Specifically, the input unit 130 may include a touch screen 131 (optional) and / or other input devices 132. The touch screen 131 can collect touch operations of the user thereon or nearby (such as operations of the user using any suitable object such as a finger, a joint, a stylus, etc. on or near the touch screen), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a preset program. The touch screen can detect the touch action of the user on the touch screen, convert the touch action into a touch signal and send it to the processor 170, and can receive and execute the commands sent by the processor 170; the touch signal at least includes contact coordinate information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the display unit 140 can be used to display a user interface for a starry sky ceiling, etc.

[0043] The memory 120 can be used to store instructions and data. The memory 120 mainly includes a storage instruction area and a storage data area. The storage data area can store various data, such as multimedia files, texts, etc.; the storage instruction area can store software units such as an operating system, applications, instructions required for at least one function, or their subsets, extended sets.

It is also used for the storage of multimedia files, and the storage of running programs and applications.

[0044] The processor 170 is the control center of the terminal 100, connecting various parts of the entire terminal 100 through various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing instructions stored in the memory 120 and invoking data stored in the memory 120, it executes various functions of the terminal 100 and processes data, thereby exercising overall control over the terminal device. Optionally, the processor 170 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 170 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Among them, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, application programs, etc., and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It can be understood that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 170. In some embodiments, the processor and the memory may be implemented on a single chip, and in some embodiments, they may also be separately implemented on independent chips. The processor 170 can also be used to generate corresponding operation control signals, send them to corresponding components of the computing and processing device, read and process data in the software, especially read and process data and programs in the memory 120, so that each functional module therein executes corresponding functions, thereby controlling the corresponding components to act according to the requirements of the instructions.

[0045] Among them, the memory 120 can be used for software codes related to setting various parameters of the starry sky ceiling. The processor 170 can execute these codes or schedule other units (such as the above-mentioned input unit 130 and display unit 140) to implement corresponding functions.

[0046] The radio frequency unit 110 (optional) can be used for receiving and transmitting information or signals during a call. For example, after receiving the downlink information from the base station, it is sent to the processor 170 for processing; in addition, the uplink data designed is sent to the base station. Generally, the RF circuit includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, etc. In addition, the radio frequency unit 110 can also communicate with network devices and other devices through wireless communication.

[0047] Among them, in the embodiment of this application, the radio frequency unit 110 can send the control data of the star ceiling set by the user to the server 200 and receive the processing result of whether the setting is successful sent by the server 200.

[0048] It should be understood that the radio frequency unit 110 is optional and can be replaced by other communication interfaces, such as a network port.

[0049] The terminal 100 also includes a power supply 190 (such as a battery) for powering each component. Preferably, the power supply can be logically connected to the processor 170 through a power management system, so as to realize functions such as management of charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

Some or all of the methods described below can be applied to the terminal 100 as Figure 2 shown.

[0052] Next, the product form of the server 200 will be described. Figure 1 in the server 200;

[0053] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a server 200 is provided, as Figure 3 shown. The server 200 includes a bus 201, a processor 202, a communication interface 203, and a memory 204. The processor 202, the memory 204, and the communication interface 203 communicate with each other through the bus 201.

[0054] The bus 201 can be a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus or an extended industry standard architecture (EISA) bus, etc. The bus can be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For the sake of simplicity of representation, Figure 3 only a thick line is used to represent it in the figure, but it does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0055] The processor 202 can be any one or more of a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor (MP), or a digital signal processor (DSP), etc.

[0056] The memory 204 can include volatile memory, such as random access memory (RAM). The memory 204 can also include non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD).

[0057] Among them, the memory 204 can be used to store software codes related to the parameter settings of the star ceiling. The processor 202 can execute the codes of the chip or schedule other units to implement corresponding functions.

[0058] It should be understood that the above-mentioned terminal 100 and server 200 can be centralized or distributed devices, and the processors in the above-mentioned terminal 100 and server 200 (such as processor 170 and processor 202) can be hardware circuits (such as application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), general-purpose processor, digital signal processor (DSP), microprocessor or microcontroller, etc.), or a combination of these hardware circuits. For example, the processor can be a hardware system with the function of executing instructions, such as CPU, DSP, etc., or a hardware system without the function of executing instructions, such as ASIC, FPGA, etc., or a combination of the above-mentioned hardware system without the function of executing instructions and the hardware system with the function of executing instructions.

[0059] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a star ceiling control system. The star ceiling control system in the embodiment of the present application will be introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a structural diagram of a star ceiling control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, a star ceiling control system provided by an embodiment of the present application may include: a camera module 401, a cockpit control module 402, and a star ceiling control module 403 that are connected in sequence.

[0061] The camera module 401 sends the operation data of other vehicles outside the vehicle obtained in real time to the cockpit control module 402.

[0062] The cockpit control module 402 sends the meteor control instruction corresponding to the operation data to the star ceiling control module 403.

[0063] The star ceiling control module 403 is also connected to the star ceiling lamp head 404 on the star ceiling, and controls the star ceiling lamp head 404 to achieve a meteor effect according to the meteor control instruction.

[0064] Specifically, the camera module 401 can adopt cameras such as driving recorders installed on the vehicle and cameras on the rearview mirror that can detect the environment around the vehicle. It collects images or videos of other vehicles around the vehicle. When specifically used, to improve the conversion of the collected vehicle operation data into a more abundant display effect of corresponding meteors on the starry sky ceiling, image recognition software or plugins can be integrated on the camera module to identify the lane where the vehicle is located, the driving speed, the vehicle color, the vehicle model size, etc. collected, and use the identified results as new operation data, thereby improving the processing speed of the cockpit control module 402.

[0065] It can be understood that the implementation of the image recognition function integrated in the above camera module can be carried out using existing recognition models or methods in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] The cockpit control module 402 can directly adopt the intelligent cockpit main control unit in the vehicle. This intelligent cockpit main control unit is a highly integrated electronic system that integrates multiple functional modules onto a single chip, thereby improving system performance, reducing power consumption, and reducing physical size. It mainly includes a main controller, a graphics processor, and a communication interface. The graphics processor and the communication interface are respectively connected to the main controller, and the main controller is respectively connected to the camera module and the body control module through the communication interface.

[0067] Among them, the main controller, that is, the CPU, is responsible for executing computing tasks, and the graphics processor, that is, the GPU, is responsible for processing graphics-related tasks, such as rendering 3D graphics, video decoding, etc. The communication interface is responsible for handling wireless and wired communication functions, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, etc. In specific use, the communication interface can integrate multiple different communication standards and protocols.

[0068] The cockpit control module 402 can search for the correspondence of meteor control commands based on the correspondence between the operation data sent by the camera module 401 and the meteor control commands of the starry sky ceiling, and then send the meteor control commands to the starry sky ceiling control module 403 for execution. Among them, the meteor control commands can include the lighting area, color, brightness, etc. of the meteors. The starry sky ceiling control module 403 controls the lighting of the starry sky ceiling lamp heads 404 by executing these control commands, thereby realizing the display of other vehicles outside the vehicle in the form of corresponding meteors on the starry sky ceiling. Furthermore, it improves the traditional single meteor mode display method, increases the user experience and driving fun. The visual effect inside the vehicle is directly affected by the external environmental factors of the vehicle, increasing the driving interest and interactivity. Passengers can see the display of the starry sky ceiling echoing the external environment, providing a brand-new driving experience.

[0069] In a possible implementation, to improve the stability of the starry sky roof during operation and reduce the use of the HUT, i.e., the intelligent cockpit main control unit, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the starry sky roof control system further includes: a body control module 405, which is connected between the cockpit control module 402 and the starry sky roof control module 403. The body control module 405 forwards the meteor control instruction to the starry sky roof control module 403.

[0070] Specifically, the body control module 405 can use Renesas series chips to forward instructions. The body control module 405 is responsible for managing various electronic functions and devices in the vehicle, and these functions are usually directly related to the convenience, comfort, and safety of the vehicle. Although theoretically the system-on-chip has sufficient processing power to control these functions, in practice, there are specific reasons and advantages for controlling them separately by the body control module:

[0071] Specialization and optimization: The body control module is specifically designed to handle specific vehicle functions, such as lighting control and window control, etc., ensuring more efficient performance and better response speed.

[0072] Complexity management: Separating the body electronic control tasks from the main system can simplify the complexity of the main system, enabling the system-on-chip to focus on processing more complex tasks, such as driving assistance and multimedia interaction, etc. This helps to reduce the overall failure rate of the system and improve the convenience of maintenance and upgrade.

[0073] Modular design: The modular design enables the addition or replacement of the body control module as needed in different vehicle models and configurations without having to redesign the entire vehicle's electronic system.

[0074] Safety considerations: The design of the body control module usually includes a certain level of safety features, such as redundancy and fault detection mechanisms, to ensure that key functions such as headlights and brake lights can still work properly when the main system fails, guaranteeing driving safety.

[0075] Based on the above advantages of using the body control module, the body control module is added to the starry sky roof control system to forward the meteor control instruction.

[0076] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can also use other devices to forward the meteor control instruction, which is not limited here.

[0077] In a possible implementation, the camera module and the cockpit control module transmit operation data based on the CAN transmission protocol or the Ethernet transmission protocol. The operation data may include: the vehicle speeds of the vehicles in the same lane and oncoming lane at the vehicle's position, the vehicle colors of the vehicles in the same lane and oncoming lane at the vehicle's position, the vehicle model sizes, etc.

[0078] The meteor control instructions are transmitted between the cockpit control module and the body control module based on the CAN transmission protocol. The control instructions may include: the command for controlling the illuminated area of the starry sky ceiling, the command for controlling the mode of the starry sky ceiling (dynamic mode, static mode), the command for controlling the color of the starry sky ceiling, the command for controlling the brightness of the starry sky ceiling, etc.

[0079] The meteor control instructions are transmitted between the body control module and the starry sky ceiling control module based on the LIN transmission protocol. The LIN transmission protocol is a new type of low-cost serial communication bus, full name Local Interconnect Network (local interconnect network). It can solve the contradiction between the development requirements of automotive intelligence and networking and the reduction of automotive manufacturing costs.

[0080] The starry sky ceiling lamp head 404 includes LED particles and optical fibers connected to the LED particles. One end of each optical fiber is connected to the LED particle, and the other end is embedded in the leather or glass of the vehicle roof. The light is conducted through the optical fiber and emitted from the other end, forming an effect similar to stars.

[0081] To facilitate the user to remotely control the starry sky ceiling through an intelligent terminal, etc., the starry sky ceiling control system further includes a wireless communication module connected to the cockpit control module, such as T-Box, so that the cockpit control module can communicate wirelessly.

[0082] As a specific application of the above starry sky ceiling control system, refer to Figures 6 to 9 The figure shows the meteor display effect on the vehicle starry sky ceiling after applying the starry sky ceiling control system, where Figure 6 is the meteor display effect of three vehicles moving in the same direction as the current vehicle, Figure 7 is the meteor display effect of three vehicles moving in the opposite direction to the current vehicle, Figure 8 is the meteor effect diagram of three vehicles moving in the same direction after adding the vehicle color, Figure 9 is the meteor effect diagram of a large vehicle adjusted according to the size of the vehicle.

[0083] The embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including the starry sky ceiling control system as described in the above embodiment.

[0084] In addition, it should be noted that the device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed to multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment. In addition, in the attached drawings of the device embodiments provided in this application, the connection relationship between the modules indicates that there is a communication connection between them, which can be specifically implemented as one or more communication buses or signal lines.
