[0054] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts in the drawings or descriptions are numbered the same. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used solely to distinguish descriptions and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0055] First embodiment

[0056] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a control system 10 that may include a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program that, when executed by the processor, enables the control system 10 to perform the corresponding steps of the following intelligent cockpit control method.

[0057] In this embodiment, the control system 10 may further include a target seat and a corresponding rear seat. The target seat may be at least one of the driver's seat and the passenger seat 100. The corresponding rear seat may be understood as the second-row seat on the same side as the target seat. For example, if the passenger seat 100 is located on the right side of the vehicle's intelligent cockpit, the corresponding rear seat 200 is the right seat in the second row of the intelligent cockpit, rather than the left seat.

[0058] The floor of the smart cockpit is provided with slide rails and motors along the length direction of the smart cockpit. The target seat and at least one of the rear seats can be slidably arranged on the slide rails, and the motor is used to drive the seat arranged on the slide rails to slide.

[0059] For example, referring to Figures 2, 3, and 4, the smart cockpit is provided with a first slide rail 101 and a second slide rail 201. The passenger seat 100 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 101, and the rear seat 200 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 201. In the smart cockpit, both the passenger seat 100 and the driver's seat can be driven by corresponding motors to slide on their respective slide rails, thereby adjusting the distance between the passenger seat 100 and the rear seat 200.

[0060] The target seat includes an electrically controlled adjustment component for adjusting at least one of a backrest angle, a seat cushion height, a seat cushion inclination, a leg rest length, and a leg rest angle.

[0061] The electrically controlled adjustment components may be, but are not limited to, electric motors, electric cylinders, etc. For example, the passenger seat 100 may be provided with a backrest motor for adjusting the backrest angle, a lift motor for adjusting the seat cushion height, a motor for adjusting the seat cushion tilt angle, a motor for adjusting the leg rest length, a motor for adjusting the leg rest angle, etc.

[0062] The control system 10 may also include a central controller, seat controllers, control buttons, a voice interaction module, pressure sensors, cameras, and radar modules. The cameras and radar modules serve as acquisition modules, capturing the interior environment of the smart cockpit to generate an environmental dataset. The voice interaction module collects user voice information, and pressure sensors, located on corresponding seat cushions, collect pressure data from the corresponding seats to detect whether the seats are occupied. The central controller performs comprehensive analysis of pressure data, voice information, environmental datasets, and other data.

[0063] The central controller can send control commands to the seat controllers, instructing them to control the motors to adjust the seat's position on the rails. The seat controllers can also control the electronically controlled adjustment components to perform corresponding actions to switch the seat to zero-gravity mode or return to normal mode. The control button is used to switch the seat to zero-gravity mode.

[0064] In this embodiment, the processor and the memory may be integrated into one, for example, into a programmable control module. The programmable control module may include a judgment unit, a driver-side control unit, a passenger-side control unit, an environment control unit, and a scene setting unit.

[0065] The judgment unit can be used to execute step 430 below; the driver-side control unit can execute steps 441 and 442 below when the target seat is the driver's seat; the passenger-side control unit can execute steps 441 and 442 below when the target seat is passenger seat 100; the scene setting unit can be used to execute step 450 below; and the environment control unit can be used to execute step 460 below. It is understood that the programmable control module can be used to implement the corresponding steps in the following method, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] The central control display, voice interaction module and control buttons can communicate with each other through the gateway and the programmable control module. The central control display, voice interaction module and control buttons can communicate with the gateway via WiFi or Ethernet, and the gateway and the programmable control module can be connected via Ethernet.

[0067] In the smart cockpit, the driver's seat and the corresponding rear seats can also be equipped with the same slide rails and motors as the passenger seat 100 and rear seats 200. The driver's seat can have the same functions as the passenger seat 100, such as the same electronically controlled adjustment components as the passenger seat 100. The structure and functions of the driver's seat are not further described here.

[0068] Referring again to Figure 4 , a connecting plate 300 and a footrest 301 can be installed inside the passenger seat 100. However, these are not required on the driver's seat. The connecting plate 300 and footrest 301 can be deployed when the passenger seat 100 enters zero-gravity mode, as shown in Figure 4 . When the passenger seat 100 returns to normal mode, the connecting plate 300 and footrest 301 are retracted. The deployed position of the connecting plate 300 and footrest 301 can be adjusted by an electric cylinder or motor under the control of the seat controller.

[0069] It is understood that the control system 10 structure shown in Figure 1 is only a schematic diagram, and the control system 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in Figure 1. Each component shown in Figure 1 may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof.

[0070] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can clearly understand that for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the control system 10 described above can refer to the corresponding processes of each step in the following method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0071] Second embodiment

[0072] 5 , the present application also provides a smart cockpit control method, which can be applied to the control system 10 described above, and the control system 10 executes or implements each step of the method. The smart cockpit control method may include the following steps:

[0073] Step 410: receiving a control instruction for converting a target seat in the smart cockpit to a zero-gravity seat mode, wherein the target seat includes at least one of a driver's seat and a passenger seat;

[0074] Step 420: Based on the control instruction, obtain driving status information of the vehicle in which the smart cockpit is located, an environmental data set obtained by collecting the internal environment of the smart cockpit by a collection module in the smart cockpit, and current usage status information of the rear seat associated with the target seat;

[0075] Step 430 , judging whether a conversion condition corresponding to the target seat is satisfied based on the driving state information, the environmental data set, and the current usage state information;

[0076] Step 440, based on the result of the judgment, the target seat and / or the rear seat are controlled, wherein when the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is not in a parking state or the conversion condition is not met, the position adjustment of the target seat and the rear seat is stopped.

[0077] The following is a detailed description of the steps of the intelligent cockpit control method:

[0078] In step 410, the triggering and generating of the control instruction can be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, step 410 can include:

[0079] receiving a user's voice information, and generating the control instruction when the voice information includes preset information for converting the target seat in the smart cockpit to the zero-gravity seat mode;

[0080] and / or, receiving the control instruction input by the user through the central control display screen;

[0081] And / or, receiving the control instruction generated by the user by triggering a control button in the smart cockpit, where the control button is a switch button for switching the zero-gravity seat mode.

[0082] It is understandable that the preset information can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, in actual applications, after the user says a sentence including "co-pilot enters zero gravity", a control instruction can be automatically generated.

[0083] Of course, users can also use the central control display screen to input the target seat that they want to enter zero-gravity seat mode by touch operation. At this time, the central control display screen will generate control instructions.

[0084] In addition, control buttons for entering zero-gravity seat mode can be set on the driver's seat and the passenger seat. Users can trigger the generation of control instructions by pressing the control buttons.

[0085] In this embodiment, the user can flexibly trigger the switching operation to enter the zero-gravity chair mode in a variety of ways. In this way, the triggering methods of the zero-gravity chair mode can be enriched, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0086] In this embodiment, step 420 may include:

[0087] Based on the control instruction, obtaining the driving status information from the instrument panel of the vehicle;

[0088] and obtaining, from a camera in the acquisition module, an environmental video of the interior environment of the smart cockpit captured by the camera;

[0089] and obtaining radar data obtained by collecting the internal environment of the smart cockpit from a radar module in the acquisition module, and using the environment video and the radar data as the environment data set;

[0090] Furthermore, pressure data collected by the pressure sensor on the rear seat is obtained as the current usage status information, wherein when the pressure data exceeds a preset pressure threshold, it indicates that there is a user sitting in the rear seat.

[0091] In this embodiment, the driving state information may include but is not limited to the vehicle speed, driving state, etc. The driving state may include a parking state, a driving state, etc. The collection and acquisition methods of the driving state information are conventional and will not be described in detail here.

[0092] In this embodiment, one or more cameras may be provided in the smart cockpit, wherein the multiple cameras may capture the internal environment of the smart cockpit from multiple different angles to obtain environmental videos, which is helpful in reducing shooting blind spots.

[0093] Similarly, one or more radar modules can be provided, and the radar modules can be lidars. Multiple radar modules can collect laser point clouds of the interior environment of the smart cockpit from multiple different angles to detect whether there are obstacles in the transition space between the target seat and the rear seats.

[0094] In this embodiment, the conversion space refers to the movable space of the target seat and the movable space of the rear seats when adjusting the position and posture of the target seat. If there are obstacles in the conversion space, it will affect the movement of the target seat / rear seats, thereby affecting the reliability and safety of the conversion.

[0095] The conversion space can be pre-defined by engineers based on the actual available space. For example, once the driver's seat, passenger seat, and rear seats are installed, the corresponding conversion space is typically a fixed-size space within the cabin.

[0096] Based on the camera's video of the interior of the smart cockpit, the central controller detects whether there are any obstacles in the cabin's transition space. For example, if there are objects such as the user's body parts or a backpack in the transition space, it indicates that there is an obstacle. If there are no objects in the transition space other than the target seat or rear seats, it indicates that there are no obstacles in the transition space.

[0097] Similarly, the central controller can determine whether there are any obstructions in the conversion space based on the laser point cloud data collected by the radar module. If there are obstructions other than the target seat / rear seat in the conversion space, it means that there is an obstacle in the conversion space; if there are no objects other than the target seat / rear seat in the conversion space, it means that there are no obstacles in the conversion space.

[0098] In this embodiment, each rear seat is equipped with a pressure sensor. When the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor exceeds a preset pressure threshold, it indicates that a user is sitting in the rear seat (see Figure 2). If the pressure data does not exceed the preset threshold, it is assumed that the rear seat is unoccupied (see Figure 3). In this way, the central controller can detect the usage status of each rear seat based on the pressure data. The preset pressure threshold (e.g., 10 kg) can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0099] In step 430, the environmental dataset may include radar data collected by the radar module and cabin environment video captured by the camera. The control system can perform safety checks on the zero-gravity seat mode transition based on multiple dimensions, such as the vehicle's driving status, cabin environment, and rear seat usage, thereby improving the safety of the control mode transition operation.

[0100] As an optional implementation, step 430 may include:

[0101] When the driving state information indicates that the vehicle is not in the parking state, determining that a result indicating that the transition condition is not satisfied;

[0102] When the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is in the parking state, the environmental data set indicates that there are obstacles in the conversion space for adjusting the position of the target seat and / or the rear seat, or the current usage status information indicates that a user is sitting in the rear seat, it is determined that the conversion condition is not met.

[0103] Understandably, in order to improve the safety of the zero-gravity seat mode switching operation, if the vehicle is in driving state but not in parked state, the central control display can pop up a box to remind the user "Do not adjust the zero-gravity seat while the vehicle is driving to avoid accidental injury" and broadcast it in voice simultaneously; at this time, the target seat (such as the driver's seat or the passenger seat) cannot be adjusted, and the control button of the zero-gravity seat is in the off state.

[0104] If the vehicle is parked, further testing of the environmental dataset and rear seat usage information is required. If the environmental dataset indicates an obstacle within the transition space, or if a user is seated behind the target seat, transitioning to zero-gravity mode presents a safety hazard and the transition conditions are not met. The detection method can be found in the aforementioned central controller's analysis and processing of environmental video, laser point cloud data, and pressure data, and will not be detailed here.

[0105] As an example, if an obstacle is detected in the conversion space, or there is a user sitting in the back seat, a pop-up box may pop up on the central control display: "A person or object has been detected behind the driver / passenger seat, exiting zero gravity mode", and a voice broadcast will be made simultaneously. After a 5-second countdown, the pop-up box will be exited, the seat will not be adjusted, and the zero-gravity control button will be in the off state.

[0106] As an optional implementation, step 430 may include:

[0107] When the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is in the parking state, and the environmental data set indicates that there are no obstacles in the conversion space for adjusting the position of the target seat and the rear seat, and the current usage status information indicates that there is no user sitting in the rear seat, it is determined that the result indicates that the conversion condition is met.

[0108] If the vehicle is parked, the environmental dataset indicates that there are no obstacles in the transition space, and no user is sitting in the rear seat of the target seat, then the transition environment is safe and the transition to zero-gravity seat mode can be performed, thus satisfying the transition conditions.

[0109] As an example, if it is detected that there are no people or other obstacles in the conversion space and the vehicle is in the parking state, a pop-up box may be popped up on the central control display screen: "Do not enter the rear seat while the passenger seat is being adjusted" and last for 5 seconds, and a voice broadcast is performed synchronously, and step 441 is entered to adjust the target seat position.

[0110] Step 440 may include:

[0111] Step 441: When the result indicates that the transition condition is satisfied, control parameters are determined based on the current separation distance in the environmental data set, the current position and posture of the target seat, and pre-stored target separation distance and target posture, wherein the target separation distance is the minimum separation distance between the target seat and the rear seat in the zero-gravity seat mode, and the target posture is the posture of the target seat in the zero-gravity seat mode.

[0112] Step 442: Based on the control parameters, adjust the position of the target seat and / or the rear seat so that the distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target distance, and convert the current position of the target seat into the target position.

[0113] In this embodiment, step 442 may include:

[0114] Adjusting the position of the target seat and / or the rear seat based on the control parameter so that the distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target distance, and converting the current position of the target seat into the target position, including:

[0115] If the current separation distance is greater than or equal to the target separation distance, adjusting at least one of a backrest angle, a seat cushion height, a seat cushion inclination, a leg rest length, and a leg rest angle of the target seat to convert the current posture of the target seat into the target posture;

[0116] If the current interval distance is less than the target interval distance, the motor is controlled to drive the at least one seat to slide on the slide rail so that the interval distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target interval distance, and at least one of the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length and leg rest angle of the target seat is adjusted to convert the current posture of the target seat into the target posture.

[0117] Understandably, in step 441, the control system pre-stores various parameters of the target seat in the target position, such as backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the minimum distance between the target seat and the rear seats. The central controller / seat controller can derive control parameters based on the difference between the various parameters of the target seat in the current position and the various parameters in the target position. The control parameters may include at least one of the target seat's backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the deployed position of the connecting plate and footrest, as well as the sliding distance of the target seat on the rails and the sliding distance of the rear seats on the rails.

[0118] In step 442, the seat controller can directly adjust the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the deployed position of the connecting plate and footrest of the target seat through the electronically controlled adjustment component based on the control parameters, and drive the target seat and the rear seat to slide on the corresponding slide rails through the motor to adjust the distance between them. After adjustment, the current posture of the target seat can be converted to the target posture. In addition, the distance between the target seat and the rear seat satisfies the condition of being greater than or equal to the target distance. The target distance can be flexibly set according to actual conditions to avoid collision between the target seat and the rear seat during mode conversion.

[0119] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0120] Step 450, based on the received change instruction, modify and store the configuration parameters of the target posture of the designated seat in the zero-gravity seat mode, the designated seat includes at least one of the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and the configuration parameters include at least one of the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length and leg rest angle of the designated seat.

[0121] Understandably, users can modify the default target posture of the driver's seat / passenger seat in Zero Gravity Seat Mode based on their own usage habits. This allows for personalized settings for individual users to enhance the user experience. For example, one or more parameters of the passenger seat in Zero Gravity Seat Mode can be modified: backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion inclination, leg rest length, and leg rest angle. Once the target posture modification is completed, the passenger seat will be converted to the modified target posture the next time it enters Zero Gravity Seat Mode.

[0122] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0123] Step 460, when the result indicates that the conversion condition is met, the electronic components associated with the zero-gravity seat mode on the vehicle are controlled to be in a specified state corresponding to the zero-gravity seat mode, and the electronic components include at least one of ambient lights, air conditioners, fragrance machines, sunroofs, sunshade systems, and car audio systems.

[0124] Understandably, the ambient lighting, air conditioning, fragrance machine, sunroof, sunshade system, and car audio are environmental functional units within the vehicle, and are associated with the zero-gravity seat mode. Once the zero-gravity seat mode is triggered, the environmental control unit can control the use of the ambient lighting, air conditioning, fragrance machine, sunroof and / or sunshade system, speakers, and / or headrest audio within the vehicle, such as turning on the speakers, turning on the ambient lighting, and opening or closing the sunroof. In this way, in zero-gravity seat mode, each environmental functional unit within the vehicle can be linked to the target seat.

[0125] In this embodiment, the user can modify the usage state of the environmental functional units based on actual needs, similar to the modification of the configuration parameters of the target posture in step 450 above. After the modification, the next time the zero-gravity chair mode is entered, the corresponding environmental functional units will be controlled to operate in the modified usage state.

[0126] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0127] Step 470 : When the target seat is the passenger seat, the driving state information indicates that the vehicle is in motion, the vehicle speed is less than a preset speed, the environmental dataset indicates that there are no obstacles within the transition space between the target seat and the rear seats, and the current usage state information indicates that no one is sitting in the rear seat, a first warning prompt is issued.

[0128] Step 480: If the control instruction for converting the passenger seat to the zero-gravity seat mode is received again within the preset time period of issuing the i-th warning prompt, and when i is greater than or equal to the preset number of times, the passenger seat is controlled to respond to the control instruction, i is 1 to N in sequence, N is an integer greater than 1, and the preset number of times can be flexibly set according to actual conditions.

[0129] The preset speed can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, for example, 30 km / h. The preset duration can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, for example, 5 seconds.

[0130] As an example, if the user only wants to adjust the passenger seat to a zero-gravity seat, and if the vehicle is in a low-speed driving state (i.e., the speed is less than the preset speed), and there are no obstacles in the conversion space, and there is no user sitting in the rear seat, the user triggers the control command for the passenger seat to enter the zero-gravity seat mode. At this time, the first warning prompt can be issued through the speaker voice of the central control display. Within 5 seconds of the first warning prompt, if the user says "Confirm to enter the zero-gravity seat mode", the second warning prompt can be issued through the central control display. If the user's voice saying "Confirm to enter the zero-gravity seat mode" is collected again within 5 seconds of the second warning prompt, the passenger seat can be controlled to enter the zero-gravity seat mode. Among them, for driving safety, the driver's seat is not allowed to enter the zero-gravity seat mode while the vehicle is driving.

Thus, the vehicle incorporates the functions of the control system 10, thereby enhancing the user's driving experience and improving safety during zero-gravity seat mode transitions.
