Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle electronic and electrical technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] When a vehicle is temporarily parked in complex road conditions (such as when there is no suitable parking space or when it is obstructing other vehicles from passing), a number plate needs to be placed so that other users can contact the driver to move the vehicle.

[0003] In related technologies, drivers typically place a number plate with their mobile phone number displayed under the windshield inside the vehicle. However, during vehicle operation (such as when turning or going uphill), the number plate may slip off or flip over unexpectedly. If the driver does not handle this situation promptly, the driver's mobile phone number cannot be displayed to others, causing inconvenience to the user. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling a vehicle, aiming to improve the inconvenience caused by the inability to display the driver's mobile phone number when the license plate slips or flips over during vehicle operation in related technologies.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a method for controlling a vehicle, the vehicle including a lighting module, the method comprising: when the vehicle is in a parked state, detecting whether a target pedestrian exists, the target pedestrian being a pedestrian who stays in a designated space surrounding the vehicle for a duration longer than a preset duration; when the target pedestrian is detected, acquiring a designated identifier of the vehicle's driver; and displaying the designated identifier of the driver through the lighting module.

[0006] Compared to related technologies that place a number plate with a mobile phone number under the windshield inside the vehicle, the technical solution provided in this application obtains the driver's designated identifier and displays it through a lighting module when a target pedestrian with a longer dwell time is detected in a designated space. On the one hand, since the lighting module is a fixed component of the vehicle, its ability to display the driver's designated identifier is less affected by the vehicle's movement, thus improving reliability. On the other hand, the lighting module can achieve different lighting effects, and even if the driver's relatives or friends temporarily borrow the vehicle, the lighting module can still display the temporary driver's designated identifier, making it convenient for users.

[0007] The lighting module includes an array of light-emitting units. The designated identifier for the driver includes the driver's contact information. The designated identifier for the driver is displayed through the lighting module. This includes: determining the target state of each light-emitting unit in the array based on the driver's contact information, where the target state includes either an illuminated state or an off state; and controlling each light-emitting unit to operate according to the corresponding target state to create a lighting effect that displays the driver's contact information.

[0008] The target state of each light-emitting unit in the light-emitting unit array is first determined based on the driver's contact information. Then, each light-emitting unit in the light-emitting unit array in the light module is controlled to work according to the corresponding target state. The light-emitting units in the light-emitting state combine to form the lighting effect of the driver's contact information, so as to achieve accurate display of the driver's contact information.

[0009] Before detecting the presence of a target pedestrian, the process includes: if the vehicle is in a parked state and a designated parking scenario is detected, an inquiry message is sent to ask whether to activate the target function; the designated parking scenario includes temporary parking scenario and / or abnormal parking scenario; the target function refers to the function of controlling the lighting module to display a designated symbol for the driver; after receiving a confirmation instruction corresponding to the inquiry message, the target function is activated.

[0010] When a vehicle is in a designated parking scenario, other pedestrians may need to contact the driver to move the vehicle. They can ask the driver if they want to activate the function of displaying the driver's designated mark through the light module. This allows the vehicle to activate the above function as needed, avoiding the need for the vehicle to supply power to the light module and saving the vehicle's energy.

[0011] Before issuing the inquiry information, the process also includes: obtaining the vehicle's environmental information, performing abnormal parking detection based on the vehicle's environmental information, and determining that the vehicle is in an abnormal parking scenario when abnormal parking factors are detected. Abnormal parking factors include at least one of the following: abnormal parking lines, abnormal parking location; or / and, determining that the vehicle is in a temporary parking scenario when a temporary parking signal for the vehicle is obtained.

[0012] By determining whether the vehicle is in an abnormal parking scenario based on environmental information and by determining whether the vehicle is in a temporary parking scenario based on temporary parking signals, it is possible to accurately determine whether other pedestrians need to contact the driver to move the vehicle, so that the vehicle can provide the function of displaying the driver's designated sign through the light module as needed.

[0013] After the target function is activated, the method further includes: displaying a first control, and after receiving a trigger signal corresponding to the first control, sending a specified identifier acquisition instruction to the driver terminal to acquire the specified identifier of the driver returned by the driver terminal based on the specified identifier acquisition instruction; or, displaying a second control to acquire the specified identifier of the driver input in the second control.

[0014] Furthermore, by providing two methods for inputting the driver's designated identifier, the system enables even temporary drivers to display the driver's designated identifier through the light module, improving the system's usability. In addition, after the vehicle receives the trigger signal corresponding to the first control, it can obtain the driver's designated identifier through data interaction with the driver's terminal, eliminating the need for manual input by the user and making the process simpler and more convenient.

[0015] The method further includes, after displaying the driver's designated sign through the lighting module, stopping the display of the driver's designated sign through the lighting module if the display duration exceeds a preset duration; and / or stopping the display of the driver's designated sign through the lighting module if a target pedestrian is detected leaving the designated space.

[0016] By ending the display of the light module when the display duration exceeds the preset duration, or when a pedestrian is detected leaving the designated space, the system can save vehicle energy by preventing the light module from working for an extended period and also prevent the driver's designated identification from being leaked to unauthorized personnel due to prolonged operation of the light module, thus effectively protecting the driver's privacy.

[0017] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a device for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle includes a lighting module, and the device includes: a pedestrian detection module, used to detect whether a target pedestrian exists when the vehicle is parked. The target pedestrian refers to a pedestrian who stays in a designated space surrounding the vehicle for a duration longer than a preset duration; a designated identifier acquisition module, used to acquire a designated identifier of the vehicle's driver when a target pedestrian is detected; and a lighting control module, used to display the driver's designated identifier through the lighting module.

[0018] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is used to store a computer program; and the processor is used to execute the computer program stored in the memory to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0019] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the electronic equipment described in the third aspect.

[0020] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] In related technologies, drivers typically place a number plate with their mobile phone number displayed under the windshield inside the vehicle. However, during vehicle operation (such as when turning or going uphill), this number plate may slip off or flip over unexpectedly. If the driver does not handle this situation promptly, they will be unable to display their mobile phone number to others. Furthermore, the number plate requires the driver to prepare it separately, and if a friend or relative temporarily borrows the vehicle, it is difficult to change the mobile phone number on the number plate, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0024] Related technologies also offer a solution: adding a touchscreen display to the exterior of the vehicle. When other pedestrians interact with the touchscreen, if the driver's vehicle key is within a designated range, the driver's contact information is displayed on the touchscreen. This solution, due to the addition of the touchscreen display, increases the vehicle's hardware costs.

[0025] This application provides a method for controlling a vehicle, applied to a vehicle including a lighting module. The method includes: when the vehicle is parked, detecting whether a target pedestrian exists, wherein the target pedestrian refers to a pedestrian who stays in a designated space surrounding the vehicle for a duration longer than a preset duration; when the target pedestrian is detected, acquiring a designated identifier of the vehicle's driver; and displaying the designated identifier of the driver through the lighting module.

[0026] Compared to related technologies that place a number plate with a mobile phone number under the windshield inside the vehicle, the technical solution provided in this application, when detecting a target pedestrian who has stayed for a relatively long time in a designated space, obtains the driver's designated identifier and displays it through a lighting module. Firstly, since the lighting module is a fixed component of the vehicle, its ability to display the driver's designated identifier is less affected by vehicle movement, improving reliability. Secondly, the lighting module can achieve different lighting effects, and even if a friend or relative of the driver temporarily borrows the vehicle, the lighting module can still display the temporary driver's designated identifier, providing convenience for the user. Furthermore, compared to related technologies that use a touchscreen display to show the driver's designated identifier, since the lighting module is a fixed component of the vehicle, no additional hardware is required, thus saving on vehicle hardware costs.

[0027] Example 1 This application describes a method for controlling a vehicle. Please refer to the embodiments described herein. Figure 1 The method includes the following steps.

[0028] S10 detects the presence of a target pedestrian when the vehicle is stationary.

[0029] A target pedestrian is defined as a pedestrian who remains within a designated space surrounding the vehicle for a duration exceeding a preset time. This designated space can be set by the driver, determined by the detection capabilities of the vehicle's sensors, or set by the manufacturer at the time of manufacture. For example, the designated space can be a geometrically shaped area enclosed by a closed curve, where the distance between each point on the curve and the vehicle is a predetermined distance, set based on experimentation or experience, such as 2 meters. The preset time can be set by the driver or by the manufacturer at the time of manufacture, for example, 1 minute.

[0030] In some embodiments, the vehicle detects the presence of a target pedestrian using detection components. These components include, but are not limited to, lidar, cameras, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, distance sensors, etc. Specifically, the vehicle continuously detects the relative position between the pedestrian and the vehicle using these components. Based on this relative position, pedestrians within a designated space are identified as candidate pedestrians. A timer is then started to run for the time a candidate pedestrian remains within a designated time period. If the timer exceeds a preset duration, the presence of a target pedestrian is confirmed. If a candidate pedestrian leaves the designated space within the preset time period, it is highly likely that they are simply passing by the vehicle and do not have a need to contact the driver to move the vehicle; in this case, the candidate pedestrian will not be identified as a target pedestrian. In some embodiments, before starting the timer, the vehicle may further acquire the candidate pedestrian's biometric information, which may include their body shape, face, etc. If the biometric information indicates that the candidate pedestrian is a child or the driver, the candidate pedestrian will not be identified as a target pedestrian, and the timer will not be started.

[0031] In some embodiments, the vehicle supports a sentry mode, which refers to monitoring for threats in the surrounding environment using external sensors and cameras. The sentry mode is activated when the vehicle is parked, and in this mode, the vehicle uses detection components to detect the presence of a target pedestrian.

[0032] S20: If a target pedestrian is detected, obtain the designated identifier of the vehicle's driver.

[0033] The designated identifier for a driver can be the driver's contact information, such as their mobile phone number, WeChat ID, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, the vehicle pre-stores a designated identifier for the driver locally, and the vehicle directly reads the designated identifier for the driver from the local storage. Specifically, the vehicle obtains the facial feature information of the driver who recently drove the vehicle, determines the driver's identity information based on the facial feature information, and then searches for the designated identifier corresponding to the driver's identity information locally in the vehicle.

[0035] In other embodiments, the vehicle acquires a designated identifier of the driver sent in real time by the driver terminal. Specifically, the vehicle sends a designated identifier acquisition instruction to the driver terminal and receives the designated identifier of the driver sent by the driver terminal.

[0036] The S30 displays the driver's designated indicator via a lighting module.

[0037] In this embodiment, the vehicle is equipped with a lighting module, which includes an array of light-emitting units. By controlling the light-emitting state of each light-emitting unit in the array, different lighting effects can be achieved. The lighting module can be an LED light comprising an array of LED beads. Optionally, the lighting module can be a high beam headlight, headlight, or similar device in the vehicle.

[0038] Displaying the driver's designated identifier via a lighting module offers several advantages over related technologies. Firstly, the lighting module is a fixed component of the vehicle, minimizing the impact of vehicle movement on the display of the identifier and improving reliability. Secondly, the lighting module can achieve various lighting effects, allowing it to display the temporary driver's identifier even when a friend or family member borrows the vehicle, enhancing user convenience. Furthermore, compared to related technologies that rely on a touchscreen display, the fixed lighting module eliminates the need for additional hardware, thus saving on vehicle hardware costs.

[0039] In some embodiments, the driver's designated identifier includes their contact information, the lighting module includes an array of light-emitting units, and S30 includes S310-S320.

[0040] S310 determines the target state of each light-emitting unit in the light-emitting unit array based on the driver's contact information.

[0041] The target state includes either an illuminated state or an off state. The driver's contact information includes multiple elements. The vehicle first determines the luminous area corresponding to each element in the luminous unit array of the luminous module. Then, for each element, it determines the target state of each luminous unit in that luminous area when displaying that element.

[0042] S320 controls each light-emitting unit to work according to the corresponding target state to form a lighting effect that displays the driver's contact information.

[0043] The vehicle sends a control command to the light-emitting module. The control command carries the target light-emitting state required for each light-emitting unit in the light-emitting unit array. The control module controls the light-emitting units with the target light-emitting state to light up and controls the light-emitting units with the target light-off state to turn off, so as to form a light effect that displays the driver's contact information and achieve accurate display of the driver's contact information.

[0044] Figure 2An exemplary diagram illustrates the illumination effect of the illuminated areas corresponding to some elements in the driver's contact information. The lighting module 200 includes an array of light-emitting units 210, where the black squares represent target light-emitting units 220. The array of light-emitting units 210 includes seven sub-regions: the first sub-region 2210 represents element "1", the second sub-region 2220 represents element "3", the third sub-region 2230 represents element "7", the fourth sub-region 2240 represents element "8", the fifth sub-region 2250 represents element "1", the sixth sub-region 2260 represents element "1", and the seventh sub-region 2270 represents element "2".

[0045] In some embodiments, after displaying the driver's designated identifier, the vehicle may also broadcast a reminder message to prompt the target pedestrian to check the driver's designated identifier displayed through the headlight module. For example, the reminder message could be "Please check the driver's number at the headlights in front of the vehicle." Since target pedestrians often have difficulty noticing the driver's designated identifier displayed by the headlight module, a voice prompt can be used to remind the user to check, thus preventing situations where the target pedestrian is unaware of the driver's designated identifier.

[0046] In some embodiments, after the vehicle displays the driver's designated identifier through the light module, it can also control the target light-emitting unit to flash, so as to further attract the target pedestrians to view the driver's designated identifier displayed through the light module, and avoid the situation where the target pedestrians cannot know the driver's designated identifier.

[0047] In some embodiments, after displaying the driver's designated identifier via the lighting module, the vehicle can also send a notification message to the driver's terminal to inform the driver of the presence of the target pedestrian. Furthermore, when sending the notification message to the driver's terminal, the vehicle can also send image information of the target pedestrian that it has captured, so that the driver can obtain more detailed information about the target pedestrian.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle stops displaying the driver's designated identifier via the lighting module when the display duration exceeds a preset duration. The preset duration can be customized by the driver or set by the manufacturer at the vehicle's factory. For example, one minute. The vehicle can set a timer simultaneously with the start of the driver's designated identifier display via the lighting module, and set the timer's timing interruption to the aforementioned preset duration. When the timer reaches the preset duration, an interrupt signal is generated, and the lighting module extinguishes all its light-emitting units based on this interruption signal, thus ending the display of the driver's designated identifier via the lighting module. By ending the lighting module's display process when the display duration exceeds the preset duration, the vehicle avoids prolonged operation of the lighting module to save energy, and also prevents the driver's designated identifier from being leaked to unauthorized personnel due to prolonged operation of the lighting module, effectively protecting the driver's privacy.

[0049] In other embodiments, the vehicle stops displaying the driver's designated identifier via the lighting module when it detects that a target pedestrian has left the designated space. The vehicle continuously monitors the target pedestrian using a detection module. When the target pedestrian's location is no longer within the designated space, it determines that the pedestrian has left the designated space. At this point, the lighting module turns off all its light-emitting units, thus ending the display of the driver's designated identifier via the lighting module. By ending the lighting module's display process upon detecting that the target pedestrian has left the designated space, the vehicle avoids prolonged operation of the lighting module, thus conserving energy. Furthermore, it prevents the driver's designated identifier from being leaked to unauthorized personnel due to prolonged operation of the lighting module, effectively protecting the driver's privacy.

[0050] Example 2 This application describes a method for controlling a vehicle. Please refer to the embodiments described herein. Figure 3 Based on Figure 1 In an optional embodiment provided by the illustrated example, the method further includes S40-S50 before S10.

[0051] S40: If a vehicle is detected to be in a designated parking scenario while it is parked, an inquiry message will be sent.

[0052] The inquiry message is used to ask whether the target function should be activated. The vehicle can display the inquiry message on the central control screen, send the inquiry message to the driver's terminal, and the driver's terminal will display the inquiry message as a notification message. The inquiry message can also be read aloud via voice.

[0053] In some embodiments, the vehicle detects whether a user is present in the cabin. If a user is detected, an inquiry message is displayed on the central control screen. Further, when the vehicle is parked, if a designated parking scenario is detected, the central control screen is controlled to display the inquiry message after the vehicle's gear is detected to be shifted to parking gear (i.e., P gear). If no user is detected in the cabin, an inquiry message is sent to the driver's terminal, which then displays the inquiry message as a notification.

[0054] The designated parking scenarios include temporary parking scenarios and / or abnormal parking scenarios. Temporary parking scenarios include, but are not limited to: detecting a temporary parking signal, or the presence of a temporary parking sign around the vehicle. The temporary parking signal may be a signal indicating that the hazard warning lights have switched to the on state. Abnormal parking scenarios include, but are not limited to: the vehicle being parked where there are no parking lines, part of the vehicle's body being outside the parking lines, the vehicle being parked on the road, the presence of a building's exit or entrance within a first distance from the vehicle, or other vehicles being parked within a second distance from the vehicle, requiring the other vehicle to yield to this vehicle when exiting. The detection method for temporary parking scenarios will be described in the following embodiments.

[0055] The target function refers to the function of controlling the lighting module to display the driver's designated indicator.

[0056] S50: After receiving a confirmation instruction corresponding to the query information, the target function is activated.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the vehicle displays inquiry information via the central control screen, a confirmation control is also displayed. After the driver triggers the confirmation control, the vehicle receives a confirmation instruction corresponding to the inquiry information.

[0058] In other embodiments, when the query information is displayed on the driver's terminal, a confirmation control is also displayed. After the driver triggers the confirmation control, the driver's terminal sends a confirmation instruction corresponding to the query information to the vehicle.

[0059] In some other embodiments, when the vehicle broadcasts an inquiry via voice, the driver can respond via voice. The vehicle performs voice recognition on the collected driver's voice information, and if a specified keyword is recognized, it obtains a confirmation instruction corresponding to the inquiry. The specified keyword can be "confirm," "agree," "open," etc.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 The diagram shows a first interface for displaying inquiry information provided in an embodiment of this application. The first interface 410 includes inquiry information 4110 "Whether to enable the light display mobile phone number function" and a confirmation control 4120.

[0061] The vehicle can update the status flag of the target function to enable the target function. Optionally, the vehicle enables the target function when the status flag of the target function is updated from a first value to a second value. For example, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1.

[0062] When a vehicle is in a designated parking scenario, other pedestrians may need to contact the driver to move the vehicle. They can ask the driver if they want to activate the function of displaying the driver's designated mark through the light module. This allows the vehicle to activate the above function as needed, avoiding the need for the vehicle to supply power to the light module and saving the vehicle's energy.

[0063] In other possible implementations, if the vehicle is detected to be in a designated parking scenario while it is parked, the target function is automatically activated without asking the driver.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer again Figure 3 Following S50, the method also includes S60 or S70.

[0065] S60, display the first control, and after obtaining the trigger signal corresponding to the first control, send a specified identifier acquisition instruction to the driver terminal, and obtain the driver's specified identifier returned by the driver terminal based on the specified identifier acquisition instruction.

[0066] The first control is used to trigger the vehicle to automatically acquire the driver's designated identifier. This first control can be a "one-click input control." The vehicle can send an instruction to the driver's terminal to acquire the designated identifier via a wireless connection. This wireless connection can be a Bluetooth connection. The driver's terminal then reads the driver's designated identifier and sends it to the vehicle. This method eliminates the need for manual input by the driver, making it more convenient.

[0067] After the vehicle obtains the driver's designated identifier, it stores it locally for later retrieval.

[0068] S70, display the second control, and obtain the driver's designated identifier entered in the second control.

[0069] The second control is used to trigger the input of the driver's designated identifier. This second control can be an input box, allowing the driver to enter their designated identifier via the numeric keypad on the central control screen. After the vehicle obtains the driver's designated identifier, it stores it locally for later retrieval.

[0070] In some embodiments, the vehicle may display either a first control or a second control simultaneously, allowing the driver to select how the vehicle obtains its designated identifier.

[0071] Please refer to this again. Figure 4When the driver triggers the confirmation control 4120, the first interface 410 jumps to display the second interface 420. The second interface 420 includes a first control 4210 to trigger the vehicle to automatically obtain the driver's designated identifier, and a second control 4220 to trigger the input of the driver's designated identifier. In addition, the second interface 420 also includes a numeric keypad for the driver to input.

[0072] Furthermore, by providing two options for inputting the driver's designated identifier, the system enables even temporary drivers to display the driver's designated identifier through the lighting module, thereby improving the system's usability.

[0073] In some embodiments, before executing S60 or S70, the vehicle displays a second query message to indicate whether to display the default designated identifier. If a denial instruction corresponding to the second query message is received, S60 or S70 is executed. If a denial instruction corresponding to the second query message is received, the default designated identifier is directly read as the driver's designated identifier.

[0074] In other embodiments, the vehicle acquires the current driver's facial image information, determines the current driver's identity information based on the facial image information, and then checks whether it has stored a designated identifier corresponding to the current driver's identity information. If it is detected that the vehicle has not stored the designated identifier corresponding to the current driver's identity information, then S60 or S70 is executed. If it is detected that the vehicle has not stored the designated identifier corresponding to the current driver's identity information, then the designated identifier corresponding to the current driver's identity information is directly read from the local storage.

[0075] S10, detect whether there is a target pedestrian.

[0076] The target pedestrian is a pedestrian who stays in the designated space surrounding the vehicle for a longer than the preset time.

[0077] S20: If a target pedestrian is detected, obtain the designated identifier of the vehicle's driver.

[0078] The S30 displays the driver's designated indicator via a lighting module.

[0079] In some embodiments, the vehicle further determines whether it is in a designated parking scenario through the following steps S80 and S90.

[0080] S80, acquire the environmental information of the vehicle, perform abnormal parking detection based on the environmental information of the vehicle, and determine that the vehicle is in an abnormal parking scenario when abnormal parking factors are detected.

[0081] Abnormal parking factors include at least one of the following: abnormal parking lines or abnormal parking location. Abnormal parking lines include the vehicle being parked where there are no parking lines, or part of the vehicle's body being outside the parking lines. The environmental information of the vehicle mentioned above may include images captured by cameras, and the presence of abnormal parking lines can be detected by identifying the images captured by the cameras.

[0082] Anomalies in parking location include: the vehicle is parked on the road; there is a building exit or entrance within a first distance from the vehicle; or other vehicles are parked within a second distance from the vehicle, and these other vehicles must give way to the vehicle when exiting. The environmental information for the vehicle includes images captured by the camera and obstacle information detected by the detection component. If the obstacle includes exit or entrance signs (e.g., doors, signs), and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the first distance, then it is determined that there is a building exit or entrance within the first distance from the vehicle. If the obstacle includes other vehicles, and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the second distance, then it is determined that other vehicles are parked within the second distance from the vehicle, and these other vehicles must give way to the vehicle when exiting.

[0083] The embodiments of this application do not limit the method for judging abnormal parking scenarios.

[0084] S90 determines that the vehicle is in a temporary parking scenario upon receiving a temporary parking signal.

[0085] A temporary stopping signal can be a signal indicating that the hazard warning lights have switched to the on state. In other possible implementations, the vehicle determines that it is in a temporary stopping scenario when it detects a temporary stopping sign within a third distance. This application does not limit the method for determining a temporary stopping scenario.

[0086] By determining whether the vehicle is in an abnormal parking scenario based on environmental information and by determining whether the vehicle is in a temporary parking scenario based on temporary parking signals, it is possible to accurately determine whether other pedestrians need to contact the driver to move the vehicle, so that the vehicle can provide the function of displaying the driver's designated sign through the light module as needed.
