[0049] In low ambient temperatures, vehicles may be covered in snow, ice, or at extremely low temperatures after snowfall. Drivers may encounter the following problems when attempting to drive: 1. Obstructed Visibility: Snow-covered or frozen windshields severely impair the driver's visibility. Clearing snow or ice is a necessary step before departure to ensure driving safety. 2. Difficulty Starting: Battery performance deteriorates when the vehicle is covered in snow, ice, or at low temperatures, making starting the vehicle more difficult. Additionally, snow or ice entering the exhaust pipe may also affect starting the vehicle. 3. Frozen Doors: Door locks or the doors themselves may be difficult to open due to ice. In this case, de-icing agents or warm water may be needed to help unlock and open the doors. 4. Difficulty in Manually Clearing Snow and Ice: Manually clearing snow and ice from the vehicle before driving is time-consuming and physically demanding for the driver.

[0050] Based on this, this application proposes a vehicle heating method that automatically and quickly removes snow and ice from the vehicle by heating, thereby eliminating the impact of snow and ice on the driver's vision, improving driving safety, and eliminating the need for the driver to manually clear snow and ice, thus improving the driver's driving experience.

[0051] like Figure 1 The illustration shows an exemplary system architecture 100 that can be applied to a specific embodiment of the vehicle heating method of the present invention. The system architecture 100 may include a vehicle 101, a heating assembly 102 disposed within the vehicle, a plurality of temperature sensors 103, an environmental sensor 104, and a server 105.

[0052] The heating component 102 is disposed inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle 101 for heating the vehicle. Optionally, the heating component 102 can be a heating system within an air conditioning system. One possible implementation is that the heating system can adjust the airflow direction to heat different areas. Another possible implementation is that the heating system includes multiple air outlets, each covering a different area; by opening different outlets, different areas can be heated. Optionally, the heating component 102 can also include multiple heating units distributed on the vehicle body, each corresponding to a different area for heating.

[0053] Optionally, the temperature sensor 103 can be installed in different areas of the vehicle 101, such as in the doors, windshield, rear windshield, and roof of the vehicle 101.

[0054] Optionally, the environmental sensor 104 can be used to collect data on the vehicle's surrounding environment to identify whether the vehicle is covered in snow or ice. Based on the environmental data collected by the environmental sensor 104, the thickness of the snow or ice on the vehicle can be determined. Optionally, the environmental data from the environmental sensor 104 can be used to determine whether it is continuing to snow. If it is continuing to snow, the vehicle will reheat after being heated due to continued snowfall; therefore, heating can be applied only to key areas, such as the windshield, rear window, and doors. If it is no longer snowing, the vehicle can be heated globally, including the windshield, rear window, doors, and roof.

[0055] Optionally, the environmental sensor 104 may include, but is not limited to, a 360° surround view / exterior camera, a temperature and humidity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a light intensity sensor, and a pressure sensor. The environmental sensor 104 identifies whether the vehicle is covered in snow or ice, and / or the thickness of the snow or ice on the vehicle, and / or whether it is snowing. The temperature and humidity sensor can collect data such as the outside temperature.

[0056] Optionally, the controller in vehicle 101 can receive information from environmental sensors indicating that the vehicle is covered in snow or ice, and collect the temperature of different areas of the vehicle through temperature sensors 102. Further, the controller can generate a temperature distribution map based on the temperatures of different areas. Optionally, after obtaining the temperature distribution map, the controller can determine a heating strategy for the vehicle based on the temperature distribution map, wherein the heating strategy includes at least the area to be heated and the heating priority of the area to be heated.

[0057] Optionally, multiple temperature sensors 103 and environmental sensors 104 can be connected to a server 105. The server 105 can receive data uploaded by the multiple temperature sensors 103 and environmental sensors 104. Further, based on the environmental data uploaded by the environmental sensors, if it is determined that the vehicle is covered by snow or ice, a temperature distribution map can be generated based on the temperature of different areas. The server 105 determines the vehicle's heating strategy based on the temperature distribution map, wherein the heating strategy includes at least the area to be heated and the heating priority of the area to be heated.

[0058] Server 105 can also be connected to vehicle 101. Furthermore, server 105 can send heating strategies to vehicle. The controller in vehicle 101 executes the heating strategies to heat different areas of the vehicle to be heated according to heating priority through heating component 102, so as to increase the temperature of the areas to be heated and thereby eliminate snow or ice on the areas to be heated.

[0059] Optionally, server 105 can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0060] Vehicle 101, multiple temperature sensors 103, and environmental sensors 104 are directly or indirectly connected to server 105 via wireless communication. Optionally, the aforementioned wireless network uses standard communication technologies and / or protocols. The network is typically the Internet, but can also be any network, including but not limited to any combination of Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), mobile, wired or wireless networks, private networks, or virtual private networks.

[0061] It should be noted that the vehicle heating method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by the vehicle-mounted terminal, by the server 105, or by the vehicle-mounted terminal and the server 105 working together. Accordingly, the vehicle heating device can be installed in the vehicle-mounted terminal, in the server 105, or in both the vehicle-mounted terminal and the server 105.

[0062] It is understood that when the vehicle heating method provided in the embodiments of this application is executed by an on-board terminal, the above system architecture 100 may not include the server 105.

[0063] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number and type of temperature sensor 103 and environmental sensor 104 shown are merely illustrative. In actual implementation, the system can have any number and type of temperature sensor 103, environmental sensor 104, and server 105, depending on actual needs.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a vehicle heating method 1000. Specifically, method 1000 includes:

[0065] S1100 collects temperature data from different areas of the vehicle.

[0066] It should be noted that the temperature of different areas of the vehicle is collected to identify whether the vehicle is in a low-temperature state or an abnormal state such as snow accumulation or ice formation, so as to eliminate the abnormal low-temperature state of the vehicle by heating.

[0067] In some embodiments, environmental sensors can be used to identify whether the vehicle is in a low-temperature state. If the vehicle is identified as being in a low-temperature state, the temperature of different areas of the vehicle can be collected. Optionally, the outside temperature can be collected based on a temperature sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor. In response to the outside temperature being less than an extremely low temperature threshold (e.g., -15 degrees Celsius), the vehicle can be identified as being in a low-temperature state.

[0068] In some embodiments, environmental sensors can be used to identify whether a vehicle is covered in snow. If the vehicle is covered in snow, the temperature of different areas of the vehicle can be collected.

[0069] In some embodiments, environmental sensors can be used to identify whether a vehicle is in an icy state. If the vehicle is identified as icy, the temperature of different areas of the vehicle can be collected. Optionally, environmental sensors may include, but are not limited to, conventional 360° surround-view / exterior cameras, temperature and humidity sensors, ultrasonic sensors, light intensity sensors, and pressure sensors. Optionally, these cameras can detect the environment around the vehicle and identify parts of the vehicle body at the edge of the image. In this application, the 360° surround-view / exterior camera can be used to identify the environment around the vehicle, thereby inferring whether the vehicle is covered in snow or ice. Optionally, the images collected by the 360° surround-view / exterior camera can be analyzed using white pixel ratio, contour recognition, or deep learning to preliminarily determine whether there is snow or ice. Furthermore, since insufficient lighting or excessive reflection from snow and ice may affect accuracy, data from other types of sensors mentioned above can be combined for a comprehensive judgment.

[0070] For example, ultrasonic sensors can measure snow depth or ice thickness. By installing ultrasonic sensors under the vehicle chassis, the thickness of snow or ice beneath the vehicle, i.e., on the road surface, can be measured in real time. As another example, because snow and ice reflect light strongly, light intensity sensors can help determine their presence. When light intensity is abnormally high, it may be due to snow and ice reflecting light around the vehicle. Furthermore, pressure sensors can be installed on the vehicle's tires or chassis to detect changes in the pressure exerted by snow and ice on the vehicle. When a vehicle is covered in snow and ice, the pressure distribution on the tires or chassis changes, and these changes can be detected by pressure sensors.

[0071] Furthermore, combining images with data detected by the aforementioned types of sensors allows for a more accurate assessment of snow or ice accumulation on vehicles. For instance, sensor data and images can be input into a multimodal image recognition model, which can then identify the presence of snow or ice, and, if snow or ice is detected, output the snow thickness or ice thickness.

[0072] In some embodiments, temperature sensors are installed in different areas of the vehicle to collect the temperature of different areas. Optionally, temperature sensors can be installed in areas of the vehicle where snow is likely to accumulate. For example, temperature sensors can be installed in areas prone to snow accumulation, such as the windshield, rear windshield, doors, roof, front, and rear of the vehicle.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is detected to be covered in snow, ice, or at low temperatures, temperature sensors deployed in different areas can be used to collect the temperature of each area. This application utilizes temperature sensors installed at different locations on the vehicle to monitor the real-time temperature of various areas of the vehicle. These detected temperatures can serve as an important basis for developing effective heating strategies for the vehicle.

[0074] In this embodiment, a comprehensive sensor network is formed using environmental and temperature sensors both inside and outside the vehicle, providing accurate and comprehensive data support. This highly integrated sensor network provides a reliable foundation for real-time monitoring and intelligent heating.

[0075] S1200 generates temperature distribution maps based on the temperatures of different regions.

[0076] In some embodiments, the temperatures collected by the temperature sensor can be formatted to a format suitable for plotting. Furthermore, the temperatures of multiple regions can be compared, and the display colors of different regions can be determined based on the temperature comparison results. Additionally, display labels for each region can be determined based on its location on the vehicle, allowing users to query the actual temperature. After obtaining the rendering parameters, rendering can be performed on the corresponding regions of the vehicle body model based on these parameters to generate a temperature distribution map. Optionally, the colors of the temperature distribution map can be adjusted to enhance the visual appeal and facilitate the differentiation of temperature differences.

[0077] In some embodiments, a temperature distribution map can be displayed at the front end, that is, on the display screen of the vehicle terminal, so that the driver can intuitively observe the temperature conditions in different areas, so as to adjust or optimize the subsequent heating strategy.

[0078] In this embodiment, data from different sensors can be processed and analyzed in real time to generate a temperature distribution map of the vehicle. This sensor data can ensure the accuracy and timeliness of system decisions.

[0079] S1300 determines the vehicle's heating strategy based on the temperature distribution map.

[0080] S1400, executes the heating strategy.

[0081] In some embodiments, the heating strategy includes at least the area to be heated and the heating priority of the area to be heated.

[0082] In some embodiments, regions where the temperature meets the set heating conditions can be determined from different areas of the vehicle based on the temperature distribution map. For example, regions where the temperature is lower than a set temperature threshold can be determined based on the temperature distribution map, and these regions where the temperature is lower than the set temperature threshold can be used as areas to be heated.

[0083] In some embodiments, the areas to be heated can be sorted according to their temperature, and the heating priority of the areas to be heated can be determined based on the sorting result. For example, areas with higher temperatures can be heated first, followed by areas with lower temperatures.

[0084] In some embodiments, the location of the area to be heated on the vehicle can be determined, and the areas to be heated can be prioritized according to their location and criticality during driving to obtain the heating priority of the areas to be heated.

[0085] In some embodiments, the criticality of different areas is pre-configured, meaning that the criticality of each area can be pre-configured based on its location on the vehicle and its impact on safe driving. Further, based on the area configuration information, the criticality of the areas to be heated is determined, and the areas to be heated are prioritized according to their pre-configured criticality, resulting in a heating priority for the areas to be heated. That is, in cases of snow accumulation, ice formation, or low temperatures on the vehicle, critical areas to be heated can be heated first, while non-critical areas can be heated only after the critical areas have been heated.

[0086] In this embodiment, based on the collected real-time temperature data, a heating strategy can be intelligently formulated, thereby prioritizing the heating of key areas and automatically adjusting the heating area throughout the heating process, making the heating process more flexible, efficient and intelligent.

[0087] In some embodiments, different areas of the vehicle include, but are not limited to, the windshield, rear window, doors, roof, front end, and rear end. A temperature distribution map can be used to determine the areas to be heated from these areas. For example, the areas to be heated can be at least some of the aforementioned areas, such as the windshield, rear window, doors, and roof. In some embodiments, after determining the areas to be heated from the different areas of the vehicle and their heating priorities, a heating strategy can be formulated. Further, the vehicle's heating components are activated, and the heating components are controlled according to the heating strategy to heat the areas to be heated step-by-step according to their heating priorities.

[0088] In some embodiments, the heating assembly may include multiple heating units, each corresponding to a different area of ​​the vehicle, and multiple heating units may be independently controlled. That is, by controlling the heating units corresponding to the areas to be heated, different areas to be heated can be heated step by step according to the heating priority, so as to achieve the purpose of raising the temperature and eliminating snow and ice.

[0089] In some embodiments, during the stepwise heating process, heating units corresponding to the areas to be heated can be turned on sequentially according to their heating priority, thereby achieving sequential heating of different areas. For example, if the heating strategy includes the windshield and the doors as the areas to be heated, and the windshield has a higher heating priority than the doors, then when executing the heating strategy, the heating unit corresponding to the windshield can be turned on first, then turned off, and then the heating unit corresponding to the doors can be turned on to heat the doors.

[0090] In some embodiments, the heating unit can be an air outlet in the heating system, and corresponding air outlets can be arranged in different areas of the vehicle. Optionally, based on heating priority, the air outlets corresponding to the areas to be heated are opened sequentially to deliver air to the areas to be heated through the air outlets.

[0091] For example, the air vents corresponding to the windshield can be opened first to send air from the heating system to the windshield, thereby heating the windshield and raising its temperature to remove snow or ice.

[0092] Furthermore, the windshield vents are closed, while the vents corresponding to the doors are opened to direct the heating system through these vents to the doors, thereby heating the doors and raising the windshield temperature to remove snow or ice. In some embodiments, the heating units can be heating coils distributed in different areas, which can be individually controlled. This allows the heating units corresponding to the areas to be heated to be activated sequentially according to their heating priority, achieving sequential heating of different areas.

[0093] In some embodiments, a single heating component for the vehicle, such as a heating system, can be used to achieve progressive heating of different areas according to heating priority by adjusting the airflow direction of the heating system's outlet.

[0094] Therefore, the vehicle heating method proposed in this application, when the vehicle is covered by snow, ice, or at low temperatures, utilizes temperature sensors installed in different areas of the vehicle to collect the temperature of different areas and generate a temperature distribution map based on the temperature of different areas. Furthermore, based on the temperature distribution map, it determines the areas to be heated and their heating priorities from different areas of the vehicle, and heats the areas to be heated step by step according to the heating priority. This application utilizes temperature sensors installed in different locations on the vehicle to accurately monitor the real-time temperature of various key areas inside and outside the vehicle, providing a precise basis for determining the subsequent heating strategy. By automatically heating to raise the temperature of different areas, snow and ice in key areas that affect driving safety or visibility can be quickly melted, improving driving safety. Moreover, the graded heating mode can also take into account the vehicle's energy efficiency, that is, improve energy usage efficiency, which is equivalent to reducing electricity consumption. By automatically removing snow and ice in key areas through heating, manual cleaning by the driver is unnecessary, reducing labor costs and significantly improving the user experience.

[0095] In a feasible embodiment, after determining the heating strategy, the temperature change information of each area to be heated can be predicted based on the heating strategy. Optionally, the temperature change information may include, but is not limited to, information such as temperature increment and temperature change rate. Further, the generated temperature distribution map is updated based on the temperature change information of the areas to be heated to obtain a temperature distribution map for future times. Optionally, the total temperature increment of the areas to be heated after heating can be determined based on the temperature change information. Further, the total temperature increment is added to the temperature collected when generating the temperature distribution map to obtain the target temperature of the areas to be heated after heating. Based on the target temperature of the areas to be heated, the generated temperature distribution map is updated to obtain a temperature distribution map for future times. The future times may include one or more. When there is only one future time, it can be a future time of a preset duration or the time when the heating of the currently prioritized heating area is completed. That is, the user is shown the temperature change of each area after the heating of the currently prioritized heating area is completed, so that the user can adjust the priority of subsequent heating areas based on the temperature change. Preferably, the future time can also be the departure time of the user's planned trip.

[0096] In one feasible embodiment, after obtaining the temperature distribution map for future times, the required temperature increment for the area to be heated at different times can be determined based on the target temperature of the area to be heated in the future temperature distribution map. The required temperature increment at different times can be used as a reference temperature increment. During the heating process of the area to be heated, the real-time temperature of different areas can be collected in real time, thereby generating a real-time temperature distribution map. Furthermore, based on the real-time temperature distribution map and the temperature distribution map for future times, it can be determined whether the temperature increment of the area to be heated at the current time meets the requirement of the reference temperature increment at the current time. If the requirement is not met, the heating strategy for the area to be heated can be optimized and adjusted so that the adjusted heating strategy can meet the requirements, thereby achieving the optimal snow melting effect.

[0097] Optionally, the difference between the current temperature increment and the current reference temperature increment is obtained, and the operating parameters of the heating component corresponding to the area to be heated are adjusted based on this difference. Optionally, the operating parameters of the heating component may include, but are not limited to, the heating power and airflow velocity of the heating component. For example, if the current temperature increment is less than the current reference temperature increment, the operating parameters of the heating component corresponding to the area to be heated can be increased based on the difference to ensure the timely heating of the area. Conversely, if the current temperature increment is greater than the current reference temperature increment, the operating parameters of the heating component corresponding to the area to be heated can be decreased based on the difference to save energy consumption.

[0098] In one feasible embodiment, the temperature change information of each area to be heated can be predicted according to the heating strategy. Furthermore, a temperature change trend map of the area to be heated can be generated based on the temperature change information of the area to be heated at each moment.

[0099] In one feasible embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown in Figure S1300, based on the temperature distribution map, the vehicle heating strategy is determined, including:

[0100] S1310, Based on the temperature distribution map, determine the areas in different regions of the vehicle where the temperature meets the set heating conditions.

[0101] S1320: Based on the preset criticality corresponding to the location of the area to be heated, prioritize the areas to be heated to obtain the heating priority of the areas to be heated.

[0102] For a description of steps S1310 to S1320, please refer to the relevant content in the above embodiments; the steps are not repeated here.

[0103] S1330 obtains the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.

[0104] In some embodiments, the outside temperature can be collected based on an external temperature and humidity sensor, and the inside temperature can be collected based on an internal temperature sensor. Further, the temperature difference between the inside and outside temperatures is determined based on the temperature values ​​collected by the two sensors.

[0105] S1340 predicts vehicle heating energy consumption data based on temperature difference and weather forecast data, combined with the condition of the area to be heated.

[0106] In some embodiments, the vehicle can query weather conditions through a relevant application programming interface (API) to obtain weather forecast data for its current location, which can then be used as a reference for determining the subsequent heating strategy, thereby improving the accuracy of the heating strategy. In this application, the heating strategy is formulated with weather conditions in mind, which makes the heating strategy more comprehensive, improves its adaptability, and enables it to work effectively in various environments.

[0107] In some embodiments, environmental data collected by environmental sensors is acquired. Based on the acquired environmental data, it is determined whether the vehicle is covered in snow or ice. In response to the vehicle being covered in snow or ice, the snow thickness or ice thickness on the vehicle is further determined based on the environmental data. Subsequently, based on images acquired by the vehicle's surround-view / exterior cameras, the snow or ice thickness on the vehicle can be identified to obtain the state of the area to be heated.

[0108] In some embodiments, training samples are collected, and the energy consumption prediction model is trained and validated based on the training samples to obtain a trained energy consumption prediction model. It is understood that the training samples may include temperature difference under snow conditions of the sample vehicle, weather forecast data, and the state of the area to be heated, and the number of labels corresponding to the training samples are all energy consumption data of the sample vehicle when it is heated.

[0109] After obtaining data on temperature difference, weather forecast, and the status of the area to be heated, this data can be input into a pre-trained energy consumption prediction model, which will then output the energy consumption data for vehicle heating. Optionally, the energy consumption data for vehicle heating may include, but is not limited to, the duration and energy required for vehicle heating.

[0110] S1350 obtains the vehicle's current remaining battery power and determines the heating mode corresponding to the area to be heated based on the remaining battery power and the energy consumption data required for vehicle heating.

[0111] In some embodiments, to consider the vehicle's driving range, the vehicle's current remaining battery power can be obtained during the determination of the heating strategy. Optionally, communication can be established with the Battery Control Unit (BCU) to read the vehicle's current remaining battery power from the BCU. The BCU is responsible for charge / discharge management and estimation of the remaining battery power (State of Charge, SOC).

[0112] In some embodiments, the heating strategy may also include a heating mode for the area to be heated, which may include, but is not limited to, a continuous heating mode, a segmented heating mode, an intermittent heating mode, an energy-saving heating mode, and an alternating internal and external circulation mode.

[0113] In some embodiments, after obtaining the remaining battery power of the vehicle, the difference between the remaining battery power of the vehicle and the energy consumption required for vehicle heating can be obtained. Furthermore, based on the respective states of the areas to be heated, the difference information can be rationally planned to obtain the heating mode of the areas to be heated.

[0114] Optionally, if the difference information indicates that the remaining power is greater than the required energy consumption data, and is significantly greater than the required energy consumption data, the heating mode can be selected as continuous heating mode to quickly raise the temperature and eliminate the snow or ice layer in the area to be heated.

[0115] Optionally, the heating mode can be selected as segmented heating, which means that the heating system will use internal circulation to heat the car interior for a set time to raise the temperature as quickly as possible to remove snow. After the set time is reached, it will switch to external circulation to maintain the temperature inside the car. For example, the internal circulation will quickly raise the temperature for the first 5 to 10 minutes, and then switch to external circulation to maintain the temperature inside the car.

[0116] Optionally, the heating system can be set to circulate heat for a set duration to raise the temperature of the passenger compartment as quickly as possible and remove the snow.

[0117] Optionally, the heating mode can be selected as an alternating internal and external circulation mode, which can not only eliminate snow or ice in the area to be heated, but also meet the vehicle's need for fresh air.

[0118] Optionally, if the difference information indicates that the remaining battery power is greater than the required energy consumption data, but the difference is small, the heating mode can be set to intermittent heating to save the vehicle's battery power. In other words, the heating system can be set to intermittently circulate heat for a set period of time to raise the cabin temperature as quickly as possible to remove snow. After the set period is reached, the internal circulation heating is paused, and the internal circulation can be restarted after a certain interval.

[0119] Optionally, if the difference information indicates that the remaining power is less than the required energy consumption, it is possible to select only the higher-priority areas to be heated, and not heat the remaining areas. Alternatively, if the difference information indicates that the remaining power is less than the required energy consumption, a query message can be sent to the user's terminal device asking whether to heat, allowing the user to confirm on the terminal device. If heating is confirmed, the higher-priority areas can be automatically heated based on heating priority.

[0120] Optionally, if heating is determined, the user identifies the area to be heated. Optionally, the vehicle can identify suitable areas for heating and generate selection suggestions, which are sent to the user in a query message as area selection advice.

[0121] In some embodiments, when the vehicle's remaining battery power is greater than the energy consumption required for heating, but the difference is small, or when the remaining battery power is less than the energy consumption required for heating, the amount of electricity required for the vehicle to travel from its current location to the charging station can be obtained in advance. Based on the vehicle's current remaining battery power and the amount of electricity required to travel to the charging station, the amount of electricity available for heating can be determined. Furthermore, the area to be heated with the highest priority can be heated using the available amount of electricity, while the remaining areas can be heated after charging is complete.

[0122] In some embodiments, the heating time required to heat the area to be heated can be predicted based on the condition of the area. If the heating time exceeds the set time, i.e., when the snow or ice layer thickness or temperature in the area to be heated is low, to ensure the comfort of the driver and passengers, continuously setting the air conditioning heating system (i.e., the heating component) to recirculate will result in a high cabin temperature, making the driver and passengers feel uncomfortable. To solve this problem, the heating system can be controlled to alternate between recirculation and external circulation. Optionally, recirculation can be used to heat for a period of time to quickly raise the cabin temperature and remove snow or ice, before switching to external circulation to replenish fresh air to the cabin. Optionally, recirculation and external circulation can alternate multiple times.

[0123] Optionally, after obtaining the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle and the state of the area to be heated, the required heating time for the area to be heated can be predicted based on the temperature difference and the state of the area to be heated. It can be understood that a large temperature difference and a high temperature inside the vehicle indicate a low outside temperature and a high inside temperature, resulting in a relatively shorter heating time. A small temperature difference indicates that the inside and outside temperatures are basically the same, and the entire vehicle is in a low-temperature state, resulting in a relatively longer heating time. Furthermore, the basic heating time determined based on the temperature difference can be modified by considering the state of the area to be heated. Further, the basic heating time can be appropriately increased by considering the thickness of snow or ice in the area to be heated, thus obtaining the final required heating time for the area to be heated.

[0124] In some embodiments, during the heating process of the heating component, the heating progress can be sent to the user's terminal device at regular intervals. For example, it can provide feedback on the temperature difference before and after heating, or on the areas that have been heated. It can also provide feedback on the remaining areas to be heated. Furthermore, the heating progress can be determined based on the vehicle's predicted heating time and the cumulative heating time of the heating component, and the heating progress information can be fed back to the user's terminal device.

[0125] In one feasible embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, S1400 executes a heating strategy, including:

[0126] S1410, turn on the vehicle's heating system.

[0127] After determining the heating strategy according to step S1300, the vehicle's heating components can be turned on to provide energy to each area of ​​the vehicle to be heated, thereby raising the temperature of the area to be heated and eliminating snow and ice in the area to be heated.

[0128] In some embodiments, the vehicle controller receives a heating strategy and can send an activation signal to the heating component to start it. Furthermore, the controller controls the heating component to heat according to the heating strategy; that is, it can control the heating component to heat each area to be heated according to heating priority, thereby eliminating snow or ice in the areas to be heated. It is understood that in this embodiment, the heating component can heat each area of ​​the vehicle.

[0129] S1420, the heating areas are traversed level by level according to heating priority. For the i-th level heating area, the blowing direction of the heating component is adjusted according to the location of the i-th level heating area to deliver air to the i-th level heating area.

[0130] It should be noted that i is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, the heating component can be the heating system of a vehicle's air conditioning system, which blows warm air to heat the area to be heated. During the heating process according to heating priority, the direction of the warm air can be adjusted to heat different areas.

[0132] For example, the areas to be heated, determined based on the temperature distribution map, are: the windshield, rear windshield, doors, and roof. The heating priorities for these four areas are: windshield (priority 1), doors (priority 2), rear windshield (priority 3), and roof (priority 4). When implementing the heating strategy, the heating system can first blow air onto the windshield to heat it. After heating the windshield, air can be blown onto the doors to heat them, and then air can be blown onto the rear windshield and roof in sequence to remove snow and ice from the areas to be heated.

[0133] For example, after heating the windshield, the direction of the heater can be adjusted from blowing towards the windshield to blowing towards the doors, thus heating the doors. After heating the doors, the direction can be adjusted from blowing towards the doors to blowing towards the rear window, thus heating the rear window. After heating the rear window, the direction can be adjusted from blowing towards the rear window to blowing towards the rear roof, thus heating the roof.

[0134] In some embodiments, other operating parameters of the heating component may be determined based on the area of ​​the region to be heated and / or the heating priority. These other operating parameters may include, but are not limited to, wind speed and heating power.

[0135] Optionally, to improve the heating speed of critical areas to be heated, the wind speed of the heating components can be determined according to the heating priority of these areas. That is, for areas with higher heating priority, the heating components can be configured with a higher wind speed to quickly remove snow or ice, allowing drivers to use the vehicle as soon as possible. For areas with lower heating priority, the heating components can be configured with a relatively lower wind speed to balance energy consumption.

[0136] Optionally, the wind speed of the heating element can be determined based on the area of ​​the region to be heated. For example, a larger wind speed can be configured for a larger area to be heated, which can quickly remove snow and ice from these areas. Conversely, a smaller wind speed can be configured for a smaller area to be heated, saving energy while still ensuring rapid snow removal.

[0137] In some embodiments, after the heating component heats up, the temperature of the area to be heated will gradually increase. The temperature change is continuously monitored, and the temperature distribution map is updated according to the latest monitored temperature. Optionally, the latest temperature distribution map can be displayed in real time on the display interface of the vehicle terminal or mobile terminal, so that the driver and passengers can monitor the temperature change.

[0138] In some embodiments, the heating strategy is adjusted and optimized based on the updated temperature distribution map, thereby dynamically adjusting the energy flow of the heating components.

[0139] In some embodiments, after the heating component heats the area, the temperature of the area to be heated gradually increases. Temperature changes are continuously monitored. In response to a detection that the heating effect of the current area is poor—that is, the post-heating state of the area is not as expected (e.g., ice or snow has not been loosened or removed)—the heating parameters corresponding to the current area to be heated can be adjusted and optimized, for example, by increasing the heating power and fan speed. Optionally, areas that have not yet been heated are identified, and the heating parameters corresponding to the current area and the remaining areas to be heated are further adjusted and optimized. This adjustment and optimization allows for targeted energy use, avoiding unnecessary energy waste. This energy optimization method is beneficial for improving battery range, and is particularly significant in electric vehicles.

[0140] In this embodiment, a real-time temperature distribution map can be generated based on temperature data collected by a temperature sensor. An intelligent heating strategy is then generated based on this temperature distribution map. This heating strategy ensures that heat flows preferentially to critical areas requiring rapid heating, prioritizing vehicle driving safety. In other words, it selectively heats certain areas based on heating priority and actual needs, thereby utilizing energy more efficiently. Furthermore, it can update real-time changes in temperature distribution and dynamically adjust subsequent heating strategies to ensure that snow and ice are quickly removed from critical areas of the vehicle.

[0141] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a vehicle heating method 2000. Specifically, method 2000 includes:

[0142] S2100 acquires environmental data collected by environmental sensors and determines whether the vehicle is in the target state based on the environmental data.

[0143] In some embodiments, the target state may include a snow-covered state, an icy state, and a low-temperature state.

[0144] The S2200 identifies when a vehicle is in a target state and collects the temperature of different areas of the vehicle.

[0145] The S2300 generates a temperature distribution map based on the temperature of different regions, and determines the areas to be heated from different regions of the vehicle according to the temperature distribution map.

[0146] S2400: Based on the preset criticality corresponding to the location of the area to be heated, the areas to be heated are prioritized to obtain the heating priority of the areas to be heated.

[0147] S2500 receives a priority adjustment instruction and updates the heating priority of at least one area to be heated according to the priority adjustment instruction.

[0148] In some embodiments, after obtaining the priority of each area to be heated, it can be displayed on the display interface of the vehicle terminal or mobile terminal. Furthermore, if the heating priority setting does not meet user needs, the driver and passengers can adjust the heating priority of some or all of the areas to be heated via commands. That is, priority adjustment commands input by the driver and passengers can be received. Optionally, the priority adjustment command includes at least one specified area to be heated and the target priority of the specified area to be heated. Further, according to the priority adjustment command, the heating priority of the areas to be heated in the heating strategy is updated to obtain the final heating priority of the areas to be heated for snow melting in the heating strategy. In this embodiment, a user-friendly interactive interface can be provided, allowing drivers and passengers to adjust the heating priority. In some embodiments, the adjustment data of drivers and passengers on the display interface can be recorded as the heating habits of the drivers and passengers. Furthermore, the heating habits of drivers and passengers can be learned based on machine learning models, and the heating strategy can be optimized for drivers and passengers when using the vehicle based on the learning results of the heating habits. This can result in a customized heating strategy that can adapt to user needs. The optimized heating strategy can not only effectively solve a series of problems caused by vehicles being covered by snow or ice in winter, but also provide drivers with a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

[0149] The S2600 measures the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.

[0150] The S2700 predicts vehicle heating energy consumption based on temperature difference and weather forecast data, combined with the condition of the area to be heated.

[0151] S2800 obtains the vehicle's current remaining battery power and determines the heating mode corresponding to the area to be heated based on the remaining battery power and the vehicle's heating energy consumption data.

[0152] S2900 obtains the vehicle's heating strategy based on the heating mode of the area to be heated and the updated heating priority, and then executes the heating strategy.

[0153] In this embodiment, through highly integrated sensor networks, intelligent data processing, dynamic adjustment of heating air direction, and consideration of energy consumption, the vehicle heating process can be automatically managed, improving the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles in adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, optimizing battery usage and precisely controlling the heating strategy can reduce energy waste, thereby extending battery range and improving the overall performance and appeal of electric vehicles. Moreover, as part of the vehicle's intelligent system, the intelligent heating temperature control method can be integrated with in-vehicle infotainment systems, intelligent assistants, and other tools, adding more intelligent functions without increasing hardware costs, providing users with a more comprehensive and comfortable driving experience.
