0042] In summary, according to the embodiments of this disclosure, a seatbelt buckle engagement status signal and a seat occupant occupant occupant signal are acquired. When the seat occupant occupant occupant signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied, and the seatbelt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seatbelt buckle is fastened, a seatbelt improper wearing reminder is issued to remind the occupant to wear the seatbelt properly. The method of this disclosure overcomes the defects of existing seatbelt detection logic by improving software logic without significantly increasing hardware costs, preventing users from deceiving the system in a false manner, improving seatbelt reminders, and thus better protecting occupants in collision accidents, making after-sales EDR data recording more accurate and effective.

[0043] based on Figure 1 The embodiment shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a seatbelt unfastened reminder method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to autonomous driving or smart homes and is executed by an electronic control unit responsible for the seatbelt unfastened reminder function.

[0044] The method includes the following steps 201-208.

[0045] Step 201: Obtain the seatbelt buckle engagement status signal and the seat occupant occupant occupant signal.

[0046] The specific implementation of the above embodiments can be referred to Figure 1 The implementation of step 101 in the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Step 202: When the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is not in use and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, a seat belt not properly worn reminder is issued to remind the occupant to wear the seat belt properly.

[0048] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: when the seat occupant occupant signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is fastened, determining that the seat belt unfastened visual reminder and / or auditory reminder functions are abnormal, and controlling the vehicle display not to turn off the pop-up window displaying proper seat belt wearing.

[0049] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic control unit acquires signals such as seat belt buckle engagement status and seat occupancy status via CAN bus routing or hard-wired connection. When the seat occupancy status signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, the electronic control unit outputs a seat belt not properly worn reminder signal. This signal is used to control the display of a "Please wear your seat belt properly" pop-up window on the vehicle's dashboard.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, after issuing a seat belt improper wearing reminder, the method further includes: when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, controlling the in-vehicle display not to close the pop-up window displaying proper seat belt wearing.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, after issuing a seat belt improper wearing reminder, the method further includes: when the time when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied is before the time when the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, controlling the vehicle display to turn off the pop-up window displaying proper seat belt wearing.

[0052] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when a seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and a seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is not fastened, providing a visual and / or auditory reminder for unfastened seat belts; providing a visual reminder for unfastened seat belts includes: controlling a seat belt alarm signal device to display a seat belt unfastened sign.

[0053] In other words, in a scenario where the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupied, and the seat belt buckle engagement signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is fastened, and a seat belt improper wearing reminder is being issued, the seat belt improper wearing reminder will not be turned off when the seat belt buckle status remains unchanged and the seat occupancy changes from "unoccupied" to "occupied." The condition for turning off the reminder is that the seat occupancy status changes to "occupied" before the seat belt buckle status changes to "fastened."

[0054] Step 203: When the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is in place, and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is not fastened, a visual and / or auditory reminder for unfastened seat belts is issued.

[0055] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic control unit acquires signals such as seat belt buckle engagement status and seat occupancy status via CAN bus routing or hard-wired connection. When the seat occupancy status signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is not fastened, it is determined that the seat belt unfastened visual and / or auditory reminder functions are normal, and a seat belt unfastened visual and / or auditory reminder is given.

[0056] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes: when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is fastened, the seat belt unfastened reminder judgment logic ends and no reminder is given; when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is unoccupant and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is unfastened, the seat belt unfastened reminder judgment logic ends and no reminder is given.

[0057] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is not fastened, a visual and / or auditory seat belt unfastened reminder signal is output. The visual seat belt unfastened reminder signal is used to control the seat belt alarm signal device to display a seat belt unfastened sign or the auditory seat belt unfastened reminder signal is used to control the vehicle speaker to output a seat belt unfastened reminder message.

[0058] In some embodiments of this disclosure, Figure 5 A display mark for a seatbelt warning signal device is provided. For example, the display color of the signal device is red, and the inside of the mark outline should be filled in or left blank. When reminding passengers that the seatbelt is not fastened, a visual reminder signal for not fastening the seatbelt is output. The "human body" area inside the display mark outline of the signal device is filled in red, and the "seatbelt" area inside the display mark outline is left blank.

[0059] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the seatbelt unfastened visual reminder signal is used to control the vehicle dashboard to output seatbelt unfastened visual reminder information, including controlling the indicator light on the vehicle dashboard to display the seatbelt unfastened sign and / or controlling the vehicle dashboard to display a seatbelt unfastened pop-up reminder.

[0060] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle engagement status is not fastened, a seat belt unfastened visual and / or auditory reminder signal is output and provided to the vehicle system in a hierarchical manner to optimize the seat belt unfastened visual and auditory reminder function.

[0061] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when a seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is in use and a seatbelt buckle engagement signal indicates that the seatbelt buckle is not fastened, a vehicle power-on and / or ignition switch status signal is acquired. If the vehicle power-on and / or ignition switch status signal indicates that the vehicle power-on and / or ignition switch is on, a first-level seatbelt unfastened reminder is issued, and the vehicle display is controlled to show and output the first-level seatbelt unfastened visual reminder information. Optionally, a first-level seatbelt unfastened reminder is added, and the vehicle speaker is controlled to output the first-level seatbelt unfastened visual reminder information.

[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is not fastened, the method of providing a seat belt unfastened reminder includes: when the seat occupant occupancy signal indicates that the seat occupant is occupied and the seat belt buckle engagement status signal indicates that the seat belt buckle is not fastened, acquiring a vehicle driving status signal; if the vehicle driving status signal indicates that the vehicle is being driven, providing a second-level seat belt unfastened reminder, controlling the in-vehicle display to display a second-level seat belt unfastened visual reminder, and controlling the in-vehicle speaker to output a second-level seat belt unfastened auditory reminder.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the power is on and / or the ignition switch is turned on, the engine may or may not be running. When the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the first-level seatbelt unfastened reminder is activated. The first-level seatbelt unfastened reminder is a visual reminder. Alternatively, an auditory reminder may be added.

[0064] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a second-level seatbelt unfastened reminder is activated when the driver is driving the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt. The second-level seatbelt unfastened reminder includes both visual and auditory reminders.

[0065] In summary, the embodiments of this disclosure improve seatbelt buckle status detection by optimizing and enhancing software monitoring logic, thereby addressing potential deficiencies in seatbelt buckle status detection, preventing users from deceiving the system with false information, and improving seatbelt reminder and EDR data recording functions. The advantage lies in addressing existing seatbelt detection logic deficiencies with minimal software changes, without significantly increasing hardware costs, thus achieving substantial improvements in seatbelt reminders and after-sales EDR analysis.
