Description

Vehicle control method, device, medium and electronic equipment Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle alcohol locks, and in particular, to a vehicle control method, device, medium, and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of automobiles, the use of alcohol locks has gradually become popular in vehicles. In existing vehicles with alcohol locks, whether the driver has been drinking alcohol is usually checked by blowing into a detection device. However, the disadvantage of this method is that even if the driver has not been drinking, it is still necessary to blow into the detection device. This process is relatively cumbersome and not intelligent enough, which in turn reduces the driver's experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides a vehicle control method, device, medium and electronic device, which can first use a first alcohol detection device to conduct an initial inspection to determine whether the driver has a risk of driving under the influence of alcohol. When the driver is determined to have a risk of driving under the influence of alcohol, a second alcohol detection device is used to determine whether to control the vehicle and prohibit starting. The accuracy of the determination of whether the driver is driving under the influence of alcohol is better improved by the re-examination method. At the same time, when the driver does not have a risk of driving under the influence of alcohol, the vehicle can be directly allowed to start, and the driver does not need to perform a breathalyzer test every time before getting in the car and starting the vehicle, thereby improving the driver's experience.

[0040] The following is a detailed description of the implementation details of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application:

[0041] First of all, it should be noted that in the technical solution of the present application, the first alcohol data detected by the first alcohol detection device can be used to conduct an initial inspection on whether the driver has a risk of drunk driving. When the driver is determined to have a risk of drunk driving, the second alcohol data detected by the second alcohol detection device based on the driver's target operation is used to determine whether to control the vehicle to prohibit starting. The accuracy of whether the driver is drunk driving is better improved by the re-examination method; at the same time, when the driver does not have a risk of drunk driving, the vehicle can be directly allowed to start, and the driver does not need to perform a breathalyzer test every time before getting in the car and starting the vehicle, thereby improving the driver's experience.

[0042] [Corrected 11.10.2024 according to Rule 91] Referring to Figures 2 and 6 , which are hardware diagrams of the vehicle control system of the present application, the following is a detailed explanation of the principles based on Figures 2 and 6 : The vehicle control system includes a detection system 1, an integrated camera 2, an onboard T-BOX 3, a cloud platform 4, a vehicle 5, and a driver 6. The detection system 1 includes a non-sensing detection point and a sensing detection handheld device. The solid line represents a hard-wired connection, and the dotted line represents data transmission.

[0043] The vehicle control system is suitable for front-end and rear-end installation on a vehicle. When installed front-end, only the detection system 1 needs to be installed. The camera all-in-one 2, the vehicle-mounted T-BOX 3 and the cloud platform 4 can all utilize the existing resources of the vehicle 5; when installed rear-end, the entire system can be adapted and assembled.

[0044] System Working Principle: Detection system 1 detects the driver's exhaled gas concentration, camera-integrated device 2 is responsible for face entry, face comparison, and face image capture, and the on-board T-BOX 3 is responsible for transmitting and caching vehicle 5 positioning information, the alcohol lock handheld device, camera-integrated device 2, and cloud platform 4 data. Cloud platform 4 is responsible for data management of the driver 6, the alcohol lock system, etc.

[0045] As shown in Figure 6, the detection system 1 includes: an air pressure sensor 11, an alcohol sensor 12, a display module 13, a GPIO interface 14, a power management module 15, a PWM output module 16, a CAN module 17, a Bluetooth module 18, and a microprocessor control module 19. The four non-sensing detection points are non-sensing detection point 21, non-sensing detection point 22, non-sensing detection point 23, and non-sensing detection point 24. The air pressure sensor 11 is used to detect the driver's breath pressure during sensory detection. The alcohol sensor 12 is used to detect alcohol concentration during sensory detection. The display module 13 is used to display the test results. The power management module 15 manages the power supply of the detection system 1. The GPIO interface 14, PWM output module 16, CAN module 17, and Bluetooth module 18 are used for data exchange. The microprocessor control module 19 is used to process the overall information of the handset and exchange data with other components of the alcohol lock device.

[0046] The existing technologies for the integrated camera 2, in-vehicle T-BOX 3, and cloud platform 4 are relatively mature and have numerous reference examples. The innovation of this system lies in its utilization of mature in-vehicle resources. Compared to existing patents, the alcohol lock system is more rationally structured, thus reducing system costs. The working principles of the integrated camera 2, in-vehicle T-BOX 3, and cloud platform 4 are not detailed here.

[0047] According to one aspect of the present application, a vehicle control method is provided. A first alcohol detection device and a second alcohol detection device are provided inside the vehicle. FIG1 is a flow chart of the vehicle control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle control method includes at least steps 110 to 130, which are described in detail as follows:

[0048] In step 110, first alcohol data detected by the first alcohol detection device is obtained when there are passengers in the vehicle, and the passengers include at least the driver. The first alcohol data is used to qualitatively characterize whether the driver has a risk of drunk driving when there is alcohol gas in the vehicle.

[0049] Specifically, the first alcohol detection device can be implemented by an alcohol concentration sensor, which is set around the vehicle. Its distribution diagram can be shown as the non-sensing detection point in Figure 2. When alcohol gas is detected in the vehicle, the first alcohol detection device will detect the first alcohol data, that is, the non-sensing detection point will respond, and the timestamp of the response will be recorded when the response occurs.

[0050] The occupants can be one, two, three, etc., that is to say, as long as any of the occupants in the vehicle drinks alcohol and emits alcohol gas, the first alcohol detection device can detect the first alcohol data, and the first alcohol data is reflected in the response time of each non-sensing detection point. At this time, if any non-sensing detection point responds, it will be determined that the driver has a risk of drunk driving.

[0051] In step 120, if the driver is determined to have a risk of drunk driving based on the first alcohol data, second alcohol data detected by the second alcohol detection device based on the driver's target operation is obtained, and the second alcohol data is used to quantitatively represent the alcohol concentration data corresponding to the driver.

[0052] Specifically, if the driver is determined to be at risk of drunk driving based on the first alcohol data, it is not enough to determine whether the driver has reached the standard for drunk driving. The standard for drunk driving is an alcohol content greater than 20mg / 100ml-100mg / 100ml, and if it exceeds 100mg / 100ml, it is determined to be drunk driving. The second alcohol detection device can be specifically the sensory detection handheld device shown in Figure 2. At this time, the driver is required to blow into the sensory detection handheld device to detect the alcohol content, wherein the driver's target operation detection is the driver blowing into the sensory detection handheld device. The second alcohol data is used to quantitatively characterize the alcohol concentration data corresponding to the driver, that is, the second alcohol data can reflect the current driver's alcohol concentration.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the first alcohol detection device includes a first detection device provided in the main driving area and a second detection device provided in the non-main driving area; and obtaining the first alcohol data detected by the first alcohol detection device includes:

[0054] Acquire a first response time of the first detection device detecting the first alcohol data, and acquire a second response time of the second detection device detecting the first alcohol data;

[0055] Determining that the driver has a risk of drunk driving based on the first alcohol data includes:

[0056] If the first response time is less than or equal to the second response time, it is determined that the driver has a risk of drunk driving.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the first detection device can be specifically the non-sensing detection point 21 closest to the main driving area, and the non-sensing detection point 22, the non-sensing detection point 23, and the non-sensing detection point 24 constitute the second detection device 25. At this time, the area corresponding to the second detection device is the non-main driving area.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, at least one second detection device is provided in the non-driver's area, and if the first response time is less than or equal to the second response time, determining that the driver has a risk of drunk driving includes:

[0059] If the first response time is less than or equal to the second response time of any second detection device detecting the first alcohol data, it is determined that the driver has a risk of drunk driving.

[0060] By obtaining the first response time of the first detection device detecting the first alcohol data, and obtaining the second response time of the second detection device detecting the first alcohol data, it can be known which non-sensing detection point responds first. For example, there are two passengers in the car, a driver and a passenger. At this time, the driver has been drinking, but the passenger has not been drinking. Then the first response is the non-sensing detection point 21, that is, the first response time of the first detection device detecting the first alcohol data is the earliest. At this time, it can be determined that the driver has a drinking risk. Otherwise, it is determined that the driver does not have a drinking risk.

[0061] Therefore, if the first response time is less than the second response time, the driver can be determined to have a risk of drunk driving; there is also a situation where the first response time is equal to the second response time, that is, the first detection device in the main driver area and the second detection device in the non-main driver area respond at the same time, indicating that the passengers in the main driver area and the non-main driver area have all drunk alcohol, and the driver can also be determined to have a risk of drunk driving.

[0062] In step 130 , when the alcohol concentration data reaches a concentration threshold, the vehicle is controlled to be prohibited from starting.

[0063] Specifically, the concentration threshold can be 20mg / 100ml. When the alcohol concentration detected by the driver facing the sensor detection handset is greater than or equal to 20mg / 100ml, the vehicle's alcohol lock is activated and the vehicle is prohibited from starting to ensure the driver's safety.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0065] If the first alcohol detection device does not detect the first alcohol data, or if it is determined based on the first alcohol data that the driver does not have a risk of drunk driving, the vehicle is allowed to start.

[0066] Specifically, if the first alcohol detection device does not detect the first alcohol data, that is, all non-sensing detection points do not detect any alcohol gas, because as long as any passenger drinks alcohol and emits alcohol gas, all non-sensing detection points will respond, so if all non-sensing detection points do not respond, it means that no passenger is drinking alcohol at this time, which means that the driver does not have the risk of drunk driving, and it is prohibited to activate the alcohol lock and start the vehicle.

[0067] There is another situation that is, it is determined based on the first alcohol data that the driver does not have the risk of drunk driving. This situation is that the driver has not drunk alcohol, but the passengers in the non-main driving area have drunk alcohol. At this time, the second detection device in the non-main driving area responds first, and the first detection device in the main driving area responds last. Because if the driver and the passenger have both drunk alcohol, the first response time of the first detection device detecting the first alcohol data and the second response time of the second detection device detecting the second alcohol data should be consistent. Therefore, as long as the first response time is slower than the second response time, the driver does not have the risk of drunk driving.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0069] After the vehicle is started, the driver is retested at least once to determine whether he or she has a risk of driving under the influence of alcohol.

[0070] After the vehicle is started, the driver is retested at least once to determine whether he or she is at risk of driving under the influence of alcohol. This means that the driver's risk of driving under the influence of alcohol can be continuously monitored while the vehicle is in motion. The method provided in the above embodiment can then be continued, determining whether the driver is at risk of drinking alcohol by determining whether the first alcohol detection device has acquired the first alcohol data. If the driver is detected to be at risk of drinking alcohol, the vehicle's speed will be limited to no more than 20 km / h. At the same time, a video camera installed in the vehicle will be used to record the incident and preserve it as evidence. Furthermore, after a period of time of speed restriction, the vehicle's power system is automatically cut off to ensure driving safety.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0072] Acquire in-vehicle image data, where the in-vehicle image data at least includes face data.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0074] When the first alcohol detection device detects the first alcohol data, and when the second alcohol detection device detects the second alcohol data based on the driver's target operation, the driver is identified based on the facial data.

[0075] Specifically, the image data inside the vehicle can be obtained through the camera equipment, and the camera equipment inside the vehicle can be kept in the state of recording and taking pictures at all times. When it is determined that the driver has the risk of drunk driving, evidence can be retained. At the same time, the driver's face can be recognized, and the vehicle can be started only after the face recognition is passed.

[0076] Furthermore, when the first alcohol detection device detects the first alcohol data, and when the second alcohol detection device detects the second alcohol data based on the driver's target operation, that is, after the driver blows, the driver's identity is identified based on the facial data to determine whether the occupant currently in the main driver's seat is legal to start the vehicle. If facial recognition fails, the vehicle is not allowed to start.

[0077] Before getting in the car for the first time, the driver needs to install the equipment and register their information. After getting in the car and sitting down, the alcohol lock handheld device performs a non-sensing alcohol test. During the test, the camera-integrated device performs personal identification and captures images during the test. If the non-sensing test passes, the driver can start the vehicle. If the non-sensing test fails, the driver must blow into the sensory detection handheld device for a sensory test. During the test, the camera performs personal identification and captures images during the test. If the test passes, the driver can start the vehicle. If the test fails, the information of the sensory detection handheld device, camera, and driver information is transmitted to the cloud platform for storage. At the same time, relevant data information can be cached in the vehicle.

[0078] At the same time, after the vehicle is started, the non-sensing detection point is always in working condition. If the driver drinks alcohol or starts the vehicle through some cheating behavior while the vehicle is driving, the non-sensing detection point can qualitatively determine whether the driver has a drinking risk. If so, the driver will be reminded to stop the car for a sensory retest and retain relevant evidence.

[0079] Handheld device-based contactless detection and positioning utilizes four sets of contactless detection points within the vehicle to determine if the driver is driving under the influence based on the diffusion rate of alcohol vapor exhaled by the occupants. When there is only one occupant in the cabin, this is the driver, who may or may not be drinking. Contactless detection requires collecting two different data sets. When there are two or more occupants in the cabin, one of whom is the driver, and one or more other passengers will be seated in positions 5 (see the figure below). Contactless detection requires collecting four sets of data, for a total of six data sets.

[0080] The key to contactless detection is determining whether the driver is at risk for alcohol consumption and eliminating the influence of alcohol consumption elsewhere on the driver's alcohol consumption. Based on the aforementioned zoning scheme for both occupant and contactless detection points, the following determination method can be developed: First, the response times of the first and second detection devices 21 and 25 are compared, and the driver's alcohol consumption is qualitatively determined based on the order of their responses.

[0081] For example, if there are two passengers in the car, the co-driver has been drinking, but the main driver has not, the alcohol exhaled by the co-driver will first reach the second detection device 25, and the second detection device 25 will respond first, and then the first detection device 21 will respond. At this time, it can be determined that the driver has not been drinking.

[0082] To sum up, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are: it can effectively avoid traffic accidents caused by drunk driving, and the facial data collected by the camera equipment can effectively prevent the driver from cheating and driving around the alcohol detection system, effectively reducing the number of on-board inspections and retests, and effectively reducing the risk of traffic accidents caused by drunk driving.

[0085] The second acquisition unit 302 is configured to acquire second alcohol data detected by the second alcohol detection device based on the driver's target operation if it is determined that the driver has a risk of drunk driving based on the first alcohol data, and the second alcohol data is used to quantitatively represent the alcohol concentration data corresponding to the driver.

[0086] The control unit 303 is configured to control the vehicle to be prohibited from starting when the alcohol concentration data reaches a concentration threshold.
