Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to a window lift switch, control method, vehicle, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] The driver's side window regulator is an essential physical button in a vehicle. Currently, most driver's side window regulators use five independent buttons: four for each window (one for the driver, one for the passenger, one for the left rear, and one for the right rear) and one for locking / unlocking a door. Each button operates on a single logic, controlling only one specific function. The driver must move their finger between multiple buttons to control different windows and door locks, resulting in a large number of components, a complex structure, and a relatively large overall size. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology where the driver's side window switch uses a multi-button split structure, resulting in a large number of parts and a large switch assembly size. At the same time, the driver needs to switch between multiple scattered operation buttons, which leads to driver distraction, low operation efficiency, and safety hazards. The invention provides a window switch, control method, vehicle, storage medium, and electronic device.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention provides a glass lifting switch, comprising: The control area is divided into four quadrants corresponding to the operation of the vehicle's windows by cross-shaped dividing lines. A touch detection unit is used to detect the trigger signal of the operation quadrant; The toggle detection unit is used to detect the reciprocating toggle operation of the control area along the Y-axis and X-axis, and generate corresponding first toggle signal and second toggle signal; The controller is configured to control the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the operating quadrant according to a trigger signal of one of the operating quadrants and the first toggle signal, and to control the locking or unlocking of the door according to the second toggle signal.

[0005] Furthermore, the controller is also used for: If the duration of the second toggle signal exceeds a preset time threshold, the raising and lowering of multiple windows will be controlled synchronously.

[0006] Furthermore, the four operating quadrants include a first operating quadrant corresponding to the passenger side window, a second operating quadrant corresponding to the driver's side window, a third operating quadrant corresponding to the left rear window, and a fourth operating quadrant corresponding to the right rear window.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes: A housing, connected to the bottom of the control area, is used to house the touch detection unit, the toggle detection unit, and the controller; A connector, located on the housing, is used for electrical connection with the vehicle's electrical system.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector includes multiple pins for connecting to the vehicle power supply, the window regulator controllers of each door, and the door locking actuator controller.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention also provides a glass lifting switch control method as described above, comprising: Receive a trigger signal in one of the operating quadrants and a first toggle signal for a reciprocating toggle operation along the Y-axis, or a second toggle signal for a reciprocating toggle operation along the X-axis; Based on the trigger signal and the first toggle signal, control the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the trigger signal; The second toggle signal controls the locking or unlocking of the vehicle doors.

[0010] Furthermore, the step of controlling the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the trigger signal based on the trigger signal and the first toggle signal includes: If the first actuation signal is an actuation signal along the first direction of the Y-axis, the window glass is controlled to rise; If the first toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the Y-axis, the window glass is controlled to descend.

[0011] Furthermore, controlling the door to lock or unlock according to the second toggle signal includes: If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the first direction of the X-axis, the door is locked. If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the X-axis, the door is unlocked.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes: If the duration of the first toggle signal exceeds a preset time threshold, the raising and lowering of multiple windows is controlled synchronously.

[0013] The present invention also provides a vehicle, characterized in that it includes the window lift switch as described above.

[0014] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium that stores computer instructions, which, when executed by a computer, are used to perform all steps of the glass lift switch control method described above.

[0015] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising: At least one processor; and, A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein, The memory stores instructions that can be executed by the at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the glass lift switch control method as described above.

[0016] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: By dividing the surface of the control area into four quadrants corresponding to the vehicle's windows using crosshairs, the target door can be selected. Furthermore, through axial division along the Y and X axes, window operation is controlled by reciprocating along the Y-axis, and door lock operation is controlled by reciprocating along the X-axis. This integrates the functions of a traditional single button into one control area, achieving integrated control of four doors' window operation and door locks with a single switch. This effectively reduces the number of operating components, significantly lowers the size of the switch assembly and component costs, while also naturally distinguishing window operation and door lock control in terms of physical operation direction, avoiding operational confusion.

[0018] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, various structural and implementation methods can be interchanged by those skilled in the art without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of the invention.

[0020] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a glass lifting switch, comprising: The top of the control area 10 is divided into four quadrants corresponding to the operation of the vehicle's windows by a cross dividing line 11. A touch detection unit is used to detect the trigger signal of the operation quadrant; The toggle detection unit is used to detect the reciprocating toggle operation of the control area 10 along the Y-axis and X-axis, and generate corresponding first toggle signal and second toggle signal. The controller is configured to control the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the operating quadrant according to a trigger signal of one of the operating quadrants and the first toggle signal, and to control the locking or unlocking of the door according to the second toggle signal.

[0022] Specifically, the glass lifting switch provided by the present invention mainly includes a control area 10, a touch detection unit, a toggle detection unit, and a controller.

[0023] The bottom of the control area 10 can be fixed to the upper end of the housing 20, and the top of the control area 10 is divided into four operating quadrants 12-15 by a cross dividing line 11. The lower end of the housing 20 is snapped into the vehicle door panel interior trim, such as by a clip to fix it to the vehicle door panel.

[0024] In some embodiments, the control area 10 may be made of insulating engineering plastic with a surface treated with an anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the fingers and the control area and prevent slippage during operation. The anti-slip texture may be a micro-convex texture or radial grooves with a depth of 0.1mm-0.5mm.

[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the first operating quadrant 12 corresponds to the passenger side window, the second operating quadrant 13 corresponds to the driver's side window, the third operating quadrant 14 corresponds to the left rear window, and the fourth operating quadrant 15 corresponds to the right rear window.

[0026] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the operating quadrants can be adjusted according to the vehicle's left and right rudder configuration.

[0027] In some embodiments, quadrant markings are provided on the surface of each operating quadrant to assist the driver in distinguishing the correspondence between the quadrants.

[0028] In some embodiments, the housing 20 may be made of polycarbonate (PC)-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) alloy plastic, which has sufficient mechanical strength and weather resistance.

[0029] In some embodiments, the lower end of the housing 20 is provided with a connector 30, which is electrically connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

[0030] In some embodiments, connector 30 includes a plurality of pins, including a power pin, a window regulator control pin, and a door lock control pin. The power pin is used to electrically connect to the vehicle power supply, the window regulator control pin is used to electrically connect to the window regulator motor controller of each door, and the door lock control pin is used to electrically connect to the door lock actuator controller.

[0031] The touch detection unit is located inside the housing 20. The input terminal of the touch detection unit is electrically connected to the sensing terminal of each operation quadrant in the control area 10 through a flexible circuit. The output terminal of the touch detection unit is electrically connected to the input / output (I / O) terminal of the controller. The touch detection unit is used to detect the trigger signal triggered by the operator through the operation quadrant, thereby determining the target door, such as the left front door, right front door, left rear door, right rear door, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the touch detection unit is a capacitive touch sensor. Its sensing end is attached to the inner surface of each operating quadrant, and its output end is electrically connected to the I / O terminal of the controller. When a human finger lightly touches the surface of an operating quadrant, the capacitance or resistance value changes, and the touch detection unit outputs a high-level trigger signal to the controller.

[0033] In some embodiments, the touch detection unit is a resistive pressure sensor that identifies the trigger operation by detecting the pressure applied to each operating quadrant.

[0034] In some embodiments, the touch detection unit is configured with different trigger sensitivities to adapt to the driver's operating habits based on the positional difference of the operating quadrant on the side of the steering wheel or the side away from the steering wheel.

[0035] In some embodiments, the touch detection unit has multiple sensing points in the same operating quadrant, and the operation intention is determined by the triggering order of the sensing points to reduce false triggering.

[0036] The toggle detection unit is located inside the housing 20. Its input terminal is electrically connected to the sensing terminals of each operating quadrant within the control area 10 via a flexible circuit. Its output terminal is electrically connected to the I / O terminal of the controller. The toggle detection unit is used to detect the operator's movement along the Y-axis (e.g., ...) within the control area 10. Figure 3 (as shown by the arrow) and the X-axis (as shown by the arrow) Figure 4 The reciprocating toggle operation (indicated by the arrow) generates a corresponding first toggle signal and a second toggle signal. The first toggle signal is used to control the raising and lowering of the window, and the second toggle signal is used to control the locking and unlocking of the door.

[0037] In some embodiments, the actuation detection unit includes a Y-axis actuation detection unit arranged along the Y-axis and an X-axis actuation detection unit arranged along the X-axis. The Y-axis and X-axis actuation detection units are orthogonally arranged, and their movable arms are respectively connected to the bottom center of the control area 10. The Y-axis actuation detection unit is used to detect the operator's reciprocating actuation operation along the Y-axis in the control area 10 and generate a corresponding first actuation signal. The X-axis actuation detection unit is used to detect the operator's reciprocating actuation operation along the X-axis in the control area 10 and generate a corresponding second actuation signal.

[0038] In some embodiments, the Y-axis toggle detection unit and the X-axis toggle detection unit are toggle switches, with the movable arm connected to the bottom center of the control area 10. The structure of the Y-axis toggle detection unit is the same as that of the X-axis toggle detection unit, distinguishing between the two toggle directions along the Y-axis and X-axis by the closed state of the first and second contacts. When the control area 10 is toggled along the Y-axis, the movable arm deflects, causing the first or second contact within the toggle switch to close. The toggle detection unit outputs a corresponding first toggle signal to the controller, which processes and performs logical judgments on the input first toggle signal.

[0039] In some embodiments, the Y-axis toggle detection unit and the X-axis toggle detection unit are angle sensors or displacement sensors, which determine the toggle direction and amplitude by detecting the deflection angle or displacement of the control area 10 along the Y-axis and X-axis.

[0040] In some embodiments, the speed at which the glass is raised or lowered is directly proportional to the amplitude of the tossing motion; that is, the greater the amplitude of the tossing motion, the faster the glass is raised or lowered.

[0041] The controller is housed inside the housing 20. Its output is electrically connected to the vehicle's electrical system, such as the vehicle power supply, the window regulator motor controller, and the door locking actuator controller. The controller is used to control the corresponding window raising / lowering and the door locking / unlocking based on trigger signals, a first actuation signal, and a second actuation signal.

[0042] In some embodiments, the controller includes four window switch drive units and one door lock drive unit. Each switch drive unit is a relay, and its output is connected to the window regulator motor of the corresponding door via connector 30.

[0043] In some embodiments, the controller is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply, the window regulator motor controller, and the door locking actuator controller via multiple pins, respectively, to facilitate control of window raising and lowering and / or door locking or unlocking.

[0044] When the driver lightly presses a certain operating quadrant along the Y-axis direction (e.g., ... Figure 3 (As indicated by the arrow) When the control area 10 is moved, the controller first determines the target door corresponding to that quadrant based on the trigger signal output by the corresponding touch detection unit, and then drives the window regulator corresponding to the target door to move according to the moving direction. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the controller moves forward along the Y-axis (i.e. away from the driver), it drives the window regulator of the target door to rise; when it moves backward along the Y-axis (i.e. closer to the driver), it drives the window regulator of the target door to fall.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, when the driver moves the control area 10 to the right along the X-axis, the controller identifies the direction of movement as the first direction based on the signal output by the movement detection unit, and drives the door locking actuator to lock all doors. When the driver moves the control area to the left along the X-axis, the controller identifies the direction as the second direction, and drives the door locking actuator to unlock all doors. The controller does not rely on the validity of the quadrant selection signal when controlling door locking or unlocking; that is, regardless of whether a target door has been selected, the movement along the X-axis can independently trigger the door lock control signal, ensuring the time-limited nature of door locking or unlocking control and facilitating rapid execution in vehicle parking or emergency situations.

[0046] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific switch of the control area 10. Any shape that can be divided into four operating quadrants by the cross-shaped dividing lines 11 is applicable to the present invention, such as a hemispherical, rectangular plate, disc, polygonal, or elliptical shape. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the control area 10 is hemispherical, and the cross-shaped dividing lines 11 divide its top surface into four fan-shaped operating quadrants 12-15. In other embodiments, the control area 10 is rectangular plate, and the cross-shaped dividing lines 11 divide its surface into four rectangular operating quadrants. When the control area 10 is rectangular plate, the touch detection units are respectively attached to the inner surfaces of each rectangular operating quadrant. The movable arms of the Y-axis toggle detection unit and the X-axis toggle detection unit are also connected to the bottom of the control area 10. The same control logic is achieved by detecting the reciprocating movement of the rectangular plate along the Y-axis and X-axis, and the specific control process is consistent with the hemispherical embodiment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the top of the control area is divided into four quadrants corresponding to the vehicle's windows using a crosshair, allowing for the selection of the target door. Furthermore, the Y-axis and X-axis are used for axial division; the window operation is controlled by reciprocating along the Y-axis, and the door lock operation is controlled by reciprocating along the X-axis. This integrates the functions of a traditional single button into one control area, achieving integrated control of four doors' window operation and door locks with a single switch. This effectively reduces the number of operating components, significantly lowers the size of the switch assembly and component costs, and naturally distinguishes window operation and door lock control in terms of physical operation direction, avoiding operational confusion.

[0048] In one embodiment, the controller is further configured to: If the duration of the second toggle signal exceeds a preset time threshold, the raising and lowering of multiple windows will be controlled synchronously.

[0049] Specifically, when the Y-axis toggle detection unit detects continuous toggle along the Y-axis (i.e., maintaining the toggle position without releasing it), the controller's built-in timing function counts the duration of the toggle operation. When the duration reaches a preset time threshold, the controller recognizes it as a "four-door synchronous lifting" command. No longer constrained by the quadrant selection signal, it simultaneously sends control commands to all four window regulator motor controllers, causing all door windows to operate synchronously in the same direction (e.g., simultaneously rising or simultaneously falling). For example, the preset time threshold is 2 seconds.

[0050] In this embodiment, "single-window control" and "four-window control" are achieved along the Y-axis by using the time dimension of operation duration. No additional operating components or steps are required, resulting in a simple structure and further reducing costs.

[0051] In one embodiment, the four operating quadrants include a first operating quadrant corresponding to the passenger side window, a second operating quadrant corresponding to the driver's side window, a third operating quadrant corresponding to the left rear window, and a fourth operating quadrant corresponding to the right rear window.

[0052] In one embodiment, it further includes: The housing 20 is connected to the bottom of the control area 10 and is used to house the touch detection unit, the toggle detection unit, and the controller; A connector 30 is disposed on the housing 20 and is used for electrical connection with the vehicle's electrical system.

[0053] In one embodiment, the connector 30 includes a plurality of pins for connecting to the vehicle power supply, the window regulator controllers of each door, and the door locking actuator controller.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a glass lift switch control method, comprising: Step S501: Receive a trigger signal for one of the operation quadrants and a first toggle signal for a reciprocating toggle operation along the Y-axis, or a second toggle signal for a reciprocating toggle operation along the X-axis. Step S502: Control the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the trigger signal according to the trigger signal and the first toggle signal; Step S503: Control the door to lock or unlock according to the second toggle signal.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control area 10 is an approximately hemispherical control component, the top of which is divided into four operating quadrants 12-15 by a cross-shaped dividing line 11. The correspondence between each operating quadrant and each door of the vehicle is as described in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0056] In step S501, when the driver operates through the control area 10, the controller executes step S501 to receive a trigger signal of one of the operation quadrants and a first chuck signal for a reciprocating chuck operation along the Y-axis, or a second chuck signal for a reciprocating chuck operation along the X-axis.

[0057] In step S502, when the driver lightly presses a certain operation quadrant and then moves the control area 10 along the Y-axis, the controller first determines the target door corresponding to that quadrant based on the trigger signal output by the corresponding touch detection unit, and then drives the window regulator corresponding to the target door to operate according to the direction of movement. Figure 3As shown, when the controller moves forward along the Y-axis (i.e. away from the driver), it drives the window regulator of the target door to rise; when it moves backward along the Y-axis (i.e. closer to the driver), it drives the window regulator of the target door to fall.

[0058] In one embodiment, when the controller executes step S502, it first verifies whether the quadrant selection signal is still valid. If the preset time window has not expired since the last detection of the quadrant trigger signal, the quadrant selection is maintained; if the time window has expired, the current toggle signal is ignored, and the window raising / lowering operation is not performed, preventing the driver from accidentally triggering the window raising / lowering when touching the control area, thus improving operational safety. For example, the preset time window is 5 seconds.

[0059] In step S503, as Figure 4 As shown, when the driver moves the control area 10 to the right along the X-axis, the controller identifies the direction of movement as the first direction based on the signal output by the movement detection unit, and drives the door locking actuator to lock all doors. When moving the control area to the left along the X-axis, the controller identifies the direction as the second direction, and drives the door locking actuator to unlock all doors. The controller does not rely on the validity of the quadrant selection signal when controlling door locking or unlocking. That is, regardless of whether a target door has been selected, the movement along the X-axis can independently trigger the door lock control signal, ensuring the time-limited nature of door locking or unlocking control. This independent operation without quadrant selection means that the driver can directly move the control area along the X-axis in any intermediate state of the four doors' window operation, facilitating quick execution when the vehicle is parked or in an emergency.

[0060] In this embodiment, the glass lifting and lowering is controlled by reciprocating the Y-axis, and the door lock operation is controlled by reciprocating the X-axis. The function of a traditional independent button is integrated into one control area, realizing integrated control of the lifting and lowering of four doors and the door lock by a single switch. This effectively reduces the number of operating parts, significantly reduces the size of the switch assembly and the cost of components, and at the same time makes the glass lifting control and door lock control naturally distinguishable in the physical operation direction, avoiding operational confusion.

[0061] In one embodiment, controlling the raising and lowering of the window corresponding to the trigger signal based on the trigger signal and the first toggle signal includes: If the first actuation signal is an actuation signal along the first direction of the Y-axis, the window glass is controlled to rise; If the first toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the Y-axis, the window glass is controlled to descend.

[0062] Specifically, when the driver presses a certain operation quadrant and moves the control area 10 along the first direction of the Y-axis (such as away from the driver), the controller drives the window regulator corresponding to the target door to rise; when the driver presses a certain operation quadrant and moves the control area 10 along the second direction of the Y-axis (such as closer to the driver), the controller drives the window regulator corresponding to the target door to fall.

[0063] In this embodiment, the window can be raised or lowered along the first or second direction of the Y-axis without the need for additional operating parts or steps, resulting in a simple structure and further reducing costs.

[0064] In one embodiment, controlling the door to lock or unlock according to the second toggle signal includes: If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the first direction of the X-axis, the door is locked. If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the X-axis, the door is unlocked.

[0065] Specifically, when the driver moves the control area 10 along the first direction of the X-axis (e.g., to the right), all doors are locked; when the driver moves the control area 10 along the second direction of the X-axis (e.g., to the left), all doors are unlocked. The controller does not rely on the validity of the quadrant selection signal when controlling door locking or unlocking. That is, regardless of whether a target door has been selected, moving the control area along the X-axis can independently trigger the door lock control signal, ensuring the time-limited nature of door locking or unlocking control and facilitating rapid execution in vehicle parking or emergency situations.

[0066] In this embodiment, the door is locked or unlocked by moving along the first or second direction of the X-axis without the need for additional operating components or steps, resulting in a simple structure and further reducing costs.

[0067] In one embodiment, it further includes: If the duration of the first toggle signal exceeds a preset time threshold, the raising and lowering of multiple windows is controlled synchronously.

[0068] Specifically, if continuous flicking along the Y-axis (i.e., maintaining the flicking state without releasing) is detected, the controller's built-in timing function counts the duration of the flicking operation. When the duration reaches a preset time threshold, the controller recognizes it as a "four-door synchronous lifting" command. No longer constrained by the quadrant selection signal, it simultaneously sends control commands to all four window regulator motor controllers, causing all door windows to operate synchronously in the same direction (e.g., simultaneously rising or simultaneously falling). For example, the preset time threshold is 2 seconds.

[0069] In this embodiment, "single-window control" and "four-window control" are achieved along the Y-axis by using the time dimension of operation duration. No additional operating components or steps are required, resulting in a simple structure and further reducing costs.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a glass lift switch control method, comprising: Step S601: Receive the trigger signal of one of the operation quadrants and the first toggle signal of the reciprocating toggle operation along the Y-axis; Step S602: If the first toggle signal is a toggle signal along the first direction of the Y-axis, control the window glass to rise; Step S603: If the first toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the Y-axis, control the window glass to lower; Step S604: If the duration of the first toggle signal does not exceed the preset time threshold, control the raising and lowering of multiple windows simultaneously; Step S605: Receive the second chuck signal for the reciprocating chuck operation along the X-axis; Step S606: If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the first direction of the X-axis, control the door to lock; Step S607: If the second toggle signal is a toggle signal along the second direction of the X-axis, control the door to unlock.

[0071] It should be understood that the sequence numbers of each step in steps S601, S604 and S605 do not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0072] In this embodiment, through the coordinated processing of Y-axis reciprocating toggle, X-axis reciprocating toggle, and long-duration toggle, quadrant space division (corresponding to target door selection), dual-axis multiplexing (Y-axis controls window raising and lowering, X-axis controls door locking or unlocking), and duration switching (short-duration toggle for single-window control, long-duration toggle for simultaneous control of all four windows) are achieved on a single operating component. The quadrant space division of the operating area, combined with dual-axis multiplexing, allows the driver to complete various differentiated controls without moving their hands, relying solely on tactile positioning and toggle direction and operation duration with their fingers. This avoids the need to move and switch between different buttons, reduces the need for eye shift during operation, and improves safety.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a window lift switch, comprising: Step S701: When multiple operation quadrants are detected to be triggered simultaneously, the effective target quadrant is determined according to the preset priority rules; Specifically, when the touch detection unit detects two or more trigger operations simultaneously, the controller performs a priority determination. The priority rule includes, within a preset time window, taking the quadrant of the operation that is triggered first as the valid target, ignoring other quadrants that are triggered simultaneously later. For example, the preset time window is 100 milliseconds.

[0074] In some embodiments, the priority rule is to determine the priority based on the spatial position of the operation quadrant, with the operation quadrant closer to the steering wheel (such as the second operation quadrant) having a higher priority, in order to prevent the driver's palm from accidentally touching the quadrant furthest away.

[0075] Step S702: When both the Y-axis and X-axis chuck signals are detected simultaneously, select the appropriate action based on the preset conflict handling rules; Specifically, if the controller receives both the Y-axis and X-axis toggle direction signals from the toggle detection unit at the same time or within a very short time window (such as 50 milliseconds), the controller will identify them as invalid operations and will not perform any actions to avoid conflicts between the window lifting and door lock control.

[0076] In some embodiments, the conflict handling rule prioritizes the toggle signal in the X-axis direction, meaning that door lock control has a higher priority than window lift control, to ensure driving safety.

[0077] Step S703: When the Y-axis toggle signal does not appear within the preset response time after the operation quadrant trigger signal is detected, the quadrant selection signal is automatically cleared.

[0078] Specifically, if no Y-axis or X-axis toggle signal is detected within a preset response time (e.g., 5 seconds) after the quadrant trigger signal is detected, the controller automatically clears the quadrant selection signal, and the driver needs to reselect the target door, thus avoiding erroneous control caused by expired quadrant selection in subsequent operations.

[0079] In this embodiment, the reliability of the window lift switch in a real driving environment is improved by using a mechanism to prevent misoperation, combined with priority determination, conflict handling, and expiration clearing strategies.

[0080] The present invention also provides a vehicle, characterized in that it includes the window lift switch as described above.

[0081] One embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium for storing computer instructions, which, when executed by a computer, are used to perform all steps of the glass lift switch control method as described in any of the above method embodiments.

[0082] like Figure 8As shown, a hardware structure diagram of an electronic device for controlling a window lift switch according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, including: At least one processor 801; and, A memory 802 is communicatively connected to at least one processor 801; wherein, The memory 802 stores instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 801, which enables the at least one processor 801 to perform the glass lift switch control method as described in any of the above method embodiments.

[0083] Figure 8 Take the 801 processor as an example.
