Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle-based device control method, apparatus, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The development of the automotive industry has placed increasingly higher demands on manufacturers, who expect to develop vehicles that can efficiently manage the devices that need to be controlled in the car, thereby improving the driving experience and achieving optimal safety for the driver.

[0003] Currently, the most common method for controlling automotive devices is through physical push-button or rotary knob controls. This method requires manual contact with specific buttons and the application of pressure, making it outdated, cumbersome, and laborious. Given the current trend towards artificial intelligence, there is a need to find more convenient control methods.

[0017] In one possible implementation, if the light information meets a preset light threshold condition, an activation signal is sent to the controller via the light receiver, including:

[0056] It should be noted that, due to space limitations, this disclosure does not exhaustively list all possible implementation methods. Those skilled in the art, after reading this disclosure, should be able to deduce that any combination of technical features can constitute an optional implementation method, provided that the technical features do not contradict each other. The embodiments are described in detail below.

[0057] The development of the automotive industry has placed increasingly higher demands on manufacturers, who expect to develop vehicles that can efficiently manage the devices that need to be controlled in the car, thereby improving the driving experience and achieving optimal safety for the driver.

[0058] In some driving scenarios, such as autonomous driving, vehicles can adjust the control devices. For example, driving controls like the steering wheel no longer need to be constantly within the driver's reach. Furthermore, to provide more space inside the vehicle, these driving controls can be moved out of the driver's reach when not in use. When these driving controls are needed, the driver can instruct them to return to their original position by operating a mechanical component (such as a switch).

[0059] Currently, the most common method for controlling automotive devices is through physical push-button or rotary knob controls. This method requires manual contact with designated buttons and the application of pressure, making it outdated, cumbersome, and laborious. Furthermore, this method becomes even less convenient when the control device is not within the driver's reach.

[0060] This disclosure provides a vehicle-based device control method, which relates to a vehicle-based device control method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium, and aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0061] The technical solutions of this disclosure and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Figure 1 This disclosure provides a vehicle structure diagram for a vehicle-based device control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1It is understood that vehicle 10 may include a body 12 and four wheels 14, a passenger compartment 18, a transparent cover 16, and a vehicle controller 8. The transparent cover includes a roof section that extends continuously forward from the windshield of vehicle 10 and rearward to cover the vehicle's trunk. A frame 20 provides rigid support for the transparent panel of the cover while allowing as much light as possible to penetrate the passenger compartment 18. The passenger compartment 18 has three seats, including a driver's seat in the center of the vehicle and two rear seats for passengers. A steering wheel may be mounted in the center of the passenger compartment 18 for the driver's convenience. Alternatively, the passenger compartment 18 may have four seats, including a front seat for the driver, a front seat for passengers, and two rear seats for passengers. A steering wheel may be mounted in front of the driver. The solution described in this disclosure also applies to this situation, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0063] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a vehicle-based device control method provided in this disclosure embodiment. Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0064] S201. Determine the light information within a preset area of ​​the vehicle using a light receiver at a preset location on the vehicle.

[0065] For example, light information can refer to the light intensity within a preset area. A light receiver is used to receive the light beam emitted by a light emitter, i.e., a light source. The preset area refers to the region where the light receiver detects the light intensity. The light receiver may include a light sensor or a photodetector, which is installed at a preset location in the vehicle to monitor the light information emitted by the light source inside the vehicle. The preset location can be a surface area of ​​the device to be controlled, or a location in the direction of the device to be controlled. The preset location can be on the device to be controlled or in the direction of the device to be controlled. This ensures that changes in light can be effectively captured. Through the light receiver at the preset location, the vehicle can obtain light information within the preset area in real time. For example, taking a car steering wheel as the device to be controlled, a light source is preset in the car, emitting a light beam in the direction of the steering wheel, and a light receiver is set in the direction of the steering wheel. The light receiver can determine the light intensity within the preset area, i.e., determine the light information within the preset area of ​​the vehicle.

[0066] The advantage of this setup is that by using a light receiver to monitor light information in real time, it is easier to respond quickly to light information and control the device to be controlled based on the light information, thereby improving driving comfort. At the same time, automated control also reduces the driver's workload.

[0067] In this embodiment, a light source is installed on the vehicle; the light information within a preset area of ​​the vehicle is determined by a light receiver at a preset position on the vehicle, including: if it is determined that there is no user within the preset area of ​​the vehicle, the light source is controlled to emit a light beam; wherein the light beam is directed at the light receiver on the device to be controlled; the light information received by the light receiver is determined as the light information within the preset area of ​​the vehicle.

[0068] For example, a vehicle is equipped with a light source that emits a beam of light towards a light receiver located on a device to be controlled. Consider a car steering wheel as an example. If the car is in autonomous driving mode, i.e., when there is no driver within a preset area of ​​the vehicle, the vehicle controller can control the light source to emit the beam of light. A camera can be installed inside the car to detect the presence of a driver within the preset area. When the camera detects that there is no driver within the preset area, the controller controls the light source to emit the beam of light towards the direction of the steering wheel. A light receiver is located in the direction of the steering wheel, and the light information received by the light receiver is determined as the light information within the preset area, where the light information refers to the intensity of the light beam. Figure 3 A vehicle interior structure diagram of a vehicle-based device control method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, 301 is the light source, 302 is the preset area (from the light source to a preset critical position), 303 is the vehicle compartment, 304 is the light beam emitted by the light source, 305 is the critical position of the preset area, and 306 is the steering wheel. The light beam emitted by the light source can illuminate the light receiver at the direction of the steering wheel, thereby determining the light information within the preset area.

[0069] The advantage of this setup is that by automatically detecting whether a driver is present in the preset area, the vehicle actively emits a beam of light and uses a light receiver to obtain light information, which enables the vehicle to maintain effective monitoring and control of the in-vehicle environment under various conditions, thereby improving the vehicle's reliability and safety.

[0070] In this embodiment, it is also included that if it is determined that there is a user within a preset area on the vehicle and the vehicle is in a preset driving mode, the light source is controlled to emit a beam of light.

[0071] For example, the preset driving mode could be an autonomous driving mode. Taking the steering wheel as an example, in autonomous driving mode, the steering wheel is in a retracted state. For instance, a camera can be installed in front of the driver's seat of the vehicle, which can monitor in real time whether a driver is present in a preset area. If the car is not in autonomous driving mode, the camera collects information from the preset area to determine whether a driver is present. If no driver is present, the vehicle is not started, and the controller controls the light source to emit a beam of light. If a driver is detected in the preset area, and the vehicle is not started, and the steering wheel is in a retracted state, the controller controls the light source to emit a beam of light. If a driver is detected in the preset area, the vehicle is in motion, and it is not in autonomous driving mode, the controller can control the light source not to emit a beam of light, and the steering wheel extends for the driver's use. If the vehicle is in autonomous driving mode, the controller will control the light source to emit a beam of light regardless of whether a driver is present in the preset area.

[0072] The advantage of this setup is that it facilitates continuous and accurate monitoring of the light emitted by the light source, improving the reliability and safety of autonomous driving and enhancing driver comfort.

[0073] S202. If the light information meets the preset light threshold conditions, then control the device to be controlled on the vehicle to move to the target position.

[0074] For example, light information can refer to the intensity of light. For instance, taking a car steering wheel as an example, when the steering wheel is in the retracted state, the driver is in the driving position, and the vehicle is not in autonomous driving mode, the light beam is in the emission state, and the direction of the light beam is towards the steering wheel. Figure 4 A beam obstruction diagram inside a vehicle provided in an embodiment of this disclosure for a vehicle-based device control method, such as... Figure 4 As shown, 401 is a light source used to emit a light beam to the light receiver; 402 is the vehicle compartment; 403 is the light beam emitted by the light source; 404 is the critical position of the preset area, i.e., the position where the driver's hand blocks the light. The preset area can refer to the area formed from the position of the light source to this critical position. 405 is the steering wheel. When the driver is in the driving position and the steering wheel is in the retracted state, when the driver reaches towards the steering wheel, the light beam emitted by the light source will be partially or completely blocked by the driver's hand, causing the light intensity to weaken. At this time, the light receiver at the steering wheel direction detects that the light information meets the preset light threshold condition, and then the light receiver sends an activation signal to the controller. The controller then controls the steering wheel to move towards the driver until it moves to the target position. The target position can refer to the position where the steering wheel touches the driver's hand. The light receiver can be located on the surface of the steering wheel or at a certain position in the direction of the steering wheel.

[0075] The advantage of this setup is that it automatically controls the movement of the device to be controlled based on the light intensity, making it easier to control the device while saving interior space and improving vehicle comfort.

[0076] This disclosure provides a vehicle-based device control method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. A light receiver is installed at a preset position on the vehicle. This preset position can be on the surface of the device to be controlled or at a location in the direction of the device. The light receiver receives light information and determines the light intensity within a preset area of ​​the vehicle. A preset light threshold condition is established. The light receiver compares the detected light intensity with this preset threshold condition. If the preset threshold condition is met, the device to be controlled is moved to the target position. In this disclosure, by comparing the received light information with the preset light threshold condition using a light receiver at a preset position, and controlling the device to be controlled to move when the threshold condition is met, this method automatically detects light intensity, thus enabling more convenient and efficient control of the device without requiring driver intervention, improving driving experience and safety.

[0077] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a vehicle-based device control method provided in this disclosure embodiment. Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0078] S501. Determine the light information within a preset area of ​​the vehicle using a light receiver at a preset location on the vehicle.

[0079] For example, this step can refer to step S201 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0080] S502. If the light information meets the preset light threshold conditions, an activation signal is sent to the controller through the light receiver; wherein, the activation signal is used to instruct the controller to control the device to be controlled.

[0081] For example, the activation signal is used to instruct the controller to control the device under control. The light information can refer to the intensity of the light. For instance, if a light source continuously emits a beam of light and the light is not blocked, the light receiver is constantly receiving light and continuously monitoring the light information, comparing the monitored light information with a preset light threshold condition. When the light is completely or partially blocked, the light intensity changes, and the light receiver can detect that the light information has reached or exceeded the preset light threshold condition. At this time, the light receiver can generate an activation signal and send the generated activation signal to the controller. The light receiver can be located on the surface of the device under control or at a location in the direction of the device under control.

[0082] The advantage of this setup is that by detecting the intensity of light, an activation signal is generated, which facilitates the subsequent automatic control of the device under control, improving response speed and operational efficiency, and enhancing the driving experience.

[0083] S503. The controller moves the device to be controlled to the target location.

[0084] For example, a controller is installed inside the vehicle to coordinate and manage various subsystems and data within the vehicle. Upon detecting light information that meets a preset light threshold condition, the light receiver generates an activation signal and sends it to the controller. Upon receiving the activation signal, the controller, according to preset execution instructions, controls the device to be controlled to move to the target location. Figure 6 A diagram showing the movement of the device to be controlled within a vehicle, provided as an embodiment of this disclosure, for a vehicle-based device control method. Figure 6 As shown, 601 represents the passenger compartment, 602 the steering wheel, and 603 the critical position of the preset area. After receiving the activation signal, the controller moves the steering wheel towards the driver until it reaches the target position. The target position can refer to the position of the driver's hand within the preset area, and the preset area refers to the area formed by the light source at the critical position. The light source can be located above the driver's head.

[0085] The advantage of this setup is that by controlling the device under control through the controller, the need for manual intervention can be reduced, the degree of automation of operation can be increased, and thus the overall efficiency can be improved.

[0086] In this embodiment, if the light information meets the preset light threshold condition, an activation signal is sent to the controller through the light receiver, including: if the light intensity represented by the light information is less than the preset light intensity threshold, an activation signal is sent to the controller through the light receiver.

[0087] For example, a light receiver is installed in the vehicle. This light receiver can detect the light information of the received light beam, i.e., the light intensity of the beam. This light receiver can be located on the surface of the device to be controlled, or at a location in the direction of the device to be controlled. Combined with... Figure 6 As shown, the light receiver can be positioned in the direction of the steering wheel. It can detect the light intensity by detecting the degree of light obstruction caused by the driver's hand movements. When the driver's hand moves towards the steering wheel, it obstructs the light. If the light receiver detects that the light intensity at this time is less than a preset light intensity threshold, it can generate an activation signal and send the activation signal to the controller.

[0088] The advantage of this setup is that by detecting light intensity to send an activation signal to the controller, it can respond in real time without interfering with the driver's normal operation, thereby improving the vehicle's intelligence and driving experience.

[0089] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor is installed on the device to be controlled.

[0090] For example, a pressure sensor is a device capable of detecting and measuring pressure applied to the surface of a controlled device. By integrating a pressure sensor into the controlled device, changes in pressure experienced by the controlled device can be monitored, thereby determining the position of the controlled device. For example, combined with Figure 5 As shown, a pressure sensor can be installed on the steering wheel. When the steering wheel is moved, the pressure sensor can determine whether the steering wheel has moved to a designated position. For example, when the steering wheel touches the driver's hand, the pressure sensor reading will change. A pressure threshold can be preset. When the pressure sensor reaches or exceeds the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that the steering wheel has moved to the designated position, i.e., the target position has been reached.

[0091] The advantage of this setup is that it uses pressure sensors to determine the target position of the device to be controlled, making it easier to accurately determine the target position and placing the device to be controlled in the optimal position in the driver's area, thereby improving the driver's driving experience and safety.

[0092] In this embodiment, controlling the device to be controlled to move to the target location via the controller includes: controlling the device to be controlled to move along a preset direction via the controller; if the pressure sensor determines that the device to be controlled has touched the user's palm, then the device to be controlled is determined to have moved to the target location.

[0093] For example, a controller is installed in the vehicle to control the device to be controlled, such as the movement of the steering wheel or the seat. A pressure sensor installed on the device can monitor the pressure on its surface in real time. Taking a car steering wheel as an example, the controller can control the steering wheel to move in the direction of the driver. A pressure threshold can be preset; when the pressure sensor reading reaches the threshold, the steering wheel stops moving. That is, when the steering wheel comes into contact with the driver's hand during movement, the pressure sensor detects the resulting pressure information. Simultaneously, the pressure sensor transmits this pressure information to the controller as a feedback signal. After receiving the signal from the pressure sensor, the controller determines that the steering wheel has touched the driver's hand, i.e., it has reached the target position. At this point, the controller stops the steering wheel and determines its current position as the target position.

[0094] The advantage of this setup is that by using pressure sensors to determine the target location of the device to be controlled, discomfort or potential safety hazards to the driver can be avoided, thus improving the driving experience and safety.

[0095] In this embodiment, a light source is installed on the vehicle, which is a laser emitter.

[0096] For example, the vehicle is equipped with a pre-installed light source for emitting a light beam towards a light receiver. This light source is a laser emitter. A laser emitter is a device capable of generating a high-intensity, highly directional light beam. Laser emitters can produce high-quality light effects, making it easier for the light receiver to detect the light intensity. In addition, laser emitters can also be used for ambient lighting inside the vehicle, enhancing the visual experience and comfort. This ambient lighting can be adjusted according to the driving mode or driver preferences, facilitating the creation of a personalized in-vehicle environment.

[0097] The benefits of this setup are that, by using a laser emitter, the light receiver can more accurately identify the light intensity, improving the accuracy of the response. In addition, installing a laser emitter inside the vehicle can also enhance the vehicle's technological feel and user experience.

[0098] In this embodiment, the control light source is also stopped emitting a light beam after the device to be controlled moves to the target position.

[0099] For example, the light source can be a laser emitter. Taking a car steering wheel as an example, when the controller moves the steering wheel and the steering wheel touches the driver's hand, the pressure information from the pressure sensor on the steering wheel will change. A pressure threshold can be preset. When the pressure of the pressure sensor reaches the preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the steering wheel has moved to the optimal position, that is, to the target position. The pressure sensor can transmit this pressure information to the controller, and the controller controls the steering wheel to stop moving, and at the same time, controls the light source to stop emitting the light beam.

[0100] The advantage of this setup is that when the controlled device moves to the target position, the control light source stops emitting light, which helps save energy and extend the life of the light source. At the same time, it ensures that the controlled device does not perform unnecessary operations after reaching the target position, thereby improving the control efficiency of the controlled device.

[0101] In this embodiment, the light source is located inside the cabin above the driver's seat.

[0102] For example, the light source is a laser emitter. This laser emitter can be located inside the vehicle cabin above the driver's seat. Furthermore, positioning the laser emitter above the driver's head inside the cabin avoids the emitted beam being affected by the driver's occasional minor movements, which could cause the light receiver to misjudge the light intensity.

[0103] The advantage of this setup is that by installing the laser emitter above the driver's head inside the vehicle cabin, the emitted beam is not affected by the driver's occasional minor movements, making the light receiver more accurate in detecting light intensity and thus improving detection accuracy.

[0104] In this embodiment, the method further includes: acquiring device configuration information input by the user; wherein the device configuration information represents the device to be controlled; determining the rotation angle of the light source based on the device configuration information; wherein the rotation angle is directed toward the device to be controlled; and controlling the light source to rotate based on the rotation angle.

[0105] For example, device configuration information represents the device to be controlled. The device to be controlled can include various items, such as a steering wheel, seat, and rearview mirror. First, before controlling the device, the driver can pre-enter the device's configuration information into the vehicle system, allowing the controller to control the device based on this information. The device configuration information can include the type, orientation, and position of the device to be controlled. Then, the controller can obtain this device configuration information and determine the rotation angle of the light source based on it. Finally, based on the rotation angle, the controller controls the light source to rotate. For example, if the driver inputs the position and orientation of the steering wheel, the controller can determine the rotation angle of the light source based on this configuration information and control the light source to rotate so that the light beam emitted by the light source can illuminate the light receiver in the direction of the steering wheel, facilitating subsequent control of the steering wheel.

[0106] The advantage of this setup is that by acquiring the input device configuration information, the characteristics and location of the device to be controlled can be accurately identified. The rotation angle of the light source can be dynamically determined based on the device configuration information, making it easy to adapt to different devices to be controlled. This allows the light source to automatically adjust to maintain the optimal illumination angle, improving flexibility. At the same time, it maximizes the use of the light source output, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the light source, and providing the driver with a more convenient and efficient driving experience.

[0107] This disclosure provides a vehicle-based device control method, apparatus, and storage medium. A light receiver is installed at a preset position on the vehicle. This preset position can be on the surface of the device to be controlled or at a location in the direction of the device. The light receiver receives light information and determines the light intensity within a preset area of ​​the vehicle. A preset light threshold condition is established. The light receiver compares the detected light intensity with this preset threshold condition. If the preset threshold condition is met, the device to be controlled is moved to the target position.
