Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive human-machine interaction control technology, and more specifically, to a method and related device for visual interactive control of electric pedal status. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive intelligence and smart cockpit technology, electric running boards, as retractable devices installed under the car doors, can automatically deploy when passengers get in and out of the vehicle and automatically retract when the vehicle is moving or the door is closed, thus improving the convenience of getting in and out of the vehicle. Currently, electric running boards are usually controlled by an electric running board controller, and the operating status of the running board is monitored by sensors. When an electric running board malfunctions, the system generally only provides feedback through fault codes or simple status signals. Repair personnel need to use diagnostic equipment to read relevant information to determine the cause of the fault. However, the in-vehicle interface often cannot intuitively display the specific fault type and running board operation status, making it difficult for users to identify problems in a timely manner and increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0003] To address these issues, a visual interactive control method and related device for electric pedal status are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a visual interactive control method and related device for electric pedal status, in order to solve or improve the problem of lack of intuitive visual display of electric pedal operating status and fault information, which makes it difficult for users to identify faults in a timely manner and increases the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0005] In view of this, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for visual interactive control of the status of an electric pedal.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a system.

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention is to provide an electronic device.

[0008] A fourth aspect of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium.

[0009] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for visually interactively controlling the status of an electric pedal, comprising the following steps: acquiring in real time the system-level status and real-time action status of the electric pedal in a vehicle; determining a corresponding first prompt message and a human-machine interaction control strategy based on the system-level status; adjusting the availability of virtual buttons controlling the electric pedal on a screen in the vehicle through the human-machine interaction control strategy; displaying the first prompt message on the screen according to the current operation command of the user and the human-machine interaction control strategy; generating and displaying a three-dimensional dynamic display or a second prompt message about the electric pedal on the screen based on the real-time action status.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides a system comprising: an electric pedal controller for acquiring status codes of the system-level state and the real-time action state; an in-vehicle screen interactive control terminal for generating a first prompt message, a second prompt message, and updating the three-dimensional dynamic display based on the system-level state and the real-time action state; and a screen for displaying the first prompt message, the second prompt message, and updating the three-dimensional dynamic display.

[0011] A third aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the steps of the method described above.

[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described method.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows: By acquiring the system-level status and real-time action status of the electric pedal in real time, and determining the first prompt information, human-computer interaction control strategy, and three-dimensional dynamic display or second prompt information respectively, the status information that originally belonged to the low-level control layer can be directly transformed into visual interactive content on the screen, thereby improving the intuitiveness and understandability of the electric pedal status information.

[0014] Adjusting the availability of the virtual buttons for the electric pedals on the vehicle's screen based on the human-machine interaction control strategy ensures that the operation permissions in the interface are consistent with the current actual status of the electric pedals, thereby reducing invalid and repetitive operations in fault or protection states.

[0015] Based on the real-time action status, a three-dimensional dynamic display or secondary prompt information is displayed on the screen, which can intuitively reflect the unfolding process, retraction process, positioning result, and failure result of the electric pedal, thereby improving the efficiency of recognizing the progress of electric pedal action and abnormal results.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of embodiments of the invention will become apparent in the following description or may be learned by practice of embodiments of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-6 The following describes an electric pedal status visualization and interactive control method, system, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a visual interactive control method for the status of an electric pedal. In some embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S101: Real-time acquisition of the system-level status and real-time action status of the electric pedal in the vehicle; determination of the corresponding first prompt information and human-machine interaction control strategy based on the system-level status.

[0022] Here, the status information of the electric pedal in the vehicle is continuously collected. The system-level status is used to characterize the overall status level of the electric pedal, mainly reflecting whether the electric pedal is in a normal and usable state, a fault-limited state, or a protection-triggered state. The real-time action status is used to characterize the specific action process of the electric pedal, mainly reflecting whether the electric pedal is in the dynamic process of unfolding, retracting, positioning, or abnormal action at the current moment. By distinguishing and acquiring these two types of status, the overall status judgment of the electric pedal and the instantaneous action judgment can be separated, thereby avoiding the problems of inaccurate prompts or chaotic response of the in-vehicle screen when interactive control is based on only a single status information.

[0023] After obtaining the system-level status, the system further matches the pre-set status correspondences according to different system-level statuses to determine the corresponding first prompt information and human-machine interaction control strategy. The first prompt information is used to express the overall status of the current electric pedal in a way that is understandable to the user, so that the status information that originally belonged to the result of the underlying status judgment is transformed into directly perceptible prompt content. The human-machine interaction control strategy is used to determine the control method that should be adopted for subsequent in-vehicle screen interaction in the current system-level status, so that the display logic of the in-vehicle screen is consistent with the overall status of the electric pedal.

[0024] As mentioned above, by establishing a state input basis through real-time perception of the overall and action states of the electric pedal, the system-level state, which better reflects the overall availability and interaction constraints, is prioritized to generate the first prompt information and human-machine interaction control strategy. This enables the determination of the content displayed on the in-vehicle screen and the constraint of the interaction behavior, allowing the state changes of the electric pedal to be promptly converted into corresponding visual interactions.

[0025] Specifically, the corresponding first prompt message and human-computer interaction control strategy are determined based on the system-level state, including: When the system-level state is a fault state, determine the first prompt message corresponding to the fault state, and adjust the available state of the virtual buttons in the human-computer interaction control strategy to unavailable.

[0026] When the system-level state is in anti-pinch protection mode, the availability of virtual buttons in the human-computer interaction control strategy will be adjusted to the preset availability.

[0027] Regarding the specific description above, the electric pedal malfunction alert involves the EPC continuously sending feedback signals EPC_RightPedalSystem_Sts-0x1, 0x2, 0x3, and 0x6 to the ICC. Upon receiving these signals, the ICC will display a pop-up alert with the following strategy: When the EPC_RightPedalSystem_Sts-0x1 or 0x2 signal is received, a pop-up message will appear saying "Pedal malfunction, please check". The pop-up message will close automatically after 3 seconds. In automatic mode: the soft buttons for "Expand and Retract", "Automatic", "Temporarily Expand", and "Keep Retracted" are grayed out. If the soft button is clicked again, a pop-up message will appear saying "Pedal malfunction, please check". Click the OK button to close the pop-up. When the EPC_RightPedalSystem_Sts-0x3 signal is received, a pop-up message appears saying "Right pedal motor thermal protection, do not use", and the pop-up message closes automatically after 3 seconds.

[0028] As described above, the electric pedal control side continuously outputs system-level status information of the right electric pedal, which is then received and identified by the in-vehicle screen interaction control side. This ensures that the current status of the electric pedal—whether it is in a fault, protection, or restricted state—can be promptly transmitted to the in-vehicle screen interaction layer. In other words, the EPC_RightPedalSystem_Sts signal here does not reflect the instantaneous action of the electric pedal, but rather represents the system-level status of the electric pedal's overall availability and interaction limitations. Therefore, upon receiving this signal, the ICC does not first generate a dynamic demonstration of the action process, but prioritizes determining the first prompt information to be output and the human-machine interaction control strategy that the current virtual button should follow based on the corresponding status code. This allows the system-level status to be first converted into user-understandable status prompts and operation permission adjustment results, serving as the basis for subsequent in-vehicle screen responses.

[0029] Specifically, when the system detects that the right-side electric pedal has entered a fault state, it first directly conveys the fault fact to the user through an initial prompt, allowing the user to immediately know on the vehicle's screen that the electric pedal is no longer in a normal usable state. The 3-second automatic shutdown ensures that the prompt automatically exits after completing the initial status notification, preventing the pop-up from occupying the vehicle's screen for an extended period and affecting other displayed content. Based on the current fault state, the availability of virtual buttons in the human-machine interaction control strategy is simultaneously adjusted, switching the interaction entry related to electric pedal control from operable to inoperable. This further solidifies the system-level fault state into operational restrictions, preventing the user from continuing to issue control requests such as unfolding, retracting, or switching modes when the electric pedal has already malfunctioned.

[0030] Furthermore, even if the user attempts to continue operating the device when the buttons are already restricted, the in-vehicle screen will not execute the corresponding control. Instead, it will recall the first prompt message corresponding to the fault status again, providing feedback to the user on the reason why the device is currently inoperable. This forms a consistent closed loop between the fault status, restricted buttons, and prompt feedback, which avoids the user mistakenly believing that the system is malfunctioning due to a lack of feedback, and also avoids continuing to issue incompatible control commands to the fault pedal.

[0031] When the system-level status is characterized as motor thermal protection, the ICC no longer outputs general fault information in a general way. Instead, it generates a specific first prompt message based on the specific type corresponding to the system-level status. This clearly points to the motor thermal protection status itself as the cause of the current limitation, allowing different system-level statuses to correspond to different prompts. This ensures that the in-vehicle screen output not only tells the user that the electric pedal cannot be used, but also explains the specific reason why it cannot be used, thus improving the accuracy and understandability of the status notification. The prohibition prompt itself also corresponds to the limitation meaning in the current human-machine interaction control strategy. That is, in the motor thermal protection state, the system needs to clearly inform the user through the in-vehicle screen that pedal control requests should not be issued at this time, thus ensuring consistency between the overall availability judgment represented by the system-level status and the in-vehicle screen interaction behavior.

[0032] In summary, the EPC continuously outputs the current overall status of the electric pedal through system-level status codes, and the ICC converts the status recognition result into the corresponding first prompt information and virtual button availability control. This allows fault status or thermal protection status to not only be displayed, but also to simultaneously constrain user interaction, thereby realizing the linkage between visual prompts and interactive restrictions for system-level abnormalities of the electric pedal on the vehicle screen.

[0033] Specifically, the types of fault states include pedal malfunction and motor thermal protection, and the first warning information includes equipment status information corresponding to the type.

[0034] Based on the specific description above, the abnormal system-level states of the electric pedal are further subdivided, so that when the system identifies that the electric pedal is in an unusable state, it will not only handle it with a uniform abnormal conclusion, but will be able to distinguish the specific limiting causes corresponding to different fault types.

[0035] Specifically, pedal malfunction indicates that the electric pedal has entered an abnormal state that affects normal control or normal operation during the overall operation. Motor thermal protection, on the other hand, indicates that although the electric pedal is also in a restricted state that cannot continue to be used normally, the reason for the restriction is that the motor temperature rise has reached the protection condition. Therefore, by classifying the fault state into two categories, pedal malfunction and motor thermal protection, a correspondence between system-level abnormal states and specific abnormal causes can be established. This allows the generation of subsequent prompts to go beyond general abnormal reminders and instead output more targeted in-vehicle screen information for different abnormal sources.

[0036] Furthermore, after the system has completed the determination of the fault state type, it generates corresponding prompts based on the specific type currently identified, thereby directly converting the fault category identified in the background into a state expression information that the user can understand, so that the current abnormal state of the device can be clearly conveyed through the screen.

[0037] As can be seen above, a one-to-one correspondence is formed between the classification results of the fault status and the first prompt information, so that different fault statuses can correspond to different device status information, thereby improving the accuracy, pertinence and understandability of the screen prompts, avoiding the mixing of multiple abnormal situations and resulting in overly general prompts, and thus enabling the system-level fault identification results to more effectively support subsequent human-computer interaction feedback.

[0038] S102 adjusts the availability of the virtual buttons for controlling the electric pedals on the in-vehicle screen through a human-machine interaction control strategy.

[0039] Here, the availability of the virtual button for controlling the electric pedal on the in-vehicle screen is adjusted through a human-computer interaction control strategy. The state judgment result obtained in the previous stage is specifically implemented in the in-vehicle screen interaction layer, so that the current system state of the electric pedal can directly affect the user-operable interaction interface.

[0040] Specifically, virtual buttons are in-vehicle screen controls related to the operation of the electric pedal, located on the vehicle's in-vehicle screen. They function as interactive elements, allowing users to issue commands to expand, retract, or perform other control actions. Their availability status indicates whether the corresponding virtual button is currently authorized for user operation. Adjusting the availability status of virtual buttons through human-machine interaction control strategies essentially involves dynamically allocating user operation permissions based on the current system-level state of the electric pedal, ensuring that the operable range on the in-vehicle screen matches the actual state of the electric pedal.

[0041] Specifically, when the system-level state corresponds to a state that allows normal interaction, the human-machine interaction control strategy keeps the corresponding virtual buttons available so that the user can continue to control the electric pedals through the in-vehicle screen. However, when the system-level state corresponds to a specific interaction state after a fault is restricted or protection is triggered, the human-machine interaction control strategy restricts or switches the available state of the corresponding virtual buttons, preventing the user from performing operations that do not match the current state. This avoids the problem of misoperation, repeated operation, or inconsistency between the display on the in-vehicle screen and the actual execution result caused by continuing to issue control commands in an inappropriate state.

[0042] As mentioned above, by mapping the human-machine interaction control strategy corresponding to the system-level state to the specific virtual button availability state, a constraint relationship is established between the electric pedal state and the user interface operation permissions, so that the in-vehicle screen can not only display the electric pedal status information, but also actively adjust the user's interaction according to the current state.

[0043] S103, based on the current operation instructions of the personnel and the human-machine interaction control strategy, display the first prompt information on the screen.

[0044] Here, the user's current interaction behavior is correlated with the vehicle screen control rules corresponding to the electric pedal, so that the screen display content is not an isolated output, but is based on the combined effect of the current operation behavior and the current state constraints.

[0045] Specifically, the current operation command can be understood as the trigger operation performed by the user on the virtual button related to the electric pedal on the in-vehicle screen. This operation command represents the current interaction request that the user wants to initiate to the electric pedal. The human-machine interaction control strategy is used to limit how the operation request should be responded to in the current system-level state. Through the cooperation between the operation command and the control strategy, it is determined whether it is necessary to output the first prompt information to the user and what content to output.

[0046] Specifically, when the user's current operation command matches the current human-machine interaction control strategy, the screen can respond normally according to the current interaction rules. However, when the virtual button corresponding to the user's current operation command is in a restricted state, or when the control strategy corresponding to the current system-level state requires a status prompt to the user, the screen will display the first prompt information to provide feedback to the user on the current system-level state of the electric pedal, why the current operation is restricted, or why it is not advisable to continue performing the relevant operation. This ensures that the display of the first prompt information no longer depends solely on the background state itself, but is triggered by combining whether the user has initiated an operation and whether the operation conforms to the current interaction control strategy. This improves the relevance of the prompt information and the accuracy of the interaction response, avoids repeatedly outputting invalid prompts in non-operational scenarios, and also avoids the situation where the vehicle screen does not provide feedback when the user performs a restricted operation, thus preventing the user from not understanding the current state.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, by using the user's current operation command as the interaction trigger condition and the human-computer interaction control strategy as the display judgment basis, the first prompt information becomes a visual feedback result between the current system state of the electric pedal and the user's current operation behavior, thereby realizing the linkage between state restrictions, user operation and screen prompts.

[0048] Specifically, based on the user's current operating instructions and the human-computer interaction control strategy, the first prompt information is displayed on the screen, including: When an operation command is received regarding the virtual button, its availability status is determined. If the availability status is unavailable, device status information is displayed on the screen. If the availability status is available or preset to be available, the operation command is responded to according to the corresponding human-computer interaction control strategy.

[0049] Based on the specific description above, the user's current action is matched and verified against the current human-computer interaction control policy to determine whether the action meets the execution conditions of the current system-level state: If the available status is determined to be unavailable, it means that the current state of the electric pedal does not allow the corresponding operation to be performed through the virtual button. At this time, the operation command will not be actually controlled and responded to. Instead, the device status information will be displayed on the screen to provide feedback to the user on the reason for the current operation restriction through the first prompt information. This will make it clear to the user that the inability to perform the operation is not due to the vehicle screen being unresponsive, but due to the current state of the electric pedal. If the available status is determined to be available, it means that the current virtual button is in a normal interactive state, and the system can respond to the operation command normally according to the current human-computer interaction control strategy, so that the operation request initiated by the user can act on the corresponding electric pedal control process; if the available status is determined to be preset available, it means that although the current virtual button is not in a completely free operation state, it can still respond to the operation command within the scope of the preset interaction rules, so that the virtual button participates in the interaction in a controlled manner in a specific system-level state.

[0050] As mentioned above, it is possible to realize restricted prompts and feedback in the unavailable state, normal operation response in the available state, and regular operation response in the preset available state, thereby establishing the correspondence between the user's current operation instructions, human-computer interaction control strategy, virtual button availability state, and screen prompts or operation responses.

[0051] S104 generates and displays a three-dimensional dynamic display or second prompt information about the electric pedal on the screen based on the real-time action status.

[0052] Here, the specific action process or abnormal result of the electric pedal at the current moment is directly converted into visual output content, so that the screen display can not only reflect whether the electric pedal is in a certain overall state, but also further reflect the specific action that the electric pedal is currently performing and whether the action has an abnormality.

[0053] Specifically, the real-time motion status is mainly used to characterize the instantaneous changes of the electric pedal during operation. It corresponds to the dynamic execution result of the electric pedal in processes such as deployment, retraction, positioning, or failure. Therefore, compared with the aforementioned system-level status, the real-time motion status focuses more on describing the current motion process of the electric pedal. After obtaining the real-time motion status, it is necessary to first identify and match it to determine whether the current output should be a three-dimensional dynamic display to represent the motion process or a second prompt message to represent an abnormal motion result, so that different types of motion status correspond to different forms of display content.

[0054] Furthermore, when the real-time motion status indicates that the electric pedal is in a continuously changing motion process, by generating a three-dimensional dynamic display of the electric pedal, the motion status that originally belonged to the control layer can be presented on the screen in an intuitive and dynamic way, allowing users to directly perceive the current motion direction, motion stage, and motion progress of the electric pedal through the screen.

[0055] Specifically, the 3D dynamic display maps real-time action states to visual demonstrations corresponding to the actual actions of the electric pedal, transforming abstract action state information into continuous, observable dynamic in-vehicle screen displays, thereby enhancing the user's understanding of the current action process. Conversely, when the real-time action state indicates an abnormal result during the electric pedal's execution, a second prompt is generated, displaying the abnormality on the screen as text or a corresponding prompt. This directly feeds back to the user that the current action has not achieved the expected result, allowing them to promptly understand that the action state has changed from normal execution to an abnormal outcome. Based on the type of the real-time action state, it is processed in a tiered manner, triggering the 3D dynamic display when it pertains to the action process and triggering the second prompt when it pertains to an abnormal result.

[0056] As can be seen from the above, the real-time motion information of the electric pedal can be further refined into two different levels of interactive output: process visualization display and abnormal result prompts, enabling the screen to respond more effectively to the instantaneous changes in the electric pedal's motion.

[0057] Specifically, it generates and displays a three-dimensional dynamic display or second prompt information about the electric pedal on the screen based on the real-time motion status, including: When the real-time action state is in the retracted or expanded state, update the three-dimensional dynamic display on the screen; When the real-time action state is either retracted or extended, turn off the 3D dynamic display on the screen. When the real-time action status is either "retract failure" or "expand failure", a second prompt message is generated.

[0058] Regarding the specific description above, upon receiving the EPC_RightPedalSystem_Sts-0x6 signal, a pop-up message appears stating "Right pedal anti-pinch protection is enabled," and the pop-up automatically closes after 3 seconds. If the ICC receives other signals at this time, the ICC processing logic is as follows: Upon receiving EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x2 (Right pedal retracting), the ICC displays real-time 3D animation. Upon receiving EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x1 (the right pedal has retracted to its position), the ICC will disable the 3D animation display. The pop-up message "Right pedal retraction failed, please check" was received via EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x3 and closed automatically after 3 seconds. The system receives EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x5 (right pedal is unfolding) and sends it to the ICC. Upon receiving the data, the ICC displays the 3D animation in real time. Upon receiving EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x4 (right pedal fully extended), the ICC will disable the 3D animation display. When the EPC_RightPedalRealTime_Sts-0x6 signal is received, a pop-up message appears saying "Pedal deployment failed, please check," and the pop-up closes automatically after 3 seconds.

[0059] As mentioned above, under the premise that the system-level state of anti-pinch protection has been triggered, the subsequent action process and action result of the electric pedal are further processed according to the real-time action state. The retraction and unfolding states correspond to the three-dimensional dynamic display, the retraction and unfolding states correspond to the three-dimensional dynamic display being turned off, and the retraction failure and unfolding failure states correspond to the generation of the second prompt information. In this way, the correspondence between the real-time action state and the screen output form is established, so that the subsequent action progress, completion result and abnormal result of the electric pedal after the protection is triggered can be accurately converted into the corresponding visual interactive content.

[0060] In any of the above embodiments, the first prompt message and the second prompt message are displayed on the screen as pop-up windows within a preset time.

[0061] In this embodiment, the current system-level status information or real-time action status information of the electric pedal is output to the user in a short, intuitive software window with priority prompts. This allows the user to perceive the current status or action result of the electric pedal in a timely manner without having to actively search for interface content. The pop-up display makes the prompt content stand out in the current interface, thereby enhancing the visibility and reminder effect of the status information. By displaying it for a preset time, the current prompt will automatically end after the necessary status notification is completed, avoiding the prompt information occupying the screen display area for a long time and affecting the normal display of other interface content.

[0062] Furthermore, the electric pedal status visualization and interactive control method also includes: The human-computer interaction control strategy is updated based on changes in system-level state.

[0063] As mentioned above, continuously using the changes in the overall state of the electric pedal as the basis for adjusting the interaction rules ensures that the human-machine interaction control strategy does not act on the screen interaction in a fixed manner, but rather updates synchronously as the electric pedal switches between different system-level states such as normal interaction state, fault state, or anti-pinch protection state. This ensures that the availability of virtual buttons related to the electric pedal on the vehicle screen, the display method of prompt information, and the subsequent operation response logic are always consistent with the current system-level state. In other words, when the system-level state changes, the original human-machine interaction control strategy is no longer used, but the corresponding control rules are redefined based on the new system-level state.

[0064] This invention provides a visual interactive control method for the status of an electric pedal. By distinguishing between system-level status and real-time action status, it generates a first prompt message, a human-machine interaction control strategy, and a three-dimensional dynamic display or a second prompt message. This allows the overall status and specific action process of the electric pedal to be intuitively presented on the vehicle screen. The human-machine interaction control strategy dynamically adjusts the availability of virtual buttons and combines user operation to trigger prompt feedback, ensuring that the interface display content, operation permissions, and actual status of the electric pedal are consistent. This achieves a visual representation of fault status, protection status, and action process, improving the user's efficiency in recognizing the electric pedal status, reducing misoperation, and lowering the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0065] The second aspect of the present invention provides a system 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, system 2 includes: The electric pedal controller 201 is used to acquire status codes for system-level status and real-time action status.

[0066] The vehicle screen interactive control terminal 202 is used to generate first prompt information, second prompt information, and update the three-dimensional dynamic display based on the system-level status and real-time action status.

[0067] Screen 203 is used to display the first prompt message, the second prompt message, and to update the three-dimensional dynamic display.

[0068] This invention provides a system that, through the cooperation of an electric pedal controller, an in-vehicle screen interactive control terminal, and a screen, enables the timely conversion of the electric pedal's system-level status and real-time action status into corresponding prompts and 3D dynamic displays. This transforms background status codes, which are not easily understood by users, into intuitive visual interactive content. The system can promptly output corresponding prompts to the user when the electric pedal is in a fault or protection state, and can reflect the current action progress through 3D dynamic displays during actions such as extending and retracting the electric pedal, thereby improving the user's efficiency in recognizing the current status of the electric pedal. Furthermore, the system ensures that the screen display content is consistent with the actual status of the electric pedal, reducing misoperation and troubleshooting difficulties caused by unintuitive status information.
