Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle lighting control technology, and in particular relates to a liquid ecological vehicle light and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] As cars become increasingly intelligent, users are placing greater emphasis on the interactive and ritualistic experience of using their vehicles. Consequently, automotive welcome functions are constantly evolving. Vehicle welcome refers to providing users with a sense of ceremony through lighting and sound effects during the process of getting in and out of the car. Currently, vehicle welcome is typically triggered by unlocking the key, after which the vehicle responds by controlling different lights such as position lights, turn signals, headlights, and taillights. However, this current form of welcome is rather monotonous, merely involving simple light changes. The interactive experience between the user and the vehicle during the welcome is insufficient, and it doesn't offer differentiated experiences for different users.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new liquid ecological vehicle light and its control method to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a liquid ecological vehicle lamp and its control method in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This disclosure achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A liquid ecological vehicle light includes a housing, an ecological liquid, ecological species, a mask, and an ecological species controller; a sealed space is formed between the housing and the mask, and the ecological liquid and ecological species are disposed within the sealed space; the ecological species controller is used to control the ecological species to perform corresponding actions in the ecological liquid.

[0006] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the ecological liquid is a non-conductive transparent liquid.

[0007] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the ecological species controller acquires vehicle light association information in real time, generates location information and luminous information based on the vehicle light association information, and sends them to the ecological species. The ecological species moves to a designated location according to the location information and emits light according to the luminous information.

[0008] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the conditions for generating the vehicle light association information include: when the vehicle is in gear and the body controller issues turn signals, position lights, reversing lights, rear fog lights, or welcome signals.

[0009] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the ecological species includes a transmission module and a driving module; the transmission module is used to receive the location information and the luminescence information; the driving module is used to drive the ecological species to move to a designated location.

[0010] As a further optimization of this disclosure, a wireless charging device is also included, which is disposed within the ecological liquid and is used to charge the ecological species.

[0011] A control method for the aforementioned liquid ecological vehicle light includes the following steps: The vehicle light association information is obtained in real time through the ecological species controller. The ecological species controller generates location information and luminous information based on the vehicle light association information and sends them to the ecological species. The ecological species receives the location information and luminescence information, moves to the designated location according to the location information, and emits light according to the luminescence information.

[0012] As a further optimization of this disclosure, based on the communication between the car key and the vehicle, the system detects when the user approaches the vehicle and enters a preset range around the vehicle. Upon confirming that the user is walking towards the vehicle, the system determines that the vehicle is in welcome mode. When the vehicle is in welcome mode, the system obtains the first vehicle light association information. Based on the first vehicle light association information, the system controls the ecological species to perform corresponding welcome actions.

[0013] As a further optimization of this disclosure, when the user gets out of the car and closes the door, and the door closing information is received, the second vehicle light association information is obtained; based on the second vehicle light association information, after a preset delay, the ecological species is controlled to perform the corresponding welcoming action.

[0014] As a further optimization of this disclosure, when the vehicle is in normal mode and the vehicle is detected to be powered on and the door is scanned, the third vehicle light association information is obtained; based on the third vehicle light association information, the ecological species is controlled to move to the wireless charging device for charging.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this disclosure are as follows: By combining liquid ecological media with driveable electronic ecological species and employing intelligent control logic, the system significantly enhances the welcoming ceremony and human-vehicle interaction experience, solving the problems of monotonous, weakly interactive, and homogenized traditional lighting welcomes. The system can intelligently adapt to multiple scenarios, automatically switching the actions of the ecological species while balancing lighting functionality and interactive effects. Users can customize the shapes and effects via an app, achieving a high degree of personalization. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid eco-friendly car light includes a housing 100, an eco-liquid 101 (a non-conductive, transparent liquid of various colors), eco-species 102 (including but not limited to electronic fish, electronic octopuses, etc.), a wireless charging device 103, a mask 104, and an eco-species controller. A sealed space is formed between the housing 100 and the mask 104, and the eco-liquid 101 and eco-species 102 are disposed within the sealed space. The eco-species controller is used to control the eco-species 102 to perform corresponding actions in the eco-liquid 101. The wireless charging device 103 is used to charge the eco-species 102.

[0021] There can be multiple ecological species 102, which can be arranged in a straight line, a cross, or a random pattern.

[0022] The ecological controller converts the generated welcoming design into location and light emission information, and sends it to the ecological species 102 via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The ecological species 102 moves to the corresponding location based on the location information and emits light according to the light emission information to create the welcoming design. Figure 2To create a welcoming effect, four eco-electronic fish need to be arranged in a straight line. The eco-controller calculates and provides the three-coordinate signals of their positions: the first eco-electronic fish [10,50,30], the second eco-electronic fish [30,50,30], the third eco-electronic fish [50,50,30], and the fourth eco-electronic fish [70,50,30]. The position information is then sent to the eco-electronic fish, and the four eco-electronic fish arrange themselves into the corresponding shape.

[0023] The ecological species 102 includes a transmission module and a driving module; the transmission module is used to receive the location information and the light emission information; the driving module is used to drive the ecological species 102 to move to a designated location.

[0024] The ecological species controller includes an acquisition module, a control module, and a transmission module. The acquisition module is used to acquire vehicle light association information in real time. The control module is used to control the corresponding welcoming actions of the ecological species based on the vehicle light association information when the acquisition module acquires the vehicle light association information.

[0025] In some embodiments, the control module is further configured to: determine whether the ecological species 102 is currently in a driving process; if so, control the ecological species to continue executing the driving process until the driving process is completed, and then control the ecological species 102 to perform a corresponding welcoming action according to the vehicle light association information; otherwise, the ecological species 102 performs a corresponding evasion action.

[0026] In some embodiments, the acquisition module is specifically used to: acquire first vehicle light association information when the vehicle is in welcome mode and a user is detected to have arrived within a preset range around the vehicle.

[0027] In some embodiments, the acquisition module is specifically used to: acquire the second vehicle light association information when the vehicle is in the "Follow Me Home" mode and the system detects that the user has gotten out of the vehicle and closed the door.

[0028] In some embodiments, the acquisition module is specifically used to: acquire third vehicle light association information when the vehicle is in normal mode and the vehicle is detected to be powered on and the door is scanned.

[0029] In some embodiments, the control module is specifically used to: control the ecological species 102 to perform corresponding welcoming actions when the first vehicle light association information is obtained.

[0030] In some embodiments, the control module is specifically used to: when the second vehicle light association information is obtained, after a preset delay, drive the ecological species 102 to perform a corresponding welcoming action.

[0031] In some embodiments, the control module is specifically used to: control the ecological species 102 to perform corresponding welcoming actions when the third vehicle light association information is obtained.

[0032] In some embodiments, the transmission module is specifically used to: transmit location information to the ecological species 102.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a liquid ecological vehicle lighting control method includes the following steps: Real-time acquisition of vehicle light-related information or user-inputted information.

[0034] Among them, the vehicle light association information is the information between the vehicle's current mode and the user's behavior. By determining the user's behavior information and the vehicle's current mode, the vehicle light association information corresponding to the user's behavior information and the vehicle's current mode is obtained. It can be understood that the vehicle light association information is obtained when the vehicle's current mode and the user's behavior information meet the set conditions.

[0035] In this embodiment, by acquiring the vehicle light association information, it is convenient to control the vehicle lights accordingly. Different vehicle light association information results in differences in the actions, arrangement, and light emission of the ecological species 102.

[0036] Obtain vehicle light association information, including: when the vehicle is in gear, and the turn signals, position lights, reversing lights, rear fog lights, or welcome signals emitted by the body controller.

[0037] Users can input the desired effect using the in-vehicle app, and the welcome effect will be displayed when triggered.

[0038] When vehicle headlight association information is obtained or user input is received, location information and luminous information are generated and sent to the ecological species 102, and corresponding actions, color changes of the light source, and brightness adjustments are executed. Different vehicle headlight association information generates different control information.

[0039] Depending on the different vehicle light association information, the ecological species perform different actions, and the vehicle lights also exhibit different forms of expression. Based on the acquired vehicle light association information, the ecological species perform corresponding welcoming actions and arrangements, so that the actions of the vehicle lights are coordinated with the vehicle light association information to achieve dynamic display in different scenarios, thereby increasing the dynamic display effect of the vehicle lights.

[0040] In some embodiments, obtaining vehicle light association information includes: when the vehicle is in welcome mode and a user is detected to have entered a preset range around the vehicle, obtaining first vehicle light association information. Specifically, based on the communication between the car key and the vehicle, user behavior is detected. When the user approaches the vehicle and enters a preset range around the vehicle, it is considered that the user is walking towards the vehicle. At this time, it is determined that the vehicle is in welcome mode, and when the vehicle is in welcome mode, the first vehicle light association information is obtained. When the first vehicle light association information is obtained, the ecological species performs a corresponding welcome action.

[0041] In some embodiments, obtaining vehicle light association information includes: when the vehicle is in "Follow Me Home" mode and a user is detected getting out of the car and closing the door, obtaining second vehicle light association information. Specifically, when the user closes the door, a door closing information is sent. Upon receiving the door closing information, it is assumed that the user has gotten out of the car and closed the door. At this time, it is determined that the vehicle is in "Follow Me Home" mode. When the vehicle is in "Follow Me Home" mode, second vehicle light association information is obtained. When the second vehicle light association information is obtained, after a preset delay, the ecological species performs the corresponding welcoming action. When the vehicle is in "Follow Me Home" mode, the second vehicle light association information is obtained, and after a preset delay, such as two minutes, the ecological species performs the corresponding welcoming action. It can be understood that when the vehicle is in "Follow Me Home" mode, the function lights are not immediately turned off. Instead, after a preset delay after the user gets out of the car, the ecological species performs the corresponding welcoming action. After the user gets out of the car, the function lights continue to be lit for a preset time to improve the user's driving experience.

[0042] In some embodiments, obtaining vehicle light association information includes: obtaining third vehicle light association information when the vehicle is in normal mode and the vehicle is detected to be powered on and the door is scanned. Specifically, when the vehicle is neither in welcome mode nor follow-me-home mode, it is assumed that the vehicle may be in normal mode. At this time, the power status of the door and the vehicle is detected. When the vehicle is powered on and door scan information is received, it is assumed that the vehicle is in normal mode, and at this time, third vehicle light association information is obtained. When the third vehicle light association information is obtained, the ecological species performs the corresponding welcome action.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is in normal mode, third-party vehicle light association information is obtained, and the ecological species moves to the wireless charging location to ensure normal vehicle use for the user.

[0044] Before controlling the controlled ecological species 102 to perform various welcoming actions according to the vehicle light association information, the method further includes: determining whether the ecological species 102 is currently in a driving process; if so, controlling the ecological species 102 to continue executing the driving process until the driving process is completed, and then controlling the ecological species 102 to perform corresponding actions according to the vehicle light association information; otherwise, controlling the ecological species 102 to perform corresponding actions according to the vehicle light association information.

[0045] According to the vehicle light control method of the present invention, the ecological species 102 is controlled to perform various welcoming actions based on the acquired vehicle light association information, so that the actions of the vehicle lights are coordinated with the vehicle light association information, so that the vehicle lights can form different light-emitting effects, and the vehicle lights can be dynamically displayed in accordance with different vehicle modes, thereby increasing the dynamic display effect of the vehicle lights and satisfying the user's demand for a sense of technology.

[0046] This invention deeply integrates liquid ecological media, independently driven electronic ecological species, and intelligent vehicle control logic to construct a novel vehicle lighting interaction and display system. From multiple dimensions, including user experience, functional implementation, intelligence level, scene adaptability, personalization, vehicle recognition, structural safety, control stability, and industrial application value, it comprehensively breaks through the limitations of traditional vehicle lights in welcoming, illumination, interaction, and ceremonial aspects, bringing significant and irreplaceable technological advantages and application value. Compared to existing technical solutions that rely solely on changes in light brightness, color, and flicker frequency to achieve welcoming functions, the liquid ecological vehicle lighting control method, device, and vehicle equipped with this system provided by this invention have the following beneficial effects: Traditional vehicle welcome functions rely solely on the simple switching and flashing of conventional lights such as position lights, turn signals, headlights, and taillights. This results in a monotonous presentation and bland visual effects, failing to create a strong sense of ceremony or memorable experience. The connection between the user and the vehicle is merely a superficial trigger-to-response interaction, lacking immersive engagement. This invention employs a structural design combining a transparent, non-conductive ecological liquid with ecological species such as electronic fish and electronic octopuses. This creates a dynamic ecological landscape within the vehicle lights. When the user approaches the vehicle, unlocks it, opens the door, or gets out, the ecological species swim, arrange themselves, and change color according to a preset trajectory, creating a three-dimensional, smooth, and vivid dynamic effect.

[0047] This dynamic ecological display completely changes the shortcomings of traditional static lighting and passive flashing, upgrading the welcoming process from a single light signal to a visual, scenario-based, and story-driven interactive experience. As users approach the vehicle, they can see the ecological species awaken from their dormant state and arrange themselves in an orderly welcoming shape; when getting into the car, the ecological species present a welcoming posture; after getting out of the car and locking it, the ecological species slowly return to dormancy with a farewell effect, forming a complete interactive loop of welcoming, accompanying, and bidding farewell. This transforms users from mere vehicle users into participants in an intelligent interactive experience, significantly enhancing the pleasure, sense of belonging, and sense of ritual of the car-using process, and meeting the core needs of modern consumers for a high-end, personalized, and emotional car-using experience.

[0048] Meanwhile, the movement of ecological species in the liquid environment is gentle and full of vitality, which is different from the rigidity of mechanical structures and the coldness of electronic lights. It can bring users a gentler and more friendly interactive experience, effectively alleviating the boredom during the car use process. Especially in environments with insufficient light, such as at night and underground garages, the dynamic ecological effect is more visually attractive, greatly improving the user's sense of security and pleasure when getting in and out of the car.

[0049] This invention can acquire real-time information related to various vehicle lights, such as welcome mode, follow me home mode, and normal driving mode. It automatically switches the action logic of the ecological species according to different vehicle states and user behaviors, realizing intelligent adaptation to all vehicle usage scenarios and solving the problem that traditional welcome lights can only be triggered once when unlocking the car and cannot adapt to multiple scenarios.

[0050] In welcome mode, when the system detects that a user is carrying a car key and entering a preset range around the vehicle, or initiates a remote unlocking command via a mobile app, the system immediately obtains the first headlight association information and controls the ecological species to respond quickly, presenting a preset welcome shape, such as arranged in a straight line, a cross, or the outline of the brand logo, to proactively send a welcome signal to the user and enhance the anticipation before using the car.

[0051] In the "Follow Me Home" mode, when the user closes the car door and the vehicle detects the exit action, the system obtains the second vehicle light association information and controls the ecological species to perform a farewell action with a delay. At the same time, the function lights are turned off with a delay. This not only provides lighting support for the user to leave the vehicle, but also completes the farewell interaction with dynamic ecological effects. This avoids the monotony of the traditional "Follow Me Home" function, which only has lights on, and allows the user to still feel the vehicle's intelligent companionship when leaving the vehicle.

[0052] In normal driving mode, when the vehicle is powered on, the doors are closed, and the vehicle is ready to drive, the system obtains the third vehicle light association information, controls the ecological species to move to the wireless charging area or a hidden location, and stops the dynamic display to avoid affecting driving lighting and driving safety, ensuring that the lighting function is stable and reliable when the vehicle is driving normally.

[0053] In addition, the system can also adapt to conventional vehicle lighting signals such as turn signal triggering, reversing light triggering, and rear fog light triggering. Without affecting the lighting function, it allows ecological species to cooperate to complete the auxiliary dynamic display, so that the turn signal, reversing light and other functions not only have the function of signal prompts, but also have visual aesthetics and interactive effects. It realizes the dual value of lighting function combined with interactive experience, covering the entire vehicle life cycle from approaching the vehicle, getting in the vehicle, driving, getting out of the vehicle and leaving, truly achieving full coverage of scenarios and full adaptation of functions.

[0054] Existing vehicle welcome functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted according to user preferences. This makes it difficult to meet the diverse needs of users of different ages, aesthetics, and usage habits, resulting in severe homogenization of welcome functions and a lack of exclusivity and uniqueness. This invention, through features such as in-vehicle APP customization settings, ecological species action editing, and style storage, grants users a high degree of autonomy in customization, achieving a personalized experience where each vehicle has a unique style and each person has a unique effect.

[0055] Users can freely select the type, quantity, color, swimming speed, arrangement, and lighting mode of the ecological species via an in-vehicle app. Custom effects can be stored in the ecological species controller. When scenarios such as welcoming guests or accompanying you home are triggered, the system automatically calls up the user-preset scheme to present a unique dynamic effect. For example, users can set multiple electronic fish to arrange in personalized shapes such as initials, hearts, or stars. They can also adjust the lighting color of the ecological species to match the vehicle's interior ambient lighting, achieving integrated lighting effects both inside and outside the vehicle.

[0056] Meanwhile, the system supports multiple user account bindings, allowing different users to store their own personalized plans. The vehicle distinguishes users through car keys, mobile phone Bluetooth, facial recognition, and other methods, automatically loading the customized effects for the corresponding user, achieving precise matching between user, vehicle, and effect. This highly personalized design transforms the vehicle from a standardized means of transportation into an intelligent space with exclusive attributes, significantly enhancing users' sense of identification and affection for the vehicle, and solving the technical pain points of traditional welcome functions being homogenized and lacking personalization.

[0057] This invention adds a state judgment mechanism before controlling ecological species to perform actions, which detects in real time whether the ecological species controller is currently in the driving process, effectively avoiding problems such as action conflicts, lag, and misalignment caused by multiple signal triggers, and improving the stability and smoothness of system operation.

[0058] When an ecological species is performing a welcoming action, if it receives new headlight association information and control commands, the system will not immediately interrupt the current action. Instead, it will control the ecological species to complete the existing driving process before responding to the new command, ensuring a smooth and complete dynamic effect and avoiding abrupt stops or reverse movements. If the ecological species is in a dormant or idle state, it will immediately respond to the new command and execute the corresponding action, balancing response speed and smooth operation.

[0059] Meanwhile, the ecological species and the controller communicate wirelessly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, eliminating the need for complex wiring connections and avoiding faults such as wire wear, short circuits, and poor contact. The wireless transmission method is highly stable and has strong anti-interference capabilities, maintaining signal stability even in complex environments such as vehicle vibration and temperature changes. This ensures that the ecological species accurately receive location information and action commands, move precisely to the designated coordinates, and complete the arrangement and dynamic display.

[0060] In addition, the headlights are equipped with a wireless charging device that can automatically charge when the ecological species enters hibernation or normal mode, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the ecological species and avoiding problems such as slow action and inability to respond due to insufficient power. This improves the reliability of the system for long-term use and solves the defects of traditional dynamic lighting structures that are prone to failure and difficult to maintain.

[0061] The ecological liquid used in this invention is a non-conductive, transparent liquid with insulating, high-temperature resistant, low-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant properties. It will not cause short circuits or corrosion damage to the internal circuitry, light source, controller, or other components of the vehicle headlight, ensuring the normal operation of the headlight's basic lighting function. The ecological liquid is a small electronic device, compact and lightweight, which will not increase the load on the headlight excessively, nor affect its sealing performance or structural strength, and complies with automotive lighting safety standards.

[0062] Both the ecological liquid and the ecological species are made of environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials. Even if leakage occurs under extreme temperatures or collisions, it will not harm the human body, vehicle parts, or the environment, meeting vehicle safety and environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, the ecological landscape is located inside the headlight cover, not protruding from the headlight appearance, not changing the vehicle's drag coefficient, not affecting vehicle stability, and will not interfere with the light of other drivers, ensuring driving safety.

[0063] In normal driving mode, the ecological species can automatically move to non-lit areas without obstructing the main light source or reducing the brightness and illumination range of headlights, position lights, turn signals, and other lights. This ensures that the vehicle lighting meets regulatory requirements, achieving a balance between enhanced interactive experience and basic functional protection, and solving the problem that traditional dynamic decorative structures easily obstruct lighting and affect driving safety.

[0064] In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the automotive industry, characterized by intelligence and product homogenization, lighting systems have become a crucial element in showcasing brand characteristics and product competitiveness. Traditional car lights tend to have similar shapes and functions, making it difficult to create a unique and memorable design. However, the liquid ecological car lights provided by this invention combine dynamic ecological landscape with intelligent control to create highly recognizable vehicle appearance features, allowing the vehicle to display its unique charm whether stationary, welcoming, or in motion.

[0065] For automakers, vehicles equipped with liquid eco-lights can create a differentiated technological selling point, distinguishing them from traditional lighting models and attracting consumers who seek a sense of technology and individuality, thereby enhancing the vehicle's market competitiveness and brand premium. Simultaneously, the shape and movement of the eco-like lights can be customized in conjunction with the brand logo and brand elements to form a unique brand lighting language, strengthening brand image and user awareness, and enhancing brand recognition and influence.

[0066] For users, vehicles equipped with liquid ecological headlights are more unique and stylish, making them easier to identify in scenarios such as nighttime and parking lots, reducing the difficulty of finding the car, while also enhancing the vehicle's aesthetics and sense of class, meeting users' needs for personalized and high-end vehicle appearance.

[0067] Traditional vehicle lights only provide illumination and signal indication, resulting in limited functionality and low utilization. This invention breaks through the traditional functional positioning of vehicle lights, integrating lighting, intelligent interaction, dynamic decoration, and emotional expression into one, transforming vehicle lights from single-function components into intelligent interactive terminals for vehicles.

[0068] In terms of lighting, it retains all the basic functions of traditional car lights, meeting the legal lighting requirements for driving, meeting oncoming traffic, turning, reversing, and warning. In terms of interaction, it realizes human-vehicle interaction and external prompts through the dynamic response of ecological species. In terms of decoration, the liquid ecological landscape can be used as a vehicle exterior decoration to enhance its aesthetics. In terms of emotion, it conveys emotional signals such as welcome, farewell, and reminders through vivid dynamic effects, giving the vehicle emotional attributes.

[0069] This integrated design significantly expands the application scenarios and functional value of vehicle lights, improves the utilization rate of vehicle lights, and makes every detail of the vehicle have both practical and experiential value. It promotes the upgrade of automotive lighting systems from functional to intelligent, interactive, and emotional, leading a new direction in the development of automotive lighting technology.

[0070] The liquid ecological vehicle light structure of this invention has a simple design. The ecological liquid, ecological species, wireless charging device, controller and other components all adopt mature technologies and standardized components. There is no need to make major changes to the vehicle body and the installation position of the vehicle light. It can be adapted to various models such as sedans, SUVs and MPVs, and is compatible with traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. It has strong adaptability and versatility.

[0071] The control logic adopts a modular design, with acquisition, control, and transmission modules that can be independently integrated. This facilitates integration with vehicle body controllers, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and mobile apps, resulting in short software development cycles and low costs, making it suitable for mass production and large-scale applications. Furthermore, the system is easy to maintain; the ecological species can be replaced independently, and the ecological fluid does not require frequent replacement, reducing subsequent use and maintenance costs and demonstrating promising industrialization prospects.

[0072] In nighttime or low-light conditions, the dynamic ecological effect of this invention can serve as an auxiliary warning, making it easier for pedestrians and other vehicles to notice the vehicle, reducing the risk of collisions and improving driving safety. When users get in and out of the vehicle at night, the dynamic ecological effect, in conjunction with the lighting, can clearly illuminate the area around the vehicle, helping users observe their surroundings and avoiding accidents such as bumps and falls, thus improving user safety when getting in and out of the vehicle.

[0073] Meanwhile, the system can provide alerts through specific actions of ecological species when the vehicle is powered on or the doors are not closed, helping users to promptly detect abnormal vehicle conditions, further improving vehicle safety and achieving a dual enhancement of experience and safety.

[0074] With the rapid development of intelligent and connected vehicles, user needs have shifted from basic transportation tools to intelligent mobile spaces, making human-vehicle interaction and emotional experience key industry priorities. This invention follows industry trends by integrating intelligent control, dynamic interaction, and personalized customization into the vehicle lighting system, providing new technical ideas and implementation solutions for automotive intelligence and driving innovation in automotive lighting and intelligent interaction technologies.

[0075] Compared to existing technologies, this invention not only solves the technical problems of traditional welcome lighting, such as monotony, poor interactivity, and severe homogenization, but also achieves a comprehensive upgrade from multiple levels, including user experience, functional expansion, safety and reliability, and industrial application, demonstrating significant technological advancement and practical value. Vehicles equipped with this technology can better meet the modern consumer's needs for intelligent, personalized, safe, and comfortable driving, while also providing the automotive industry with new technological directions and innovative ideas.

[0076] In summary, the liquid ecological vehicle lighting control method, device, and vehicle provided by this invention, through innovative structural design and intelligent control logic, have significant beneficial effects in improving user interaction experience, achieving multi-scenario adaptation, supporting personalized customization, ensuring stable operation, guaranteeing safe use, and enhancing product differentiation. They break through the limitations of traditional vehicle lighting technology, combining practicality, innovation, aesthetics, and safety, and conform to the intelligent and personalized development trend of the automotive industry, possessing high technical value, practical value, and market application prospects.
