All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Fig. 1 shows an exemplary system architecture 100 of a vehicle mirror control method or a vehicle mirror control device to which an embodiment of the application may be applied.

As shown in fig. 1, the system architecture 100 may include an onboard controller 101, a network 102, a backend server 103, and a vehicle 104. Wherein the in-vehicle controller 101 may be disposed on the vehicle 104. The network 102 is used as a medium for providing a communication link between the in-vehicle controller 101 and the backend server 103.

A user may interact with the backend server 103 over the network 102 using the onboard controllers 101 to receive or send messages, etc. The in-vehicle controller 101 may perform functions for various devices, such as controlling the deployment or folding of the rear view mirror.

The in-vehicle controller 101 may also perform functions such as data processing, vehicle-to-machine interaction, and the like. For example, various sensor data may be analyzed to determine the distance of an obstacle from a vehicle, and so on. The user may interact with the in-vehicle controller 101 by voice, key presses, or soft switches, etc., and the in-vehicle controller 101 may output various information such as a vehicle state, a warning tone, etc.

The vehicle 104 is provided with various sensors for sensing the surrounding environment of the vehicle in real time, including a laser radar, a camera, an ultrasonic radar, a millimeter wave radar and the like, and the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle can be detected by utilizing signals acquired by the sensors.

The backend server 103 may be a server that provides various services to the in-vehicle controller 101. For example, control instructions are provided to the in-vehicle controller 101, as well as high-precision map data, traffic road condition data, and the like.

It should be noted that, the vehicle rearview mirror control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed by the vehicle-mounted controller 101 or may be executed by the back-end server 103, and accordingly, the adaptive automatic parking device may be disposed in the vehicle-mounted controller 101 or may be disposed in the back-end server 103. For example, the backend server 103 may receive the sensing data sent by the in-vehicle controller 101, perform the method according to the sensing data, and send a rearview mirror control command to the in-vehicle controller 101.

It should be understood that the number of in-vehicle controllers 101, networks 102, backend servers 103, and vehicles 104 in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of in-vehicle controllers 101, networks 102, backend servers 103, vehicles 104, as desired for implementation. For example, the in-vehicle controller 101 may include a mirror controller, a seat controller, a lock controller, a center control device, and the like, which may jointly execute the method, each device performing a corresponding function. For example, a rearview mirror controller controls the unfolding or folding of a rearview mirror, a seat controller monitors whether a user is present on a seat, and the like.

In order to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, when a vehicle is parked in a narrow space, a rearview mirror is easy to collide or scratch during unfolding, the application provides a vehicle rearview mirror control method, which can realize autonomous judgment of the distance between the rearview mirror and an obstacle, judge whether the rearview mirror is unfolded according to the distance, and reduce the risk of collision or scratch of the rearview mirror.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a control method for a rearview mirror of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the application. The method can be applied to one or more electronic devices such as the vehicle-mounted controller 101, the back-end server 103 and the like shown in fig. 1. The main execution body of the method may be hardware or software. When the execution body is hardware, the execution body may be one or more of the electronic devices. For example, a single electronic device may perform the method, or multiple electronic devices may cooperate with one another to perform the method. When the execution subject is software, the method may be implemented as a plurality of software or software modules, or may be implemented as a single software or software module. The present application is not particularly limited herein.

As shown in fig. 2, the method specifically includes:

In step 201, sensing data acquired by a sensor on the vehicle is acquired in response to the vehicle being unlocked by a target unlocking mode.

In this embodiment, the target unlocking manner may be various preset unlocking manners. For example, the target unlocking means may include any unlocking means, or the target unlocking means may be one or more unlocking means separately provided. Before this step is performed, the vehicle is in a parked state and the rear view mirror on the vehicle is in a folded state.

As an example, the target unlocking means may include a means in which the user remotely unlocks using a remote key, or a means in which a bluetooth sensor on the vehicle recognizes that a bluetooth key enters an unlocking range, and the vehicle is automatically unlocked.

In general, the target unlocking method may not include a short-distance unlocking method such as mechanical key unlocking and card key unlocking. Because it is possible to determine that the user using the vehicle is approaching the vehicle when the vehicle is unlocked by a short distance, the method may not be sampled to control the rear view mirror at this time, but the user may determine whether to control the rear view mirror at his own discretion.

The sensors on the vehicle may include lidar, cameras, ultrasonic radar, millimeter wave radar, etc., and the data collected by these sensors may be used to detect the environment surrounding the vehicle to determine the distance, size, type, etc. of the obstacle.

Step 202, determining whether an obstacle exists in a first safe distance range of a rearview mirror on a vehicle based on the sensing data.

In this embodiment, the rearview mirror may be a primary driving side rearview mirror or a secondary driving side rearview mirror on the vehicle. The first safety distance range mentioned above represents the distance that the mirror is kept from the surrounding obstacle when it is unfolded, which distance is typically set to the smallest distance that the user can walk through the space between the mirror and the obstacle.

By sensing the data, the executing body of the present embodiment can recognize the distance between the rear view mirror and the obstacle. For example, the distance from the rearview mirror can be determined by judging information such as the position, the outline and the like of the obstacle through point cloud data acquired by the laser radar. For another example, an ultrasonic radar may be provided near the mirror, and the distance between the mirror and the obstacle may be calculated from an ultrasonic reflection signal received by the ultrasonic radar. For another example, a depth image may also be acquired by a depth camera to determine the distance of the rearview mirror from the obstacle.

If there is an obstacle, the folded state of the rearview mirror is maintained 203.

As an example, when the vehicle is parked in the parking space, if the executing body detects that another vehicle exists in the first safe distance range of the rearview mirror, the deployment instruction is not sent to the rearview mirror controller. Thus, a certain space exists between the vehicle and the next vehicle, and a user of the vehicle to be used can pass through the space to approach the vehicle door.

In step 204, in response to detecting that the target user is outside a preset range outside a main drive side door of the vehicle, it is determined whether an obstacle is present within a second safe distance range of the rearview mirror.

In the present embodiment, the target user is the user who is to use the vehicle described above. The executing body can determine the distance between the target user and the main driving side door by acquiring sensing data acquired by a sensor on the vehicle.

Or in order to enhance the security, the characteristics of the face, the body and the like of the user can be identified to determine the identity of the user, and when the identity is matched with the identity of the target user, whether the target user enters the preset range is determined.

In addition, a signal receiver on the vehicle may also be used to receive a signal sent by an unlocking device (such as a bluetooth key) carried by the target user, and determine the distance between the target user and the door of the main driving side according to the transmission time of the signal. The signal sent by the unlocking means may also carry a security key, from which the identity of the target user is determined.

The second safe distance range may be smaller than the first safe distance range. The purpose of setting the second safe distance range is to ensure that the rearview mirror can not collide with or scratch the obstacle when being unfolded.

As an example, the first safety distance range may be a range of 30cm from the rear view mirror when it is unfolded, which may ensure that a pedestrian can smoothly pass between the rear view mirror and an obstacle, and may ensure that a door on the main driving side can be opened. The second safe distance range can be a range of 10cm away from the rearview mirror when the rearview mirror is unfolded, and the range can ensure that the rearview mirror cannot collide or scratch after being unfolded.

Step 205, if there is no obstacle, controlling the rearview mirror to be unfolded.

In this embodiment, if no obstacle is detected in the second safety distance range of the rearview mirror, the deployment of the rearview mirror can be controlled without manual operation of the target user. The specific control manner may be that the execution body sends a deployment instruction to the rearview mirror controller, and the rearview mirror controller further controls the deployment of the rearview mirror.

It should be noted that the rearview mirror described in the present embodiment may be any one of the rearview mirrors on the vehicle, that is, each rearview mirror on the vehicle is individually controlled. For example, for the main driving side rearview mirror, if no obstacle exists in the second safety distance, the main driving side rearview mirror can be controlled to be automatically unfolded; for the secondary driving side rearview mirror, if the second safety distance is detected to be an obstacle, the folding state can be kept continuously.

According to the vehicle rearview mirror control method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the vehicle is unlocked, whether an obstacle exists in a first safety distance range of the rearview mirror on the vehicle is determined based on sensing data acquired by a sensor on the vehicle, if the obstacle exists, the folding state of the rearview mirror is kept, and when a target user is detected to enter a preset range outside a main driving side door of the vehicle, whether the obstacle exists in a second safety distance range of the rearview mirror is determined; and if no obstacle exists, controlling the rearview mirror to be unfolded. The embodiment of the application realizes that after the vehicle is unlocked and before a target user approaches a door, whether the surrounding environment is suitable for unfolding the rearview mirror is judged by itself, so that collision is prevented after the rearview mirror is unfolded or the target user is blocked from approaching the door, after the target user approaches the door, the distance between the rearview mirror and an obstacle is judged again, and collision or scratch is prevented after the rearview mirror is unfolded, so that the risk of collision or scratch during the unfolding of the rearview mirror is effectively reduced, the target user does not need to judge the distance between the obstacle and the rearview mirror by itself, and the rearview mirror is not required to be controlled manually, so that the convenience of operating the rearview mirror is greatly improved.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, after step 204, the method further includes:

Step 206, if there is an obstacle, maintaining the folded state of the rearview mirror.

In this embodiment, the execution is continued by the execution body after the target user enters the vehicle. That is, if the target user decides again that there is a possibility that the opening of the mirror collides with an obstacle after entering the vehicle, the mirror is not unfolded.

Step 207, determining in real time whether the rearview mirror meets the unfolding condition.

Wherein, the unfolding condition can be set according to the driving scene. For example, the deployment condition may be: no obstacle is present in the second safety distance range of the mirror. In case of not meeting the unfolding condition, the rearview mirror keeps the folded state continuously.

And step 208, if the unfolding condition is met, controlling the rearview mirror to unfold.

That is, when it is judged that the deployment condition is satisfied, the execution body transmits a deployment instruction to the rearview mirror controller.

According to the embodiment, whether the rearview mirror can be unfolded or not can be detected in real time by setting the unfolding condition, and when no obstacle influence is detected around, the rearview mirror is unfolded in time, so that the scene adaptability of controlling the rearview mirror is further improved, the user does not need to manually control the unfolding of the rearview mirror, the convenience of using the vehicle by the user is improved, and the safety of running of the vehicle is improved.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, step 207 includes:

step 2071, detecting whether there is an obstacle in the second safety distance range of the rearview mirror in real time.

The method for detecting whether the obstacle exists in real time may refer to the description of step 204, and will not be repeated here.

Step 2072, if there is no obstacle, determining that the rearview mirror meets the unfolding condition.

In one exemplary scenario, a target user drives a vehicle to leave a parking space, if an obstacle exists in a second safety distance range of a certain rearview mirror (for example, a secondary driving side rearview mirror) during the process of leaving the parking space, the folding state is kept, and after the target user leaves the parking space, no obstacle exists in the second safety distance range of the rearview mirror, and it is confirmed that the rearview mirror can be safely unfolded at the moment.

According to the embodiment, whether the obstacle exists in the second safety distance range of the rearview mirror is detected in real time, and once the obstacle does not exist is detected, the rearview mirror can be automatically controlled to be safely unfolded, so that the rearview mirror is timely unfolded, the safety of vehicle running is improved, and convenience in vehicle control is brought to a user.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, step 207 includes:

step 2073, in response to detecting that the target user is located on a primary driver seat in the vehicle, activates a manual control function of the rear view mirror.

Specifically, whether the target user is located on the main driver seat or not can be judged by acquiring data acquired by sensors in the vehicle according to the data. As an example, an image captured by an in-vehicle camera on a main driver seat may be acquired, and if it is recognized that an image of a target user appears in the image, it is determined that the target user is located on the main driver seat in the vehicle. For another example, a pressure sensor may be provided on the main driver seat, and the target user may be determined to be located on the main driver seat in the vehicle by detecting the presence of a person on the main driver seat with the pressure sensor.

After the manual control function is activated, the target user can manually control the unfolding or folding state of the rearview mirror.

Step 2074, in response to detecting a manually triggered deployment command for the rearview mirror, determining that the rearview mirror meets a deployment condition.

Specifically, the target user can trigger the unfolding instruction of the rearview mirror in a key, voice instruction, gesture instruction and other modes, and can remotely trigger the unfolding instruction of the rearview mirror through equipment such as a mobile phone and the like. If the unfolding instruction is detected, the rearview mirror is determined to meet the unfolding condition, and the unfolding instruction can be sent to the rearview mirror controller to unfold the rearview mirror.

In one scenario, when there is a command for remotely manually triggering the deployment of the rearview mirror by a user through the mobile phone, if the target user does not enter the vehicle at this time, the manual control function of the rearview mirror is not activated, and any person cannot control the deployment of the rearview mirror. When the target user is detected to be sitting in the main driving parking space, the rearview mirror is allowed to be controlled manually, and after the target user fully confirms the safety, the rearview mirror can be controlled to be unfolded manually, so that the safety is improved.

According to the embodiment, after the target user is detected to sit on the main driver seat, the manual control function of the rearview mirror is activated, so that the authority of manually controlling the rearview mirror is effectively limited, and the risk of collision when the rearview mirror is manually unfolded is reduced.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, in step 2073, in response to detecting that the target user is located on a primary driver seat within the vehicle, the following steps may also be performed:

and outputting prompt information for prompting the target user to manually control the unfolding of the rearview mirror currently.

It should be understood that this step may be performed after the manual control function of the mirror is activated or may be performed before activation. The prompt information can be output in various forms, such as playing voice, displaying information such as images and characters on a screen, driving a prompt lamp to flash, and the like.

According to the embodiment, through outputting the prompt information, the user can be prompted to pay attention to observe the surrounding environment when the user manually controls the rearview mirror to be unfolded, and the collision risk of the rearview mirror is reduced.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, before step 201, the method further includes:

In response to detecting that the target user is located within a first zone around the vehicle, a first dwell time of the target user within the first zone is determined, step 209.

Wherein the first zone may be determined based on a preset distance value, which zone is typically arranged as a smaller zone close to the vehicle. For example, a region constituted by a range of 1m distance around the vehicle is a first region. The executing body can detect the distance between the target user and the vehicle in real time, and when the target user is detected to enter the first area, the executing body starts to record the stay time of the target user in the first area.

The above-described execution subject may determine the distance of the target user from the vehicle in various ways, for example, by means of ultrasonic radar, image recognition, or the like. In general, in order to realize real-time distance detection and reduce power consumption of a vehicle, a bluetooth detection device is disposed at a main driving position of the vehicle, and a space field of a bluetooth key is virtually generated by calibrating a position around a vehicle body, for example, the space field comprises a main driving 3m, a sub driving 3m, a front 3m, a rear 3m and four corners 3 m. The bluetooth supports 30m discernment, can manual remote control unblock in the 30m, and when bluetooth key was close to 3m within range, can request the safety key to bluetooth detection device to send out the signal, bluetooth detection device confirms the distance according to signal transmission time. The Bluetooth key always transmits a signal in a low-power consumption mode, and a Bluetooth detection device in the automobile monitors the signal in real time. When it is detected that the bluetooth key enters the space field and is within 1m from the vehicle, it is determined that the target user enters the first area.

Step 210, if the first residence time is greater than or equal to the first preset time, controlling the vehicle to unlock.

For example, the first preset time may be 1s, that is, the target user stays in the area close to the vehicle for more than 1s, that is, it may be determined that the target user has the boarding intention, and at this time, the unlocking of the vehicle is automatically controlled.

According to the method and the device for automatically and accurately judging the get-on intention of the target user by setting the first area around the vehicle, the vehicle is accurately unlocked, and the convenience of the user in using the vehicle is further improved.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, before step 209, the method further includes:

in response to detecting that the target user is located in the second area around the vehicle, the door lock of the vehicle is set to an activated state, step 211.

The distance between the outer boundary of the second area and the vehicle is greater than that between the outer boundary of the first area and the vehicle, and the second area does not contain the first area.

As an example, the boundary of the second area may be the boundary of the spatial field of the bluetooth key described in the example given in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 6 above, i.e. the boundary delimited at a distance of 3m from the vehicle. Or the boundary of the second region may be the boundary of the 3m spatial field extending a distance outwards.

As shown in fig. 8, a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship of the first region and the second region of the present embodiment is shown. The region included in the outer boundary of the second region may include the first region, and a region between the outer boundary and the boundary of the first region is the second region. When the target user is detected to enter the area, the door lock can be set to be in an activated state, and in the activated state, the door lock controller, namely the door lock, is electrified and ready to receive the unfolding instruction at any time.

Step 212, determining a second residence time of the target user in the second zone.

And when the execution subject detects that the target user enters the second area, the execution subject starts to record the stay time of the target user in the second area.

And 213, if the second residence time is greater than or equal to the second preset time, setting the door lock to be in an inactive state.

As an example, the second preset time is 5s, that is, the residence time of the target user in the second area exceeds 5s, it is determined that the target user does not have the intention to get on the vehicle at present, and at this time, the door lock is set to an inactive state, that is, the door lock controller and the door lock are controlled to be powered down.
