[0034] Although the operations or steps are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should not be understood as requiring the specific order or serial order to perform the operations or steps, or requiring all the shown operations or steps to obtain the desired results. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the operations or steps can be performed in series; the operations or steps can also be performed in parallel; or a part of the operations or steps can be performed.

[0035] Firstly, the application scenario of the present disclosure is described.

[0036] With the development of the automotive industry, the intelligent degree of vehicles is getting higher and higher, and the user's control needs for vehicles are getting higher and higher. Users hope to be able to control the vehicle in all scenarios at any position on the car, which requires providing a suitable operation interface for the user.

[0037] At present, the implementation methods of the commonly used full-scene control include the following two methods.

[0038] 1. Voice control. However, the commonly used voice control scheme at present requires the user to know what the content name to be set is, and the voice control has problems such as mutual interference of sound zones, interference by noise, and influence on the quiet atmosphere in the car, etc., which leads to low vehicle control efficiency and affects the user experience.

[0039] 2、Touch control. However, the current touch control scheme mainly adopts an on-screen touch control scheme, i.e., a touch display screen, and a screen-free capacitive touch control scheme. Although the touch control scheme of the touch screen supports rich and adjustable touch control content, the touch control position is relatively fixed and the layout position is limited by the screen layout due to the integration of the touch control and the display screen, and the cost is high; the layout position of the screen-free capacitive touch control scheme has relatively large freedom and can be well integrated with the interior design, but the supported touch control content is determined by the display icon of the touch control position, so the supported touch control content is limited and fixed. That is, the current touch control technology has the problems of dependence on the display screen, fixed and limited layout position.

[0040] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a vehicle control method, system, device, medium, computer product and vehicle. From a plurality of preset control areas, a target control area is determined; according to the control operation on the target control area, the operation position of the control operation is determined; according to the control instruction corresponding to the operation position, the vehicle is controlled. Through the above method, the user can select the target control area in the plurality of preset control areas according to his own needs, so that the control process is not affected by the user's own position, and the user can control different functions of the vehicle from any position in the vehicle; since the control process is realized by using the operation position of the control operation, the specific control mode corresponding to different operation positions is diversified, which not only provides personalized control experience for the user, but also improves the accuracy of the control of the vehicle, so that the control process is not affected by the external environment such as noise, and provides a good use experience for the user.

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the method can include the following steps.

[0043] In step S101, a target control area is determined from a plurality of preset control areas.

[0044] In this embodiment, the plurality of preset control areas can be the default settings when the vehicle is shipped, and the plurality of preset control areas can also be user-defined settings.

[0045] In some embodiments, step S101 can further include setting a specified control area as the target control area, and the specified control area can be a default control area set by the user.

[0046] In some embodiments, the plurality of preset control areas includes a vehicle seat, a seat armrest, a window, a vehicle body, or a vehicle body chassis.

[0047] In some embodiments, the target control region can be a plane other than the vehicle hardware device, for example, the palm of a user.

[0048] In step S102, an operation position of the control operation is determined according to the control operation on the target control region.

[0049] In some embodiments, the control operation of the user on the target control region can include a single-finger click touch operation, the control operation of the user on the target control region can also include a multi-finger touch operation, a sliding operation, a dragging operation, a two-finger separation operation, and the like, and the control operation of the user on the target control region can also include a tapping operation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the operation position of the control operation can be a coordinate of the control operation in the target control region.

[0051] In step S103, the vehicle is controlled according to the control instruction corresponding to the operation position.

[0052] In this embodiment, the control instruction corresponding to the operation position can be used to control the vehicle-mounted device, for example, the control instruction corresponding to the operation position can be used to control the air conditioner, the light, the window, the music player, and the like of the vehicle; optionally, the control instruction can include an adjustment operation on the vehicle-mounted device, for example, the control instruction can include adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner, turning on or off the light, raising or lowering the window height, adjusting the operating parameters of the music player, and the like.

[0053] With the above method, the user can select the target control region in the multiple preset control regions according to his own needs, so that the control process is not affected by the user's own position, and the user can control different functions of the vehicle from any position in the vehicle; since the control process is implemented by using the operation position of the control operation, the specific control mode corresponding to different operation positions is diversified, which not only provides the user with personalized control experience, but also improves the accuracy of the control of the vehicle, so that the control process is not affected by the external environment such as noise, and provides the user with a good use experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the target control region displays a preset operation interface, the preset operation interface includes at least one control icon, and different control icons correspond to different control instructions; the control operation on the target control region in step S101 includes a region selection operation on the multiple preset control regions, or an icon selection operation on the preset operation interface.

[0055] In this embodiment, the preset operation interface of the vehicle can be a user interface (UI) interface of the vehicle center screen, and the preset operation interface of the vehicle can also be a commonly used function operation interface set by the user.

[0056] In the embodiment, the control icons are used to control the vehicle-mounted functions of the vehicle, and the control icons are icons including function identifiers, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, different control icons correspond to different control operations.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the preset operation interface includes different selection modes, for example, the selection modes of the preset operation interface include a single selection mode or a multiple selection mode; in a case where the preset operation interface is in the single selection mode, there is only one control icon; and in a case where the preset operation interface is in the multiple selection mode, there are multiple control icons.

[0058] In some embodiments, the vehicle control method can further include displaying, by a display device, the preset operation interface of the vehicle to the target control region. Optionally, the UI interface of the vehicle central control screen is projected to the target control region by a projection device.

[0059] In a possible implementation, the operation interfaces displayed by different target control regions can be different, and the control regions and the operation interfaces have a mapping relationship, and the vehicle control method can further include: determining, according to a preset mapping relationship, a target operation interface corresponding to the target control region, and displaying the target operation interface in the target control region.

[0060] In the embodiment, the mapping relationship between the control regions and the operation interfaces can be pre-stored in the vehicle controller, and the mapping relationship is used to determine the size and shape of the target operation interface.

[0061] In some embodiments, the preset operation interface includes a switching control icon, which is a control icon used to adjust the position of the control region; and the vehicle control method can further include: switching the control region of the preset operation interface in response to a triggering operation on the switching control icon. For example, the default target control region is the central armrest position, the preset operation interface is displayed in the central armrest position, the preset operation interface includes the switching control icon, and then the preset operation interface is adjusted to a preset control region other than the central armrest position by the switching control icon.

[0062] By using the above method, the preset operation interface including at least one control icon is displayed in the target control region, and the vehicle is controlled through the control icon, which can improve the accuracy of vehicle control, make the control process not affected by the noise environment, and provide a good user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, the region selection operation can include a touch operation or a tapping operation on a specified position of the preset control region.

[0064] In the embodiment, the specified position of the preset control region can be a partial position of the preset control region, for example, the upper left corner or the right half region, or the specified position of the preset control region can be the entire preset control region.

[0065] In some embodiments, the step S101 can include determining the target control region from the plurality of preset control regions according to the region selection operation.

[0066] For example, determining the target control region from the plurality of preset control regions according to the region selection operation can include the following manners.

[0067] Manner one: in a case where the touch operation of the user on the specified position is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, the preset control region is taken as the target control region; the preset time threshold can be 2 seconds (s).

[0068] Manner two: in a case where the number of click operations of the user on the specified position is greater than or equal to a preset click number, the preset control region is taken as the target control region; the preset click number can be one or two.

[0069] Manner three: in a case where the number of tap operations of the user on the specified position is greater than or equal to a preset tap number, the preset control region is taken as the target control region; the preset tap number can be two or three.

[0070] In some embodiments, the region selection operation can further include a voice instruction; determining the target control region from the plurality of preset control regions according to the region selection operation of the user on the plurality of preset control regions can further include: according to the voice instruction containing a preset voice keyword, the preset control region is taken as the target control region; the preset voice keyword can be the number of the control region, or the preset voice keyword can be the name of the control region, for example, the preset voice keyword includes: opening the first control mode, opening the window control mode.

[0071] In some embodiments, the region selection operation further includes a gesture operation; the step S101 can further include: determining the control region matched with the gesture contour of the user from the plurality of preset control regions; the control region matched with the gesture contour of the user is taken as the target control region.

[0072] In some embodiments, each preset control region is provided with a physical button, and step S101 can further include: in response to a pressing operation of the physical button by the user, determining the target control region from the plurality of preset control regions according to the physical button, the physical button having a corresponding relationship with the preset control region. For example, the plurality of preset control regions include a headrest, an armrest, a window, or a vehicle body frame, and the physical buttons are arranged below the headrest, above the armrest, below the window, or at any position of the vehicle body frame. When the user presses any one of the physical buttons, the preset control region corresponding to the physical button is taken as the target control region.

[0073] By using the above method, the user determines the target control region from the plurality of preset control regions by a region selection operation. The target control region can be a plurality of positions in the vehicle, so that the user controls the vehicle without being restricted by the positions, and the user's control experience is enriched.

[0074] In some embodiments, the icon selection operation can include a touch operation, a click operation, or a touch control operation on the at least one control icon.

[0075] In some embodiments, step S102 can include: determining the operation position of the icon selection operation according to the icon selection operation.

[0076] In a possible implementation, determining the operation position of the icon selection operation according to the icon selection operation of the user on the preset operation interface can include: determining the operation position of the icon selection operation according to the icon selection operation of the user on the preset operation interface by using an information acquisition device.

[0077] In some embodiments, the information acquisition device can include an image acquisition device and / or a touch signal acquisition device.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the vehicle control method can further include: determining whether the icon selection operation is triggered by the user on the preset operation interface; and determining whether the icon selection operation is triggered by the user on the preset operation interface can include: determining that the icon selection operation is triggered in a case where the operation position of the control operation of the user coincides with the position of any one of the control icons.

[0079] In another possible implementation, the positions of the at least one control icon in different preset operation interfaces can be different, and the vehicle control method can further include: acquiring the icon position of the at least one control icon in the target operation interface; and determining that the icon selection operation is triggered in a case where the operation position of the control operation of the user coincides with the icon position of the at least one control icon.

[0080] In the embodiment, the icon position of the at least one control icon in the target operation interface can be pre-stored in the vehicle controller.

[0081] By using the above method, the preset operation interface including the at least one control icon is displayed in the target control region, which is beneficial to realizing the accurate control of the vehicle by using the control icon, and the control process is not affected by the environment and the position of the user, thereby providing a good user experience.

[0082] In some embodiments, the preset operation interface includes: projecting the preset operation interface to the target control region by the projection device; and / or, the target control region displays the interface mark corresponding to the preset operation interface.

[0083] In some embodiments, the projection device includes a projector, which can be an infrared projector; optionally, the projector can also be a projector with a focal length adjustment function. For example, a UI interface of a center control screen in a vehicle is projected to a target control region by a projector with a focal length adjustment function using collimated light.

[0084] In a possible implementation, the projection device can further include a rotating mechanism for rotating the projector to adjust the position of the projector; and projecting the preset operation interface to the target control region according to the display parameter by the projection device can include: adjusting the position of the projection device by using the rotating mechanism according to the position of the target control region, so that the preset operation interface is projected to the target control region according to the display parameter. For example, the position of the target control region is the right rear window of the vehicle, and the UI image interface is projected to the right rear window of the vehicle by using the rotating mechanism to control the projector.

[0085] In another possible implementation, the number of projection devices can be one or multiple; in the case of one projection device, projecting the preset operation interface to the target control region according to the display parameter by the projection device can further include: according to the position of the target control region, taking the nearest projection device as a target projection device; and projecting the preset operation interface to the target control region according to the display parameter by the target projection device.

[0086] In a possible implementation, the interface mark includes a pasted or drawn pattern, and the target control region displaying the interface mark corresponding to the preset operation interface can include: the target control region displaying the pasted or drawn pattern corresponding to the preset operation interface.

[0087] For example, the user can display the preset operation interface in the form of pasting or drawing a pattern on the plurality of preset control regions. When the operation interface is implemented in the form of pasting, the user can design the preset operation interface by himself / herself and then paste the picture to the designated position. In order to improve the accuracy of control, the pasted and drawn pattern can adopt a specific color ink, for example, a color ink with high reflectivity in the visible light wave band, or a color ink with high reflectivity in the infrared light wave band or a color ink with added fluorescent material, so as to improve the shooting clarity of the camera on the image and improve the recognition accuracy. In this way, the color ink can be used for the scheme of recognizing the color picture, the color ink with high reflectivity in the infrared light wave band can be used for the scheme of recognizing the infrared light, and the color ink with added fluorescent material can be used for providing a night environment. The preset operation interface can be applied in diversified scenes, which enriches the control scene and provides the user with a personalized control mode.

[0088] By using the above method, the preset operation interface is projected to the target control region by the projection device, and the target control region can be a plurality of positions in the vehicle, so that the control of the vehicle is not constrained by the position. The interface mark can include diversified display modes, which can provide the user with a personalized control experience.

[0089] In some embodiments, the above vehicle control method further includes: obtaining a display parameter corresponding to the target control region; and projecting, by the projection device, the preset operation interface to the target control region can further include: projecting, by the projection device, the preset operation interface to the target control region according to the display parameter.

[0090] In this embodiment, the display parameter can include the size and shape of the preset operation interface to be projected.

[0091] It should be noted that different preset control regions have different sizes and shapes. In order to better display the preset operation interface, the preset operation interface needs to be matched with the shape and size of the target control region in advance, and the mapping relationship between the control region and the operation interface is pre-stored in the vehicle memory. Alternatively, the user can also adjust the mapping relationship between the preset operation interface and the shape and size of the target control region.

[0092] For example, referring to FIG. 2A, when the preset control region is an armrest, the display parameter can include that the preset operation interface is a rectangle; referring to FIG. 2B, when the preset control region is a headrest, the display parameter can include that the shape of the preset operation interface is a trapezoid. Alternatively, when the preset control region is a window or other region, the display parameter can further include that the shape of the preset operation interface is a rounded rectangle or other irregular shape.

[0093] In a possible implementation, the display parameter further includes the resolution of the preset operation interface to be projected.

[0094] It should be noted that different preset control areas are actually different projection bearing surfaces. Since different projection bearing surfaces have different reflection coefficients, the resolution of the preset operation interface to be projected needs to be adjusted to obtain the best display effect. Alternatively, different preset control areas can be processed correspondingly to enhance the reflection effect of the projection bearing surface on the projection picture, thereby improving the clarity of the projection picture and the clarity of the picture captured by the camera.

[0095] In a possible implementation, the plurality of preset control areas can also be a plane other than the vehicle hardware device, such as a user's palm. At this time, the projecting, by the projection device, the preset operation interface to the target control area according to the display parameter can include: projecting, by the projection device, the preset operation interface to the user's palm according to the display parameter. In this way, without adding a hardware device or changing the structure of the vehicle, the control of different functions of the vehicle can be realized in the air, which not only saves hardware costs, but also makes the vehicle control mode not restricted by the environment and location, and realizes the in-vehicle full-scene control.

[0096] In a possible implementation, the display parameter further includes a color of the preset operation interface to be projected.

[0097] By using the above method, the preset operation interface is projected to the target control area by the projection device according to the display parameter. The target control area can be a plurality of positions in the vehicle, so that the control of the vehicle is not restricted by the position. The display parameter can include diversified display modes, which can provide personalized control experience for the user.

[0098] In some embodiments, according to the icon selection operation, determining the operation position of the icon selection operation includes: determining the operation position of the icon selection operation by image information; or determining the operation position of the icon selection operation by parameter information of the target control area.

[0099] In this embodiment, the image information can be obtained by using an image acquisition device.

[0100] In a possible implementation, the image acquisition device is a camera. The camera can be a camera of an automatic driving system, or can be a newly added high-resolution camera, such as a camera with infrared detection function.

[0101] In this embodiment, the setting position of the image acquisition device can include: a central rearview position in the vehicle, a sunroof switch position, left and right rearview mirrors, a position above and in the middle of the lower door of the vehicle, and the like. The image acquisition device can also be arranged at other positions capable of obtaining the image of the preset operation interface and the image of the user.

[0102] In another possible implementation, in order to reduce the influence of stray light, the projection device is integrated with an infrared light supplementing device for emitting infrared light of a specific wave band, and correspondingly, the image acquisition device is a camera with a filter for only transmitting light of the specific wave band, so that the image acquisition device can acquire a clearer image, and the accuracy of determining the icon selection operation is improved.

[0103] In a possible implementation, the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined through image information, which can include: acquiring a preset operation interface image and a user's finger image; and determining the operation position of the icon selection operation according to the preset operation interface image and the user's finger image.

[0104] For example, the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined through image information, which can be determined through the following manner: a finger image recognition technology is used to recognize the user's finger image; a target detection method is used to recognize the preset operation interface, to obtain a preset operation interface image containing images of various control icons; and a part of the finger image that coincides with the preset operation interface image is taken as the operation position of the icon selection operation. The finger image recognition technology can set a threshold according to a built-in finger feature model or a human skin color model, segment a hand region from the image, recognize a finger region in the image, remove noise points and background, extract an edge contour curve of the finger, and process a finger tip as a circular or square block.

[0105] In this embodiment, the parameter information of the target control region can be parameter information of a touch operation, and the parameter information includes at least one of a capacitance parameter, a resistance parameter, a pressure value parameter, a sound wave parameter, a light sensitivity, a temperature parameter, and a humidity parameter.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the parameter information of the target control region can be a touch signal collected by a touch sensing device; optionally, the touch sensing device can be a capacitive touch screen, a pressure sensing touch screen, a resistive touch screen, an infrared touch screen, a surface acoustic wave touch screen, or the like.

[0107] In a possible implementation, the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined through the parameter information of the target control region, which can include: acquiring a touch signal of the target control region, and determining the operation position of the icon selection operation according to the touch signal.

[0108] For example, the touch sensing device is a capacitive touch sensor, and the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined through the parameter information of the target control region, which can further include: acquiring capacitive distribution data of the user when operating the target control region, and determining the operation position according to the capacitive distribution data.

[0109] For another example, the touch sensing device is a pressure sensor; the operation position of the icon selection operation can also be determined by acquiring pressure distribution data of the user when operating the target control region and determining the operation position according to the pressure distribution data.

[0110] In another possible implementation, the preset operation interface is not displayed in the target control region, and the target control region is integrated with a touch sensing device, and the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined by the touch sensing device in the target control region. In this way, the user only needs to remember the UI interface content of different preset regions to control different functions of the vehicle, and the operation position can be obtained without the image acquisition device and controlled according to the operation position, thereby realizing blind operation of the vehicle control and saving hardware cost.

[0111] In another possible implementation, the touch sensing device in the target control region can be arranged only in part of the region. For example, referring to FIG. 2C, the touch sensing device in the target control region is arranged only in four corners of the target control region. In this way, the operation position of the icon selection operation can be determined by the touch sensing device in the target control region while saving cost to the greatest extent. In actual application, the touch sensing device in the target control region can also be arranged in other manners, and the touch sensing device in the target control region can also be pre-calibrated to improve the speed of determining the operation position of the icon selection operation and save memory resources of the controller of the vehicle.

[0112] In some other embodiments, the parameter information of the target control region can also be obtained by using a sensor in the target control region; optionally, the sensor in the target control region can include a resistive touch sensor, a capacitive touch sensor, an infrared sensor, and a surface acoustic wave sensor.

[0113] By using the above method, the operation image of the movement, clicking, and other actions of the finger in front of the screen is captured, and the operation position of the icon selection operation is determined according to the operation image, thereby realizing precise control without increasing additional hardware devices such as a touch screen and saving hardware cost; the operation position is determined by the parameter information of the target control region, and the position of the parameter information acquisition device is not fixed, which can be arranged at almost any position in the vehicle, so that the vehicle control is not constrained by the position, and the specific form of the parameter information acquisition device is also diversified, thereby providing personalized control experience for the user.

[0114] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, step S103 can include the following steps.

[0116] In the embodiment, the icon selection operation includes a touch operation, a click operation or a touch control operation on the at least one control icon.

[0117] In a possible implementation, the step S1031 can include the following manners.

[0118] Manner one: in a case where a touch operation duration on the at least one control icon meets a preset duration range, a control icon corresponding to an operation position of the touch operation is taken as the target control icon.

[0119] In the embodiment, the touch operation duration can be a stay duration for each operation icon, and the preset duration range can be greater than or equal to 2 s and less than or equal to 4 s. In actual application, the user can also customize the preset duration range to adjust the sensitivity of the touch operation, effectively avoiding a false touch.

[0120] In the embodiment, the touch operation can be a touch operation of a user's finger, the touch operation can also be a touch operation of a user's finger, and the touch operation can also be completed by a stylus or other body parts of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0121] Manner two: in a case where a click number of a click operation on the at least one control icon is greater than or equal to a preset number, a control icon corresponding to an operation position of the click operation is taken as the target control icon.

[0122] In the embodiment, the preset number can be one, and the preset number can also be set by the user.

[0123] Manner three: in a case where parameter information of a touch control operation on the at least one control icon meets a preset condition, a control icon corresponding to an operation position of the touch control operation is taken as the target control icon, and the parameter information includes at least one of a capacitance parameter, a resistance parameter, a pressure value parameter, a sound wave parameter, light, a temperature parameter and a humidity parameter.

[0124] In some embodiments, the parameter information of the touch control operation on the at least one control icon meeting the preset condition can include any one of the following: the capacitance parameter is greater than or equal to a preset capacitance threshold, the resistance parameter is greater than or equal to a preset resistance threshold, the pressure value parameter is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold, the sound wave parameter meets a preset frequency range, the light meets a preset brightness range, the temperature parameter is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, and the humidity parameter is greater than or equal to a preset humidity threshold.

[0126] According to the method, the control icon is selected in the preset operation interface according to the touch time, the click number of the click operation, or the pressure value of the pressing operation, and then the vehicle is controlled according to the target control icon, so that the vehicle is accurately controlled by using the control icon, the control process is not affected by the environment and the user position, and a good user experience is provided.

[0127] In a possible implementation, the step S1031 can further include: in a case where the preset operation interface image and the finger image of the user represent that the finger of the user is placed above the control icon, and the target control region has the touch signal, taking the control icon where the finger of the user is placed as the target control icon.

[0128] In step S1032, the vehicle is controlled according to the control instruction corresponding to the target control icon.

[0130] For example, the target control icon is used to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, and the target control icon includes a lower icon and a higher icon. The user can trigger a control instruction for increasing the temperature of the air conditioner or a control instruction for decreasing the temperature of the air conditioner by performing a touch operation, a click operation, or a pressing operation on the lower icon or the higher icon, so as to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner.

[0131] According to the method, the vehicle is controlled according to the target control icon, so that the vehicle is accurately controlled by using the control icon, the control process is not affected by the environment and the user position, and a good user experience is provided.

[0132] In some embodiments, the step S103 can further include: determining, by using a first correspondence relationship, a target control instruction corresponding to the operation position from a plurality of preset control instructions, the first correspondence relationship being a correspondence relationship between different operation positions and different preset control instructions; and controlling the vehicle according to the target control instruction.

[0133] In this embodiment, the control operation of the user on the target control region can include a trigger operation on different operation positions, and the trigger operation can include a touch operation, a click operation, or a touch operation.

[0134] In this embodiment, the first correspondence relationship can be a correspondence relationship between an operation position set by the user and a control instruction.

[0135] Exemplarily, the target control region is a left window of the vehicle, the trigger operation is a knocking operation, and the user sets the first correspondence relationship as follows: the target control instruction is to turn on the light by knocking the lower left corner of the central armrest, and the target control instruction is to turn off the light by knocking the lower left corner of the central armrest. In this way, the user can control the light in the vehicle by knocking different positions on the central armrest.

[0136] By using the first correspondence relationship and triggering different control instructions by different operation positions, the above method can improve the accuracy of vehicle control, make the control process not affected by the user's own position and noise environment, and provide a good user experience.

[0137] In some embodiments, step S103 can further include determining an operation manner corresponding to the operation position, determining a target control instruction corresponding to the operation manner from a plurality of preset control instructions by using a second correspondence relationship, and controlling the vehicle according to the target control instruction, where the second correspondence relationship is a correspondence relationship between different operation manners and different preset control instructions.

[0138] In this embodiment, the control operation of the user on the target control region can include trigger operations on the same operation position according to different operation manners. The trigger operation can include a touch operation, a click operation, or a touch operation. The operation manner can include the number of knocks on the operation position, the number of clicks of the click operation, or the touch duration of the touch operation.

[0139] In this embodiment, the second correspondence relationship can be a correspondence relationship between an operation manner set by the user and a control instruction.

[0140] Exemplarily, the target control region is a vehicle body frame of the vehicle, the operation position is the entire region of the target control region, that is, the entire vehicle body frame, the operation manner is the number of knocks of the knocking operation, and the second correspondence relationship includes: the target control instruction is to turn on the light by knocking the vehicle body frame twice, and the target control instruction is to turn off the light by knocking the vehicle body frame three times. In this way, the user can control the light in the vehicle by knocking the vehicle body frame different number of times.

[0141] By using the second correspondence relationship and triggering different control instructions by different operation positions, the above method can improve the accuracy of vehicle control, make the control process not affected by the user's own position and noise environment, and provide a good user experience.
