[0002] With the continuous advancement of intelligent technologies, most currently available cars are equipped with a smart cabin to enhance the driving experience. In the car's smart cabin, relevant interior components can be adjusted as needed. For example, the car's steering wheel can be retracted into the center console to increase the space in the driver's cabin, and the car's seats can be adjusted to suit the body shape and seating posture of different occupants.

[0003] However, the currently available control logic for relevant interior components is not yet complete and cannot achieve real-time monitoring or adjustment. If interference with a foreign object occurs during movement, such as when the adjustment path of the interior components is blocked by an occupant's body, it is impossible to prevent component damage or occupant injury in a timely manner. To achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment, additional sensors are usually considered to collect movement data from relevant interior components, which is not conducive to an integrated design of the intelligent cabin.

However, the exemplary embodiments may be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples discussed herein. Rather, by providing these embodiments, the present disclosure is presented broadly and completely, thus fully conveying the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0039] Furthermore, the drawings are only schematic representations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Throughout the drawings, like reference numerals may refer to like or similar parts, so that repeated description is omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional units and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent units. These functional units may be implemented in the form of software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in various networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0040] The flowcharts shown in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily include all steps. For example, some steps may be split, some steps may be combined, or some steps may be partially combined. The actual execution sequence may vary depending on the actual situation.

[0041] To solve the technical problems in the related art, the present disclosure provides a vehicle interior system in which pose data of an interior component and an occupant are collected by a TOF camera, the interior component comprising an infrared light-reflecting material, at least one TOF camera is disposed in the vehicle, and then the interior component is adjusted by an adjustment controller. In the present disclosure, the term "occupant" refers to people riding in a cabin, including drivers and passengers.

[0042] Below, various specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the various specific embodiments are only illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0043] As in Fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle interior system. The vehicle interior system includes an interior component 10, a TOF camera 20, and an adjustment control 30. At least a portion of the interior component is made of an infrared-reflecting material.

[0044] The interior component 10 comprises one or more components located within the vehicle cabin, preferably components arranged within the vehicle cabin whose own pose can be adjusted. The pose of the interior component includes position information of a body of the interior component in three-dimensional space and / or a rotation angle of a part of the interior component or of the entire interior component relative to a specific rotation axis.

[0045] For example, the interior component 10 may comprise at least one of the following assemblies: a) a vehicle seat assembly, the vehicle seat assembly specifically comprising a seat body and a drive element (e.g., a motor) that drives a seat to move, the seat body being capable of adjusting its pose under the drive of the drive element, and the adjustment of the pose of the vehicle seat being, for example, a movement of the entire seat forward, backward, left, right, up, or down in the vehicle cabin, or, as another example, an adjustment of an inclination angle of a backrest of the seat about a connecting axis between the backrest and a seat cushion, or, as yet another example, an adjustment of the inclination angle of the entire seat about a specific rotation axis, etc.; and b) a steering wheel assembly, specifically comprising a steering wheel body and a drive element (e.g., a motor) that drives a steering wheel for movement. Adjusting the pose of the steering wheel includes, for example, moving the entire steering wheel forward, backward, left, right, up, or down within the vehicle cabin, or, as another example, adjusting a rotation angle of the steering wheel about a rotation axis. Preferably, the steering wheel assembly further includes a folding steering wheel, and adjusting the pose may also include driving the steering wheel assembly to place it in a folded or unfolded state.

[0046] As a preferred solution, the interior component 10 may further comprise a seatbelt assembly. The seatbelt assembly comprises a fixed portion and a webbing portion, wherein the pose information of the interior component 10 includes at least: position information of the webbing portion and its twisting degree, etc.

[0047] As one embodiment, the position and shape of the webbing portion of the seat belt may be used to determine whether the seat belt currently meets the posture requirements during use. For example, whether the seat belt assembly is currently in its normal use position may be determined based on whether the webbing of the seat belt assembly can be detected at certain locations on the occupant's body (e.g., feature points on the shoulders, chest, waist, abdomen, etc.). As another example, whether the current use of the seat belt assembly meets the standard requirements may be determined based on information about whether the webbing is twisted or sagging.

[0048] The TOF camera 20 is arranged inside the vehicle cabin to photograph the interior of the vehicle cabin and thus obtain detection data. TOF in TOF cameras is the abbreviation of "Time of Flight" technology, the principle of which is as follows: the TOF camera emits a group of infrared or near-infrared light outwards, and the infrared or near-infrared light is reflected after it hits an object. The TOF camera receives the reflected light beam and calculates a time difference or phase difference from the emission to the reception to obtain the depth information of the corresponding object. By collecting depth data in different directions and distances in space, the corresponding depth information of one or more objects in the space can be acquired. Even more preferably, the TOF camera can also create a 3D model corresponding to the corresponding area or region based on the acquired depth information.space corresponds.

[0049] According to a preferred embodiment of the present solution, the system according to the present solution may comprise multiple TOF cameras. Those skilled in the art will understand that a method for obtaining depth data from multiple TOF cameras may be determined depending on actual requirements and conditions. For example, the depth data from the multiple TOF cameras may each be transmitted directly to the positioning controller 30 and then integrated by the positioning controller 30, or such depth data may be transmitted to the positioning controller 30 only after its integration processing, and so on. This will not be repeated.

[0050] According to a preferred embodiment of the present solution, the TOF camera can more effectively distinguish the interior components according to the present solution from other components in the vehicle interior environment and thereby more effectively detect the position of the interior component 10, since part or all of the interior component 10 additionally uses infrared light-reflecting materials compared to other components within the vehicle cabin. In this way, interference with the pose detection of the interior component 10 according to the present solution by other components is avoided and the accuracy of the pose detection of the interior component 10 is improved. Furthermore, this contributes to improving the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the adjustment strategy of the interior component 10.

[0051] The adjustment control 30 is used to determine the adjustment strategy of the interior component 10 depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20. As in Fig. 1, the adjustment control 30 in this first embodiment comprises in particular: a data acquisition module M110 used to communicate with the TOF camera 20 and to obtain detection data of the TOF camera 20, wherein wireless or wired communication can be performed between the data acquisition module M110 and the TOF camera 20; a pose determination module M120, which is used to determine a pose of at least one occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20, wherein a pose of an occupant is understood to mean position information and posture information of the occupant, wherein the pose of the occupant comprises in particular the position information of the occupant in a three-dimensional space and / or a rotation angle of a part of the body or the entire body of the occupant relative to a specific rotation axis; and an interior adjustment module M130, which is used to determine an adjustment strategy of the interior component 10 depending on a pose of at least one interior component 10 and the pose of the occupant in order to achieve optimal adaptation of the pose of the interior component 10 to the pose of the at least one occupant. Therefore, the adjustment control 30 can determine the poses of the interior component 10 and the occupant based on the detection data of the TOF camera 20 and precisely calculate the adjustment strategy for adjusting the interior component 10. Adjusting the interior component 10 can include, for example, moving the seat forward or backward, changing the angle of inclination of the seat backrest, unfolding or folding the folding steering wheel, and the like.

[0052] In this exemplary embodiment, the adjustment strategy of the interior component 10 specifically includes whether the pose of the interior component 10 needs to be adjusted and whether a smooth adjustment path can be planned when an adjustment is required. The smooth adjustment path here means that the interior component 10 does not spatially overlap with the occupants when adjusted from the current pose to a target pose along its adjustment path, i.e., that the interior component 10 does not collide with the occupants, does not scratch them, etc. When determining the adjustment strategy of the interior component 10, only the pose of one occupant can be considered, or the poses of multiple occupants can be considered, so that the interior component 10 can be optimally adapted to the poses of multiple occupants.

[0053] In the vehicle interior system of the present disclosure, by providing the infrared light reflecting material in the interior component 10 and collecting data by the TOF camera 20, the pose of the interior component 10 can be accurately determined, and at the same time, the pose of the occupant is detected by the TOF camera 20, thereby accurately determining the relative position of the occupant and the interior component 10, and thus accurately calculating the adjustment strategy of the interior component 10 to avoid accidental interference with the occupant by the interior component 10 during its adjustment, so that damage to the interior component 10 or injury to the occupant due to interference during the adjustment process of the interior component 10 is prevented.

[0054] The infrared reflective material is used to enhance the reflectivity of a target object to infrared light (MIR) or near-infrared rays (NIR). It can be applied as a coating to the surface of fabrics, leather, PU, ​​and other materials, or blended into fabrics as part of the woven fibers to enhance the surface reflectivity of fabrics, leather, PU, ​​and other materials to infrared light and / or near-infrared rays.

[0055] The infrared light reflecting materials usable in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, Ti-based metallic inorganic substances, Mg-based metallic inorganic substances, Al-based metallic inorganic substances, mixed materials of Ti-based metallic inorganic substances and Al-based metallic inorganic substances, mixed materials of Ti-based metallic inorganic substances and Mg-based metallic inorganic substances, and composite materials of Ti / Mg / Al-based metallic inorganic substances and carbon material, etc.

[0056] In this exemplary embodiment, a surface of the interior component 10 is covered with an infrared light-reflecting material film. For example, in one embodiment, the infrared light-reflecting material can be applied in the form of a coating directly to an outer surface of the interior component 10. In a further alternative embodiment, the infrared light-reflecting material can also be mixed directly into a raw material of the interior component 10, wherein the production of the interior component 10 results in a component with infrared light-reflecting material. In yet another alternative embodiment, the infrared light-reflecting material can first be applied to a film, wherein the surface of the interior component 10 is then covered with the film.

[0057] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module M110 receives the detection data from the TOF camera 20 upon receiving a start signal from the TOF camera 20. In practical applications, the driver starts the vehicle after getting into the vehicle. The TOF camera 20 can be configured to start as soon as the vehicle is ignited, or after the vehicle has started moving, or after the vehicle has been ignited and the driver / passenger has fastened their seatbelt. After the TOF camera 20 is started, the data acquisition module M110 and the TOF camera 20 are started to obtain the detection data from the TOF camera 20.After the detection data of the TOF camera 20 has been acquired for the first time, it is further contemplated that the detection data of the TOF camera 20 may be acquired at a preset time interval, or that the detection data of the TOF camera 20 may be acquired upon receipt of an occupant request to adjust the interior trim component 10.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment of the present solution, pose information of the interior component 10 and the occupant according to the present solution is determined based on the same reference coordinate system. The reference coordinate system can be determined by the pose determination module M120. More preferably, the pose determination module M120 is also used to determine an internal reference coordinate system of the vehicle prior to detecting the poses. Specifically, the pose determination module M120 uses the following steps to determine the internal reference coordinate system of the vehicle: Obtaining detection data from the TOF camera 20; determining a position of a fixed point in the vehicle depending on the detection data; and Creating a spatial coordinate system in the vehicle using the fixed point as a reference point.

[0059] The fixed point in the vehicle serving as the reference point can be a preset point in the vehicle cabin or selected and adjusted as needed. For example, the center of the vehicle's center console is used as the reference point; alternatively, the center of the front seat is used as the reference point. The directions of individual coordinate axes of the spatial coordinate system in the vehicle can be determined using additional auxiliary points.For example, when using the center of the vehicle's center console as a reference point, a point on the left or right side of the center console is selected as the first auxiliary point, with the direction of a line connecting the reference point and the first auxiliary point serving as the direction of the first coordinate axis, and a point directly behind or in front of the center console is selected as the second auxiliary point, with the direction of a line connecting the reference point and the second auxiliary point serving as the direction of the second coordinate axis. After the spatial coordinate system is created in the vehicle, it can be used as a reference for current detection of the pose of the interior component 10 and the occupant, or stored in a vehicle memory for future detection of the pose of the interior component 10 and the occupant.

[0060] In this embodiment, it is provided that the respective determination of the pose of at least one occupant by the pose determination module M120 depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20 comprises: determining a relative position between at least one feature point of the occupant and a reference point depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20, wherein the feature points here can be several key points of the occupant, wherein, for example, the facial pose of the occupant can be determined based on key points such as the eyes, nose, and mouth on the occupant's face, wherein the limb pose of the occupant can be determined based on key points such as the occupant's elbows and knees, and wherein the selection of the key points can be determined and adjusted as needed; and Determining the pose of the at least one occupant based on the at least one feature point, wherein, in this embodiment, the determined pose of the occupant comprises position information and posture information of the occupant. The position information of the occupant can be represented by a spatial coordinate range of the occupant's body in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle, while the posture information can be represented by an inclination angle of a specific body part of the occupant relative to the coordinate axis in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle.

[0061] The position information according to the present solution preferably includes, but is not limited to: 1) Coordinate information: e.g., three-dimensional coordinates of each point, characterized by (x, y, z) in the spatial coordinate system; 2) spatial volume: e.g., a spatial volume of an object / human body enclosed by several feature points and a fitting curve containing these feature points; 3) Classification information: For example, multiple feature points identified as belonging to the same object (e.g., an interior component or an occupant, etc.) or to the same location of the same object are classified as feature points of the same category; in another example, multiple feature points identified as being located on the occupant's head, such as nose feature points, chin feature points, top of the head feature points, etc., are classified as head feature points. In a preferred embodiment, the frequency or timing for detecting the pose of the interior component 10 may be different from the frequency or timing for detecting the pose of the occupant because the pose of the interior component 10 is relatively fixed and generally does not change before adjustment. For example, the frequency for detecting the pose of the interior component 10 is lower.It is only necessary to detect the pose of the interior component 10 once when starting the vehicle. After the interior component 10 has been adjusted according to the adjustment strategy, detection can be performed again, recording the adjusted pose of the interior component 10. If the pose data of the interior component 10 is to be used later, the previously stored pose data can be retrieved without re-detecting the pose of the interior component 10 with each adjustment. The pose of the occupant can be detected at a preset time interval.In this embodiment, the pose determination module M120 is further used to retrieve a pre-stored current pose of the at least one interior component 10 or to determine a current pose of the at least one interior component 10 depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20. The pose of the interior component 10 includes position information and posture information.

[0062] In this embodiment, it is provided that the determination of the pose of the interior component 10 by the pose determination module M120 depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20 comprises: determining a relative position between at least one feature point of the interior component 10 and a reference point depending on the detection data of the TOF camera 20, wherein the feature points here can be several key points of the interior component 10, wherein, for example, in the seat assembly, the pose of a seat body is detected depending on preset key points on armrests, backrests, and seat cushions of the seat body, and wherein the selection of the key points can be determined and adjusted as needed; and Determining the pose of the interior component 10 depending on the at least one feature point, wherein in this embodiment, the determined pose of the interior component 10 comprises position information and posture information of the interior component 10. The position information of the interior component 10 can be represented by a spatial coordinate range of the occupant's body in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle, while the posture information can be represented by an inclination angle of a specific part of the interior component 10 relative to the coordinate axis in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle.

[0063] As in Fig. 2, the interior adjustment module M130 in this first embodiment comprises: a target detection module M131 used to obtain respective target poses of one or more interior components corresponding to the at least one occupant, wherein in particular the target detection module M131 is used to obtain the body size of the occupant and to calculate a target pose by means of a preset target pose calculation algorithm depending on the body size of the occupant; a path planning module M132 used to determine an adjustment path of the interior component depending on a current pose and the target pose of the at least one interior component and on the pose of the at least one occupant, such that there is no interference between the adjustment path and the pose of the occupant, wherein the adjustment path planned here must satisfy two conditions: (1) the starting point is the target pose of the interior component and the end point is the target pose of the interior component; (2) there is no interference between the adjustment path and the current pose of the occupant, i.e., it is ensured that the interior component does not spatially overlap with the current pose of the occupant when moving along the adjustment path; and an instruction transmission module M133 used to generate a displacement instruction depending on the displacement path and transmit it to the interior component. Specifically, the instruction transmission module M133 can transmit a signal containing the displacement instruction to a drive element of the interior component (e.g., a motor or hydraulic system), control the switching on and off of the drive function of the drive element (e.g., switching the motor on and off, switching the hydraulic system on and off), and control the drive direction of the drive element (e.g., forward or reverse rotation of the motor, drive direction of the hydraulic system) so that the interior component is moved along the displacement path to the target pose.

[0064] When multiple occupants, such as a driver and one or more passengers, are in the vehicle, the path planning module M132 needs to consider the poses of the multiple occupants when planning the adjustment path. For example, when adjusting a pose of a driver's seat, it is necessary to consider not only whether there is an interference between the adjustment path of the driver's seat and the current pose of the driver, but also whether there is an interference between the adjustment path of the driver's seat and a pose of an occupant sitting behind the driver. If the driver's seat is adjusted too far from the center console, the space for the rear seat occupants will be greatly compressed, easily leading to collisions with the rear seat occupants. Therefore, the situation of multiple occupants at the same time must be compensated.In particular, it is provided that the path planning module M132 is used to determine the adjustment path of the interior component depending on the pose of the at least one interior component and on poses of several occupants, so that no interference occurs between the adjustment path and the several occupants.

[0065] In this embodiment, the target detection module M131 is used to obtain body parameters of the occupant and to determine the target pose based on the occupant's body parameters using a preset target pose calculation algorithm. Specifically, the target detection module M131 retrieves a preset mapping table between target poses and body parameters and obtains a target pose that corresponds to the occupant's body parameters. The mapping table between target poses and body parameters can be obtained by pre-collecting the body parameters of many different users and their appropriate target poses to create mappings between different target poses and body parameters.

[0066] For example, in the seat assembly for a relatively thin occupant, the seat body needs to be adjusted forward when the distance between the seat body and the center console is relatively large. The position of the seat body in its current pose is x1 meter away from a front panel, and the position of the seat body in its target pose is x2 meters away from the front panel, where x1 meter is greater than x2 meters. The planned adjustment path is a path from a current position to the target position. If a tilt angle a1 of the seat backrest in the current pose is very large and the occupant's back is not leaning against the backrest, the tilt angle of the seat backrest in the target pose is set to a smaller value a2. The planned adjustment path is a rotation from the current tilt angle a1 to the target rotation angle a2. From the current pose to the target pose, position and pose changes can also occur simultaneously.The adjustment path is planned depending on the target pose and the current pose, so that after the adjustment from the current pose according to the adjustment path, the target pose is reached and there is no interference with the pose of the occupant in the adjustment path.

[0067] In further alternative embodiments, the target pose of the interior component can also be determined in other ways. In an alternative embodiment, the target pose of the interior component is determined depending on an activation or deactivation state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is activated, the interior component must be set to a first pose state, wherein the target pose corresponds to the first pose state. And when the vehicle is deactivated, the interior component must be set to a second pose state, wherein the target pose corresponds to the second pose state. For example, when the vehicle is activated, the backrest of the seat is set to a pose with a smaller tilt angle; and when the vehicle is activated, the backrest of the seat is set to a pose with a larger tilt angle to make it easier for the occupants to rest.When the vehicle is activated, the folding steering wheel automatically unfolds; and when the vehicle is deactivated, the folding steering wheel automatically folds.

[0068] In another alternative embodiment, the target pose of the interior component may also be determined based on the occupant's preset habits. For example, an identity, ID, of each occupant and their corresponding target pose are pre-stored in a user database. After an occupant enters the vehicle, the occupant's identification information (e.g., facial identity (Face ID) collected by a TOF camera, fingerprint recognition, facial image recognition, password recognition, etc.) is acquired and the occupant's ID is determined. Then, a target pose corresponding to the occupant's ID is pre-stored from the user database, and a movement path is planned based on this target pose.

[0069] When the path planning module M132 plans the adjustment path, a situation may arise where planning a smooth path is impossible, that is, it is impossible to obtain an adjustment path that simultaneously satisfies the above two conditions (i.e., (1) the starting point is the target pose of the interior component and the end point is the target pose of the interior component; (2) there is no interference between the adjustment path and the current pose of one or more occupants). At this time, the path planning module M132 may issue an alarm notification, which may be provided by a sound and / or light emission, for example, a beep may be emitted, to inform the occupant that the adjustment path may cause interference and adjustment cannot be performed. The occupant can then set their own pose or the target pose of the interior component.

[0070] Furthermore, it is envisaged that, given that the pose of the occupant in the vehicle can change, a better adjustment strategy can be achieved if the occupant's pose can be predicted at individual points in time and if it can be predicted whether there is interference between the occupant and the interior component at individual points in time. Therefore, after the path planning module M132 has planned the adjustment path and before the instruction sending module M133 generates the adjustment instruction based on the adjustment path, the path planning module M132 must also predict whether the interior component will interfere with a moving occupant during its adjustment process according to the adjustment path.

[0071] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the interior adjustment module M130 also: a motion simulation module M134 used to obtain poses of the occupant at different times from the pose determination module and to predict a motion trajectory of the occupant by means of a preset motion trajectory prediction algorithm depending on the poses of the occupant at different times in order to determine the poses of the occupant at predetermined times, wherein the poses of the occupant at different times mentioned here refer to the poses of the occupant at historical times, wherein the poses of the occupant at the predetermined times refer to the poses of the occupant at predetermined times in a future period, wherein the length of the future period mentioned here can be determined depending on the planned time period for completing the adjustment of the interior component,and wherein the predetermined times may be defined as multiple times with the same time interval in a future period; and, an interference judgment module M135 used to judge whether an interference occurs between a displacement path planned by the path planning module M132 and the occupant's movement trajectory at predetermined times; if not, it is determined that the displacement path planned by the path planning module M132 is usable, wherein the instruction sending module M133 can generate an adjustment instruction according to the displacement path; if yes, an alarm message is issued, i.e., the occupant is informed that the occupant may interfere with the interior component during the displacement process, and wherein the alarm message can be an alarm by sound and / or light emission. After receiving the alarm message, the occupant can adjust their own pose, change their predetermined movement trend, or set the target pose of the interior component as needed to avoid interference with the displacement path.

[0072] With reference to Fig. 3 illustrates a schematic structural view of an adjustment controller 40 of a vehicle interior system according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the vehicle interior system also includes an interior component and a TOF camera. The structures and functions of the interior component and the TOF camera may be the same as those of the interior component 10 and the TOF camera in the first embodiment, respectively, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0073] As in Fig. 3, in the second embodiment, the adjustment control 40 comprises: a data acquisition module M210 used to communicate with the TOF camera and obtain detection data from the TOF camera, wherein wireless or wired communication can be performed between the data acquisition module M210 and the TOF camera; a pose determination module M220, which is used to determine a pose of at least one occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein a pose of an occupant is understood to mean position information and posture information of the occupant, wherein the posture information of the occupant includes a body size and a body posture of the occupant; and an interior trim adjustment module M230, which is used to determine an adjustment strategy of the interior trim component depending on a pose of at least one interior trim component and the pose of the occupant in order to achieve an optimal adaptation of the pose of the interior trim component to the pose of the at least one occupant. In particular, the interior trim adjustment module M230 can be constructed in the same way as the interior trim adjustment module M130 of the first embodiment, wherein the functions of the Fig. 2 can be used to determine the adjustment strategy of the interior component in order to realize the adjustment of the interior component, which is not described repeatedly here.

[0074] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 1, in that in the second embodiment, the adjustment control 40 further assesses whether the specifications are met depending on the pose of the interior component. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the adjustment control 40 and in particular: a pose assessment module M240 used to assess whether the current pose of the interior component satisfies preset conditions for a correct pose; if not, an alarm message is issued, which may be by sound and / or light emission, and upon receipt of the alarm message, the occupant can adjust the pose of the interior component.

[0075] For example, if the interior component is a steering wheel assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that the steering wheel is in an unfolded state after the vehicle is started. If the interior component is a seat assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that after the vehicle is started, the distance between the seat and the front panel is within a preset distance range, and the inclination angle of the seatback is within a preset angle range. If the interior component is a seatbelt assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that the surface of the seatbelt is smooth and does not twist.Furthermore, it is provided that in the case where the pose judgment module M240 judges that the pose of the interior component does not meet the preset conditions for a correct pose, an adjustment instruction can also be sent to the interior adjustment module M330 so that the pose of the interior component is automatically corrected by the interior adjustment module M330.

[0076] With reference to Fig. 4 shows a schematic structural view of an adjustment controller 50 of a vehicle interior system according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the vehicle interior system also includes an interior component and a TOF camera. The structures and functions of the interior component and the TOF camera may be the same as those of the interior component 10 and the TOF camera in the first embodiment, respectively, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0077] As in Fig. 4, in the third embodiment, the adjustment control 50 comprises: a data acquisition module M310 used to communicate with the TOF camera and obtain detection data from the TOF camera, wherein wireless or wired communication can be performed between the data acquisition module M310 and the TOF camera; a pose determination module M320, which is used to determine a pose of at least one occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein a pose of an occupant is understood to mean position information and posture information of the occupant; and an interior trim adjustment module M330, which is used to determine an adjustment strategy of the interior trim component depending on a pose of at least one interior trim component and the pose of the occupant in order to achieve an optimal adaptation of the pose of the interior trim component to the pose of the at least one occupant. In particular, the interior trim adjustment module M330 can be constructed in the same way as the interior trim adjustment module M130 of the first embodiment, wherein the functions of the Fig. 2 can be used to determine the adjustment strategy of the interior component in order to realize the adjustment of the interior component, which is not described repeatedly here.

[0078] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 1, in that in the third embodiment, the adjustment control 50 further judges, depending on the current pose of the interior component and the pose of the occupant, whether the relative position of the interior component and the occupant corresponds to the specifications. As shown in Fig. 4, the adjustment control 50 further comprises in particular: a relative position judgment module M340, which is used to judge whether the relative position of the interior component and the occupant meets preset conditions for a correct relative position; if yes, the relative position is correct; if no, an alarm message is issued.

[0079] For example, if the interior component is a seat belt, the condition for a correct relative position is that the seat belt is correctly fastened on the front of the occupant. By judging the relative position of the seat belt and the occupant, it is determined whether the seat belt is correctly fastened by the occupant. If the interior component is a seat, the condition for a correct relative position is that the occupant is sitting upright on the seat. By judging the relative position of the seat and the occupant, it is determined whether the occupant is sitting upright on the seat and whether there is an unfavorable sitting posture that could affect driving safety.If the interior component is a steering wheel, the condition for correct relative position is that the distance between the steering wheel and the occupant such as the driver is within a preset allowable range. By judging the relative position of the steering wheel and the driver, it determines whether the steering wheel is too far from or too close to the driver. If the relative position between the interior component and the occupant does not meet the preset conditions for correct relative position, an alarm message is issued to inform the occupant to correct their own pose or the pose of the interior component. The occupant can correct the pose of the interior components by manually operating the seat adjustment button to adjust the pose of the seat or by manually adjusting the wearing state of the seat belt.It is further provided that in the case where the relative position judging module M340 judges that the relative position does not meet the preset conditions for a correct relative position, an adjustment instruction can also be sent to the interior trim adjustment module M330 so that the relative position is automatically corrected by the interior trim adjustment module M330.

[0080] In a further optional embodiment, the Fig. 3 shown second embodiment and the one in Fig. 4 can also be combined. For example, the adjustment controller comprises: a data acquisition module, a pose determination module, a pose judgment module, a relative position judgment module, and an interior adjustment module. The data acquisition module implements the functions of the data acquisition module M210 or the data acquisition module M310, the pose judgment module implements the functions of the pose determination module M220 or the pose determination module M320, and the interior adjustment module implements the functions of the interior adjustment module M230 or the interior adjustment module M330.The pose determination module M220 inputs the pose data to the pose judgment module or the relative position judgment module, wherein the pose determination module realizes the function of the pose judgment module M240, and wherein the relative position judgment module realizes the function of the relative position judgment module M340.

[0081] The present disclosure also provides a method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle, wherein a surface of the interior component to be adjusted is provided with an infrared light-reflecting material layer, for example by covering the surface of the interior component with an infrared light-reflecting material film, coating the surface of the interior component with an infrared light-reflecting material coating, or directly mixing the infrared light-reflecting material into a raw material for the interior component, etc. The interior component may be a vehicle seat, a seat belt, or a foldable steering wheel, but also other movable interior components. At least one TOF camera is arranged in the vehicle.The implementation process of the method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle according to various embodiments of the present disclosure is presented below with reference to various drawings.

[0082] With reference to Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a method for adjusting an interior component according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be implemented by means of the adjustment controller 30 in the vehicle interior system according to the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1. Specifically, the method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle comprises the following steps: S110: Obtaining detection data from the TOF camera; S120: determining a pose of at least one occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein the occupant may be a driver or a passenger; S130: Determining an adjustment strategy of the interior component depending on a pose of at least one interior component and on the pose of the at least one occupant in order to achieve an optimal adaptation of the pose of the interior component to the pose of the occupant.

[0083] As in Fig. 6, in this embodiment, step S130 “determining an adjustment strategy of the interior component depending on a pose of at least one interior component and on the pose of the at least one occupant” comprises the following steps: S131: Obtaining a current pose of the at least one interior component, which can be realized in particular by determining a current pose of the at least one interior component depending on the detection data of the TOF camera or by retrieving the pre-stored current pose of the at least one interior component (i.e., it is not necessary to redetect the pose each time, and the pose data stored after the previous detection can be directly retrieved); S132: Obtaining a target pose or respective target poses of one or more interior components corresponding to the at least one occupant; and S133: Determining an adjustment path of the interior component depending on a current pose and the target pose of the at least one interior component and on the pose of the at least one occupant, such that there is no interference between the adjustment path and the pose of the occupant, wherein the planned adjustment path must satisfy two conditions: (1) the starting point is the target pose of the interior component and the end point is the target pose of the interior component; (2) there is no interference between the adjustment path and the current pose of the occupant, i.e. it is ensured that the interior component does not spatially overlap with the current pose of the occupant when moving along the adjustment path, and that the interior component does not collide with the occupants when adjusting, does not scratch them, etc.

[0084] When there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, such as a driver and one or more passengers, the poses of the multiple occupants must be considered when planning the adjustment path. For example, when adjusting a pose of a driver's seat, it is necessary to consider not only whether there is an interference between the adjustment path of the driver's seat and the current pose of the driver, but also whether there is an interference between the adjustment path of the driver's seat and a pose of an occupant sitting behind the driver. If the driver's seat is adjusted too far from the center console, the space for the occupants in the rear seats will be greatly compressed, which easily leads to collisions with the occupants in the rear seats. Therefore, the situation of multiple occupants at the same time must be compensated.Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, step S130 “determining an adjustment strategy of the interior equipment component as a function of a pose of at least one interior equipment component and of the pose of the at least one occupant” comprises the following steps: Determining the adjustment strategy of the interior component depending on the pose of the at least one interior component and poses of several occupants, so that no interference occurs between the adjustment path of the interior component and the several occupants.

[0085] In this embodiment, step S132 “obtaining respective target poses of one or more interior components corresponding to the at least one occupant” comprises the following steps: Obtaining body parameters of the occupant; and Determining the target pose using a preset target pose calculation algorithm depending on the occupant's body parameters.

[0086] In one implementation, the determination of the target pose using the preset calculation algorithm for target poses, depending on the body parameters of the occupant, comprises the following steps: Retrieving a preset mapping table between target poses and body parameters, and determining a target pose that corresponds to the occupant's body parameters. The mapping table between target poses and body parameters can be obtained by pre-collecting the body parameters of many different users and their appropriate target poses to create mappings between different target poses and body parameters.

[0087] For example, in the seat assembly for a relatively thin occupant, the seat body needs to be adjusted forward when the distance between the seat body and the center console is relatively large. The position of the seat body in its current pose is x1 meter away from a front panel, and the position of the seat body in its target pose is x2 meters away from the front panel, where x1 meter is greater than x2 meters. The planned adjustment path is a path from a current position to the target position. If a tilt angle a1 of the seat backrest in the current pose is very large and the occupant's back is not leaning against the backrest, the tilt angle of the seat backrest in the target pose is set to a smaller value a2. The planned adjustment path is a rotation from the current tilt angle a1 to the target rotation angle a2. From the current pose to the target pose, position and pose changes can also occur simultaneously.The adjustment path is planned depending on the target pose and the current pose, so that after the adjustment from the current pose according to the adjustment path, the target pose is reached and there is no interference with the pose of the occupant in the adjustment path.

[0088] In further alternative embodiments, the target pose of the interior component can also be determined in other ways. In an alternative embodiment, the target pose of the interior component is determined depending on an activation or deactivation state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is activated, the interior component must be set to a first pose state, wherein the target pose corresponds to the first pose state. And when the vehicle is deactivated, the interior component must be set to a second pose state, wherein the target pose corresponds to the second pose state. For example, when the vehicle is activated, the backrest of the seat is set to a pose with a smaller tilt angle; and when the vehicle is activated, the backrest of the seat is set to a pose with a larger tilt angle to make it easier for the occupants to rest.When the vehicle is activated, the folding steering wheel automatically unfolds; and when the vehicle is deactivated, the folding steering wheel automatically folds.

[0089] As in Fig. 6, the method in this exemplary embodiment further comprises the following steps after step S133 “determining an adjustment path of the interior component depending on a current pose and a target pose of the at least one interior component and on the pose of the at least one occupant”: S134: Predicting a movement trajectory of the occupant by means of a preset movement trajectory prediction algorithm depending on the poses of the occupant at different times to determine the poses of the occupant at predetermined times, wherein the poses of the occupant at different times mentioned here refer to the poses of the occupant at historical times, wherein the poses of the occupant at the predetermined times refer to the poses of the occupant at predetermined times in a future period, wherein the length of the future period mentioned here can be determined depending on the planned time period for completing the adjustment of the interior component, and wherein the predetermined times can be set as a plurality of times with the same time interval in a future period; S135: Assess whether an interference occurs between the adjustment path and the occupant's movement trajectory at the predetermined times; If so, proceed to step S136: issuing an alarm message, i.e., informing the occupant that the occupant may interfere with the interior component during the adjustment process. The alarm message may be an alarm by sound and / or light emission. After receiving the alarm message, the occupant can adjust their own pose, change their predetermined movement trend, or adjust the target pose of the interior component as needed to avoid interference with the adjustment path.

[0090] If no, the process continues with step S137: generating an adjustment instruction depending on the adjustment path and outputting the adjustment instruction to the interior component. For example, a signal containing the adjustment instruction can be sent to a drive element of the interior component (e.g., a motor or hydraulic system) to control the switching on and off of the drive function of the drive element (e.g., switching the motor on and off, switching the hydraulic system on and off) and to control the drive direction of the drive element (e.g., forward or reverse rotation of the motor, drive direction of the hydraulic system) so that the interior component is moved along the adjustment path to the target pose.

[0091] In this embodiment, step S120 includes the following steps for determining a pose of at least one occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera: determining a relative position between at least one feature point of the occupant and a reference point depending on the detection data of the TOF camera; and wherein the feature points here can be several key points of the occupant, wherein, for example, the facial pose of the occupant can be determined based on key points such as the eyes, nose, and mouth on the occupant's face, wherein the limb pose of the occupant can be determined based on key points such as the occupant's elbows and knees, and wherein the selection of the key points can be determined and adjusted as needed; and Determining the pose of the occupant depending on the at least one feature point, wherein in this embodiment, the determined pose of the occupant comprises position information and posture information of the occupant. The position information of the occupant can be represented by a spatial coordinate range of the occupant's body in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle, while the posture information can be represented by an inclination angle of a specific body part of the occupant relative to the coordinate axis in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle.

[0092] In this embodiment, the pose of the interior components and the pose of the occupant are based on the same spatial coordinate system in the vehicle. The method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle also includes a step of pre-creating a spatial coordinate system in the vehicle, which in particular includes: Obtaining detection data from the TOF camera; Determining a position of a fixed point in the vehicle depending on the detection data; and Creating a spatial coordinate system in the vehicle using the fixed point as a reference point.

[0093] The fixed point in the vehicle that serves as the reference point can be selected and set as needed. For example, the center of the vehicle's center console is used as the reference point; alternatively, the center of the front seat is used as the reference point. The directions of individual coordinate axes of the spatial coordinate system in the vehicle can be determined using additional auxiliary points. For example, when the center of the vehicle's center console is used as the reference point, a point on the left or right side of the center console is selected as the first auxiliary point, with the direction of a line connecting the reference point and the first auxiliary point serving as the direction of the first coordinate axis, and a point directly behind or in front of the center console is selected as the second auxiliary point, with the direction of a line connecting the reference point and the second auxiliary point serving as the direction of the second coordinate axis.After the spatial coordinate system has been created in the vehicle, it can be used as a reference for current detection of the pose of the interior component and the occupant or stored in a vehicle memory for future detection of the pose of the interior component and the occupant.

[0094] In this embodiment, it is provided that determining the pose of the interior component depending on the detection data of the TOF camera comprises: determining a relative position between at least one feature point of the interior component and a reference point depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein the feature points here can be several key points of the interior component, wherein, for example, in the seat assembly, the pose of a seat body is detected depending on preset key points on armrests, backrests, and seat cushions of the seat body, and wherein the selection of the key points can be determined and adjusted as required; and Determining the pose of the interior component depending on the at least one feature point, wherein in this embodiment, the determined pose of the interior component comprises position information and posture information of the interior component. The position information of the interior component can be represented by a spatial coordinate range of the occupant's body in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle, while the posture information can be represented by an inclination angle of a specific part of the interior component relative to the coordinate axis in the spatial coordinate system within the vehicle.

[0095] Because the pose of the interior component is relatively fixed and generally does not change before adjustment, the frequency or timing for detecting the pose of the interior component may be different from the frequency or timing for detecting the pose of the occupant. For example, the frequency for detecting the pose of the interior component is lower. It is only necessary to detect the pose of the interior component once when the vehicle is started. After the interior component has been adjusted according to the adjustment strategy, detection can be performed again, recording the adjusted pose of the interior component. If the pose data of the interior component is to be used later, the previously saved pose data can be retrieved without re-detecting the pose of the interior component each time the adjustment is performed.The pose of the occupant can be detected at a preset time interval.

[0096] The procedure for adjusting the pose of the interior component in a specific example is described below with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 described in detail. In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, a driver is used as an example of the occupant and a seat is used as an example of the interior component. In further alternative embodiments, the occupants are not limited to the driver, but may also include front passengers, rear seat passengers, etc., wherein the interior components are not limited to seats and may also be seat belts, steering wheels, etc. To clearly illustrate the entire process, Fig. 7 schematically shows a detailed execution plan of steps S110 and S120 from Fig. 5 in a specific example. In particular, steps S111 to S116 of Fig. 7 a detail of step S110 from Fig. 5 in an example, wherein step S120' is a specific application of step S120 of Fig. 5 in an example. Fig. Fig. 8 mainly shows a detailed execution plan of steps S131 to S137 of Fig. 6 in a specific example, where to maintain continuity with Fig. 7 the step S120' from Fig. 7 is also shown. In particular, Fig. 8, step S131' illustrates a specific application of step S131 in a specific example, wherein step S132' illustrates a specific application of S132 from Fig. 6 in a specific example, wherein steps S1341 and S1342 are details of step S134 of Fig. 6 in a specific example, wherein steps S1351 and S1352 are details of step S135 of Fig. 6 in a specific example, wherein steps S1371 to S1373 are details of step S137 of Fig. 6 in a specific example, and wherein steps S133' and S136' are specific applications of S133 and S136 of Fig. 6 are.

[0097] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, after the driver gets in, the driver and the seat are first monitored by the TOF camera. Then, the following steps are performed: S111: Obtaining detection data of the driver and seat observed by the TOF camera; S112: Obtaining a facial identity of the driver depending on detection data of the TOF camera; S113: Assess whether the driver's facial identity matches facial identities pre-stored in a database of vehicle owners and other persons authorized to drive the vehicle; Proceeding to the following step S120' upon a successful match: Obtaining a pose of the driver depending on detection data of the TOF camera; Proceed to the following step S114 in case of an unsuccessful match: Sending a vehicle scene to the vehicle owner (e.g., sending a photo of the driver to the vehicle owner) so that the vehicle owner can confirm this; S115: Assess whether the vehicle owner confirms that the current driver is authorized to drive the vehicle; If confirmed, proceed to step S120'; If the vehicle owner does not confirm, proceed to the following step S116: Reject activation of the vehicle.

[0098] As in Fig. 8, after the execution of step S120', the following steps are also executed: S131': Obtaining a current pose of the seat; S132': Obtaining a target pose corresponding to the current pose; S133': Planning an adjustment path depending on the current pose of the seat and the pose of the driver, such that the starting point of the planned adjustment path is the target pose of the seat and its end point is the target pose of the seat; Steps S132' and S132' may be executed in parallel; alternatively, step S131' is executed first, and then step S132' is executed; alternatively, step S132' is executed first, and then step S131' is executed; If no adjustment path can be planned during the planning process that does not interfere with the driver's current pose, an alarm message will be issued, i.e., the driver will be informed that the driver may interfere with the seat during the adjustment process. The alarm message may be an alarm through sound and / or light emission; after receiving the alarm message, the driver can set his own pose, change his predetermined movement trend, or set the target pose of the seat as needed to avoid interference with the adjustment path.

[0099] Therefore, after performing step S120', the following steps are also performed: S1341: three-dimensional modeling of a human body depending on the driver's pose; S1342: Obtaining poses of the driver at different times, and predicting a movement trajectory of the driver by means of a preset algorithm for predicting a movement trajectory depending on the poses of the driver at different times, wherein the predicted movement trajectory of the driver comprises predicted poses of the driver at predetermined times in a certain future period; wherein steps S1341 and S1342 may be executed in parallel with steps S131' to S133'; alternatively, steps S131' to S133' are executed first, and then steps S1341 and S1342 are executed; alternatively, steps S1341 and S1342 are executed first, and then steps S131' to S133' are executed; S1351: Simulating relative positional relationships between the driver and the seat at the predetermined times in the certain future period in real time, depending on the three-dimensional modeling of the human body, the driver's movement trajectory and the planned adjustment path; S1352: Depending on the simulated relative positional relationship, judge whether there is an interference between the adjustment path and the driver's movement trajectory; Proceed to the following step S136' if a disturbance occurs; outputting an alarm message, ie, informing the driver that the driver may interfere with the seat during the adjustment process, wherein the alarm message may be an alarm by sound and / or light emission; after receiving the alarm message, the driver can adjust his or her own pose, change his or her predetermined movement trend, or adjust the target pose of the seat as needed to avoid interference with the adjustment path.

[0100] If no fault occurs, then the following step S1371 is continued: generating an adjustment instruction depending on the adjustment path and outputting the adjustment instruction to the drive element of the seat; S1372: Assess whether the adjustment is complete.

[0101] When the adjustment is completed, the process proceeds to the following step S1373: sending an instruction to end the adjustment to the seat drive element and ending the seat adjustment process.

[0102] If the adjustment is not yet completed, then return to step S1351.

[0103] In this embodiment, during the adjustment process of the interior component, corresponding request signals can also be output in different states. For example, if after the determination of the adjustment path in step S135 from Fig. 6 that no malfunction is present and the adjustment can be performed normally, a first prompt signal, for example, a flashing green light, is output. If it is determined in step S135 that a malfunction will occur, a second prompt signal, for example, a flashing red light, is output to inform the occupant that no further adjustments can be made.

[0104] A second embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle. The method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle according to this embodiment can be carried out by means of the adjustment control 40, as shown in Fig. 3. In this embodiment, the method for adjusting an interior component of a vehicle comprises a step of planning an adjustment path and adjusting the interior component, which step is implemented by steps S110 to S130 (including S131 to S137) as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, which will not be described again here.

[0106] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the assessment of whether the current pose of the interior component complies with the specifications in the second embodiment comprises the following steps: S210: Obtaining detection data from the TOF camera; S220: determining a current pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein the occupant may be a driver or a passenger; S230: Assess whether the current pose of the interior component meets preset conditions for a correct pose; if no, the following step S240 is continued: issuing an alarm message, which can be by sound and / or light emission, wherein after receiving the alarm message the occupant can adjust the pose of the interior component; If so, the following step S250 is continued: determining that the interior component has a correct pose, then terminating the adjustment process of the interior component.

[0107] For example, if the interior component is a steering wheel assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that the steering wheel is in an unfolded state after the vehicle is started. If the interior component is a seat assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that after the vehicle is started, the distance between the seat and the front panel is within a preset distance range, and the inclination angle of the seatback is within a preset angle range. If the interior component is a seatbelt assembly, the condition for a correct pose is that the surface of the seatbelt is smooth and does not twist.

In step A and step B, sub-step C can be executed only once, whereby the obtained pose of the interior component and the obtained pose of the occupant can be used simultaneously to plan a path and assess whether the pose of the interior component conforms to the specifications.It is also possible to execute sub-step C once separately in step A to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to judge whether the current pose of the interior component is correct; then, sub-step C is executed once separately in step B to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to plan the path and adjust the interior component.It is also possible to execute sub-step C once separately in step B to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to plan the path and adjust the interior component; then, sub-step C is executed once separately in step A to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to judge whether the current pose of the interior component is correct.

[0109] With reference to Fig. 10 shows a flowchart for judging a pose of a seat belt in a specific example. In this embodiment, a seat belt is taken as an interior component to perform the individual steps of Fig. 9. Steps S221 to S222 from Fig. 10 Details of step S220 from Fig. 9 in a specific example, wherein steps S210', S230', S240' and S250' of Fig. 10 shows a specific application of steps S210, S230, S240 and S250 Fig. 9 in a specific example.

[0110] How Fig. As shown in Figure 10, after the occupant (driver or passenger) enters the vehicle, the occupant and the seatbelt are monitored by the TOF camera. The following steps are then performed: S210': Obtaining seat belt detection data from the TOF camera; S221: Determining a length of the seat belt depending on the seat belt detection data; S222: Determining a flatness of the seat belt depending on the seat belt detection data; S230': Assess whether the length of the seat belt is within a reasonable range and the seat belt is not twisted; if no, proceed to the following step S240': issuing an alarm message informing the occupant that the seat belt is not properly fastened, wherein the occupant can adjust the seat belt after receiving the alarm message; if yes, proceed to the following step S250': determining that the seat belt has a correct pose, then terminating the process for judging a current pose of the seat belt.

[0111] A third embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for adjusting an interior component. The method for adjusting an interior component according to this embodiment can be carried out by means of the adjustment control 50, such as a Fig. 4. In this embodiment, the method for adjusting an interior component comprises a step of planning an adjustment path and adjusting the interior component, which step is implemented by steps S110 to S130 (including S131 to S137) as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, which will not be described again here.

[0112] In the third embodiment, the method for adjusting an interior component may further comprise a step of judging whether the relative position of the interior component and the occupant is in accordance with the specifications, wherein there is no particular order between this step and the step of planning an adjustment path and adjusting the interior component, that is, the two steps may be performed simultaneously or at different times as needed.

[0113] As in Fig. 11, the assessment of whether the relative position of the interior component and the occupant conforms to the specifications in the third embodiment specifically includes the following sub-steps: S310: Obtaining detection data from the TOF camera; S320: determining a current pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant depending on the detection data of the TOF camera, wherein the occupant may be a driver or a passenger; S330: Determining a relative position of the interior component and the occupant depending on the current pose of the interior component and the pose of the occupant; S340: Judging whether the relative position meets preset conditions for a correct relative position; if no, proceed to the following step S350: issuing an alarm message, which can be by sound and / or light emission, wherein the occupant can adjust the position of the interior component or adjust his or her own pose after receiving the alarm message; If so, proceed to the following step S360: determining that the relative position is correct, then ending the process for judging the seat belt position.

[0114] For example, if the interior component is a seat belt assembly, the condition for a correct relative position is that the seat belt is correctly fastened on the front of the occupant, with the seat belt relatively central on the occupant and running from one shoulder to the occupant's waist. By assessing the relative position of the seat belt and the occupant, it is determined whether the seat belt has been correctly fastened by the occupant. If the interior component is a seat assembly, the condition for a correct relative position is that the occupant is sitting upright in the seat. By assessing the relative position of the seat and the occupant, it is determined whether the occupant is sitting upright in the seat and whether there is an unfavorable sitting posture that could impair driving safety.If the interior component is a steering wheel assembly, the conditions for correct positioning are that the distance between the steering wheel and the occupant, such as the driver, is within a preset allowable range. By judging the relative position of the steering wheel and the driver, it determines whether the steering wheel is too far from or too close to the driver. If the relative position between the interior component and the occupant does not meet the preset conditions for correct positioning, an alarm message is issued to inform the occupant to correct their own posture or the pose of the interior component.

[0115] The step of judging whether the relative position of the interior component and the occupant conforms to the specifications (hereinafter referred to as step D) and the step of planning an adjustment path and adjusting the interior component (hereinafter referred to as step B) each include the following sub-step: obtaining detection data from the TOF camera, and respectively determining the current pose of the interior component and the pose of the occupant depending on the detection data from the TOF camera (hereinafter referred to as sub-step C). In step D and step B, sub-step C can be executed only once, whereby the obtained pose of the interior component and the obtained pose of the occupant can be used simultaneously to plan an adjustment path and assess whether the relative position conforms to the specifications.It is also possible to execute sub-step C once separately in step D to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to judge whether the relative position conforms to the specifications; then, sub-step C is executed once separately in step B to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to plan the path and adjust the interior component.It is also possible to execute sub-step C once separately in step B to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to plan the path and adjust the interior component; then, sub-step C is executed once separately in step D to obtain a pose of the interior component and a pose of the occupant, which are used to judge whether the relative position conforms to the specifications.

[0116] With reference to Fig. 12 shows a flowchart for judging a relative position of a seat belt and an occupant in a specific example. In this embodiment, a seat belt is taken as an interior component to illustrate the individual steps of Fig. 11. Steps S321 to S322 from Fig. 12 Details of step S320 from Fig. 11 in a specific example, wherein steps S310', S330', S340', S350' and S360' of Fig. 12 shows a specific application of steps S310, S330, S340, S350 and S360 Fig. 11 in a specific example.

[0117] How Fig. As shown in Figure 12, after the occupant (driver or passenger) enters the vehicle, the occupant and the seatbelt are monitored by the TOF camera.

[0118] In a specific embodiment, the Fig. 9 shown assessing the pose of the interior component also in conjunction with the Fig. 11 can be applied to assess the relative position of the interior component and the occupant. For example, the activation of some specific functions is only permitted if the steps in Fig. 9 it is judged that the interior component meets the preset conditions for a correct pose, and by the steps in Fig. 11, it is judged that the relative position of the interior component and the occupant meets the conditions for a correct relative position. For example, judging the pose of the seat belt in Fig. 10 in connection with assessing the relative position of the seat belt and the occupant in Fig. 12 is applied. Only when the steps in Fig. 10 it is judged that the pose of the seat belt is correct, and by the steps in Fig. 12 If it is judged that the relative position of the seat belt and the occupant is correct, it can be determined that the seat belt is correctly fastened. After determining that the seat belt is correctly fastened, a collision protection strategy for the occupant can be further developed depending on the occupant's height and the seat belt's posture.
