[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] Nowadays, cargo covers are used in vehicles to provide privacy and meet the personalized needs of different customers, such as the need to cover and protect private items. However, some existing cargo cover control methods will automatically retract the cover when the trunk door is open but it is not needed, thus taking up space in the trunk and limiting the placement of large luggage.

[0049] Therefore, existing cargo covers have many shortcomings. For example, when the trunk door is open but the cargo cover does not need to be retracted, it will still retract automatically, taking up space in the trunk and limiting the placement of large luggage. In addition, the cargo cover lacks proper adjustment functions during its opening and closing, and cannot be adjusted according to the size or actual placement of items in the trunk, thus affecting its convenience and safety in actual use.

[0050] Based on this, this application provides a control method for a cargo cover, which can first obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle where the cargo cover is located, the item status of the items in the vehicle's trunk, and the operation status of the items, and then control the cargo cover to unfold or retract according to the vehicle status, item status, and operation status. This can comprehensively integrate the multiple states of the vehicle, the items themselves, and the items being operated on, and achieve precise, flexible, and automatic control operation of the cargo cover that can be started and stopped at any time, thereby improving the safety and convenience of using the cargo cover.

[0051] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a method for controlling a blindfold, which will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a curtain control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps S201-S202, which are described in detail below.

[0053] Step S201: Obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle where the cargo cover is located, the item status of the items in the vehicle's trunk, and the operation status of the items.

[0054] The vehicle status can include the vehicle's operating status and the trunk's open / closed status. Operating status includes whether the vehicle is moving or stationary, which can be determined by sensors installed on the vehicle. In this scenario, when the vehicle is moving, the cargo cover will typically remain open to prevent items in the trunk from being exposed. When the vehicle is stationary, the opening and closing of the cargo cover will be further controlled based on the trunk door and the contents. Furthermore, by detecting the trunk door's open / closed status, when the trunk door is open, the system can automatically determine whether the cargo cover needs to be retracted or left in its original position based on whether luggage is being moved.

[0055] The status of the items can include their position and size. It's understood that the placement of items in the trunk can affect the opening and closing of the cargo cover. If the item's height is higher than the cargo cover, the opening of the cover can be limited to a certain distance in front of the item to prevent obstruction or compression. Using cameras and infrared detectors, the relative position of items in the trunk can be accurately determined, providing a basis for precise control of the cargo cover. By recognizing the size of items in the trunk, when there are large items in the trunk and the cargo cover cannot fully cover them, the cover can automatically swing its head to a vertical position, providing more space for the items.

[0056] The operational status of the items can include actions such as lifting, picking up, and placing them. In some embodiments, the system can monitor whether the user is lifting luggage or other items to determine whether the cargo cover needs to be retracted. The system can identify user operational needs under specific conditions, providing automated control over the cargo cover's effectiveness.

[0057] In some embodiments, the vehicle status can be determined in the following ways:

[0058] First, obtain the current operating status of the vehicle;

[0059] Next, obtain the open / closed status of the vehicle's trunk;

[0060] Finally, the vehicle status is determined based on the vehicle's operating status and the open / closed state of the trunk.

[0061] In practice, the vehicle's current operating status information can be obtained through sensors inside the vehicle. The operating status typically includes two main states: a moving state, indicating the vehicle is in motion, and a stationary state, indicating the vehicle is stationary or parked. This operating status information determines whether the cargo cover needs to remain open or retracted; for example, the cargo cover should be open while the vehicle is in motion to protect the privacy of items in the trunk.

[0062] In some embodiments, the status of items in the trunk of a vehicle can be determined in the following ways:

[0063] First, image information of the trunk is acquired using an image acquisition device;

[0064] Next, target recognition is performed on the image information to obtain an image of the items in the trunk;

[0065] Then, based on the image of the item, the size information of the item and the position information of the item in the trunk are obtained;

[0066] Finally, the item's status is determined based on its size and location information.

[0067] In practice, real-time image data can first be acquired using an image acquisition device (such as a camera or infrared sensor) installed in the trunk. The image data can include the overall layout of all items in the trunk, providing a basis for subsequent identification.

[0068] After image acquisition, target recognition processing can be performed on the image data. Specific image recognition algorithms can be used to separate item information from the image, remove background elements, and extract only the images of items inside the trunk. This process typically uses deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to detect and label objects in the image, thereby obtaining an image of each item.

[0069] Based on the image of the item, the system can further calculate the item's dimensions, such as height, width, and length. Dimensional information is key data for determining the item's status, helping the system determine whether the item conforms to preset size standards.

[0070] Based on the relative coordinates in the image, the placement of each item in the trunk can be determined. This location information is used not only to determine the deployment or retraction position of the cargo cover, but also to adjust the cargo cover to accommodate the distribution of items in the trunk.

[0071] Finally, the system can combine the size and location information of the items to determine their status. For example, it can determine if there is any obstruction; if the item is large or located in the unfolding path of the curtain, the system will identify that the item may obstruct the normal unfolding or retraction of the curtain. It can also determine the stability of the item's placement; the location information is used to determine if the item is placed securely to prevent displacement or collision during curtain operation.

[0072] Through the above methods, this application can intelligently analyze the status of items, thereby reasonably controlling the opening or retraction position of the cargo cover according to the items in the trunk, optimizing the vehicle's user experience and trunk space management.

[0073] In some embodiments, the operational state of an item can be determined in the following ways:

[0074] First, image information of the trunk is acquired using an image acquisition device;

[0075] Next, behavior recognition is performed on the image information;

[0076] Finally, the operation status of the item is obtained based on the behavior recognition results, where behavior recognition is used to identify the user's actions of picking up and putting down the item.

[0077] In practice, an image acquisition device, such as a camera or infrared sensor, can be installed in the trunk to collect real-time images of the trunk's interior. This image data can reflect the distribution and location of items in the trunk and monitor the user's actions. The acquisition device is activated when the vehicle is stationary and the trunk door is open, providing clear image data for subsequent identification.

[0078] The acquired image information can be transmitted to the vehicle's processing unit, where image recognition algorithms are applied to process and analyze the information, focusing on recognizing user actions in the trunk area. Behavior recognition can determine whether the driver and other relevant users have performed actions involving the handling of items, such as lifting, placing, or adjusting the position of items. Based on changes in item position, hand gestures, and the relative position of items, the recognition algorithm can distinguish between normal door opening / closing actions and actual lifting operations.

[0079] Specifically, if the system detects that a user is lifting or moving items, it can further determine whether it is necessary to automatically retract the cargo cover to provide more space for the user. Conversely, if no lifting or moving action is detected, the cargo cover can remain in its original position to ensure that items in the trunk are properly covered, avoiding unnecessary adjustments to the cargo cover due to accidental operation.

[0080] Through the above methods, the embodiments of this application can achieve intelligent recognition of user behavior and judgment of the operation status of items, making the control of the blind curtain more flexible and intelligent, thereby effectively improving the user experience and meeting the blind curtain usage needs of different usage scenarios.

[0081] Step S202: Based on the vehicle status, item status, and operation status, control the deployment or retraction of the cargo cover.

[0082] Understandably, after determining the above status information, the vehicle's operating status (e.g., whether the vehicle is moving or stopped) and the opening / closing status of the trunk can be monitored in real time to determine whether the cargo cover needs to be deployed or retracted. For example, when the vehicle is stopped and the trunk door is open, the cargo cover can usually be retracted to facilitate the user's removal of items from the trunk.

[0083] In some embodiments, the placement and status of items in the trunk can be determined using image acquisition devices and behavior recognition algorithms, helping the system to judge whether the deployment or retraction of the cargo cover will affect the safety or convenience of the items. For example, if there are large items in the trunk, the cargo cover should be kept in a specific position.

[0084] In some embodiments, it can be determined whether a user is lifting an item by recognizing the user's actions of picking up and placing the item. This detection is crucial for the timely adjustment of the storage curtain. For example, when a user is detected lifting an item, the storage curtain can be automatically retracted to provide the user with more operating space to lift the item.

[0085] By employing the above methods, it is possible to flexibly control the deployment and retraction of the cargo cover in various driving and operational scenarios, thereby enhancing the user experience and convenience of using the cargo cover.

[0086] In some embodiments, step S202 may include the following steps:

[0087] First, when the vehicle status, item status, and operation status meet the first preset condition, the cargo cover is retracted.

[0088] Next, when the vehicle status, item status, and operation status meet the second preset conditions, the cargo cover is opened.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first preset conditions may include: the vehicle is stopped, the trunk is open, the operation state includes a target action on the item, and the retraction of the cargo cover does not affect the size and position of the item.

[0090] Under the first preset condition, the vehicle is initially stationary to ensure the user can safely operate the trunk without causing accidents due to vehicle movement. The trunk lid needs to be open to allow the user to easily access items and to provide space for the cargo cover to retract. Simultaneously, the operating status indicates that the user is performing a targeted action on an item, such as lifting luggage. The system needs to ensure that the user has a clear action to trigger the retraction of the cargo cover.

[0091] In addition to meeting the above conditions, the system also needs to assess the size and location of items in the trunk. Specifically, it can first determine the relationship between the items and the cargo cover's retraction path by using previously acquired image information to assess the item's position and size. If the item's position does not intersect with the cargo cover's retraction path, meaning the item will not obstruct the normal retraction of the cargo cover, the retraction operation can proceed safely. For example, if the item is small and located in a corner of the trunk, and the cargo cover's retraction path is clear and unobstructed, it can be confirmed that the item's condition will not interfere with the cargo cover's retraction, thus allowing the retraction operation to proceed. Once all conditions are met, a command can be sent to the vehicle's control components to initiate the cargo cover retraction process. This process can be completed automatically to reduce the user's workload and ensure that no items in the trunk are damaged during the cargo cover's retraction process.

[0092] Through the above methods, the embodiments of this application can realize intelligent control of the cargo cover, automatically retract the cargo cover under appropriate conditions, improve user experience and ensure the safety and convenience of items in the trunk.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second preset conditions may include: the vehicle is running, the trunk is closed, the operation state does not include a target action on the item, and the size and position of the item do not affect the unfolding of the cargo cover.

[0094] Under the second preset condition, the vehicle must be in motion to ensure that the cargo cover unfolds during normal driving, thus improving safety. The trunk door must be closed to avoid safety hazards caused by an open trunk while driving, and to ensure smooth unfolding of the cargo cover. Under this condition, the user must not be lifting or carrying luggage or performing other related actions to avoid potential interference or inconvenience to the user and their belongings during the unfolding of the cargo cover.

[0095] In addition to the above conditions, the system also needs to assess the size and position of items in the trunk to ensure they do not interfere with the unfolding of the cargo cover. For example, image recognition and position detection can be used to assess the size and relative position of the items. Figure 2 As shown, if an item is placed in the path of the cargo cover's unfolding, it means that the item's current position obstructs the unfolding operation. Conversely, if the item's placement does not obstruct the unfolding path, the unfolding operation can be safely performed. For example, if the item is of moderate size and in an appropriate position, such as placing it at the bottom or in a corner of the trunk, the cargo cover can be unfolded without obstruction.

[0096] Once all the above conditions are met, a command can be sent to the vehicle's control components to automatically unfold the cargo cover. The entire unfolding process is automated, eliminating the need for manual operation by the user and ensuring that no damage is caused to items in the trunk during the unfolding process.

[0097] Through the above methods, the embodiments of this application can automatically control the unfolding of the cargo cover under appropriate driving conditions, providing users with privacy protection services for covering items, and also improving the overall driving experience and safety of the driver.

[0098] In some embodiments, when a retraction or unfolding instruction is received for the curtain, if a first preset condition and a second preset condition are not met, the curtain is controlled to maintain its current position and a prompt message is issued.

[0099] In practice, it can monitor and receive instructions from the user or the vehicle's automatic control components. For example, the instructions may be to request the retraction or unfolding of the cargo cover, which usually comes from the vehicle's control interface or intelligent voice system.

[0100] Upon receiving the instruction, a condition check can be performed immediately to verify the current vehicle status, item status, and operational status. If the vehicle's current status does not meet the first preset condition (e.g., the vehicle is not stopped or the trunk is not open) or the second preset condition (e.g., the vehicle is not running or the trunk is open), it can be determined that the preset conditions have not been met.

[0101] If the first and second preset conditions are not met, the curtain in the unfolded or retracted state can be controlled to remain in its current position to ensure that the curtain does not move automatically in an unsafe or inappropriate manner, thus preventing unnecessary interference or risk to the user or items.

[0102] In some embodiments, a prompt message can be issued to the user, informing them that the current state does not allow the retraction or deployment of the cargo cover. This can be done through dashboard displays, audio prompts, or voice feedback from a smart assistant, with a message such as: "The vehicle is not currently in a safe condition. Please check the trunk or vehicle status before trying again." This prompt message enhances the user experience, helping them understand why the cargo cover command cannot be executed and ensuring they are fully aware of safety precautions during operation.

[0103] By executing the above control logic for the cargo cover, the safety and practicality of the smart cargo cover are effectively improved. It ensures that no control operation is performed on the cargo cover if the preset conditions are not met. At the same time, the clear prompts enhance the interactive experience with the user and can effectively prevent accidents caused by environmental factors, thereby improving overall driving safety.

[0104] In some embodiments, when the vehicle status, item status and operation status meet a third preset condition, the cargo cover is controlled to unfold to the target position.

[0105] The third preset condition may include: the presence of at least one first item in the path of the curtain's unfolding that affects the complete unfolding of the curtain. The target position is the location where the curtain's valance reaches a preset distance from the first item along the curtain's unfolding direction.

[0106] In practical implementation, the third preset condition is used to determine the unfolding position of the cargo cover, applicable to scenarios where there is a first item in the unfolding path that affects its full unfolding. Achieving the third preset condition requires the vehicle to be in a moving or stationary state, and the trunk to be closed, to ensure the cargo cover unfolds normally. Regarding the item's state, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when a first item is present in the unfolding path of the storage curtain, meaning an item will obstruct the complete unfolding of the curtain, the system can automatically determine the unfolding position of the storage curtain without requiring the user to lift or move it, thus avoiding interference with the first item.

[0107] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the target location can be determined based on the unfolding direction of the cargo cover as a preset distance between the head of the cargo cover and the first item. The position and size of the item can be calculated based on image information, and a reserved safety distance can be set so that the cargo cover can approach but not touch the item, ensuring the safety of the items in the trunk. For example, the preset distance can be set to 10 centimeters based on the characteristics and location of the item to ensure that the cargo cover approaches but does not press or block the item, avoiding the item being squeezed or damaged by contact with the unfolded cargo cover.

[0108] It is understandable that when the above conditions are met, the cargo cover can be precisely controlled by adjusting its motor or drive mechanism to extend to a position at a preset distance from the first item. This control logic coordinates image acquisition, distance detection, and motor control to achieve fixed-point stopping of the cargo cover and ensure its stable extension during operation.

[0109] It is also understandable that the above method of controlling the stopping position of the cargo cover according to the preset distance can not only ensure the blocking effect of the cargo cover, but also avoid interference with the items in the trunk, enhance the intelligence and ease of use of the cargo cover control, especially when the trunk is loaded with items of various sizes, it can realize the automated and precise control of the unfolding position of the cargo cover.

[0110] Through the above methods, the embodiments of this application can flexibly control the unfolding position of the cargo cover under specific conditions, ensuring that the unfolding and retraction of the cargo cover does not affect the items in the trunk, and improving the applicability and safety of the cargo cover in different usage scenarios. In some embodiments, the item information of a second item to be placed in the trunk can be obtained. If the size of the second item is larger than a preset size, when the vehicle is stopped and the trunk is open, the curtain head of the cargo cover can be controlled to swing to be perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

[0111] In practice, image acquisition devices or sensors can be used to detect the size information of the second item that is about to be put into the trunk in real time. For example, information such as the height, width and placement of the item can be collected to determine whether the item will affect the normal use of the cargo cover.

[0112] After collecting the item's dimensions, they can be compared with preset standard dimensions. If the second item's dimensions are larger than the preset dimensions, it can be identified as a "large item," requiring special adjustments to the cargo cover. It should be noted that this operation requires the vehicle to be stationary and the trunk lid to be open to ensure safety.

[0113] like Figure 4 As shown, when the above conditions are met, a corresponding control command can be issued to control the cargo cover's head to swing to a position perpendicular to the horizontal direction. This method of controlling the cargo cover's vertical swing position aims to provide more space for large items in the trunk, allowing the trunk to accommodate larger items without being obstructed or compressed by the cargo cover.

[0114] The embodiments of this application, through the above-mentioned automatic control logic, enable the applicability of the cargo curtain in complex usage scenarios, especially when the vehicle is stationary and large items need to be loaded, it can provide higher space utilization and user operation convenience for the vehicle's trunk.

[0115] In some embodiments, the information of a third item placed in the trunk can also be obtained. If the size of the third item is less than or equal to a preset size, when the vehicle stops running and the trunk is opened, the curtain head of the cargo cover is controlled to swing to be parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0116] In practice, sensors or image acquisition devices can be used to identify the size and position of a third item in the trunk. This information is then used to determine whether the item interferes with the normal operation of the cargo cover. The size of the third item can be compared with a preset standard size. If the size of the third item is less than or equal to the preset size and does not obstruct the unfolding of the cargo cover, then the vertical swing requirement of the curtain head can be determined not to be triggered. When controlling the swing of the cargo cover curtain head, it is also necessary to ensure that the vehicle is stationary and the trunk door is open, so that the position of the curtain head can be safely adjusted when items are placed or adjusted.

[0117] If all the above conditions are met, the curtain head of the cargo cover can be automatically swung to a position parallel to the horizontal direction. The purpose is to restore the cargo cover's blocking effect and prevent items already placed in the trunk from being unnecessarily blocked or bumped.

[0118] In this embodiment, the vehicle status of the vehicle where the cargo cover is located, the item status of the items in the vehicle's trunk, and the operation status of the items are first obtained. Then, based on the vehicle status, item status, and operation status, the cargo cover is controlled to unfold or retract. This allows for a comprehensive integration of the various states of the vehicle, the items themselves, and the items being operated on, enabling precise, flexible, and automatic control of the cargo cover that can be started and stopped at any time, thereby improving the safety and convenience of using the cargo cover.
