Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method and related equipment for controlling the cabin lighting environment. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for intelligent vehicles and upgraded cabin experiences, ambient lighting has become a crucial feature in modern car cabins, enhancing the driving and riding experience. Currently, ambient lighting typically uses LED bulbs or flexible OLED light sources as its light-emitting units, integrated into key cabin areas such as the center console, door panels, seat stitching, sunroof edges, footwell, and steering wheel, allowing for adjustment of light color, brightness, and flashing modes.

[0003] However, existing automotive ambient lighting systems primarily rely on traditional wiring to connect to the vehicle's CAN or LIN network, receiving signals from the onboard unit, body control module (BCM), and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to achieve scenario-based control. This wired connection method presents the following technical problems: First, it increases the number and weight of the vehicle's wiring harness, raising manufacturing costs and overall vehicle weight; second, its functionality is limited, with interaction methods restricted to traditional touch control or preset program control, lacking multimodal interaction capabilities and making it difficult to achieve deep linkage with the driver's emotional state; third, wired communication methods involve complex wiring, hindering flexible cabin layout design and subsequent maintenance.

[0004] In addition, the typical linkage logic of existing ambient lighting systems includes driving mode linkage (such as red highlight for sport mode, green gradient for economy mode, and blue breathing for comfort mode), safety warning linkage (such as side ambient lights flashing when ADAS detects lane departure), and air conditioning linkage (such as warm color gradient for heating and cool color gradient for cooling). However, these linkage functions are all based on wired network transmission, which limits the response speed and system scalability.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cockpit light environment control solution that can realize wireless communication and support multimodal interaction to solve the problems of high cost, low flexibility and single interaction method in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a cockpit lighting environment control method and related equipment. By employing star-flash wireless communication technology to replace traditional wired communication methods, and combining it with a multimodal interactive control mechanism, intelligent and wireless control of the cockpit lighting environment is achieved.

[0007] On one hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a cockpit lighting environment control method, the method comprising the following steps: Acquire multimodal control commands, wherein the multimodal control commands include at least one of touch commands, voice commands, or biometric commands; The multimodal control commands are sent to the cockpit light environment control system via the StarSpark wireless communication module. The cockpit lighting environment control system receives the multimodal control command, parses the multimodal control command to determine the lighting environment control parameters, which include brightness parameters, color parameters and mode parameters; The light-emitting unit is controlled to perform corresponding light effect displays according to the light environment control parameters.

[0008] Optionally, acquiring the multimodal control command includes: When a driver's touch operation is detected, the touch command generated by the touch panel is obtained. The touch command includes brightness adjustment information, color selection information, or mode switching information. Alternatively, when driver voice input is detected, the in-vehicle voice assistant can recognize the voice content and generate voice commands. Alternatively, when a driver's biometrics are detected, the driver monitoring system analyzes the driver's state and generates biometric commands.

[0009] Optionally, the step of sending the multimodal control commands to the cockpit lighting environment control system via the starlight wireless communication module includes: The in-vehicle infotainment system sends the touch command to the StarFlash central gateway; Alternatively, the in-vehicle voice assistant control system may send the voice commands to the StarFlash central gateway; Alternatively, the driver monitoring system may send the biometric command to the StarFlash central gateway; The StarSpark central gateway forwards the multimodal control commands to the cockpit lighting environment control system via the StarSpark wireless communication protocol.

[0010] Optionally, before the cockpit lighting environment control system receives the multimodal control command, the method further includes: The upstream power supply controller supplies power to the cabin lighting environment control system; When the cockpit light environment control system does not receive the control signal forwarded by the StarShine Central Gateway, the cockpit light environment control system is put into a sleep state. When the cockpit lighting environment control system receives the control signal forwarded by the StarShine central gateway, it controls the cockpit lighting environment control system to switch from hibernation mode to standby mode and start the system.

[0011] Optionally, parsing the multimodal control commands to determine the light environment control parameters includes: The multimodal control commands are parsed to extract the command type identifier; The corresponding control parameter mapping relationship is determined based on the instruction type identifier; Based on the control parameter mapping relationship, brightness parameters, color parameters, and mode parameters are extracted from the multimodal control commands.

[0012] Optionally, controlling the light-emitting unit to perform corresponding light effect display according to the light environment control parameters includes: Adjust the output brightness of the light-emitting unit according to the brightness parameters; Adjust the output color of the light-emitting unit according to the color parameters; The light-emitting unit is controlled to perform a constant-on mode, a breathing mode, or a flashing mode according to the mode parameters.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes: When a shutdown command is received, the light-emitting unit is controlled to stop displaying light effects; The cockpit light environment control system is switched from standby mode to hibernation mode.

[0014] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a cabin lighting environment control device, comprising: The first module is used to acquire multimodal control commands, which include at least one of touch commands, voice commands, or biometric commands. The second module is used to send the multimodal control commands to the cockpit light environment control system via the Star Flash wireless communication module; The third module is used for the cockpit light environment control system to receive the multimodal control command, parse the multimodal control command to determine the light environment control parameters, the light environment control parameters including brightness parameters, color parameters and mode parameters; The fourth module is used to control the light-emitting unit to perform corresponding light effect displays according to the light environment control parameters.

[0015] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a cockpit lighting environment control system, including: At least one processor; At least one memory for storing at least one program; When the at least one program is executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor performs the method described above.

[0016] On the other hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a processor-executable program, which, when executed by a processor, is used to perform the above-described method.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: This invention achieves wireless deployment of the cockpit lighting environment control system by replacing the traditional wired LIN bus communication method with a star-flash wireless communication module. This significantly reduces the number and weight of the vehicle wiring harness, lowers manufacturing costs, and simplifies the internal cab wiring structure, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility and maintainability of the cockpit layout.

[0018] This invention supports multimodal interactive control, including three modes: touch interaction, voice interaction, and biometric interaction. Drivers can control ambient lighting through touch operation on the central control panel, voice commands, or biometric recognition based on the driver monitoring system (DMS) (such as fatigue detection). This achieves the dual goals of "functional assistance + emotional atmosphere creation," improving driving safety and interaction efficiency, and optimizing the driving experience through scene-based lighting effects.

[0019] This invention employs SparkLink Low Energy (SLE) wireless communication technology, which features low response latency (≤50ms) and support for multi-task parallelism. It can meet the control requirements of scenarios with high real-time requirements, such as simultaneously handling multiple tasks like music rhythm and safety warnings.

[0020] This invention enables collaborative control of multiple devices through the StarFlash central gateway. The cockpit light environment control system is in a sleep state when it does not receive a control signal, and enters standby mode and starts up after receiving a signal, which effectively reduces system power consumption and realizes intelligent power management.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0024] It should be noted that although the device diagram shows a modular division and the flowchart illustrates a logical order, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the modular division in the device or the order shown in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the invention only and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0026] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known methods, apparatuses, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the invention.

[0027] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0028] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A cockpit lighting environment control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: S100, Obtain multimodal control instructions, wherein the multimodal control instructions include at least one of touch instructions, voice instructions, or biometric instructions; S200, the multimodal control commands are sent to the cockpit light environment control system via the Star Flash wireless communication module; S300, the cockpit lighting environment control system receives the multimodal control command, parses the multimodal control command to determine the lighting environment control parameters, the lighting environment control parameters including brightness parameters, color parameters and mode parameters; S400, according to the light environment control parameters, control the light-emitting unit to perform corresponding light effect display.

[0030] This invention proposes a cockpit lighting environment control method and related equipment. It utilizes StarFlash wireless communication technology to achieve wireless deployment of the cockpit lighting environment control system, supporting three multimodal interaction methods: touch, voice, and biometrics, forming a complete intelligent lighting environment control link. This method does not rely on the traditional wired LIN bus; it can adjust the color, brightness, and flicker mode of light in the cockpit through wireless communication, and is linked with vehicle functions (such as vehicle speed, music, and driving mode) to create dynamic lighting effect feedback.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a cabin lighting environment control system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The system adopts a "1+1" architecture, including one SparkLink wireless communication module and one ambient lighting control module. The cabin lighting environment control system integrates an SLE (SparkLink Low Energy) SparkLink module, which communicates with the vehicle's central SparkLink gateway via SparkLink wireless communication, replacing the original LIN bus communication method. The central SparkLink gateway, as the core node for multi-device collaborative control, is responsible for receiving control signals from different interaction sources and forwarding them to the cabin lighting environment control system.

[0032] The system architecture mainly includes the following components: The cabin lighting environment control system has a built-in SLE star-flash module and ambient lighting control module, which receives wireless control commands and controls the LED light-emitting units to perform corresponding lighting effects. Starlight Central Gateway: As the core node for vehicle wireless communication, it enables signal forwarding and collaborative control among multiple devices; Upstream Power Controller (PDCM): Provides power management for the cabin lighting environment control system; In-vehicle infotainment system (IVI): Receives touch inputs and generates touch commands; In-vehicle voice assistant control system: recognizes voice input and generates voice commands; Driver Monitoring System (DMS): Detects the driver's biometrics and status through in-cabin cameras and generates biometric commands.

[0033] In this embodiment, a cockpit lighting environment control system based on starlight wireless communication is first constructed. This system consists of a control unit with a built-in SLE starlight module and an LED light-emitting unit, which is connected to the vehicle network wirelessly.

[0034] In some embodiments, acquiring multimodal control commands includes: When a driver's touch operation is detected, the system acquires the touch command generated by the touch panel. This touch command includes brightness adjustment information, color selection information, or mode switching information. The driver can operate the system through the lighting effect adjustment interface on the central control screen or door panel touch area, which supports functions such as a color palette, brightness slider, and dynamic effect selection.

[0035] Alternatively, when driver voice input is detected, the in-vehicle voice assistant recognizes the voice content and generates voice commands. The driver can issue control commands via voice, such as "turn on ambient lighting," "switch to red," or "activate breathing mode," and the in-vehicle voice assistant control system will recognize the voice content and convert it into the corresponding control commands.

[0036] Alternatively, when driver biometrics are detected, the driver monitoring system analyzes the driver's state and generates biometric commands. The DMS system detects the driver's emotions or state through in-cabin cameras; for example, if fatigue is detected, it automatically switches to a cool-toned, high-brightness mode to refresh the driver, achieving intelligent light environment adjustment based on biometrics.

[0037] In some embodiments, sending the multimodal control commands to the cockpit lighting environment control system via the starlight wireless communication module includes: refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the bus signal interaction of the cockpit lighting environment control system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The transmission process for touch-based control signals is as follows: the driver performs a touch operation on the central control panel, the IVI system receives the touch signal and generates a touch command, which is then sent to the StarFlash central gateway. The StarFlash central gateway forwards the touch command to the cockpit lighting environment control system via the StarFlash wireless communication protocol.

[0038] The transmission process of voice control signals is as follows: the driver issues control commands via voice, the vehicle voice assistant control system receives and recognizes the voice content, generates voice commands and sends them to the StarSignal central gateway, and the StarSignal central gateway forwards the voice commands to the cockpit light environment control system via the StarSignal wireless communication protocol.

[0039] The transmission process of biometric control signals is as follows: the in-vehicle camera collects the driver's biometric information, the DMS system analyzes the driver's status and generates biometric commands, and sends the biometric commands to the StarSign central gateway. The StarSign central gateway forwards the biometric commands to the cockpit light environment control system through the StarSign wireless communication protocol.

[0040] All the above signal transmission processes use the StarFlash wireless transmission method, with a response latency of ≤50ms and support for multi-task parallel processing.

[0041] In some embodiments, before the cabin lighting environment control system receives the multimodal control command, the method further includes: The upstream power supply controller (PDCM) supplies power to the cockpit lighting environment control system. When the cockpit lighting environment control system does not receive control signals forwarded by the StarFlash central gateway, the control system is in a sleep state, the LED lights are not working, and the system power consumption is extremely low.

[0042] When the SLE module of the cabin lighting environment control system receives the control signal forwarded by the vehicle's central gateway, the system switches from hibernation to standby mode, and the system powers on and starts up, ready to receive and execute control commands.

[0043] This hibernation-standby mechanism enables intelligent power management, effectively reducing static power consumption while ensuring system response speed.

[0044] In some embodiments, parsing the multimodal control commands to determine the light environment control parameters includes: After receiving multimodal control commands, the cockpit light environment control system performs protocol parsing on the commands and extracts command type identifiers (such as touch command identifiers, voice command identifiers, or biometric identification command identifiers).

[0045] The corresponding control parameter mapping relationship is determined based on the instruction type identifier. Different types of instructions correspond to different parameter encoding methods. For example, touch instructions may directly contain RGB color values ​​and brightness percentages, voice instructions need to be mapped to preset lighting effect modes through semantic parsing, and biometric instructions are mapped to recommended lighting effect configurations based on the driver's state.

[0046] Brightness, color, and mode parameters are extracted from multimodal control commands based on the control parameter mapping relationship. The brightness parameter is used to adjust the LED output brightness, the color parameter is used to determine the LED output color, and the mode parameter is used to select constant light mode, breathing mode, or blinking mode, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, controlling the light-emitting unit to perform corresponding light effect displays according to the light environment control parameters includes: refer to Figure 4, Figure 4 The following is a flowchart of the control logic for the cockpit lighting environment control system provided in this embodiment of the invention. Based on the analyzed lighting environment control parameters, the cockpit lighting environment control system controls the LED light-emitting units to perform corresponding lighting effect displays: The output brightness of the light-emitting unit is adjusted according to the brightness parameter to achieve stepless adjustment from dark to bright. The output color of the light-emitting unit can be adjusted according to the color parameters, supporting full-spectrum color selection and gradient effects; The light-emitting unit is controlled to execute different light effect modes according to the mode parameters, including constant light mode (continuous and stable light emission), breathing mode (brightness gradually changes periodically to simulate breathing effect), and flashing mode (rapid flashing for safety warning).

[0048] During the light effect display, the system continuously monitors for new adjustment commands. If the driver adjusts the brightness or color, the system responds in real time and updates the light effect output; if the driver does not make any changes, the default brightness and color display are maintained.

[0049] When the system receives a shutdown command, it controls the light-emitting unit to stop displaying light effects and controls the cabin lighting environment control system to switch from standby mode to sleep mode, thus completing the light effect display process.

[0050] In this embodiment, the SparkLink wireless communication technology adopts the SLE (SparkLink Low Energy) mode, which features low power consumption, low latency, and high reliability, making it ideal for applications with high real-time requirements, such as in-vehicle cabin lighting environment control. Compared to traditional LIN bus communication, SparkLink wireless communication eliminates the need for physical wiring harnesses, simplifying cabin wiring, reducing overall vehicle weight and manufacturing costs, while also supporting flexible system deployment and expansion.

[0051] In this embodiment, multimodal interactive control achieves the goal of connecting vehicle functions with driver and passenger emotions through light as a medium. Touch interaction provides an intuitive manual control method, voice interaction enables convenient hands-free operation, and biometric interaction achieves intelligent automatic adjustment based on the driver's state. The three interaction modes work together to improve driving safety and interaction efficiency, while also optimizing the driving experience through contextualized lighting effects.

[0052] See Figure 5 This invention provides a cabin lighting environment control device, comprising: The first module is used to acquire multimodal control commands, which include at least one of touch commands, voice commands, or biometric commands. The second module is used to send the multimodal control commands to the cockpit light environment control system via the Star Flash wireless communication module; The third module is used for the cockpit light environment control system to receive the multimodal control command, parse the multimodal control command to determine the light environment control parameters, the light environment control parameters including brightness parameters, color parameters and mode parameters; The fourth module is used to control the light-emitting unit to perform corresponding light effect displays according to the light environment control parameters.
