Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 2024101358671, filed on January 31, 2024, and U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 411,065, filed on January 12, 2024, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and more particularly to a method for associating panel controls for calibration signals, a computer-readable storage medium and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0003] When using an automotive calibration tool, the calibration signal defined as the observable can be observed by using the graphic window provided by the calibration tool itself, and the value of the calibration signal defined as the reference value can be corrected by using the excitation window provided by the calibration system itself.

[0004] However, in many cases, users need to design and monitor their own interface or change the operation interface. For example, they need to simultaneously add the observable calibration signal and the reference calibration signal of their interest to the interface, and in many cases, they need to add multiple identical observable calibration signals to the same interface. The observation methods for these signals can vary, for example, from graphical to numerical display. This need poses a problem: it is not possible to arrange the observable calibration signal and the reference calibration signal on the same page as desired using the graphic window or excitation window provided by the calibration system. In other words, it is difficult for users to observe and modify the signals in the calibration system using an interface they have designed themselves. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention relates to a method for associating panel controls for calibration signals, the method including: A corresponding mapping system variable is created for each calibration signal in the calibration system. By selecting a mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal that needs to be displayed and / or modified, and setting the selected mapping system variable to be associated with at least one panel control, the value of the mapping system variable is displayed on the panel control and / or the value of the mapping system variable can be modified on the panel control. When the calibration signal changes, the value of the corresponding mapping system variable changes, and when the value of a mapping system variable changes, it causes a corresponding change in the displayed value of all associated panel controls.

[0009] In order to clarify the objectives, technical aspects and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the technical aspects of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without performing creative work fall within the scope of protection of the invention. When using an automotive calibration tool, the calibration signal defined as the observable quantity can be observed using the graphic window provided by the calibration tool itself, and the value of the calibration signal defined as the reference value can be corrected using the excitation window provided by the calibration system itself.

[0010] However, in many cases, users need to design and monitor their own interface or change the operation interface. For example, they need to simultaneously add the observable calibration signal and the reference calibration signal of their interest to the interface, and in many cases, they need to add multiple identical observable calibration signals to the same interface. The observation methods for these signals can vary, for example, from graphical to numerical display. This need poses a problem: it is not possible to arrange the observable calibration signal and the reference calibration signal on the same page as desired using the graphic window or excitation window provided by the calibration system. In other words, it is difficult for users to observe and modify the signals in the calibration system using an interface they have designed themselves. For clarity, an observable calibration signal is a calibration signal that is used for observation and viewing. A reference calibration signal is a calibration signal that can be modified.

[0011] Accordingly, at least one embodiment provides a method for associating a panel control for a calibration signal, the method including: A corresponding mapping system variable is created for each calibration signal in the calibration system. By selecting a mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal that needs to be displayed and / or modified, and setting at least one panel control to be associated with the selected mapping system variable, the value of the mapping system variable is displayed in the panel control and / or the value of the mapping system variable can be modified using the panel control. When the calibration signal changes, the value of the corresponding mapping system variable changes, and when the value of a mapping system variable changes, the displayed value of all associated panel controls changes accordingly.

[0012] Specifically, multiple panel controls can be displayed on the same interface, allowing users to freely design their own user interfaces and display and modify calibration signals based on the designed interfaces. For example, in the process of calibrating a chassis brake system, a user can design multiple user interfaces, such as a basic brake system operation interface, an ABS system operation interface, and a VDC system operation interface. In the corresponding operation interface, the user can perform observation and parameter optimization for a single system without being affected by signals from other systems, thereby improving calibration efficiency and reducing the possibility of errors.

[0013] Various non-limiting embodiments of examples of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in Figure 1, some embodiments provide a method for associating a panel control for a calibration signal. The method includes: In step S101, a mapping system variable corresponding to each calibration signal is created. In step S102, a mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal that needs to be displayed and / or modified is selected, and at least one panel control is set to be associated with the selected mapping system variable, so that the value of the mapping system variable is displayed on the panel control and / or the value of the mapping system variable can be modified on the panel control. In step S103, if the calibration signal changes, the value of the corresponding mapping system variable changes, and if the value of the mapping system variable changes, the values ​​displayed on all associated panel controls change accordingly.

[0014] In some embodiments, each calibration signal is located in a calibration system, and said calibration signals are implemented in the calibration system using a panel control correlation method.

[0015] In some embodiments, a selected mapping system variable is configured to associate at least one read / write type panel control for modification and at least one monitor type panel control for display.

[0016] Specifically, a read / write type panel control is one that can display the value of the mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal and can also be used to modify the value of the mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal, while a monitor type panel control is one that can only display the value of the mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal.

[0017] In some embodiments, the panel control correlation method described above can be used in calibration systems for automotive, aerospace, and marine applications.

[0018] In some embodiments, modifying the value displayed on one of the read / write panel controls triggers a change in the calibration signal.

[0019] The following describes in detail, for an automobile example, the steps of triggering a change in the calibration signal by modifying the value displayed on one of the read-write panel controls. As shown in FIG. 2, a mapping system variable ECU1.Factor is created corresponding to the calibration signal Factor of the wheel speed sensor, and an input / output box control is created in the panel related to the mapping system variable ECU1.Factor. Assume that the initial value displayed by the input / output box control is 3. Now, we need to change the value of the ECU1.Factor calibration signal to 5. As shown in Figure 3, we manually change the displayed value 3 in the edit box to 5 and press the Enter key to trigger the change of the calibration signal Factor.

[0020] In another embodiment, triggering a change in the calibration signal by modifying the value displayed on one of the read / write panel controls includes: Associate an assignment function with one asynchronous function, which is a write function of the mapping system variable associated with the panel control whose display value should be modified; When modifying the value displayed on the panel control, the asynchronous function returns immediately after sending the write and read commands to the calibration system, completing the call to the asynchronous function.

[0021] The calibration system refreshes the last stored values ​​of the mapping system variables to the pending-modification display values ​​after the simultaneous successful execution of the write and read commands.

[0022] An example of triggering a change in the calibration signal by modifying the value displayed on one of the panel controls will now be described in detail in the context of an automobile. In the calibration of the automobile ABS system, it is assumed that the front wheel radius value pre-stored in the automobile ABS system is 0.298 meters, and the value that needs to be written to the calibration signal WheelRadius_HA by the panel control is 0.336, which sets the front wheel radius to 0.336 meters.

[0023] First, create a mapping system variable named "WheelRadius_HA" corresponding to the front axle wheel radius calibration signal WheelRadius_HA in the calibration system. The user designs a panel and associates an I / O box control with this mapping system variable "WheelRadius_HA", so that the user can modify the value of the front axle wheel radius calibration signal WheelRadius_HA at any time during calibration using the I / O box control.

[0024] Next, when the user starts the test, the calibration system is connected to the ABS system through the bus adapter, and the assignment function of the mapping system variable "WheelRadius_HA" is associated with an asynchronous function "set_sys_var_async", which calls the API function of the calibration system to perform the write and read operations on the front axle wheel radius calibration signal.

[0025] When the user inputs the value 0.336 into the input / output box control and presses the Enter key, the calibration system calls the asynchronous function "set_sys_var_async" and inputs the target value "0.336" as a parameter. The asynchronous function initiates the following requests to the calibration system in an asynchronous manner: (1) A request to write the calibration signal “WheelRadius_HA”, where the required accompanying parameter is a write value of 0.336, and the above calibration signal is realized by transmitting the write value generated by the panel control association method to the debugging device via the bus adapter. (2) A request to read the calibration signal "WheelRadius_HA". After the calibration system initiates the request, it does not need to wait for the result of the request and can immediately return from the asynchronous function "set_sys_var_async". The calibration system writes the calibration signal "WheelRadius_HA" and reads the calibration signal "WheelRadius_HA" in sequence in the background. If the calibration signal is successfully written to the ABS system and subsequently read into the mapping system variable "WheelRadius_HA" by the calibration system, the I / O box control will then immediately display the value of the mapping system variable "WheelRadius_HA". If the write is successful, the I / O box control will display "0.336". If the write is unsuccessful, this means that the value of the corresponding mapping system variable is not changed and remains at its initial state of 0.298, and the I / O box control will display "0.298".

[0026] In some embodiments, the operating environment of the vehicle ECU triggers a change in the calibration signal. In the following, the triggering of the change in the calibration signal by the operating environment of the vehicle ECU will be described in detail in the case of an automobile. In an automobile ABS system, the pump motor current PCurr is an observable calibration signal used by the calibration system. When the ABS system is not operating, the current value is 0. When the ABS system is operating, the pump motor starts, and the value of the observable calibration signal "PCurr" read by the calibration system at this time is the real-time current value of the pump motor, for example, 8.3 A. If the current value changes, the value of the observable calibration signal "PCurr" read by the calibration system will also change accordingly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the method for associating at least one panel control with a selected mapping system variable includes: Each entry in a notification list is linked to a corresponding panel control by setting each mapping system variable to associate it with one notification list. When the value of a mapping system variable changes, the steps of correspondingly changing the values ​​displayed in all its associated panel controls include: When the value of the mapping system variable changes, it notifies the engine to invoke the notification list, and sends a change notification to each entry in the notification list, and the corresponding panel control updates its displayed value based on the change notification.

[0028] The following describes in detail a method for associating at least one panel control with a selected mapping system variable in an automobile example. One interface can include display-type controls and write-type controls. The process of setting a signal and the process of observing the signal after it has been set can be completed in the same interface, improving calibration efficiency and reducing the occurrence of observation or correction errors caused by switching interfaces. The specific steps are as follows: When calibrating the automobile ECU1, first, a mapping system variable "ECU1.Factor" corresponding to the calibration signal Factor of the wheel speed sensor is created.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, a text box control is added to the panel, which is associated with the mapping system variable "ECU1.Factor" to display its real-time value; an input / output box control is added to the panel, which is also associated with the mapping system variable "ECU1.Factor" to manually modify its value; and an indicator light control is added to the panel, which is associated with the mapping system variable "Application.Connected" to indicate whether the application program is connected.

[0030] In this case, a total of two mapping system variables are associated with panel controls, and the mapping system variable "ECU1.Factor" is associated with two panel controls, namely, a text box control and an I / O box control. The mapping system variable is associated with a notification list, which contains two entries, the first of which is linked to the text box control and the second of which is linked to the I / O box control. The mapping system variable "Application.Connected" is associated with one panel control, which is an indicator light control. The mapping system variable is also associated with a notification list, which contains only one entry, the first of which is linked to the indicator light control.

[0031] After the user connects to the application program, the value of the mapping system variable “Application.Connected” changes from 0 to 1, triggering the notification engine to call the notification list of the mapping system variable and update the value displayed in the panel control in the notification list, i.e., the indicator light in the notification list is turned on.

[0032] Assume that after the user starts the calibration system, the mapping system variable “ECU1.Factor” is successfully connected and refreshed to the initial value 5 of the calibration signal corresponding to ECU1, at which point the notification engine is triggered to update the value displayed in the text box control and the value displayed in the input / output box control in the notification list of the mapping system variable, so that both display the number 5.

[0033] After the user changes the value from 5 to 10 in the input / output box control on the panel, the value of the corresponding mapping system variable “ECU1.Factor” is also changed to 10 according to the above method. At this time, the notification engine is triggered to update the value displayed in the text box control in the notification list of the mapping system variable and the value displayed in the input / output box control, so that both display the value 10.

[0034] In some embodiments, the panel controls include monitor-type controls and read / write-type controls. Specifically, monitoring-type controls include, but are not limited to, text box controls, progress bar controls, indicator light controls, meter controls, graphic controls, pie chart controls, and relationship diagram controls.

[0035] As shown in Figure 5, a text box control can display the real-time value of the calibration signal.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 6, the progress bar control can display the signal magnitude in real time in the form of a progress bar.

[0037] As shown in Figure 7, the indicator light control can display two signal value states by flashing the indicator light.

[0038] As shown in Figure 8, the meter control can display the real-time value of the signal in the form of a dial pointer.

[0039] As shown in Figure 9, the graphic control can display the real-time change curves of one or more signals.

[0040] As shown in Figure 10, a pie chart control can display the correlation between the magnitudes of two signals.

[0041] As shown in Figure 11, the relationship graph control can display a relationship curve between the values ​​of two signals.

[0042] Specifically, read / write controls include, but are not limited to, the following: pass button control, check box control, slide bar control, scroll bar control, input / output box control, image button control, selector control, button control, radio box control, switch control, and multi-line text control.

[0043] The pass button control shown in Figure 12 can display the state of two preset values ​​of the signal with two different colors. When the user clicks on the control with the left button, the calibration signal value can be changed to the first preset value. When the user clicks on the control with the right button, the calibration signal value can be changed to the second preset value.

[0044] The checkbox control shown in Figure 13 can indicate the state of two preset values ​​of a signal by checking or unchecking it. When a user checks the control, the calibration signal value can be changed to the first preset value. When a user unchecks the control, the calibration signal value can be changed to the second preset value.

[0045] The slide bar control shown in Figure 14 can update the position of the slide bar to indicate the state of the signal in one section. When the user drags the position of the slide bar, the value of the calibration signal is corrected in real time to the value corresponding to the slide bar.

[0046] The scroll bar control shown in Figure 15 can update the position of the scroll bar to display the state of the signal in one section. When the user drags the position of the scroll bar, the value of the calibration signal is corrected in real time to the value corresponding to the scroll bar.

[0047] The input / output box control shown in Fig. 16 can display the signal value in text format. When the user modifies the numerical value in the text box and presses the Enter key, the value of the calibration signal is modified to the user-set value.

[0048] The image button control shown in Figure 17 can display a set of consecutive integer preset values ​​of a signal in a picture-switching manner. When the user clicks on the control with the left button, the preset value increases up to the maximum preset value and simultaneously updates the value of the calibration signal. When the user clicks on the control with the right button, the preset value decreases down to 0 and simultaneously updates the value of the calibration signal.

[0049] The selector control shown in Figure 18 can display a set of preset values ​​for a signal in the form of list entry switching. When the user selects an entry from the list, the value of the calibration signal is set to the preset value corresponding to that entry.

[0050] The button control shown in FIG. 19 allows the user to click the button to set the value of the calibration signal to the button preset value.

[0051] The radio box control shown in Figure 20 can be displayed in a selected state if the value of the calibration signal is equal to the preset value of the radio box, and in a non-selected state otherwise. When the user selects the radio box, the value of the calibration signal can be set to the preset value of the radio box.

[0052] The switch control shown in Figure 21 can display two preset values ​​of the calibration signal in two display modes: on and off. When the user switches the switch state, the corresponding preset value can be used to set the value of the calibration signal.

[0053] The multi-line text control shown in Figure 22 is used exclusively to display a character string type proofreading signal. When a user modifies a character string in a multi-line text, the value of the character string type proofreading signal is set at the same time.

[0054] Some embodiments further provide a system for associating a panel control for calibration signals, as shown in Figure 23. The system includes at least one bus adapter and at least one computer device. The bus adapter is configured to read a calibration signal from the debug facility. The computer device includes a processor, a display in communication with the processor for displaying the panel setting interface, a computer-readable storage medium, a communication bus, and a communication interface. The processor, the computer-readable storage medium, and the communication interface realize communication with the bus adapter via the communication bus and read the calibration signal from the debug device. The computer-readable storage medium stores a command program. After reading the calibration signals, the processor is configured to execute the commands to cause the processor to perform the following operations: create a corresponding mapping system variable for each calibration signal; select a mapping system variable corresponding to the calibration signal that needs to be displayed and / or modified, and associate at least one panel control with the selected mapping system variable so that the value of the mapping system variable is displayed on the panel control and / or can be modified on the panel control; when the calibration signal changes, the value of the corresponding mapping system variable changes; and when the value of the mapping system variable changes, correspondingly change the values ​​displayed on all associated panel controls. The display is configured to display at least one panel control and a value displayed in the panel control via a panel setting interface.

[0055] 24, some embodiments further provide a system for associating panel controls for configuration signals, the system including a computer device, the computer device configured to include a mapping system variable creation module, an association module, and a refresh module. The mapping system variable creation module is configured to create a corresponding mapping system variable for each of the component signals. The association module is configured to select a mapping system variable corresponding to a calibration signal that needs to be displayed and / or modified, and associate the selected mapping system variable with at least one panel control so that the value of the mapping system variable can be displayed on the panel control or the value of the mapping system variable can be modified on the panel control. The refresh module is configured to change the value of the corresponding mapping system variable when the calibration signal changes, and to correspondingly change the values ​​displayed on all associated panel controls when the value of the mapping system variable changes. The computer commands corresponding to the specific implementation functions of the variable creation module, the association module and the refresh module of the mapping system are stored in a computer-readable storage medium and implemented in a computer device. For details, please refer to the content of the association method for the panel control for calibration signals above, and the description will be omitted here.
