[0027] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In this invention, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0030] This invention provides a method for controlling seat adjustment in a vehicle. Referring to Figure 1, the method includes the following steps S101 to S104:

[0031] S101: Obtain the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices of adjacent seats of the zero gravity seat.

[0032] In some implementations, the multiple supporting devices may include at least two of a seat belt, a display screen, an audio monitoring device, a camera, and a seat pressure sensor; the usage status of the multiple supporting devices may include the usage status of the seat belt and the usage status of the display screen; the detection information of the multiple supporting devices may include the sound loudness detected by the audio monitoring device, the video captured by the camera, and the pressure detected by the seat pressure sensor.

[0033] It should be noted that a zero-gravity seat can be any seat in the vehicle, and there can be one or more adjacent seats. For example, in a five-seater sedan, there are two seats in the front row and three seats in the back row. The zero-gravity seat can be the rightmost seat in the back row, and the adjacent seat can be the seat corresponding to the front passenger seat. The adjacent seat can also be the seat corresponding to the front passenger seat and the middle seat in the back row.

[0034] S102: Determine the occupant information of adjacent seats based on the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices.

[0035] In some implementations, the occupant information of adjacent seats includes result information indicating whether there are occupants in adjacent seats; determining the occupant information of adjacent seats based on the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices may include: determining a target supporting device from multiple supporting devices, the usage status or detection information of the target supporting device indicating that there are occupants in adjacent seats; if the number of the target supporting device is greater than a preset number threshold, determining the result information indicating that there are occupants in adjacent seats, otherwise, determining the result information indicating that there are no occupants in adjacent seats.

[0036] It should be noted that when the number of multiple supporting components is 5, the preset quantity threshold can be 3 or 4, etc. When the number of multiple supporting components is 3, the preset quantity threshold can be 1 or 2, etc.

[0037] In some implementations, determining a target accessory from multiple accessories may include: if the seat belt is in use and the duration of use exceeds a preset first duration threshold, the seat belt is determined to be the target accessory; if the display screen is in use and the duration of use exceeds a preset second duration threshold, the display screen is determined to be the target accessory; if the sound intensity detected by the audio source monitoring device is greater than a preset loudness threshold and the duration exceeds a preset third duration threshold, the audio source monitoring device is determined to be the target accessory; if a face is detected in the image area of ​​an adjacent seat based on the video captured by the camera and the duration exceeds a preset fourth duration threshold, the camera is determined to be the target accessory; if the pressure detected by the seat pressure sensor is greater than a preset pressure threshold and the duration exceeds a preset fifth duration threshold, the seat pressure sensor is determined to be the target accessory.

[0038] It should be noted that the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth duration thresholds can be durations of less than 60 seconds, such as 3 seconds, 10 seconds, or 20 seconds.

[0039] It should be noted that methods such as directly determining a seatbelt as a target device based solely on its "used" status, or directly determining a sound source monitoring device as a target device based solely on its sound volume exceeding a preset loudness threshold, can be used without needing to detect the duration of use. However, this approach also presents some problems. For example, random errors caused by data jumps can lead to incorrect determinations of the target device without setting a detection duration, resulting in low accuracy of occupant information for adjacent seats. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention adds a duration limit. For instance, not only must the seatbelt be in a "used" status, but the duration of its "used" status must also exceed a preset first duration threshold to determine if the seatbelt is a target device. This avoids random errors caused by data jumps, thus preventing incorrect determinations of the target device and improving the accuracy of occupant information for adjacent seats.

[0040] It should be noted that the presence of an occupant in an adjacent seat can be determined solely by the seatbelt's usage status, or by the sound volume exceeding a preset loudness threshold, without requiring the use of seatbelts, displays, audio monitoring devices, cameras, and seat pressure sensors. However, this presents some problems, such as a malfunctioning seat pressure sensor that could lead to inaccurate pressure readings and incorrect judgments. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention limits the determination to using seatbelts, displays, audio monitoring devices, cameras, and seat pressure sensors together. By utilizing the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices, the occupant information of adjacent seats can be determined. This avoids relying solely on a single supporting device to determine occupant information and prevents incorrect judgments due to the malfunction of a single device, thus improving the accuracy of occupant information for adjacent seats.

[0041] S103: Based on the occupant information of adjacent seats, control the adjacent seats to translate and adjust in a direction away from the zero-gravity seats.

[0042] In some implementations, controlling the adjacent seats to translate away from the zero-gravity seat based on the occupant information of the adjacent seats may include: determining a target translation amount of the adjacent seats based on the occupant information of the adjacent seats; and controlling the adjacent seats to translate away from the zero-gravity seat to adjust the target translation amount.

[0043] In some implementations, the occupant information of adjacent seats includes result information indicating whether there are occupants in the adjacent seats, occupant height, occupant weight, and occupant posture; determining the target translation amount of the adjacent seats based on the occupant information of adjacent seats may include: if the result information indicates that there are no occupants in the adjacent seats, using the maximum allowable translation amount of the adjacent seats as the target translation amount of the adjacent seats; if the result information indicates that there are occupants in the adjacent seats, determining the target translation amount of the adjacent seats based on the occupant height, occupant weight, and occupant posture.

[0044] In some implementations, determining the target translation amount of adjacent seats based on the occupant's height, weight, and posture may include: inputting the occupant's height, weight, and posture into a preset first correspondence relationship to obtain the target translation amount of adjacent seats; wherein, the first correspondence relationship is the correspondence between the occupant's height, weight, posture, and the target translation amount of adjacent seats.

[0045] It should be noted that when there are people in adjacent seats and adjustments are needed, the greater the height and weight of the occupants, the smaller the adjustable translation amount of the adjacent seats. Similarly, the occupant's posture also affects the adjustable translation amount of adjacent seats; for example, if the occupant's posture is with their legs crossed, the adjustable translation amount of the adjacent seats will be smaller. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention combines occupant height, weight, and posture to determine the target translation amount of adjacent seats, avoiding the use of a single factor to determine the target translation amount, improving the accuracy of this data, and thus preventing occupants from being pinched between adjacent seats.

[0046] In other implementations, determining the target translation amount of adjacent seats based on occupant information may include: if the result information indicates that there are occupants in the adjacent seats, setting zero as the target translation amount for the adjacent seats. In this case, without adjusting the adjacent seats when there are occupants, occupant injury can be absolutely avoided.

[0047] S104: Determine the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat based on the translation adjustment amount of the adjacent seats, and adjust the zero-gravity seat based on the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat.

[0048] In some implementations, prior to step S104, the method further includes: obtaining the translation adjustment amount of adjacent seats.

[0049] In some implementations, obtaining the translation adjustment amount of adjacent seats includes: using the target translation amount of the adjacent seats as the translation adjustment amount of the adjacent seats.

[0050] In other embodiments, obtaining the translation adjustment amount of adjacent seats includes: monitoring the current translation amount of adjacent seats through a displacement sensor; and using the current translation amount of adjacent seats as the translation adjustment amount of adjacent seats.

[0051] It should be noted that step S104 can be performed simultaneously with step S103, or it can be performed after step S103 is completed.

[0052] In some implementations, determining the adjustment reference information for the zero-gravity seat based on the translational adjustment of adjacent seats may include: determining the translational adjustment and / or rotational adjustment of the zero-gravity seat based on the translational adjustment of adjacent seats.

[0053] In some embodiments, the vehicle seat adjustment control method may further include: monitoring the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat during the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat based on the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat; outputting a warning message if the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat is within a preset first resistance range; and outputting an alarm message and stopping the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat if the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat is within a preset second resistance range, wherein the lower limit of the second resistance range is greater than the upper limit of the first resistance range.

[0054] It should be noted that when there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, during the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat based on the adjustment reference information, other occupants may move to the vicinity of the zero-gravity seat. If the zero-gravity seat continues to be adjusted in this situation, it could pinch and injure the moving occupant. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat. The motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat is used to characterize whether the zero-gravity seat encounters an obstacle during movement and whether it will cause damage to the obstacle. When the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat is within the preset second resistance range, it indicates that the zero-gravity seat has encountered an obstacle during movement and will cause damage to the obstacle. Therefore, the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat is stopped at this point to avoid pinching and injuring the moving occupant. This reduces the possibility of occupant injury when adjusting the vehicle seat.

[0055] It should also be noted that when the zero-gravity seat's resistance is within the preset first resistance range, it indicates that the seat encounters an obstacle during movement but will not damage it. Therefore, only a warning message needs to be output to prompt the occupant to check; the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat will not be stopped, thus improving the adjustment efficiency. When the zero-gravity seat's resistance is within the preset second resistance range, it indicates that the seat encounters an obstacle during movement and will potentially damage it. Therefore, adjustments to the zero-gravity seat should be stopped at this point to avoid injuring the occupant. Thus, by adjusting according to different resistance levels, a beneficial balance between the adjustment efficiency and safety of the zero-gravity seat is achieved.

[0056] In some implementations, monitoring the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat may include: acquiring the torque of the motor in the drive system of the zero-gravity seat; inputting the motor torque to a preset second correspondence to obtain the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat, wherein the second correspondence is the correspondence between the motor torque and the motion resistance of the zero-gravity seat.

[0057] It's important to note that if the front passenger seat is adjacent to another seat, if the front passenger screen is playing a video or any function such as ventilation, heating, or massage is activated, it indicates that there is an occupant in the adjacent seat, and this will be marked as "function on" or "in use." If all functions are off, it will be marked as "function off," and if the display is off or in standby mode, it will be marked as "not in use." Additionally, the vehicle door status can be used to determine if there is an occupant in the adjacent seat. The vehicle can also perform real-time status monitoring, continuously monitoring the front passenger seat's status information to ensure real-time updates during vehicle operation. The status can be memorized when the vehicle is locked and powered off, preventing passengers from resting or temporarily leaving the vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle system can monitor and send the monitoring results back to the owner's terminal in real time.

[0058] This invention, in its embodiments, acquires the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices of adjacent seats in a zero-gravity seat; determines the occupant information of the adjacent seats based on the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices; controls the adjacent seats to translate and adjust away from the zero-gravity seat based on the occupant information of the adjacent seats; determines the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat based on the translation adjustment amount of the adjacent seats, and adjusts the zero-gravity seat based on the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat. Determining the occupant information of adjacent seats through the usage status and / or detection information of multiple supporting devices avoids relying solely on a single supporting device, thus preventing misjudgments due to the malfunction of a single supporting device, thereby improving the accuracy of the occupant information of adjacent seats. Therefore, it can more accurately control the adjustment of adjacent seats, avoiding over-adjustment of adjacent seats when there are occupants, thereby preventing occupant injuries. Simultaneously, determining the adjustment reference information of the zero-gravity seat based on the translation adjustment amount of adjacent seats avoids over-adjustment of the zero-gravity seat, thereby preventing occupant injuries. Therefore, it reduces the possibility of occupants being pinched when adjusting vehicle seats.
