[0045] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control method may include:

[0046] Step S101: In response to detecting the occupant's intention to smoke, obtain smoking condition information.

[0047] In this step, the system detects in real time whether the occupant intends to smoke. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the detection method; it can detect whether the occupant intends to smoke by analyzing their behavior using image recognition algorithms, or by detecting whether the occupant issues a command to enter smoking mode. Specifically, if the image recognition algorithm detects that the occupant intends to smoke, smoking condition information is obtained; or, if a command to enter smoking mode is detected, it is considered that the occupant's intention to smoke has been detected, and smoking condition information is obtained. It should be noted that the occupant can submit the command to enter smoking mode in any way, such as through touch controls, voice commands, or eye-tracking.

[0048] Smoking condition information can be provided by occupants, obtained through image recognition algorithms, or detected by sensors; this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on this. Smoking condition information refers to in-vehicle and external information related to the smoking action. In some embodiments of the invention, smoking condition information includes one or more of the following: information on occupants inside the vehicle, information on items carried inside the vehicle, and information about the vehicle's external environment. For example, information on occupants inside the vehicle can be obtained through image recognition algorithms, which can analyze the occupant information (such as the seating position and age group of each occupant); information on items carried inside the vehicle can also be obtained through image recognition algorithms, which can identify whether the items carried inside the vehicle are flammable, explosive, or other dangerous items unsuitable for vehicle transport. External environmental information of the vehicle (such as air quality, humidity, temperature, traffic volume, vehicle speed, and vehicle location information) can be detected by sensors installed in the vehicle (such as air quality detectors, humidity sensors, cameras, etc.) or obtained directly from the server by calling an interface. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific method used to obtain smoking condition information, and other methods besides those mentioned above can also be used to obtain smoking condition information.

[0049] Step S102: Determine whether the smoking condition information meets the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode; if yes, proceed to step S103; if no, proceed to step S104.

[0050] Generally, the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode correspond to smoking condition information. In some embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode include one or more of the following: a target occupant is in the vehicle, the target occupant's age is less than a first age threshold or greater than a second age threshold, the first age threshold is less than the second age threshold, or the target occupant is a pregnant woman; a target item is in the vehicle, and the target item is a flammable or explosive material; the air quality outside the vehicle is worse than a first air quality threshold; a target item is present outside the vehicle; or the vehicle is in an environment where smoking is prohibited (such as a gas station, a scrap yard, etc.).

[0051] All the above thresholds can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any restrictions on them. For example, the first age threshold can be set to 16 or 18, and the second age threshold can be set to 60 or 55; similarly, the air quality threshold can be set to an air quality index level of three, or to air quality index levels four, five, or six, etc. The Air Quality Index (AQI) simplifies pollutant concentrations into a single conceptual index value based on ambient air quality standards and the impact of various pollutants on human health, ecology, and the environment.

[0052] Step S103: Refuse entry into smoking mode and issue a prompt to the occupant refusing entry into smoking mode. In smoking mode, actions related to opening and closing the windows and / or sunroof are performed.

[0053] If the smoking conditions meet the criteria for refusing to enter smoking mode, it means that the current environment inside and outside the vehicle is not suitable for smoking. Therefore, the system will refuse entry to smoking mode and issue a notification to the occupant, indicating that the current environment is unsuitable for smoking. Furthermore, the reason for refusing to enter smoking mode can also be provided to the occupant.

[0054] Step S104: Enter smoking mode.

[0055] If the smoking conditions do not meet the criteria for refusing to enter smoking mode, indicating that the current indoor and outdoor environment is suitable for occupants to smoke, then smoking mode will be activated. Specifically, this mode will work in conjunction with windows, sunroof, air conditioning, and air purifiers to quickly purify the air quality inside the vehicle. This mode typically activates automatically when smoking is detected inside the vehicle, reducing the amount of smoke and harmful substances remaining inside by lowering windows, opening the sunroof, and activating air purification functions.

[0056] Therefore, it can be seen that after detecting the occupant's intention to smoke, the embodiment of the present invention does not directly enter the smoking mode, but first determines whether there is a situation inside or outside the vehicle that is not suitable for smoking. If so, it refuses to enter the smoking mode and issues a prompt to the occupant that it is not allowed to enter the smoking mode. This not only improves the comfort of other occupants in the vehicle, but also reduces safety hazards and improves safety.

[0057] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As another embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle control method may include:

[0058] Step S201: In response to detecting the occupant's intention to smoke, obtain smoking condition information.

[0059] Step S202: Determine whether the smoking condition information meets the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode; if yes, proceed to step S207; if no, proceed to step S203.

[0060] Step S203: Enter smoking mode and detect the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.

[0061] Step S204: Determine whether the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold; if yes, proceed to step S205; if no, proceed to step S206.

[0062] Step S205: Open the windows and / or sunroof to the first degree of opening.

[0063] Step S206: Open the windows and / or sunroof to the second degree of opening.

[0064] Step S207: Refuse to enter smoking mode and issue a prompt to the occupants that they refuse to enter smoking mode.

[0065] If the smoking conditions do not meet the criteria for refusing to enter smoking mode, it indicates that the current environment inside and outside the vehicle is suitable for occupants to smoke. In this case, smoking mode is activated, for example, by linking windows, sunroof, air conditioning, and air purifiers to help quickly purify the air quality inside the vehicle. Specifically, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is detected, and it is determined whether the temperature difference is greater than or equal to a temperature difference threshold. If so, the windows and / or sunroof are opened to a first opening degree; otherwise, they are opened to a second opening degree, where the first opening degree is less than the second. If the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold, it indicates a large temperature difference. To improve the comfort of the occupants, the windows and / or sunroof are opened to a smaller opening degree. This not only ensures the comfort of the occupants but also helps purify the air quality inside the vehicle. If the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is less than the temperature difference threshold, it indicates a small temperature difference. The windows and / or sunroof can be opened to a larger opening degree, which helps to quickly purify the air quality inside the vehicle without reducing the comfort of the occupants.

[0066] Optionally, after step S205 or S206, the method may further include: acquiring external environmental information of the vehicle, and in response to the external environmental information meeting the smoking mode termination condition, issuing a confirmation to the occupant to end smoking or exit the smoking mode; wherein, the external environmental information includes at least one of the following: air quality, air humidity, temperature, traffic volume, vehicle speed, and vehicle location information. After the windows and / or sunroof are opened, the external environmental information of the vehicle is acquired at regular intervals, and it is determined whether the external environmental information meets the smoking termination condition (such as one or more of the following: the air quality outside the vehicle is worse than a first air quality threshold, there is a target object outside the vehicle, the environment in which the vehicle is located is a no-smoking environment). If the condition is met, it indicates that the current external environmental information is not suitable for smoking, and then a confirmation to the occupant to end smoking or exit the smoking mode is issued. For example, if the air quality outside the vehicle is poor, the humidity is high, the traffic volume is heavy, the surrounding vehicles are moving slowly, or there are gas stations or scrap yards nearby, these external environmental conditions are not suitable for continuing to open the windows for ventilation or continue smoking, as these pose safety hazards. Therefore, passengers are asked to confirm whether they want to stop smoking or exit the smoking mode, which can reduce safety hazards or ensure passenger comfort.

[0067] Alternatively, external environmental information can be obtained directly from the server or collected through sensors installed on the vehicle, such as air quality detectors, humidity sensors, and cameras.

[0068] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As another embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle control method may include:

[0069] Step S301: In response to detecting the occupant's intention to smoke, obtain smoking condition information.

[0070] Step S302: Determine whether the smoking condition information meets the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode; if yes, proceed to step S307; if no, proceed to step S303.

[0071] Step S303: Enter smoking mode and detect the air quality outside the vehicle.

[0072] Step S304: Determine whether the air quality inside and outside the vehicle is better than the second air quality threshold; if yes, proceed to step S305; if no, proceed to step S306.

[0073] Step S305: Open the windows and / or sunroof to the third degree of opening.

[0074] Step S306: Open the windows and / or sunroof to the fourth degree of opening.

[0075] Step S307: Refuse to enter smoking mode and issue a prompt to the occupants that they are not allowed to enter smoking mode.

[0076] If the smoking conditions do not meet the criteria for refusing to enter smoking mode, indicating that the current indoor and outdoor environment is suitable for occupants to smoke, then smoking mode is activated. This involves activating devices such as windows, sunroof, air conditioning, and air purifiers to quickly purify the air quality inside the vehicle. Specifically, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is detected, and the air quality is assessed to determine if it is better than a second air quality threshold. If so, the windows and / or sunroof are opened to a third degree of openness; otherwise, they are opened to a fourth degree of openness, where the fourth degree of openness is less than the third degree. If the air quality is better than the second threshold, the windows and / or sunroof can be opened to a larger degree of openness, which helps to quickly purify the air quality inside the vehicle without reducing the comfort of the occupants. If the air quality is worse than the second threshold, the windows and / or sunroof are opened to a smaller degree of openness to improve the comfort of the occupants, thus ensuring both occupant comfort and air quality purification.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second air quality threshold is superior to the first air quality threshold. If the air quality outside the vehicle is superior to the first air quality threshold, the vehicle enters a smoking mode. After entering smoking mode, it is further determined whether the air quality outside the vehicle is superior to the second air quality threshold. For example, the first air quality threshold can be level four, and the second air quality threshold can be level three, or the first air quality threshold can be level three, and the second air quality threshold can be level two. Each air quality threshold can be set according to actual needs.

[0078] Optionally, after step S305 or S306, the method may further include: acquiring external environmental information of the vehicle; and in response to the external environmental information meeting the smoking mode termination condition, issuing a confirmation to the occupant to end smoking or exiting the smoking mode; wherein the external environmental information includes at least one of the following: air quality, air humidity, temperature, traffic volume, vehicle speed, and vehicle location information. After the windows and / or sunroof are opened, the external environmental information of the vehicle is acquired at regular intervals, and it is determined whether the external environmental information meets the smoking termination condition (such as one or more of the following: the air quality outside the vehicle is worse than a first air quality threshold, there is a target object outside the vehicle, or the environment in which the vehicle is located is a no-smoking environment). If the condition is met, it indicates that the current external environmental information is not suitable for smoking, and then a confirmation to the occupant to end smoking or exit the smoking mode is issued. For example, if the air quality outside the vehicle is poor, the humidity is high, the traffic volume is heavy, the surrounding vehicles are moving slowly, or there are gas stations or scrap yards nearby, these external environmental conditions are not suitable for continuing to open the windows for ventilation or continue smoking, as these pose safety hazards. Therefore, passengers are asked to confirm whether they want to stop smoking or exit the smoking mode, which can reduce safety hazards or ensure passenger comfort.

[0079] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As another embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle control method may include:

[0080] Step S401: In response to detecting the occupant's intention to smoke, obtain smoking condition information.

[0081] Step S402: Determine whether the smoking condition information meets the conditions for refusing to enter the smoking mode; if yes, proceed to step S403; if no, proceed to step S407.

[0082] Step S403: Refuse to enter smoking mode.

[0083] Step S404: Prompt the occupants to refuse to enter smoking mode.

[0084] Step S405: Determine whether a confirmation result for the prompt has been received from the passenger; if not, proceed to step S406; if yes, end.

[0085] Step S406: Enter smoking mode and control the opening of the windows and / or sunroof away from the target occupant, or control the opening of the windows and / or sunroof away from the target object.

[0086] Step S407: Enter smoking mode.

[0087] If the smoking conditions are met, entry into the smoking mode will be refused, and a notification will be sent to the occupant. Upon receiving this notification, the occupant can submit a confirmation, indicating their acceptance of the vehicle entering smoking mode, at which point the process ends. If no confirmation is received within a preset time period (e.g., 2, 3, or 5 seconds), indicating the occupant still wishes to enter smoking mode, the vehicle will enter smoking mode, and windows and / or the sunroof will be opened away from the target occupant (e.g., occupants younger than the first age threshold or older than the second age threshold, or pregnant women), or windows and / or the sunroof will be opened away from the target item (e.g., flammable or explosive items). This satisfies the smoking needs of the occupants, improves the comfort of other passengers, reduces safety hazards, and enhances safety.

[0088] This invention also provides a vehicle-mounted terminal, including: one or more processors; and a storage device for storing one or more programs, wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0089] This invention also provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and the vehicle-mounted terminal described in the above embodiments, wherein the vehicle-mounted terminal is disposed on the vehicle body.

[0090] Figure 5 An exemplary vehicle system architecture 500 is shown, to which vehicle control methods or vehicle control devices of embodiments of the present invention can be applied.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle system architecture 500 may include various systems, such as an autonomous driving system 501, a powertrain system 502, a sensor system 503, a control system 504, one or more peripheral devices 505, a power supply 506, a computer system 507, and a user interface 508. Optionally, the vehicle system architecture 500 may include more or fewer systems, and each system may include multiple components. Furthermore, each system and component of the vehicle system architecture 500 can be interconnected via wired or wireless means.

[0092] The vehicle system architecture 500 includes an autonomous driving system 501, which can be in a fully or partially autonomous driving mode. For example, the autonomous driving system 501 can automatically control the vehicle's driving without human interaction; the autonomous driving system 501 can also control the vehicle's autonomous driving while in autonomous driving mode, and can also adjust the autonomous driving behavior of the autonomous driving system 501 through human interaction.

[0093] The powertrain 502 may include components that provide power to the vehicle. For example, the powertrain 502 may include an engine, an energy source, a transmission, wheels, tires, etc. The engine may be an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, an air-compressed engine, or other combinations of engines, such as a hybrid engine consisting of a gasoline engine and an electric motor, or a hybrid engine consisting of an internal combustion engine and an air-compressed engine. The engine converts the energy source into mechanical energy to supply the transmission. Examples of energy sources may include gasoline, diesel, other petroleum-based fuels, propane, other compressed gas-based fuels, ethanol, solar panels, batteries, and other electrical sources. The energy source may also provide energy to other systems in the vehicle. Furthermore, the transmission may include a gearbox, a differential, a drive shaft, and a clutch, etc.

[0094] Sensor system 503 may include sensors for sensing the vehicle's surrounding environment. Examples include a positioning system (which may be a Global Positioning System (GPS), BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, or other positioning systems), radar, a laser rangefinder, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a camera. The positioning system can be used to determine the vehicle's geographical location. The IMU is used to sense changes in the vehicle's position and orientation based on inertial acceleration. In one embodiment, the IMU may be a combination of an accelerometer and a gyroscope. Radar can use radio signals to sense objects in the vehicle's surrounding environment. In some embodiments, in addition to sensing objects, radar can also be used to sense the speed and / or direction of travel of objects.

[0095] To detect environmental information and objects located in front of, behind, or to the sides of the vehicle, radar, cameras, and other devices can be configured at appropriate locations on the exterior of the vehicle. For example, to acquire an image of the front of the vehicle, a camera can be configured inside the vehicle and close to the windshield. Alternatively, the camera can be configured around the front bumper or radiator grille. Similarly, to acquire an image of the rear of the vehicle, a camera can be configured inside the vehicle and close to the rear window. Alternatively, the camera can be configured around the rear bumper, trunk, or tailgate. To acquire images of the sides of the vehicle, a camera can be configured inside the vehicle and close to at least one of the side windows. Alternatively, the camera can be configured around the side mirrors, fenders, or doors.

[0096] Laser rangefinders use lasers to sense objects in the environment in which a vehicle is located.

[0097] A camera can be used to capture multiple images of the vehicle's surroundings. The camera can be a still or video camera.

[0098] The control system 504 may include software systems for implementing autonomous driving, such as a route planning system, an obstacle avoidance system, and a vision system for image analysis. The control system 504 may also include hardware systems such as an accelerator and steering wheel system. Furthermore, the control system 504 may add or replace components other than those shown and described. Alternatively, some of the components shown above may be reduced.

[0099] The control system 504 interacts with external sensors, other autonomous driving devices, other computer systems, or occupants via peripheral devices 505. Peripheral devices 505 may include wireless communication systems, on-board computers, microphones, and / or speakers.

[0100] In some embodiments, peripheral device 505 provides a means for occupant-to-occupant interface interaction with control system 504. For example, an on-board computer may provide information to the occupants of the vehicle. The occupant interface may also operate the on-board computer to receive occupant input. The on-board computer may be operated via a touchscreen. In other cases, peripheral device may provide a means for communicating with other devices located within the vehicle. For example, a microphone may receive audio (e.g., voice commands or other audio input) from the occupants of control system 504. Similarly, a speaker may output audio to the occupants of control system 504.

[0101] Wireless communication systems can communicate wirelessly with one or more devices, either directly or via a communication network. For example, wireless communication systems can use networks such as cellular networks, WiFi, and wireless local area networks (WLANs), or they can use infrared links, Bluetooth, or ZigBee to communicate directly with devices. Other wireless protocols include those used in various autonomous driving communication systems.

[0102] Power source 506 can provide power to various components of the vehicle. Power source 506 can be a rechargeable lithium-ion or lead-acid battery.

[0103] The computer system 507 controls some or all of the functions enabling autonomous driving. The computer system 507 may include at least one processor that executes instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium such as memory. The computer system 507 provides the execution code for the aforementioned autonomous driving system to implement autonomous driving.

[0104] The processor can be any conventional processor, such as a commercially available central processing unit (CPU). Alternatively, the processor can be a dedicated device such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or other hardware-based processor. Those skilled in the art will understand that the processor, computer, or memory can actually include multiple processors, computers, or memories that may or may not be stored in the same physical housing. For example, memory can be a hard disk drive or other storage media located in a housing different from that of a computer. Therefore, references to processors or computers will be understood to include references to a collection of processors or computers or memories that may or may not operate in parallel. Unlike using a single processor to perform the steps described herein, some components, such as steering and deceleration components, may each have their own processor that performs calculations only related to the component's specific function.

[0105] User interface 508 is used to provide information to or receive information from users of the vehicle. Optionally, user interface 508 may include one or more input / output devices within a set of peripheral devices 505, such as wireless communication systems, on-board computers, microphones, and speakers.

[0106] It should be understood that the components described above are merely an example. In actual applications, components in the various modules or systems mentioned above may be added or removed as needed. Figure 5 This should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of this application.

[0107] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable medium is also provided, on which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, implements the methods described in any of the above embodiments.

[0108] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program product is also provided, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the methods described in any of the above embodiments.
