[0002] Currently, with the development of intelligent vehicles, the demand for in-vehicle tea breaks is increasing. In related technologies, in-vehicle islands are mostly fixed in layout, making it difficult to meet the needs of passengers to create a comfortable tea break area within the limited interior space. Therefore, the aforementioned technologies struggle to achieve intelligent linkage between the physical state of the island and the tea break scenario, resulting in a fragmented experience for passengers, lacking convenience and immersion. Thus, the technical problem of poor control over in-vehicle islands remains.

If the target control strategy is a support strategy, the island's support base can be moved according to the support strategy. The moved support base can then be fixed. If the support base is successfully fixed, at least one storage unit on the island can be switched from a closed state to an open state. Using the fixed support base and the open storage unit, the island can meet the functional requirements of the vehicle in a tea break scenario. In other words, in this embodiment, by responding to the strategy selection command and intelligently matching the target control strategy, the scenario-based and automated control of the island is achieved.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of controlling a vehicle island console according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1As shown, the scenario described above may include terminal device 10, network 20, and vehicle 30. Terminal device 10 can be used to obtain user (e.g., a passenger in the vehicle) control trigger strategy selection instructions for the vehicle's central console. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, laptop, or personal computer, or a graphical user interface on the vehicle used for interaction with the passenger. The strategy selection instructions can be sent to vehicle 30 via network 20. At this point, vehicle 30 needs to execute steps S102 to S108 to control the vehicle's central console according to the strategy selection instructions, thus fulfilling the vehicle's functional requirements in the tea break scenario.

[0033] The following steps can be performed by vehicle 30: Step S102, in response to the strategy selection command for the island platform, select the target control strategy from the control strategy set of the island platform; Step S104, in response to the target control strategy being the support strategy, control the support base of the island platform to perform a movement operation according to the support strategy; Step S106, control the moved support base to perform a fixing operation; Step S108, in response to the successful fixing of the support base, control at least one storage unit of the island platform to switch from a closed state to an open state.

[0034] In this embodiment, through steps S102 to S108, the target control strategy is intelligently matched by responding to the strategy selection command, thus realizing the scenario-based and automated control of the island console. For tea break needs, the support strategy is prioritized to control the movement and fixation of the support base, ensuring the physical stability of the support base. The storage unit is then opened in conjunction with this. This linkage mechanism based on physical state locking effectively avoids fragmentation of the experience for passengers in the tea break scenario, thereby improving the convenience of the tea break scenario and the immersion of passengers in the tea break scenario. This solves the technical problem of poor control effect of the vehicle's island console, achieving the technical effect of improving the control effect of the vehicle's island console.

[0035] According to an embodiment of this application, an embodiment of a control method for a vehicle island is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a control method for a vehicle island console according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0037] Step S202: In response to the strategy selection instruction for the island, select the target control strategy from the control strategy set of the island.

[0038] In the technical solution provided in step S202 of this application, the strategy selection instruction can be used to trigger the island to select a control strategy from input signals or instructions. The strategy selection instruction reflects the functional mode of the island that the user expects to execute. The control strategy set can include a set of preset rules for controlling the island to execute different functional modes. This control strategy set can cover control logic for different vehicle usage scenarios, and may include, but is not limited to: tea break lifting and rotating strategies, table flipping and assembling strategies, and cleaning strategies.

[0039] Optionally, the aforementioned target control strategy can be a rule for controlling the island platform selected from the control strategy set based on the received strategy selection instruction. For example, if the aforementioned strategy selection instruction reflects the user's expectation to execute the functional mode of the tea break scenario to meet the tea break needs, the target control strategy can be a tea break lifting and rotating strategy to guide the subsequent movement and fixing of the support base and the opening operation of the storage unit.

[0040] In this embodiment, if a strategy selection instruction for the island is detected, the target control strategy indicated by the strategy selection instruction can be selected from the island's control strategy set.

[0041] Optionally, the control strategy set can be retrieved or mapped and matched according to the received strategy selection instruction. For example, if the strategy selection instruction indicates that the user expects to execute the function mode of the tea break scenario, the corresponding tea break lifting and rotating strategy can be selected from the control strategy set as the target control strategy. If the strategy selection instruction indicates that the user expects to execute the function mode of the dining scenario, the table flipping and assembling strategy can be selected from the control strategy set.

[0042] In step S204, in response to the target control strategy being a support strategy, the support base of the island platform is controlled to perform a movement operation according to the support strategy.

[0043] In the technical solution provided in step S204 of this application, the support strategy can be used to represent the rules for controlling the support base. For example, it can be used to control the island platform to perform specific physical shape changes or position adjustments. The aforementioned support strategy can be a tea break lifting and rotating strategy, which aims to achieve a physical state transition from the island platform's regular driving mode to the tea break mode by controlling the movement of the island platform's internal mechanisms.

[0044] Optionally, the support base can refer to a mechanical structural component within the island that provides support, lifting, and rotation for a specific functional area. In this embodiment, the support base can refer to a tea table cup holder, located within the main body of the island, for supporting items such as cups and teaware. The aforementioned support base possesses the functional degrees of freedom for vertical lifting and horizontal rotation.

[0045] Optionally, the aforementioned movement operation can refer to a mechanical action process driven by a support strategy, acting on the support base to change the spatial position or orientation of the support base. The movement operation can be a lifting drive control; for example, it can control the cup holder of the tea table to rise vertically from the bottom of the island, accompanied by a horizontal rotation. The purpose of this movement operation is to adjust the support base from its initial state corresponding to the normal driving mode (e.g., the initial storage position) to a target state (e.g., the tea break usage position in tea break mode).

[0046] In this embodiment, after selecting a target control strategy from the control strategy set of the island platform, if the target control strategy is a support strategy, the support base of the island platform can be controlled according to the support strategy to perform a movement operation.

[0047] Optionally, if the target control strategy is identified as a support strategy, the specific control rules contained within the support strategy are analyzed. Based on the control rules, the support base is controlled to perform a movement operation. For example, the support base is controlled to rise vertically from its initial storage position at the bottom of the island, and simultaneously or sequentially perform a horizontal rotation until it reaches the preset tea break usage position that conforms to the ergonomic tea break scenario, thereby forming a tea table layout that meets the needs of a tea break.

[0048] Optionally, the success of the support base movement can be determined by monitoring whether the moved support base is in the designated tea break position. For example, the position of the support base can be monitored in real time using sensors. If the support base has accurately reached the preset lifting height and rotation angle for the tea break, and the lifting and rotation speeds have decreased to zero or are stable, the movement of the support base is considered complete.

[0049] In this embodiment, the method described above, by responding to a support strategy and controlling the support base to perform a movement operation, automatically activates the tea break mode of the island table in a tea break scenario. This activation process requires no manual user operation. This not only simplifies the user interaction process but also enhances the convenience of the island table in meeting the needs of tea break operations.

[0050] Step S206: Control the moved support base to perform a fixing operation.

[0051] In the technical solution of step S206 of this application, the aforementioned fixing operation can be used to mechanically lock the support base in its moved position to prevent displacement or deformation of the support base during subsequent use or vehicle operation. The fixing operation can refer to limiting and locking, for example, by using a mechanical structure or electronic control mechanism in the island platform to rigidly or semi-rigidly constrain the support base in its raised and rotated tea break position. This fixing operation ensures that the support base remains stable when carrying teaware or water cups, preventing it from retracting or shaking due to vehicle bumps or external contact.

[0052] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the support base of the island platform to perform a moving operation according to the support strategy, the moved support base can be controlled to perform a fixing operation.

[0053] Optionally, after the support base completes its lifting, rotating, and other movement operations and reaches the preset tea break position, a fixing operation can be triggered. Based on the preset locking logic in the fixing operation, the support base is rigidly or semi-rigidly connected to the main body of the island or the vehicle frame. The execution of the above fixing operation aims to eliminate the support base's degrees of freedom in the vertical and horizontal directions, ensuring that the support base will not shift, tilt, or fall when supporting items such as teapots and cups.

[0054] Optionally, the success of the fixing operation depends on whether the locking mechanism used to fix the support base is accurately engaged or locked. For example, the actual state of the support base can be detected by a position sensor, current feedback, or mechanical positioning signal. If the actual position signal of the support base matches the position signal corresponding to the preset tea break usage position, and the feedback signal from the locking mechanism indicates that the support base is in a closed or locked state, the fixing operation is considered successful. At this time, the support base is confirmed to be in a stable fixed state and has the load-bearing function.

[0055] In this embodiment, the above method effectively solves the structural stability problem after dynamic movement by controlling the moving support base to perform a fixing operation. The introduction of limit locking ensures that the tea table cup holder remains absolutely still and stable after being unfolded, avoiding the risk of structural shaking or collapse caused by vehicle vibration or operational errors, ensuring the safety of items placed by users during tea breaks, and preventing teaware from tipping over or being damaged.

[0056] In step S208, in response to the successful fixing of the support base, at least one storage unit of the control island is switched from a closed state to an open state.

[0057] In the technical solution of step S208 of this application, the aforementioned storage unit can refer to a storage space component disposed inside or on the surface of the island, used for storing items and having an independent opening and closing structure. In the embodiment of this application, the aforementioned storage unit can refer to a drawer disposed below the support base of the island. If the aforementioned drawer can have multiple layers, at least one of the multiple drawers can be opened in a tea break scenario. The at least one drawer that needs to be opened in a tea break scenario can be configured to have a specific opening and closing direction and internal space, used to provide a dedicated item storage area for passengers in a tea break scenario.

[0058] Optionally, the aforementioned closed state can refer to the storage unit being in its initial position of being closed, sealed, or retracted into the main body of the island. In the aforementioned closed state, the outer surface of the storage unit is flush with the island shell or hidden inside the island, and the internal space is in a closed and isolated state, preventing items from falling, accumulating dust, or being disturbed by external factors, while also ensuring the overall aesthetics of the vehicle interior and safety during driving.

[0059] Optionally, the aforementioned open state can refer to the storage unit sliding or rotating from its closed state along a predetermined direction (e.g., forward or backward) to expose the unclosed position of the internal storage space. In this open state, the internal space of the storage unit is connected to the external environment, facilitating user access to items. For example, in a tea break scenario, an open drawer can expose a pre-designed tea set storage area or tableware storage area for convenient, scenario-specific retrieval.

[0060] In this embodiment, after the support base is moved and fixed, if the support base is successfully fixed, at least one storage unit of the island can be controlled to switch from a closed state to an open state.

[0061] Optionally, the action of switching the storage unit from a closed state to an open state is executed. This action is predicated on the successful confirmation that the support base has been secured. Based on this premise, the opening and closing control logic of the storage unit is triggered. For example, at least one storage unit of the island (e.g., a drawer) can be controlled to unlock and move along a preset guide path (e.g., a sliding rail), exposing the internal space of the drawer to the outside.

[0062] Optionally, the system utilizes a fixed support base and an open storage unit to meet the functional requirements of a tea break setting. In this state, the support base is stable and fixed, forming a "tabletop" or "support surface" within the tea break area, safely holding items such as hot beverage pots and teacups without shaking or shifting. Simultaneously, the open storage unit constitutes a "storage area" or "retrieval area," allowing users to directly access matching teaware, sugar packets, or wet wipes from the open drawers. The stability of the support base combined with the convenience of the storage unit creates a fully functional, safe, and comfortable "mobile tea room" environment, fulfilling users' needs for tea breaks and relaxation.

[0063] It should be noted that the steps for controlling the support base and storage unit in the tea break scenario in this application embodiment can be performed in parallel, or it can be the process of moving the support base first and then controlling the storage unit to open, as described in the above method, or it can be the process of controlling the storage unit to open first and then moving and fixing the support base. There is no specific restriction on the order of controlling the support base and storage unit here.

[0064] In this embodiment, the method described above achieves organic coordination and seamless connection of functional modules in a tea break setting by responding to the fixed state of the support base and controlling the opening of the storage unit. This state-linked control method ensures that the storage space is only opened when the support structure is stable and reliable, logically avoiding the tipping of items or difficulty in retrieving items due to unstable support, thus significantly improving safety during use.

[0065] In steps S202 to S208 of this application, if a strategy selection command for the island is detected, the target control strategy indicated by the strategy selection command can be selected from the island's control strategy set. If the target control strategy is a support strategy, the island's support base can be moved according to the support strategy. The moved support base can then be fixed. If the support base is successfully fixed, at least one storage unit on the island can be switched from a closed state to an open state. Using the fixed support base and the open storage unit, the island can meet the functional requirements of the vehicle in a tea break scenario. In other words, in this embodiment, by responding to the strategy selection command and intelligently matching the target control strategy, the scenario-based and automated control of the island is achieved. For tea break needs, the support strategy is prioritized to control the movement and fixation of the support base, ensuring the physical stability of the support base. The storage unit is then opened in conjunction with the support strategy. The aforementioned linkage mechanism based on physical state locking effectively avoids the fragmentation of the experience for drivers and passengers in the tea break scenario, thereby improving the convenience of the tea break scenario and the immersion of drivers and passengers in the tea break scenario. This solves the technical problem of poor control effect of the vehicle island console and achieves the technical effect of improving the control effect of the vehicle island console.

[0066] The method described in this embodiment will be further described below.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, step S208, in response to successfully fixing the support base, controls at least one storage unit of the island to switch from a closed state to an open state, includes: in response to successfully fixing the support base, determining at least one storage unit matching the tea break scenario from the storage unit collection of the island; performing a state switching operation on the at least one storage unit in the closed state, wherein the storage unit after the state switching operation is in the open state.

[0068] In this embodiment, during the process of switching at least one storage unit of the control island from a closed state to an open state, if the support base is successfully fixed, at least one storage unit matching the tea break scenario can be identified from the island's storage unit collection. A state switching operation can be performed on the at least one storage unit in the closed state, thereby switching the storage unit from the closed state to the open state.

[0069] The storage unit set can refer to a collection of storage spaces with opening and closing functions, located inside the island counter. In this embodiment, the storage unit set may include two drawers, namely, a first drawer at the top and a second drawer at the bottom.

[0070] Optionally, at least one storage unit matching the tea break scenario can refer to a storage unit selected from the storage unit set based on the currently activated tea break scenario's functional requirements for storing or retrieving tea break-related items. For example, in a two-drawer configuration, at least one storage unit matching the tea break scenario can refer to the upper first drawer. This at least one storage unit matching the tea break scenario is configured to open during the tea break scenario and is used to store items directly related to tea drinking activities, such as teaware, teacups, tea bags, or a kettle.

[0071] Optionally, the aforementioned state switching operation can refer to a mechanical control process that controls a storage unit in a closed state to unlock and move along a preset path, thereby changing it to an open state. In this embodiment, the aforementioned state switching operation can be performed on at least one storage unit that matches the tea break scenario. The aforementioned state switching operation includes driving the drawer from a closed state, fully retracted into the island body, to an open state that exposes the internal storage space, allowing the user to directly access the tea break items stored inside the drawer.

[0072] Optionally, the action of determining at least one storage unit matching the tea break scene from the island's storage unit set is performed. The island's storage unit set includes all independent storage components with opening and closing functions, such as upper and lower drawers. When the tea break scene is activated and the supporting base is fixed, the control logic retrieves the storage unit set according to a preset scene mapping relationship. Since the core requirement of the tea break scene is to obtain items such as teaware and water cups, and according to the design layout, the upper first drawer is usually configured to store such items, while the lower second drawer may store other miscellaneous items or tableware. Therefore, the logic judgment module identifies that the upper first drawer is directly related to the functional requirements of the tea break scene, and thus determines this first drawer from the storage unit set as at least one storage unit matching the tea break scene.

[0073] Optionally, after identifying at least one storage unit that matches the tea break scenario, a control signal can be sent to the actuator of the at least one storage unit. Using the control signal, the actuator can be controlled to perform a state switching operation on the storage unit. For example, the actuator can drive the storage unit to slide outward along a preset guide rail, releasing the lock until the internal storage space of the storage unit is exposed, thus confirming that the storage unit has entered the open state.

[0074] In this embodiment, the method described above significantly improves the accuracy of scenario-based services and user experience by centrally filtering and opening only specific storage units that match the tea break scenario. This on-demand opening strategy avoids the confusion users experience when all drawers are open simultaneously, directly providing the most relevant storage space for tea break items and simplifying the retrieval process.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, the state switching operation includes a pushing operation and a locking operation. Performing the state switching operation on at least one storage unit in a closed state includes: responding to an opening command for at least one storage unit in a closed state, controlling a push-pull mechanism associated with the storage unit to perform a pushing operation on the storage unit; responding to the storage unit moving from an initial position corresponding to the closed state to a target position after being pushed, controlling a locking mechanism associated with the storage unit to perform a locking operation on the storage unit, wherein the storage unit locked after the locking operation is in an open state at the target position.

[0076] In this embodiment, during the state switching operation of at least one storage unit in a closed state, in response to the opening command of at least one storage unit in a closed state, the push-pull mechanism associated with the storage unit can be controlled to perform a push operation on the storage unit. If the pushed storage unit moves from the initial position corresponding to the closed state to the target position, the locking mechanism associated with the storage unit can be controlled to perform a locking operation on the storage unit. After being locked by the locking operation, the storage unit is in an open state at the target position.

[0077] The pushing operation can refer to the mechanical displacement process in which a closed storage unit moves outward along a preset track from its initial position until it reaches a target position, driven by a push-pull mechanism. In this embodiment, the pushing operation can be a drawer-limiting sliding opening, for example, by driving a push-pull mechanism to smoothly push and pull the first drawer located above from its closed state within the island body to a predetermined position that exposes the internal storage space.

[0078] Optionally, the aforementioned locking operation can refer to a mechanical locking process in which, after the storage unit reaches the target position, the locking mechanism fixes the storage unit in the target position to prevent the storage unit from retracting or shifting due to external force or vibration. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned locking operation can manifest as the locking mechanism closing and locking. For example, when the first drawer moves into place, the locking mechanism actuates to rigidly connect or snap-fit ​​the drawer to the island body or vehicle frame.

[0079] Optionally, the aforementioned push-pull mechanism may refer to a mechanical transmission component disposed inside the island counter, used to provide power and guide the storage unit to reciprocate along a linear track. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned push-pull mechanism may be a single-layer push-pull mechanism connected between the first drawer and the main body of the island counter.

[0080] Optionally, the locking mechanism can refer to a constraint component installed inside the island platform, used to mechanically fix the storage unit after it has been moved to the target position, preventing unexpected displacement or retraction of the storage unit. The locking mechanism can use mechanical latches, electromagnetic locks, or self-locking gears to rigidly or semi-rigidly connect the open storage unit to the island platform body, ensuring that the storage unit remains stable when the user retrieves or places items such as teaware, preventing shaking or accidental closure due to vehicle bumps or operational forces, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of use in tea break settings.

[0081] Optionally, the aforementioned initial position may refer to the default storage position of the storage unit relative to the island body when the storage unit is in the closed state. In this embodiment, the aforementioned initial position may refer to the position where the first drawer is pushed into the island body, flush with the island shell or hidden inside the island. The aforementioned target position may refer to the final open position reached by the storage unit after the pushing operation is completed and the position sensor confirms the positioning signal. In this embodiment, the aforementioned target position may refer to a specific extended position where the first drawer is pushed to expose the internal storage space.

[0082] Optionally, the trigger condition for the push-pull mechanism to perform a pushing operation on the storage unit is receiving an opening command for at least one storage unit that is in a closed state. Based on the opening command, the push-pull mechanism associated with the storage unit is activated. The push-pull mechanism can convert electrical or hydraulic energy into mechanical kinetic energy to drive the storage unit to move along a preset guide track. In the above process, the storage unit starts to move from the initial position corresponding to the closed state (that is, the position stored inside the island) and gradually extends outward.

[0083] Optionally, the trigger condition for the locking mechanism to perform the locking operation on the storage unit is confirmation that the pushed storage unit has moved from its initial position to the target position. This confirmation operation can be achieved by acquiring a position signal from a position sensor, indicating that the storage unit has accurately reached the target position (i.e., the predetermined open position). Upon receiving the position signal, the locking mechanism associated with the storage unit is activated. The locking mechanism performs a closing and locking action, rigidly connecting the storage unit at the target position to the island platform body or vehicle frame through a mechanical latch, electromagnetic adsorption, or self-locking structure. After the locking operation, the storage unit is fixed in the target position, in a stable open state, thereby preventing displacement, retraction, or shaking of the storage unit during subsequent use or vehicle operation, ensuring safety and stability during use.

[0084] In this embodiment, the method achieves high reliability and safety in the opening process of the storage unit by performing the pushing and locking operations in stages. The pushing operation ensures that the storage unit can accurately and smoothly reach the designated position, realizing the on-demand release of functions; while the subsequent locking operation solves the stability problem of the moving parts in a stationary state, eliminating the risk of accidental closing or shaking caused by vehicle vibration or user operation.

[0085] As an optional embodiment, step S206, controlling the moved support base to perform a fixing operation, includes: controlling the moved support base to perform a fixing operation according to the first pose information of the moved support base and the second pose information of the driver and passenger in the vehicle, wherein the first pose information is used to represent the pose state of the moved support base and the second pose information is used to represent the pose state of the driver and passenger in the vehicle.

[0086] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the moved support base to perform the fixing operation, the fixing operation can be controlled according to the first pose information of the moved support base and the second pose information of the occupants in the vehicle. The first pose information refers to the spatial state parameters of the moved support base relative to the vehicle's internal coordinate system after completing position adjustment and attitude transformation. In this embodiment, the first pose information may include the three-dimensional position coordinates and attitude angles (e.g., pitch angle, yaw angle, roll angle) of the support base.

[0087] Optionally, the aforementioned second pose information may refer to the spatial state parameters of the driver and passenger within the vehicle. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned second pose information may refer to the position coordinates and body posture data of the driver and passenger (e.g., sitting angle, head position, limb distribution, etc.).

[0088] Optionally, the first pose information of the moved support base is acquired. Simultaneously, the second pose information of the occupants in the vehicle is acquired. Subsequently, spatial mapping and interference detection analysis are performed on the first and second pose information to calculate the optimal path and final locking position for the support base's fixing action. Based on the optimal path and final locking position, the actuator is controlled to drive the support base to perform the fixing operation.

[0089] Optionally, during the fixing operation of the support base based on the optimal path and final locking position, the actuator can be controlled to drive the support base to make fine adjustments along the calculated optimal path. This eliminates potential cumulative errors during movement and ensures that the spatial relative position between the support base and the passenger is within a preset safety threshold. Simultaneously, it verifies that there are no dynamic obstacles or intrusions into the human body envelope defined by the passenger's second pose information along the optimal path. When the support base reaches the final locking position, the actuator is controlled to lock the support state. For example, the support base is fixed in the final locking position by means of electromagnetic lock adsorption, mechanical lock engagement, or hydraulic cylinder pressure holding, thereby completing the fixing operation and ensuring that the support base remains stationary and stable in the tea break scenario.

[0090] In this embodiment of the application, the above method significantly improves the safety and comfort of the island platform facility in a human-machine integrated environment by coordinating the control of the fixing operation based on the first posture information of the support base and the second posture information of the driver / passenger.

[0091] As an optional embodiment, the moving support base is controlled to perform a fixing operation based on the first pose information of the moved support base and the second pose information of the driver and passenger in the vehicle, including: determining the matching degree between the first pose information and the second pose information; and controlling the moving support base to perform a fixing operation in response to the matching degree being greater than or equal to a matching degree threshold.

[0092] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the moved support base to perform a fixing operation, the matching degree between the first pose information and the second pose information can be determined. If the matching degree is greater than or equal to the matching degree threshold, the moved support base can be controlled to perform a fixing operation.

[0093] The matching degree refers to a quantitative indicator reflecting the coordination, compatibility, and safety between the first pose information of the moved support base and the second pose information of the occupants in the vehicle in terms of spatial position and posture. In this embodiment, the matching degree is obtained by calculating the spatial overlap rate, distance deviation, or geometric interference degree between the target fixed area of ​​the support base and the human body envelope of the occupants. The higher the matching degree, the more well the pose of the support base matches the pose of the occupants; that is, the support base is in an ideal ergonomic position that provides stable support without colliding with or causing pressure on the occupants.

[0094] Optionally, the matching degree threshold mentioned above can refer to a preset critical value used to determine whether the matching degree meets the conditions for performing fixed operations. In the embodiments of this application, the matching degree threshold mentioned above is a conservative value preset based on the vehicle's interior space dimensions, the minimum safe operating radius of the support base, and the minimum comfort standard of ergonomics.

[0095] Optionally, based on the first pose information of the moved support base and the second pose information of the occupants in the vehicle, a preset spatial geometric algorithm can be used to calculate the matching degree. The first pose information is converted into a three-dimensional spatial model of the support base, and the second pose information is converted into a human body envelope model of the occupants. Then, key parameters such as the spatial distance, overlap area, or posture angle between the three-dimensional spatial model and the human body envelope model are calculated. Based on these key parameters, a matching degree reflecting the degree of adaptation between the two is generated.

[0096] Optionally, when the determined matching degree value is greater than or equal to a preset matching degree threshold, it indicates that the first position information of the support base and the second position information of the driver / passenger are within a safe and suitable spatial relationship range. At this time, a fixed command can be directly generated to drive the actuator of the support base (e.g., electromagnetic lock, mechanical latch, or hydraulic locking device) to lock the support base in the target position.

[0097] Optionally, when the determined matching degree value is lower than a preset matching degree threshold, it indicates a potential spatial interference risk or poor human-machine adaptation between the first pose information of the support base and the second pose information of the driver / passenger. In this case, instead of performing a fixed operation, an abnormal handling process is triggered. For example, in the above abnormal handling process, a warning message can be issued to the user, indicating a safety hazard in the current pose; the moved support base can then be re-adjusted to change the first pose information until the recalculated matching degree is greater than or equal to the matching degree threshold. Through this feedback adjustment mechanism, the support base is only allowed to enter a fixed state under safe conditions.

[0098] In this embodiment, a matching degree and matching degree threshold judgment mechanism is introduced to achieve human-machine collaboration and safety interlocking in the fixed operation of the support base. This mechanism transforms subjective human-machine engineering experience into objective quantitative indicators, effectively avoiding collision risks caused by deviations in the position of the support base or changes in the posture of the driver or passenger.

[0099] As an optional embodiment, step S202, the strategy selection instruction includes a support strategy selection instruction for the support base, and in response to the strategy selection instruction for the island, selecting a target control strategy from the control strategy set, including: in response to the support strategy selection instruction, selecting the support strategy as the target control strategy from the control strategy set based on the interlock information of the island, wherein the interlock information is used to indicate the interlock state between the support base and at least one component in the island other than the support base and the storage unit; and / or, after the support base performs a fixing operation after control movement, the method further includes: adjusting the current working mode of the auxiliary equipment in the vehicle other than the island to the target working mode, wherein the auxiliary equipment in the target working mode is used to improve the comfort of the passengers in the vehicle in the tea break scenario.

[0100] In this embodiment, during the selection of a target control strategy from the control strategy set, in response to the support control strategy selection command, the support strategy can be selected as the target control strategy from the control strategy set based on the interlock information of the island platform. After the support base performs a fixing operation following the control movement, the current operating mode of the auxiliary equipment in the vehicle, excluding the island platform, can be adjusted to the target operating mode. The interlock information can be used to indicate the interlock protection state or safety constraint relationship between at least one component in the island platform (excluding the support base and storage unit) and the support base. In this embodiment, the interlock information can be a safety interlock state, which may include, but is not limited to: the current physical position state of each component (e.g., whether it is in a retracted position), movement state (e.g., whether it is stationary or locked), and logical enable state (e.g., whether movement or unfolding is permitted). The interlock information can be used to ensure that other components in the island platform do not interfere or malfunction when the support base performs unfolding or fixing operations, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the overall mechanism operation.

[0101] Optionally, the aforementioned auxiliary equipment may refer to electronic or electromechanical devices installed inside the vehicle, excluding the island console, for adjusting the driving and riding environment or providing comfort services. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned auxiliary equipment may include, but is not limited to: ambient lighting, seats, air conditioning vents, audio systems, sunshades, etc. The aforementioned auxiliary equipment changes its own operating mode (e.g., operating status or output parameters) by receiving control commands to adapt to specific in-vehicle scenario needs.

[0102] Optionally, the aforementioned current operating mode may refer to the predetermined operating state or functional configuration of the auxiliary equipment in the vehicle, excluding the island console, before receiving the strategy selection instruction. In this embodiment, the aforementioned current operating mode may refer to the parameter combination of the auxiliary equipment in the default state, the previous scenario state, or the manually set state. For example, the ambient light is in the off state, the seat is in the driving position, and the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode. The aforementioned target operating mode may refer to the operating state or functional configuration that the auxiliary equipment in the vehicle, excluding the island console, adjusts to after receiving the strategy selection instruction, aiming to optimize the comfort of the driver and passengers in a specific scenario (e.g., a tea break scenario). In this embodiment, if the specific scenario is a tea break scenario, the aforementioned target operating mode may refer to the parameter combination preset according to the needs of the tea break scenario. For example, the ambient light is adjusted to a warm yellow soft light, the seat is adjusted to a zero-gravity reclining position, the air conditioner is switched to silent air supply mode, and the audio system plays light music.

[0103] Optionally, in response to a support strategy selection instruction in a strategy selection command for the island, interlock information of the island is acquired. The acquired interlock information is compared with the preconditions upon which each strategy in the control strategy set depends. If the interlock information indicates that a relevant component (e.g., the support base and at least one component) is in a safe interlock state and the execution conditions of a specific strategy are met, then the corresponding support strategy is selected from the control strategy set as the target control strategy. This process ensures that the movement or fixing of the support base is performed only under the premise of no interference with the mechanical structure and no risk, achieving precise matching between mechanical-level safe interlocks and strategy execution.

[0104] Optionally, after the support base is fixed following control of its movement, the current scenario is identified as a tea break scenario, and the current operating modes of auxiliary devices in the vehicle (excluding the island counter, such as ambient lighting, seats, and air conditioning) are obtained. Based on the preset parameter combinations for the tea break scenario, target operating mode instructions are generated for each auxiliary device. For example, the ambient lighting is adjusted to a warm tone, the seats are adjusted to a zero-gravity reclining position, and the air conditioning's airflow mode is adjusted to silent airflow. Control instructions to switch to the target operating mode are sent to each auxiliary device, switching each auxiliary device from its current operating mode to the target operating mode. Through the above-mentioned coordinated adjustments, the vehicle's interior environment is reconfigured to a state suitable for rest and tea tasting in the tea break scenario.

[0105] In this embodiment, the method described above achieves deep synergy between the island platform's functions and the vehicle environment by selecting a support strategy based on interlocking information and adjusting the auxiliary equipment's operating mode in a coordinated manner. The strategy selection mechanism based on interlocking information avoids safety hazards caused by mechanical component interference from the outset, ensuring the reliability and safety of the support base operation. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of the auxiliary equipment's modes breaks through the limitations of a single functional module, extending the island platform's physical support function to the creation of the overall cabin environment. Through the coordinated optimization of multiple senses such as vision, touch, and hearing, it significantly enhances the comfort and immersion of passengers in a tea break setting.

[0106] As an optional embodiment, in response to a support strategy selection command, based on the interlocking information of the island, a support strategy is selected as the target control strategy from the control strategy set, including: in response to the support strategy selection command, and where the interlocking information indicates that the support base and at least one component are in a state of impending interlocking, selecting the support strategy as the target control strategy from the control strategy set; in response to the support strategy selection command, and where the interlocking information indicates that the support base and at least one component are in a state of interlocking, controlling the support base and at least one component to perform a reset operation; and in response to the reset support base and at least one component being in a state of impending interlocking, selecting the support strategy as the target control strategy from the control strategy set.

[0107] In this embodiment, during the process of selecting a support strategy as the target control strategy from the control strategy set, in response to a support strategy selection command and if interlock information indicates that the support base and at least one component are in a state of impending interlock, then the support strategy can be selected as the target control strategy from the control strategy set. In response to a support strategy selection command and if interlock information indicates that the support base and at least one component are in a state of interlock, then the support base and at least one component can be controlled to perform a reset operation. If the reset support base and at least one component are in a state of impending interlock, then the support strategy can be selected as the target control strategy from the control strategy set.

[0108] The "pending interlock state" can refer to a preparatory safety state where at least one component of the island platform, excluding the support base and storage unit, is currently in a position that allows the execution of support strategy actions and does not create mechanical interference or physical obstruction. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned "pending interlock state" can indicate that the relevant component has moved to a preset avoidance position or storage position, there are no obstacles on the movement path of the support base, and the interlock mechanism is in a preparatory condition for unlocking or release.

[0109] Optionally, the interlocking state can refer to a locked, safe state in which the support base and at least one component of the island (excluding the support base and storage unit) are currently mutually constrained, posing a risk of mechanical interference or physical obstruction. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned interlocking state may indicate that the relevant component is in a non-avoidance position (e.g., unfolded into a dining table mode or tea table mode), and the physical structure of the aforementioned component occupies a predetermined movement space or fixed area of ​​the support base. Directly executing the support strategy may result in mechanical collision, component damage, or functional failure.

[0110] Optionally, the aforementioned reset operation may refer to a mechanical adjustment process performed before executing the support strategy, in order to release the interlock state, moving at least one component of the support base and island platform (excluding the support base and storage unit) to the interlocking state. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned reset operation may include controlling the relevant components (e.g., flipping the table, raising the tea table, etc.) to move in the opposite direction or return to their original positions. For example, folding the unfolded table for storage, lowering the raised tea table to its original position, and possibly involving fine-tuning the support base until all relevant components reach the preset safe position.

[0111] Optionally, upon responding to a support strategy selection command, the current interlock information is read. If this information indicates that there is no mechanical interference between the support base and at least one component of the island platform other than the support base and storage unit, and the relevant component is already in a clearance position or safe position that allows the support base to move (i.e., in a state awaiting interlocking), then the current conditions are deemed to meet the requirements for executing the support strategy. In this case, the corresponding support strategy is directly matched and selected from the preset control strategy set as the target control strategy, preparing to execute subsequent support base movement or fixing operations without additional mechanical adjustments, thus improving operational efficiency.

[0112] Optionally, if the interlock information indicates that there is physical interference or a mutually restrictive locked position between the support base and at least one component, i.e., in an interlocked state, directly executing the support strategy may cause mechanical damage. In this case, the support base and at least one component are controlled to perform a reset operation. This reset operation includes driving the relevant components to move in the opposite direction. For example, folding the unfolded flip tabletop into the island side wall, or lowering the raised lifting tea table to the storage position, while adjusting the support base to its initial position to eliminate spatial interference. The component status is continuously monitored until it is confirmed that the reset support base and at least one component have moved to an interlock-free state. Once it is confirmed that the state meets the interlock-free conditions, the support strategy is selected as the target control strategy from the control strategy set, thereby restoring the availability of the support function while ensuring absolute safety.

[0113] In this embodiment, the method significantly improves the safety and reliability of the island support mechanism by distinguishing between the interlocking state and the interlocking state and implementing differentiated control processes. Directly selecting a strategy in the interlocking state ensures efficient operation and immediate response; while forcibly executing a reset operation in the interlocking state eliminates equipment malfunctions or safety hazards caused by mechanical interference at their source.

[0114] As an optional embodiment, step S204, the movement operation includes a lifting operation and a rotation operation. In response to the target control strategy being a support strategy, the support base of the island platform is controlled to perform a movement operation according to the support strategy, including: in response to the target control strategy being a support strategy, the support base is controlled to perform a lifting operation according to the support strategy; in response to the distance between the lifted support base and the bottom of the island platform reaching a distance threshold, the lifted support base is controlled to perform a rotation operation.

[0115] In this embodiment, during the movement of the support base of the island platform according to the support strategy, if the target control strategy is a support strategy, the support base can be raised according to the support strategy. If the distance between the raised support base and the bottom of the island platform reaches a distance threshold, the raised support base can be rotated. The raising operation can refer to the mechanical action of driving the support base to move vertically upwards to change the relative position between the support base and the bottom of the island platform. In this embodiment, the raising operation can manifest as the support base transitioning from a retracted or low-position state to a high-position state, aiming to provide the necessary vertical space margin for subsequent rotation, deployment, or stable support, ensuring that the support base does not contact or interfere with the island platform body or other components during rotation.

[0116] Optionally, the aforementioned rotation operation can refer to a mechanical action that drives the support base to deflect at an angle around its central axis or a specific axis of rotation after the support base has been raised. In the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned rotation operation can enable the support base to be rotated with high precision according to preset angle parameters, such as rotating to unfold the support legs, lock the support structure, or adjust the orientation of the contact surface of the support base.

[0117] Optionally, the aforementioned distance threshold may refer to a preset vertical height threshold used to determine whether the lifting operation meets the conditions for performing the rotation operation. In this embodiment, the aforementioned distance threshold may refer to the minimum safe vertical distance between the bottom of the raised support base and the bottom of the island platform.

[0118] Optionally, when the target control strategy is a support strategy, the support base is driven to perform a lifting operation according to the parameters specified in the support strategy. Specifically, this operation involves the support base moving vertically upwards, moving away from its initial storage position. During the lifting process, the vertical distance between the support base and the bottom of the island gradually increases. The purpose of this step is to raise the support base to a safe vertical height, reserving necessary space for subsequent rotational movements and preventing collisions between rotating components and the island body.

[0119] Optionally, after the support base completes the lifting operation, the distance between the lifted support base and the bottom of the island platform is monitored in real time. When the monitored distance is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold, it indicates that the support base is at a safe vertical height and there is no longer a risk of rotational interference. At this time, the lifted support base is controlled to perform a rotation operation. This rotation operation drives the support base to deflect around its own rotation axis, causing the support base to change from a storage posture to a working posture.

[0120] Optionally, the process of controlling the raised support base to perform a rotation operation continues until the support base rotates to the target angle or target position specified in the support strategy. When the current rotation angle of the support base is detected to have reached the target angle, or when the motion sensor feedback of the support base reaches the predetermined position, the rotation operation stops. At this time, the support base completes the attitude transformation from the storage state to the support working state, ready for subsequent fixing operations.

[0121] In this embodiment, the method employs a step-by-step control strategy of lifting first and then rotating, effectively avoiding potential mechanical interference problems during the movement of the support base. The lifting operation ensures a safe clearance in the vertical direction, eliminating the risk of collision during rotation; the introduction of a distance threshold provides an objective basis for judgment, making the triggering conditions for the rotation operation more precise and reliable; and stopping at a specified angle ensures the accuracy of the support base's positioning.

[0122] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be illustrated below with reference to preferred embodiments.

[0123] Currently, there are diverse needs for vehicle cabin space. However, in related technologies, storage devices such as islands in the cabin space can often only be controlled manually, resulting in poor control of the islands in vehicles.

[0124] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a control method for a vehicle island console. If a strategy selection command for the island console is detected, the target control strategy indicated by the command can be selected from the island console's control strategy set. If the target control strategy is a support strategy, the island console's support base can be moved according to the support strategy. The moved support base can then be fixed. If the support base is successfully fixed, at least one storage unit on the island console can be switched from a closed state to an open state. Using the fixed support base and the open storage unit, the island console can meet the vehicle's functional requirements in a tea break scenario. In other words, in this application embodiment, by responding to the strategy selection command and intelligently matching the target control strategy, the island console control is scenario-based and automated. For tea break needs, the support strategy is prioritized to control the movement and fixation of the support base, ensuring the stability of the support base's physical state. The storage unit is then opened in conjunction with this. The aforementioned linkage mechanism based on physical state locking effectively avoids the fragmentation of the experience for drivers and passengers in the tea break scenario, thereby improving the convenience of the tea break scenario and the immersion of drivers and passengers in the tea break scenario. This solves the technical problem of poor control effect of the vehicle island console and achieves the technical effect of improving the control effect of the vehicle island console.

[0125] The embodiments of this application will be further described below.

[0126] In this embodiment, the usage scenario of the island platform can be identified by executing the scene recognition method of the island platform in the vehicle. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a scene recognition method for a vehicle island console according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0127] Step S301: Determine whether the vehicle's soft switch can be woken up with one key.

[0128] If it is determined that the vehicle's soft switch has not been activated by one key, then step S302 is executed to keep the vehicle's system in standby or locked state.

[0129] If it is determined that the vehicle's soft switch has been activated with one key, then step S303 is executed to activate the vehicle's full signal monitoring function according to the monitoring strategy.

[0130] After activating the vehicle's full signal monitoring function according to the monitoring strategy, step S304 is executed to monitor voice control commands, vehicle driving status / electrical status / cabin status, and island position / motor status / limit status.

[0131] After listening to voice control commands, the vehicle's driving status, power status, cabin status, island position, motor status, and limit status, step S305 is executed to determine whether the vehicle is in a safe interception state.

[0132] If the vehicle is in a safety interception state, then step S306 is executed to prohibit the island station affected by the safety interception state from performing any actions and to output a warning message.

[0133] If the vehicle is not in a safe interception state, then proceed to step S307 to determine whether the vehicle is in driving mode.

[0134] If it is determined that the vehicle is in driving mode, then step S308 is executed, controlling the island to perform a forced reset storage operation, a return to the base operation, and a full-process locking operation.

[0135] If it is determined that the vehicle is not in driving mode, then step S309 is executed to determine whether the vehicle is in low speed mode.

[0136] If it is determined that the vehicle is in low-speed mode, then step S310 is executed, allowing the island to perform fine-tuning and storage operations.

[0137] If it is determined that the vehicle is not in low speed mode, then step S311 is executed to determine whether the vehicle is in parking mode.

[0138] If it is determined that the vehicle is not in parking mode, then return to step S305.

[0139] If it is determined that the vehicle is in parking mode, then step S312 is executed to control the island to perform full-function open adjustment operation.

[0140] After the control island performs the full-function open adjustment operation, step S313 is executed to determine whether the vehicle's hardware protection verification is normal.

[0141] If the vehicle's hardware protection verification is found to be abnormal, step S314 is executed to control the island to perform an emergency stop operation and a fault reporting operation.

[0142] If the vehicle's hardware protection verification is found to be normal, then step S315 is executed to control the island to perform a movement action.

[0143] After the island platform is controlled to perform a movement action, step S316 is executed to provide feedback on the movement process of the island platform through the human-machine interface.

[0144] After receiving feedback on the island's movement process through the human-computer interaction interface, step S317 is executed to determine whether the timeout period has elapsed and the island's movement operation has not been performed.

[0145] If a timeout is detected and a movement operation is performed on the island, step S318 is executed to control the island to enter a stationary state and continue waiting to perform the next movement operation.

[0146] If it is determined that the island has not been moved within the time limit, then step S319 is executed to control the island to enter the automatic sleep lock state and control the island to return to the low power consumption mode.

[0147] In this embodiment, by implementing a method for moving the island platform in the vehicle, the island platform can be moved to multiple positions within the cabin via electric casters. For example, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for moving a vehicle island platform according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0148] Step S401: Collect vehicle speed signal and parking brake signal.

[0149] After collecting the vehicle speed signal and parking brake signal, step S402 is executed to determine whether the vehicle is moving.

[0150] If the vehicle is determined to be moving, steps S403, S404, S405, S406, S407, and S408 are executed to issue a forced return command to the island platform. The electric universal wheels are driven to rotate, and the alignment is detected in real time using position sensors. The island platform is controlled to return to the central base of the instrument panel, and the universal wheels are controlled to brake, the mechanical latches and the electronic control are locked. The displacement deviation is monitored in real time and dynamic locking is performed.

[0151] In this embodiment, the bottom of the island console is equipped with electric casters and a self-locking mechanism. These electric casters and the self-locking mechanism can be used to precisely position and lock the island console between the driver's area, the lower part of the dashboard, and the rear functional area, depending on the scene mode, when the vehicle is stationary.

[0152] If it is determined that the vehicle is not moving, steps S409 and S410 are executed to unlock the island's motion control permissions and receive instructions regarding the cockpit scene mode.

[0153] After receiving the instruction regarding the cockpit scene mode, step S411 is executed to determine whether the scene point is on the base.

[0154] If the exit point is determined to be located on the base, steps S412, S413, S414, S415, S416, and S417 are executed to control the electric omnidirectional casters to perform omnidirectional walking and adjustment operations, use position sensors to perform high-precision position identification and accurate alignment of the island platform, stop the island platform from outputting walking power, control the omnidirectional casters to self-lock, the support feet to lock and the point to fix, send the island platform's arrival signal to the vehicle unit and lock the island platform's movement control authority, and wait for the next round of scene / state instructions.
