[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] The present disclosure will be described in further detail below based on the attached drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the invention. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the drawings.

[0015] The embodiments and features of the embodiments of this disclosure can be combined with each other, as long as they do not contradict each other. Unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the context, the number of elements may be one or more, unless otherwise specifically indicated. Furthermore, the step or function module numbers used in this disclosure are used solely for the identification of each step or function module and do not restrict the execution order of each step or the connectivity between each function module.

[0016] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, when terms such as "First," "Second," etc. are used to describe various elements, there is no intention to restrict the spatial, chronological, or importance relationships of these elements; they are simply used to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, the First and Second elements may refer to the same instance of that element, or, depending on the context, may refer to different instances.

[0017] In this disclosure, the terms used in describing various embodiments are for the purpose of describing specific examples only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless otherwise expressly indicated by the context, the number of elements may be one or more, unless otherwise expressly indicated by the context.

[0018] As mentioned above, when passengers board a vehicle with personal belongings, they may face certain difficulties, especially when space inside the vehicle is limited.

[0019] To mitigate this situation, at least partially, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a control method for a vehicle. Figure 1 shows a schematic flowchart of a vehicle control method 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the control method 10 may include the following:

[0020] In S100, in response to receiving a first signal indicating that a first body part of the occupant is within a predetermined range of a first component of the vehicle, an image of the occupant outside the vehicle is acquired.

[0021] In S200, based on the acquired image, it is determined whether the passenger is carrying a carry-on item.

[0022] In S300, in response to the passenger carrying a carry-on item, the target seat for the passenger's intended seating is adjusted.

[0023] According to the vehicle control method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by detecting whether a passenger is carrying an item when boarding the vehicle during the boarding preparation of the passenger, it is possible to determine whether to adjust the target seat for the passenger's intended seating. Thereby, even when the passenger is carrying a carry-on item, the passenger can comfortably enter the vehicle and take a seat.

[0024] In some embodiments, it may be determined that the passenger of the vehicle is in the process of boarding preparation based on the received first signal. This first signal is a sensing signal generated by a sensor provided near a first member of the vehicle, and may indicate that a first body part of the passenger has entered within a predetermined range. This sensor may be, for example, a capacitive sensor, an inductive sensor, a magnetic sensor, a photoelectric sensor, or an infrared sensor. The first member of the vehicle may be a vehicle body member of the vehicle, such as a door handle or a window of the vehicle, and the first body part of the passenger may be, for example, the hand of the passenger. The selection of the first member of the vehicle and the first body part of the passenger can be determined according to the actual situation, and no limitation is provided here. Taking an example where a capacitive sensor is provided on the door handle of the vehicle, since the touch operation can be identified by detecting the change in the capacitance of the electrode plate, it can be used to detect that the hand of the passenger has contacted the door handle. In some embodiments, a photoelectric sensor such as a photoelectric proximity sensor can also be used. In this case, when the hand of the passenger approaches the door handle (for example, when entering within a predetermined range when trying to open the door), the photoelectric proximity sensor can generate an electrical signal indicating the approaching operation of the hand of the passenger.

[0025] Figure 2 shows a schematic flowchart of a vehicle control method 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, determining whether or not an occupant is carrying an object based on the acquired image (step S200) may include the following:

[0026] In S220, based on the acquired image, it is determined whether the crew member possesses carry-on features, including the contour features of the carry-on item.

[0027] In S240, in response to the presence of an object contour feature in the crew member, it is determined that the crew member is carrying an object.

[0028] In some embodiments, after receiving the first signal, an image of the occupant may be acquired by a camera positioned in the vehicle's side mirror or door. The camera used to acquire the occupant's image may have high resolution and a wide dynamic range. This makes it possible to identify the occupant and their belongings even under different lighting conditions.

[0029] In some embodiments, after acquiring an image of the occupant, it may first be detected whether the occupant has any carried items. In embodiments of this disclosure, carried items may include shopping bags, travel bags, backpacks, handbags, pet carriers, etc., that an occupant might bring into the vehicle. In some embodiments, carried item features refer to features for identifying and specifying items that an occupant brings into the vehicle, such as carried item contour features. In some embodiments, image recognition techniques such as machine learning algorithms or computer vision techniques may be used to detect and analyze whether an occupant is carrying an item with a shape or contour, such as a shopping bag, backpack, handbag, or pet carrier, thereby determining whether the occupant has any carried items.

[0030] After determining that the occupant is carrying personal belongings, and continuing to refer to Figure 2, in some embodiments, adjusting the target seat where the occupant is scheduled to sit (step S300) may include the following:

[0031] In S320, the size of the carried item is determined based on the contour features of the carried item.

[0032] In S340, it is decided to perform at least one of the following adjustments on the target seat based on the size of the item being carried: moving the target seat along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by a first longitudinal adjustment value, moving the target seat along the height direction of the vehicle by a first height adjustment value, and tilting the backrest of the target seat by a first adjustment angle.

[0033] In some embodiments, after determining whether an occupant is carrying an item based on the contour features of the item, the size of the item, such as its length, width, and height, may be further specified. Based on the size of the item, at least one of the following adjustments may be made to the target seat where the occupant is to be seated: moving the target seat along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (i.e., front-to-back direction) by a first longitudinal adjustment value to provide the occupant with more legroom, so that the occupant can more easily store the item in the vehicle or adjust the position of the item within the vehicle; moving the target seat along the height direction of the vehicle (i.e., up and down direction) by a first height adjustment value to accommodate the additional height of the item, so that the occupant can provide an appropriate seat height; and tilting the backrest of the target seat by a first adjustment angle, for example, tilting the backrest of the seat backward, to provide the occupant with more space to store the item and to maintain a comfortable seating position. It should be understood that the first vertical adjustment value, the first height adjustment value, and the first adjustment angle can be determined based on the size of the carried item using image recognition technology. For example, in the case of a crew member carrying a climbing bag, travel bag, or pet carrier, the adjustment values ​​and adjustment angles can be set to be larger, taking into account the larger volume of these items.

[0034] Figure 3 shows a schematic flowchart of a vehicle control method 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. After adjusting the target seat where the occupants are scheduled to sit, method 10 may further include the following:

[0035] In S400, at least one of the following is determined based on the size of the carried items: the first opening / closing angle of the vehicle door, the first opening / closing force of the vehicle door, and the first opening / closing speed of the vehicle door.

[0036] In some embodiments, in addition to adjusting the vehicle seats, the first opening and closing angle of the vehicle doors may be determined based on the size of the items being carried. For example, if an occupant is carrying a climbing bag, travel bag, or pet carrier, the opening and closing angle of the doors may be set to be larger to facilitate entry and exit for the occupant and improve convenience. In some embodiments, the opening and closing force and speed of the doors may also be determined based on the size of the items being carried. This improves the smoothness of the door opening process and provides sufficient force to mitigate the effects of the additional weight and resistance of the items being carried.

[0037] Figure 4 shows a schematic flowchart of a vehicle control method 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0038] In some embodiments, the occupant's personal belongings may specifically be the occupant's bag. In this case, determining whether the occupant is carrying personal belongings based on the acquired image (step S200) may include determining whether the occupant is carrying a bag on their back based on the acquired image (S210). Furthermore, adjusting the target seat where the occupant is scheduled to sit in response to the occupant carrying personal belongings (step S300) may include adjusting the target seat where the occupant is scheduled to sit in response to the occupant being carrying a bag on their back (S310).

[0039] Unlike items that occupants typically carry by hand, such as shopping bags, bags are usually carried on the back or slung over the shoulder. Therefore, in some embodiments, determining whether an occupant is carrying a bag based on the acquired image (step S210) may include the following: In S212, it is determined, based on the acquired image, whether the occupant has a first bag feature that includes a bag contour feature. In response to the occupant not having the first bag feature, the step proceeds to S214, where it is determined that the occupant does not have the first bag feature.

[0040] Next, the process proceeds to step S216, where it is determined whether the occupant has a second bag feature, which includes the structural features of a shoulder strap. Then, in S218, in response to the determination that the occupant has the second bag feature, it is determined that the occupant is carrying a bag.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first bag feature may be a bag contour feature in the occupant's back region. In some embodiments, image recognition techniques such as machine learning algorithms or computer vision techniques may be used to detect and analyze whether or not an object with the shape of a bag or the contour of a bag exists in the occupant's back region, thereby determining whether or not a bag is being carried on the occupant's back.

[0042] The embodiment shown in Figure 4 differs from the embodiment shown in Figure 2 in that, for example, if the volume of the occupant's bag is small and its contour features are unclear, or if the camera is unable to capture an image of the occupant's back area, it may not be possible to detect whether or not the occupant is carrying a bag using the first bag feature. According to some embodiments of this disclosure, in these cases, the occupant may be considered not to have the first bag feature.

[0043] After determining that the occupant does not possess the first bag features, the process proceeds to step S216, where it is determined whether the occupant possesses the second bag features. The second bag features may be the structural features of the shoulder straps in the occupant's chest and shoulder regions. In some embodiments, image recognition techniques such as machine learning algorithms or computer vision techniques may be used to detect and analyze whether the shape and structure of the bag's shoulder straps are present in the occupant's chest or shoulder region, thereby determining whether the occupant is carrying a bag.

[0044] Continuing to refer to Figure 4, after determining that the occupant is carrying a bag based on the second bag feature, adjusting the target seat where the occupant is scheduled to sit (step S310) may include the following:

[0045] In S312, it is decided to perform at least one of the following adjustments on the target seat: moving the target seat by a second predetermined value in the longitudinal direction along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, moving the target seat by a second predetermined value in the height direction along the height direction of the vehicle, and tilting the backrest of the target seat by a second predetermined angle.

[0046] The embodiment shown in Figure 4 differs from the embodiment shown in Figure 2 in the following respects: Since the size of the carried item (e.g., a bag) cannot be determined from its contour features, if it is determined that the occupant is carrying a bag based on the second bag features, the target seat adjustment may be to a predetermined value, namely a second longitudinal predetermined value along the vehicle's longitudinal direction, a second height predetermined value along the vehicle's height direction, or a second predetermined angle. This provides the occupant with additional space to accommodate the bag and reduces the burden of seat adjustment, even when the size of the bag cannot be determined.

[0047] In some embodiments, if the size of the bag cannot be determined, the door opening angle may be set to a second predetermined opening angle, the door opening force to a second predetermined opening force, or the door opening speed to a second predetermined opening speed. This can improve the passenger's riding experience.

[0048] In some cases, when adjusting the target seat where a occupant is scheduled to sit, further consideration may be given to whether or not another occupant is seated in a seat adjacent to the target seat. If another occupant is seated, each adjustment amount or each predetermined adjustment amount of the target seat may be changed (e.g., reduced) according to the relative position between the target seat and the seat where the other occupant is seated. This can improve the comfort of occupants carrying items (e.g., bags) while reducing the impact on other occupants.
