Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a control method and device for reminding children to remember their presence in a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing affordability of cars, car ownership has grown significantly, and many families, especially those with children, prioritize driving for outings such as shopping and leisure trips. However, incidents of children being left alone or forgotten in cars are frequent. Once trapped, children are highly susceptible to unconsciousness and life-threatening situations. This is particularly true in summer, when the temperature inside a car rises rapidly. Children's body temperature increases 3-5 times faster than adults, but their respiratory systems are less heat-resistant. When a child's body temperature reaches 41.7°C, it can be extremely dangerous.

[0003] Among related technologies, a single sensor, such as millimeter-wave radar, infrared pyroelectric sensor or ultrasonic detector, can be used to make a preliminary judgment on whether there is a person inside the vehicle, and trigger an audible and visual alarm when vital signs are detected.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of this application will become apparent and readily understood from the following description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a child forgetfulness reminder control system according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a control method for a child forgetfulness reminder in a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a control method for a child forgetfulness reminder in a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a control device for reminding children to stay in a vehicle, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle provided according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] The following describes a control method and device for a child forgetting reminder in a vehicle, according to embodiments of this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Addressing the issues mentioned in the background art where the reminder level or system is insufficient, leading to drivers easily ignoring warning signals or forgetting the receiving device in the vehicle, resulting in children being left alone in the enclosed space for extended periods, posing a significant risk of danger, and exhibiting poor intelligence, thus impacting user experience, this application provides a control method for a child forgetting reminder in a vehicle. This method monitors whether a child is forgotten in the vehicle and issues warning information to the driver; it implements different handling measures for different warning intervals to prevent children from being left alone in the vehicle for too long, thus preventing danger; it continuously monitors oxygen concentration and temperature inside the enclosed vehicle to ensure that the forgotten child does not experience an uncomfortable environment; the system / method provided in this application is redundant, comprehensively assessing the state of the forgotten child in the vehicle and issuing different levels of warning signals to the driver for different emergency situations; simultaneously, when the driver does not respond, the system / method provided in this application can request assistance from backup emergency contacts or professionals to prevent the driver from ignoring the warning information. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as insufficient reminders or imperfect systems, which make it easy for drivers to ignore warning signals or forget the receiving device in the car, resulting in children being in a closed car for a long time, which is extremely dangerous. It also addresses issues such as poor intelligence and poor user experience.

[0023] Before introducing the control method for a child forgetting reminder in a vehicle according to this application, a schematic diagram of a child forgetting reminder control system according to this application is first introduced.

[0024] A child forgetfulness reminder control system includes a vehicle controller, a monitoring system, an early warning module, a vehicle lifting control, an anti-forgetfulness button, and a contact person, etc. A schematic diagram of the control system is shown below. Figure 1As shown. The monitoring system includes: engine start / stop information, used to monitor and confirm whether the vehicle is in motion, thus assisting in determining whether to activate the child forgetfulness reminder system. When the vehicle is in motion, it means that at least one driver is in the vehicle, and the child will not be alone in the closed vehicle; a door lock detection device, used to monitor the door lock status when the vehicle is stopped / turned off. When the door changes from locked to unlocked and then back to locked, it means that the occupants have exited the vehicle. It can also work with a time monitoring module to determine the duration of time an occupant has been away from the vehicle, or the duration a child has been left alone in the vehicle; and an oxygen concentration monitoring device and a temperature monitoring device working together to confirm the child's presence in the vehicle. The vehicle's interior environment is designed to prevent children from being forgotten. If the conditions exceed the limits required for a child's survival, an alert is triggered and transmitted to the next person in charge to help assess the child's condition. Seat pressure sensors detect occupancy and calculate weight to determine if the person is a child. Seatbelt buckle monitoring, along with the pressure sensors, confirms the presence of a child. An image monitoring system detects any children left behind and their condition. A duration monitoring module tracks the time between the alert and the pressing of the anti-forgetting button, influencing subsequent actions and monitoring the child's time spent inside the vehicle. The vehicle controller receives and analyzes information from these monitoring devices, transmitting processing strategies and methods to subsequent procedures. The anti-forgetting button checks for unlocking the vehicle and helps determine the time between the alert and successful prevention of child forgetting. Window control automatically lowers windows to open the enclosed space and prevent accidents when the interior environment is unfavorable or when an alert has been issued for an extended period. Contacts include the driver, emergency contact, and 110 (police emergency number) to prevent situations where the driver does not receive the signal or ignores the warning information.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for reminding children to stay in a vehicle, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method for the child forgetfulness reminder in this vehicle includes the following steps: In step S201, when the vehicle is stopped and the vehicle doors are locked, it is detected whether there is a child inside the vehicle.

[0027] In this embodiment, it can first determine whether the vehicle is in a stopped / turned-off state and whether the doors are locked. If the vehicle is stopped and the doors are locked, then it can monitor and determine whether there are children inside the vehicle.

[0028] This application embodiment can eliminate non-risk scenarios such as the vehicle being in motion or temporarily parked without being locked by using the dual prerequisites of the vehicle being stopped and the doors being locked, thereby accurately identifying risk scenarios and preventing accidental triggering.

[0029] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, detecting whether a child is in the vehicle includes: detecting the weight borne by the vehicle seat and determining whether a child is in the vehicle based on the weight borne by the seat; and / or detecting whether the target seat belt corresponding to the vehicle seat is in a locked state and determining whether a child is in the vehicle based on the locked state; and / or acquiring image information inside the vehicle and determining whether a child is in the vehicle based on the image information.

[0030] It is understood that the weight borne by the seat in this embodiment can be detected by the seat's built-in pressure sensor, the seat belt locking status can be detected by the seat belt buckle monitoring device, and the image information inside the vehicle can be detected by the image monitoring device.

[0031] In actual implementation, embodiments of this application can use a pressure sensor built into the seat to determine whether someone is sitting in the seat and calculate the corresponding weight to determine the weight of the occupant in the seat, and whether the occupant is a child; and / or, embodiments of this application can use a seat belt buckle monitoring device and a pressure sensor to assist in confirming whether there is a child in the seat, by detecting whether the target seat belt corresponding to the vehicle seat is in a locked state, and determining whether there is a child in the vehicle based on the locked state; and / or, embodiments of this application can use an image monitoring device to determine whether there is a child left in the vehicle and their state, by acquiring image information inside the vehicle, and determining whether there is a child in the vehicle based on the image information.

[0032] The embodiments of this application can employ a multi-combination detection method, including seat weight detection, seat belt locking status detection, and in-vehicle image information detection, to improve the accuracy, reliability, and scene adaptability of child recognition.

[0033] In step S202, in response to the presence of a child in the vehicle, a Level 1 warning message is generated, and the vehicle is controlled to perform a Level 1 child forgetting warning action based on the Level 1 warning message. The warning time interval from the issuance of the Level 1 warning message to the pressing of the anti-forgetting button is also calculated.

[0034] It is understood that the Level 1 warning information in this application embodiment is an initial safety reminder to the driver; the Level 1 warning action is the basic warning execution method corresponding to the Level 1 warning information, and its core purpose is to remind the driver as soon as possible that a child may have been forgotten in the car.

[0035] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can determine that when there is a child alone in the vehicle, it is considered that the child has been forgotten by the driver. In the initial stage of confirming the risk of leaving the child behind, a first-level warning message is immediately sent to the driver, such as through mobile APP push notification, vehicle horn, flashing lights, etc. The time interval between the issuance of the warning message and the pressing of the anti-forgetting button is calculated to avoid the child being trapped for a longer period of time due to warning delay. The timing benchmark is clearly defined, providing an accurate basis for graded warning.

[0036] This application can implement different levels and methods of execution strategies for different warning time intervals, or the continuous time interval inside a closed vehicle, making it more intelligent.

[0037] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, before generating a secondary warning message in response to the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceeding preset safety conditions, or the warning time interval being greater than a first preset time threshold and less than or equal to a second preset time threshold, the method further includes: collecting oxygen concentration parameters inside the vehicle and collecting temperature parameters inside the vehicle; and determining the environmental conditions inside the vehicle based on the oxygen concentration parameters and temperature parameters.

[0038] It is understood that the oxygen concentration parameter in the embodiments of this application can be obtained by monitoring the oxygen concentration device, and the temperature parameter can be obtained by monitoring the temperature device.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the oxygen concentration monitoring device and the temperature monitoring device are used together to confirm the living environment inside the closed vehicle, monitor and judge the environmental status inside the vehicle (oxygen concentration, temperature inside the vehicle, etc.), confirm the environmental status inside the closed vehicle, capture the trend of environmental deterioration, and avoid missing any cases where the environment has endangered life before the time has come. It has a high degree of intelligence.

[0040] This application includes multiple monitoring devices that can comprehensively monitor whether there is a forgotten child in the vehicle, the environmental conditions inside the vehicle where the child was forgotten, and the duration of the child's absence in the closed vehicle, enabling more accurate judgment and the implementation of better and faster solutions.

[0041] In step S203, in response to the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceeding the preset safety conditions, or the warning time interval being greater than the first preset time threshold and less than or equal to the second preset time threshold, a secondary warning message is generated, and the vehicle is controlled to perform a secondary child forgetting warning action based on the secondary warning message. In response to the warning time interval being greater than the second preset time threshold, a tertiary warning message is generated, and the vehicle is controlled to perform a tertiary child forgetting warning action based on the tertiary warning message.

[0042] It is understood that the first preset time threshold in this application embodiment can be 20 minutes, and the second preset time threshold can be 40 minutes; the preset safety condition can be whether the in-vehicle environment is suitable.

[0043] In actual implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment can generate a secondary warning message when the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceed suitable conditions, and control the vehicle to execute a secondary child forgetting warning action based on the secondary warning message to issue a stronger warning message to the driver, opening the window by 1-2 cm. Alternatively, this application embodiment can issue a stronger warning message to the driver and open the window by 1-2 cm when the warning interval is greater than 20 minutes and less than or equal to 40 minutes. Furthermore, this application embodiment can generate a tertiary warning message when the warning interval is greater than 40 minutes, and control the vehicle to execute a tertiary child forgetting warning action based on the tertiary warning message to issue warning messages to other emergency contacts in sequence, and simultaneously send the child's situation and location information inside the vehicle to them, while also calling the police for help to prevent danger. This application does not only rely on the driver's response. If the driver's location has poor signal or selectively ignores the warning message, after a long time, they will actively seek help from emergency contacts and nearby police (110).

[0044] This application can monitor and warn of whether there are children inside the vehicle when the vehicle is locked, preventing children from being left alone in a closed vehicle and thus avoiding children staying in a closed vehicle for too long, which could lead to dangerous situations.

[0045] It should be noted that this application allows for lowering the car window by approximately 1-2 centimeters when the warning interval is greater than 20 minutes and less than or equal to 40 minutes. The window should not be lowered excessively to prevent other hazards. Simultaneously, the warning interval should be continuously assessed, as the temperature inside a closed car increases over time. It is generally believed that the temperature inside a closed car will rise by about 7°C after 20 minutes and by about 16°C after 40 minutes. Therefore, using these two time intervals as criteria and implementing different strategies allows for more comprehensive reminders and removal of enclosed spaces.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, in response to the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceeding preset safety conditions, or the warning time interval being greater than a first preset time threshold and less than or equal to a second preset time threshold, a secondary warning message is generated, and the vehicle is controlled to perform a secondary child forgetting warning action based on the secondary warning message, including: in response to the environmental conditions exceeding preset safety conditions, or in response to the environmental conditions not exceeding preset safety conditions and the warning time interval being greater than the first preset time threshold and less than or equal to the second preset time threshold, a secondary warning message is generated, and a secondary child forgetting warning action is performed based on the secondary warning message, to send the secondary warning message to the driver, and control the vehicle windows to descend to a preset safe ventilation height.

[0047] It is understood that the preset safe ventilation height in this application embodiment can be the ventilation height of a car window that is 1-2 centimeters open.

[0048] In actual implementation, this embodiment of the application can, when the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceed suitable conditions, execute a secondary child forgetfulness warning action based on the secondary warning information, issuing a stronger warning to the driver and opening the car window by 1-2 centimeters. Alternatively, this embodiment of the application can, when the warning interval is greater than 20 minutes and less than or equal to 40 minutes, execute a secondary child forgetfulness warning action based on the secondary warning information, issuing a stronger warning to the driver and opening the car window by 1-2 centimeters.

[0049] Compared to the first-level warning, the second-level warning in this embodiment can achieve multi-channel collaborative delivery of stronger warning information, while ensuring safe control of window opening.

[0050] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, in response to a warning time interval greater than a second preset time threshold, a level 3 warning message is generated, and the vehicle is controlled to perform a level 3 child forgetfulness warning action based on the level 3 warning message, including: in response to a warning time interval greater than the second preset time threshold, a level 3 warning message is generated to send the level 3 warning message to the target user, and an alarm request containing the real-time location of the vehicle is sent to the public safety emergency platform.

[0051] In actual implementation, this application embodiment can generate a three-level warning message when the warning interval is greater than 40 minutes, and control the vehicle to perform a three-level child forgetting warning action based on the three-level warning message, so as to send warning messages to other emergency contacts in sequence, ensuring that the emergency contacts are pushed in the order preset by the driver, such as the first emergency contact, the second emergency contact, etc., to avoid information confusion caused by simultaneous bombardment, and simultaneously send the situation and location information of the child in the vehicle to the public safety emergency platform to trigger an alarm.

[0052] In this embodiment, if the first emergency contact fails to confirm receipt and processing via the APP within 1 minute, the system will automatically push the same information to the second emergency contact; if none of the emergency contacts respond within 3 minutes, the system will resend the information to ensure that no warning is missed.

[0053] The control method for child forgetting reminders in vehicles proposed in this application can monitor whether a child is forgotten in the vehicle and issue warning information to the driver. Different handling measures can be implemented for different warning time intervals to prevent children from being left alone in the vehicle for too long, leading to danger. The oxygen concentration and temperature inside the enclosed vehicle can be continuously monitored to ensure that the forgotten child does not experience an uncomfortable environment. The system / method provided in this application has redundancy and can comprehensively judge the state of the forgotten child in the vehicle, issuing different levels of warning signals to the driver for different emergency situations. Simultaneously, when the driver does not respond, the system / method provided in this application can request assistance from backup emergency contacts or professionals to prevent the driver from ignoring the warning information. Therefore, this solves the problems of insufficient reminder levels or system perfection in related technologies, which lead to drivers easily ignoring warning signals or directly forgetting the receiving device in the vehicle, resulting in children being left alone in the enclosed vehicle for extended periods, which is highly dangerous, and the poor intelligence of the system negatively impacts the user experience.

[0054] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, a control device for reminding children to stay in a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0055] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the control device for reminding children to forget their parents inside a vehicle, according to an embodiment of this application.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the child forgetting reminder control device 10 in the vehicle includes: a detection module 100, a calculation module 200, and a reminder control module 300.

[0057] Specifically, the detection module 100 is used to detect whether there is a child inside the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped and the vehicle doors are locked.

[0058] The calculation module 200 is used to generate a first-level warning message in response to the presence of a child in the vehicle, and to control the vehicle to perform a first-level child forgetting warning action based on the first-level warning message, and to calculate the warning time interval from the issuance of the first-level warning message to the pressing of the anti-forgetting button.

[0059] The reminder control module 300 is used to generate a secondary warning message in response to the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceeding the preset safety conditions, or the warning time interval being greater than the first preset time threshold and less than or equal to the second preset time threshold, and to control the vehicle to perform a secondary child forgetting warning action based on the secondary warning message. In response to the warning time interval being greater than the second preset time threshold, it generates a tertiary warning message and controls the vehicle to perform a tertiary child forgetting warning action based on the tertiary warning message.

[0060] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the detection module 100 includes: The weight detection unit is used to detect the weight borne by the vehicle's seats and determine whether there are children in the vehicle based on the weight borne by the seats.

[0061] And / or, a locking detection unit is used to detect whether the target seat belt corresponding to the vehicle seat is locked, and to determine whether there is a child in the vehicle based on the locking status.

[0062] And / or, an image detection unit, used to acquire image information inside the vehicle and determine whether a child is inside the vehicle based on the image information.

[0063] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a data acquisition module and a determination module.

[0064] The data acquisition module is used to collect oxygen concentration parameters and temperature parameters inside the vehicle before generating a secondary warning message when the environmental conditions inside the vehicle exceed preset safety conditions, or when the warning time interval is greater than a first preset time threshold and less than or equal to a second preset time threshold.

[0065] The determination module is used to determine the environmental conditions inside the vehicle based on oxygen concentration and temperature parameters.

[0066] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the reminder control module 300 includes: a first reminder control unit.

[0067] The first reminder control unit is used to generate a secondary warning message in response to the environmental condition exceeding the preset safety conditions, or in response to the environmental condition not exceeding the preset safety conditions and the warning time interval being greater than the first preset time threshold and less than or equal to the second preset time threshold. The unit then executes a secondary child forgetfulness warning action based on the secondary warning message to send the secondary warning message to the driver and control the vehicle windows to descend to a preset safe ventilation height.

[0068] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the reminder control module 300 includes: a second reminder control unit.

[0069] The second alert control unit is used to generate a level 3 alert message in response to a warning time interval exceeding a second preset time threshold, to send the level 3 alert message to the target user, and to send an alarm request containing the real-time location of the vehicle to the public safety emergency platform.

[0070] It should be noted that the explanation of the aforementioned control method embodiment for reminding children to stay in a vehicle also applies to the control device for reminding children to stay in a vehicle in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0071] The control device for reminding drivers to avoid leaving children in vehicles, as proposed in this application, can monitor whether a child is left in the vehicle and issue warnings to the driver. It can implement different handling measures for different warning time intervals to prevent children from being left alone in the vehicle for extended periods, thus preventing potential dangers. It can continuously monitor oxygen concentration and temperature inside the enclosed vehicle to ensure that the forgotten child does not experience an uncomfortable environment. The system / method provided in this application has redundancy and can comprehensively assess the state of the forgotten child in the vehicle, issuing different levels of warning signals to the driver for different emergency situations. Furthermore, if the driver does not respond, the system / method can request assistance from backup emergency contacts or professionals to prevent the driver from ignoring the warning information. Therefore, this solves the problems of insufficient warning levels or system perfection in related technologies, which lead to drivers easily ignoring warning signals or forgetting the receiving device in the vehicle, resulting in children being left in enclosed vehicles for extended periods, posing a high risk of danger, and exhibiting poor intelligence, thus affecting the user experience.
