[0033] Example 1

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle electronic accessory control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is mainly applicable to scenarios where, when the vehicle is not in motion, the vehicle's electronic accessories are actively controlled by identifying and detecting vehicle driving-related information. This method can be executed by a vehicle electronic accessory control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, optionally through an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, PC, or server. Figure 1 As shown, the method may specifically include:

[0035] S110. Obtain driving-related information of the target vehicle; the driving-related information includes at least one of the following: door status information, handbrake status information, vehicle gear information, air conditioning status information, brake pedal status information, driver's seat status information, and obstacle information.

[0036] Among them, door status information can be used to reflect whether the doors of the target vehicle are closed; handbrake status information can be used to reflect the parking status of the target vehicle; vehicle gear information can be used to reflect the driving status of the vehicle, which may include at least one of the gears such as P, R, N, and D; air conditioning status information can be used to reflect the use of the air conditioning; brake pedal status information can reflect the expected driving situation of the target vehicle when it is not in motion; driver's seat status information can be used to indicate whether there is a user in the seat of the target vehicle, especially whether there is a driver in the driver's seat; obstacle information can reflect the driving environment information of the target vehicle, and is used to control the target vehicle to drive directly when there are no obstacles.

[0037] Specifically, the status of the driver's cab doors can be determined by identifying the side door switch signals; the handbrake status and gear position can be determined by detecting the handbrake lever position or gear position; the air conditioning switch status can be determined by identifying the air conditioning switch position; the braking status can be determined by detecting the brake pedal pressure; pressure sensors on the driver's seat can be used to determine the presence and usage of the driver's seat; and radar sensors can be used to detect obstacles around the vehicle. By employing various sensors and / or radar to acquire target vehicle detection and identification information, driving-related information can be obtained. Based on this driving-related information, efficient, convenient, and accurate vehicle status detection can be achieved, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0038] S120. Determine the target driving intention of the target vehicle based on the driving association information. The target driving intention includes at least one of the following: no driving intention within a first time period, no driving intention within a second time period, intention to drive soon, and currently driving. The first time period is longer than the second time period.

[0039] The terms "no intention to drive within the first duration" and "imminent intention to drive" can be understood as the intention of the target vehicle not to drive for a relatively long period of time, such as 5 minutes or 7 minutes. "No intention to drive within the second duration" can be understood as the intention of the target vehicle not to drive for a relatively short period of time, such as 2 minutes or 1 minute. "Intention to drive soon" can be understood as the intention of the vehicle to start driving in a very short period of time, such as 10 seconds or 5 seconds. The durations of the first, second, and imminent driving periods decrease sequentially.

[0040] Specifically, by performing multi-dimensional fusion analysis of various detection information in the driving-related information, the target vehicle's driving intention under different detection information can be determined. Analyzing the target vehicle's driving intention through multi-dimensional detection information can improve the accuracy and reliability of vehicle driving intention detection. Based on the analysis results, timely control of the target vehicle can be implemented to enhance its intelligence level.

[0041] S130. Drive control is performed on the target electrical accessories in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention.

[0042] The target electrical accessories can be understood as various electronic control devices in the target vehicle that provide a comfortable, safe, and pleasant driving environment for the user. For example, electrical accessories may include at least one of the following: electric air conditioning compressor, heat pump system, braking system, electronic power steering system, electric seat, audio equipment, etc.

[0043] Specifically, based on the target vehicle's intended driving, the various electrical accessory systems in the target vehicle can be operated and controlled separately, so that the target vehicle's electrical accessories can meet the user's driving needs. During the vehicle's operation, the user can flexibly control the various electrical accessories in the target vehicle based on actual needs, thereby achieving more intelligent, energy-saving and user-friendly vehicle control.

[0044] In one embodiment, the target driving intention includes no driving intention within a first time period; the step of driving control of the target electrical accessory in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention includes: stopping driving the target electrical accessory when the target driving intention is no driving intention within the first time period.

[0045] Specifically, when it is detected that the target vehicle has no intention of driving within a certain time period, the driving operation of the target electrical accessories can be stopped when the target vehicle starts; or the driving operation of the target electrical accessories can be stopped altogether. By stopping the operation of the target electrical accessories, the consumption of power resources by the vehicle's electrical accessories can be avoided when the user is not driving the target vehicle.

[0046] In another embodiment, determining the target vehicle's target driving intention based on the driving association information includes: determining that the target vehicle has no driving intention within a first time period when the target vehicle's handbrake status information is in an engaged state and the driver's seat status information is in an idle state.

[0047] By detecting the handbrake lever position and confirming it is engaged, and by acquiring information from the driver's seat sensor, and determining that the driver's seat is occupied when pressure data is detected, the system can determine that the vehicle has no intention to drive for a given period. Analyzing the vehicle's driving intentions using data from different dimensions allows for accurate determination of the user's driving purpose. This enables the timely cessation of continuous operation of electrical accessories when no driving intention is detected within the first period, preventing unnecessary consumption of electrical resources.

[0048] In one embodiment, the target driving intention further includes an imminent driving intention, and the step of driving control of the target electrical accessory in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention includes: when the target vehicle is in an imminent driving intention, starting the target electrical accessory to run to a preset driving condition and then stopping, and driving the target electrical accessory to run cyclically at a second time interval, so that the operating state of the target electrical accessory continuously meets the preset driving condition of the target vehicle.

[0049] The second time interval can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., and the second time interval is longer than the first time interval.

[0050] Specifically, when it is detected that the target vehicle has no intention to drive within a second time period, the various electrical accessories in the target vehicle can be immediately activated to quickly run to the preset driving conditions and then stop. When the user is not driving the vehicle, the operation of the target electrical accessories can be cycled according to the preset second time interval, so that the working state of the target electrical accessories can continuously meet the preset driving conditions of the target vehicle. This allows the user to drive the vehicle directly in a short period of time or at any time, effectively improving the user's driving experience.

[0051] In another embodiment, the target driving intention further includes no driving intention within a second duration. Determining the target driving intention of the target vehicle based on the driving association information includes: when the target vehicle has no driving intention within the second duration and meets the second state switching condition, switching the target driving intention from no driving intention within the second duration to an imminent driving intention. The second state switching condition includes at least one of the handbrake status information being in a released state, the vehicle gear information being in a driving gear, and the brake pedal status information being in a braking state.

[0052] If, during a second period of time, the target vehicle shows no intention to drive, and at least one of the following state transition conditions is detected—the handbrake status changing from engaged to released, the vehicle gear information changing to a driving gear, and the brake pedal status changing to a braking state—it indicates a change in the target vehicle's intention to drive during the second period. This allows the vehicle's intention to drive during the first period to be switched to a second period of no driving intent. Furthermore, it can be understood that when the driver releases the handbrake and shifts gears, their driving intention may be to drive the vehicle. However, if they then apply the brakes to stop the vehicle, it indicates that the driver may no longer intend to drive. But with the handbrake released and gear shifted, the driver can start the vehicle directly within a relatively short time. Therefore, switching the target vehicle's intention to drive during the first period to a second period allows for more flexible and intelligent updates and adjustments to the target vehicle's driving intention status.

[0053] In one embodiment, the target driving intention further includes being in a driving state, and the step of driving control of the target electrical accessories in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention includes: when the target vehicle is in a driving state, driving control of the operation of the target electrical accessories according to the actual driving needs of the target vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, and easily understood, when the target vehicle is in motion, all its electrical accessories are already activated. At this point, these accessories can be specifically adjusted according to the actual driving needs of the driver or passengers to improve the driving experience for the driver or user.

[0055] In another embodiment, determining the target vehicle's target driving intention based on the driving association information includes: determining that the target vehicle is in a driving state when the target vehicle's handbrake status information is in a released state and the vehicle's gear information is in a driving gear; or, determining that the target vehicle is in a driving state when the target vehicle does not have a driving intention within a first time period, a driving intention within a second time period, or an imminent driving intention.

[0056] Specifically, firstly, the positions of the handbrake lever and the drive gear can be detected. If the handbrake lever is released and the drive gear is in drive, the vehicle is determined to be in motion. Alternatively, if the vehicle does not exhibit any of the aforementioned conditions of no intention to drive within the first time period, no intention to drive within the second time period, or no intention to drive, it can also be directly assumed to be in motion. Determining the actual driving state of the target vehicle from different perspectives avoids errors in vehicle status identification and classifies all non-stationary states as driving states, effectively improving vehicle safety redundancy.

[0057] The technical solution of this invention firstly acquires driving-related information of the target vehicle. This driving-related information includes at least one of the following: door status information, handbrake status information, vehicle gear position information, air conditioning status information, brake pedal status information, driver's seat status information, and obstacle information. By collecting multi-dimensional sensor information of the target vehicle, a complete vehicle status can be obtained, improving the accuracy of vehicle status analysis in complex scenarios. Secondly, the target driving intention of the target vehicle is determined based on the driving-related information. This target driving intention includes at least one of the following: no driving intention within a first time period, no driving intention within a second time period, imminent driving intention, and currently driving. The first time period is longer than the second time period. By fusing and analyzing data from different dimensions, the vehicle's driving status can be predicted hierarchically, and the vehicle's driving tendency can be determined in advance, thereby improving the response speed to user-driven vehicles. Finally, based on the target driving intention, the target electrical accessories in the target vehicle are driven and controlled. Different control strategies are adopted for the target electrical accessories under different driving intentions, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the electrical accessories and allowing for pre-activation of the electrical accessories, thus providing a comfortable driving environment for the driver and improving the driving experience. In summary, this technical solution, through data collection, status analysis, and strategy execution of the target vehicle, can provide users with an energy-saving, comfortable, safe, and relatively intelligent driving experience, effectively improving the driver's experience when the vehicle is waiting to move.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle electrical accessory control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is a refinement of the technical solution of "driving control of target electrical accessories in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention" based on the above embodiments. Detailed implementation can be found in the description of this embodiment. Technical features that are the same as or similar to those in the foregoing embodiments will not be repeated here. Figure 2 As shown, the method may specifically include:

[0060] S210. Obtain driving-related information of the target vehicle; the driving-related information includes at least one of the following: door status information, handbrake status information, vehicle gear information, air conditioning status information, brake pedal status information, driver's seat status information, and obstacle information.

[0061] S220. Determine the target driving intention of the target vehicle based on the driving association information. The target driving intention includes at least one of the following: no driving intention within a first time period, no driving intention within a second time period, intention to drive soon, and currently driving. The first time period is longer than the second time period.

[0062] S230. If the target vehicle has no intention to drive within a second time period, start the target electric accessory to run to the preset driving conditions and then stop, and drive the target electric accessory to run cyclically at a first time interval, so that the operating state of the target electric accessory continuously meets the preset driving conditions of the target vehicle.

[0063] The preset driving conditions can be understood as the target state required for the vehicle to drive normally. For example, the preset driving conditions may include at least one of the following: battery temperature not lower than 5 degrees Celsius, driver's cabin temperature between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius, and brake booster pump temperature greater than a set threshold. The first time interval can be 2 minutes, 1 minute, or other times.

[0064] Specifically, when it is detected that the target vehicle has no intention to drive within the second time period, the various electrical accessories in the target vehicle can be driven to operate to the preset driving conditions and then stop. The operation of the target electrical accessories is driven in a cycle according to the preset first time interval, so that the working state of the target electrical accessories can continuously meet the preset driving conditions of the target vehicle. This allows the user to drive the vehicle directly at any time within the second time period, effectively improving the convenience of the user driving the vehicle.

[0065] In another embodiment, determining the target vehicle's target driving intention based on the driving association information includes at least one of the following: when the target vehicle's handbrake status information is in the engaged state and the obstacle information indicates an obstacle, determining that the target vehicle has no driving intention for a second duration; when the target vehicle has no driving intention for a first duration and meets a first state switching condition, determining that the target vehicle's no driving intention for the first duration is switched to no driving intention for the second duration, wherein the first state switching condition includes at least one of the door switch information being in the open state, the air conditioning status information being in the on state, and the driver's seat status information being in the occupied state; when the target vehicle is about to drive and meets a third state switching condition, switching the target driving intention from the about to drive intention to no driving intention for the second duration, wherein the third state switching condition includes at least one of the handbrake status information being in the engaged state, the obstacle information indicating no obstacle, and the target vehicle not driving for a preset time.

[0066] Specifically, firstly, by detecting the handbrake lever position and confirming it is engaged, radar sensors can be used to detect the vehicle's surroundings. If obstacles are detected around the target vehicle, the presence of both the engaged handbrake and obstacles indicates the target vehicle has no intention to move for a second time period. Secondly, if, during the first time period, the vehicle shows no intention to move, and at least one of the following conditions is detected (door switch to open, air conditioning to on, driver's seat to occupied), this indicates a change in the vehicle's intention to move within the first time period, thus allowing the vehicle to transition from no intention to move within the first time period to no intention to move within the second time period. Finally, if, when the vehicle is about to move, the handbrake is detected to be engaged, obstacles are detected to be clear, and the vehicle has not moved for a preset time, it can be assumed the vehicle will not move for a short period, indicating a change in its impending movement intention, thus allowing the vehicle to transition from impending movement to no intention to move within the second time period. This technical solution continuously monitors various status information of the target vehicle, thereby determining from different dimensions whether the target vehicle has no driving intention within a second time period. This effectively improves the accuracy of the analysis of the target vehicle's driving intention and allows for a more flexible and comprehensive determination of the target vehicle's driving intention status.

[0067] The technical solution of this invention involves activating a target electrical accessory when the target vehicle has no intention to drive for a second period of time, operating it until a preset driving condition is reached, and then stopping. The target electrical accessory is then cyclically driven at a first time interval, ensuring that its operating state continuously meets the preset driving conditions of the target vehicle. This allows for continuous operation of the target electrical accessory for a relatively long period when the target vehicle has no intention to drive for the second period, maintaining optimal driving conditions and enabling the user to drive the vehicle at any time during the second period, effectively improving the convenience and comfort of driving.

[0068] Example 3

[0069] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle electrical accessory control device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a vehicle information acquisition module 301, a driving intention determination module 302, and an electric accessory control module 303.

[0070] The vehicle information acquisition module 301 is used to acquire driving-related information of the target vehicle; the driving-related information includes at least one of door status information, handbrake status information, vehicle gear information, air conditioning status information, brake pedal status information, driver's seat status information, and obstacle information; the driving intention determination module 302 is used to determine the target driving intention of the target vehicle based on the driving-related information, the target driving intention including at least one of no driving intention within a first time period, no driving intention within a second time period, imminent driving intention, and currently driving state, wherein the first time period is longer than the second time period; the electric accessory control module 303 is used to drive the target electric accessories in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention.

The target driving intention includes at least one of the following: no driving intention within a first time period, no driving intention within a second time period, imminent driving intention, and currently driving. The first time period is longer than the second time period. Through fusion analysis of data information from different dimensions, the vehicle's driving status can be predicted hierarchically, and the vehicle's driving tendency can be determined in advance, thereby improving the response speed to user-driven vehicles. Finally, the electric accessory control module 303 drives the target electric accessories in the target vehicle according to the target driving intention. Different control strategies are adopted for the target electric accessories under different driving intentions, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the electric accessories and allowing for pre-activation of the electric accessories, thus providing a comfortable driving environment for the driver and improving the driving experience. In summary, this technical solution, through data collection, status analysis, and strategy execution of the target vehicle, can provide users with an energy-saving, comfortable, safe, and relatively intelligent driving experience, effectively improving the driver's experience when the vehicle is waiting to move.

[0074] Based on the above-mentioned optional technical solutions, the electric accessory control module 303 may optionally include: a second electric accessory control unit. The target driving intention includes no driving intention within a second time period; the second electric accessory control unit is used to, when the target vehicle has no driving intention within the second time period, initiate the operation of the target electric accessory until a preset driving condition is reached and then stopped, and to cyclically drive the target electric accessory to operate at a first time interval, so that the operating state of the target electric accessory continuously meets the preset driving conditions of the target vehicle.

[0075] Based on the above-mentioned optional technical solutions, the driving intention determination module 302 may optionally include: a second time period no driving intention determination unit. The second time period no driving intention determination unit is used to determine that the target vehicle has no driving intention for the second time period when the handbrake status information of the target vehicle is in the engaged state and the obstacle information indicates an obstacle; when the target vehicle has no driving intention for the first time period and meets the first state switching condition, it determines that the target vehicle's first time period no driving intention is switched to the second time period no driving intention, wherein the first state switching condition includes at least one of the door switch information being in the open state, the air conditioning status information being in the on state, and the driver's seat status information being in the occupied state; when the target vehicle is about to drive and meets the third state switching condition, it switches the target driving intention from the about to drive intention to the second time period no driving intention, wherein the third state switching condition includes at least one of the handbrake status information being in the engaged state, the obstacle information indicating no obstacle, and the target vehicle not driving for a preset time.
