All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
Systems in the fields of automatic driving, robots and the like generally relate to a plurality of sensor node devices, each node device cooperates in real time, a series of time-sensitive tasks can be completed only under the condition of accurate and reliable synchronous time, for example, data can be synchronously acquired through more than two sensor devices, fusion calculation can be performed to obtain a correct calculation result, such tasks require that each sensor node device has a synchronous and accurate clock, and the clock of a sensor node can be obtained through time service. In a multi-sensor node system like an automatic driving system or a robot, the occupation ratio of the processing tasks is high, so that the accurate and reliable time service of the nodes is particularly important. In some time service modes in the prior art, if a network time service mode is high in delay and limited in resources, the requirements of a multi-node system on high promptness and high real-time performance of time service tasks cannot be met, and a wireless remote time service mode is easily influenced by signal strength, limited in resources and high in cost, so that the requirements of the multi-sensor node system on time service under large-scale application conditions are difficult to meet.

Example one
Referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a time service device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the time service device 100 may include: a clock unit 110, a processor 120, and a sensor adaptation unit 130; a data bus 1301 may be included in the sensor adaptation unit 130; the clock unit 110 is configured to provide a clock signal to the processor 120; the processor 120 is configured to generate a time synchronization signal according to the current system time, and send the time synchronization signal to a device to be timed, connected to the sensor adaptation unit 130, through the bus 1301; the data bus 1301 is used for providing data transmission connection for the processor 120 and the to-be-timed equipment connected to the sensor adapting unit 130; and the sensor adapting unit 130 is used for connecting the to-be-timed equipment. During specific work, the clock unit 110 is configured to provide an accurate clock signal for the processor 120 to ensure accuracy of system time, the processor may read current system time and generate a time synchronization signal according to the current system time, and the processor 120 may send the time synchronization signal to a device to be timed connected to the sensor adapting unit 130 through the data bus 1301 which plays a role in connection and data transmission, so that the device to be timed corrects its system time according to the time synchronization signal.
In a multi-sensor node system, firstly, a device to be timed can comprise a plurality of sensor nodes which need timing, which means that for the multi-sensor node system, a timing task is relatively heavy, especially for safety, the timing task in the system is often required to continuously run, and the traditional timing mode is difficult to meet the requirement; secondly, for the sensor devices used by different sensor device nodes, due to the design difference of the providers to the product interfaces and the technical index requirements in practical application, different types of sensor devices, even the same type of sensor devices, often use different types of interfaces. When considering that time service is used to obtain accurate time to complete some time-sensitive tasks, the existing time service mode is difficult to provide a product which can be universally used for various sensor interfaces, but a single time service interface form, such as an interface specified by an ethernet time service protocol, cannot be adopted due to the defects of insufficient resources and high time consumption, and the obvious defect is that the selection of sensor equipment is limited, and the direct result can be that some high-quality components cannot be used to build a more competitive system, even under some conditions, some technical indexes are difficult to achieve, so that the calculation cannot be completed, and the corresponding functions of part of the system cannot be realized. The preferred scheme of the time service device provided by the embodiment of the application solves the problems just well.
In a preferred embodiment, the timing device may comprise two or more sensor adapter units, for example, in the timing device shown in fig. 1, in addition to "sensor adapter unit 1", there may be "sensor adapter units 2", … … up to "sensor adapter unit N", where N is a natural number. The time service device can comprise two or more than two sensor adaptation units, the problem of continuous operation of time service tasks brought by multiple sensor equipment nodes can be well solved, and the requirement of frequent time service of the multiple sensor equipment nodes is met. In addition, each sensor adaptation unit can be provided with adaptation interfaces of the same or different types, the adaptation interfaces are matched with the interfaces of corresponding to-be-timed equipment, when the equipment interfaces used by each transmission equipment node in the system are different types of interfaces, the time service device can be matched with the to-be-accessed sensor equipment through the adaptation interfaces of the different types when time service operation is needed, and time synchronization signals are transmitted through buses in the time service device, so that the time service operation of the to-be-timed sensor equipment node is realized. When the sensor adapter units respectively include different types of adapter interfaces, each sensor adapter unit may also include different types of data buses, and the type of the data bus in each sensor adapter unit has a corresponding relationship with the type of the adapter interface, for example, the data bus 1301 may include USB, UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, and other types of digital buses, and accordingly, the sensor adapter units may provide corresponding types of adapter interfaces so as to match the types of the interfaces of the accessed sensor node devices and the technical indexes. In practical applications, a plurality of sensor adaptation units and a processor can also be connected by using a shared bus.
When the time service device specifically realizes time service to a certain device node, the processor 120 may send the time synchronization signal to a device to be time-serviced connected to the sensor adaptation unit through a data bus, and the device to be time-serviced may determine a clock correction parameter of the device to be time-serviced according to the arrival time of the time synchronization signal and the correct time included in the time synchronization signal, and then correct the clock of the sensor node device according to the determined clock correction parameter. In another embodiment, in order to enable the device to be timed to process the time synchronization task in time when receiving the time synchronization signal, an interrupt triggering mode may be adopted. The processor 120 may include an interrupt signal in a time synchronization signal sent to a device to be timed connected to the sensor adapting unit 130, specifically, the processor 120 may include a first interrupt signal and a synchronization data signal in the generated and sent time synchronization signal, where the first interrupt signal is sent to the device to be timed, so that the device to be timed generates an interrupt process, the synchronization data signal may include a current system time, and after the device to be timed generates an interrupt process according to the first interrupt signal, the local time of the device to be timed is calibrated according to the current system time in the synchronization data signal. The processor 120 may send out the first interrupt signal and the synchronous data signal synchronously, so that the device to be timed synchronizes the first interrupt signal and the synchronous data signal to capture and process. The sensor adapter unit 130 may include an interrupt output 1303, and the first interrupt signal may be sent to the accessed device to be timed through the interrupt output 1303 of the sensor adapter unit.
Under the embodiment that the time synchronization signal comprises a first interrupt signal and a synchronization data signal, the time service device can send the synchronization data signal to the accessed to-be-serviced device through the data bus, and the synchronization data signal comprises the current system time of the time service module
Figure BDA0001973814490000081
Meanwhile, a first interrupt signal is sent through the interrupt output, the device to be timed receives the first interrupt signal, and the local time of the device to be timed can be determined according to the arrival time of the first interrupt signal
Figure BDA0001973814490000084
By comparing the received current time of the system
Figure BDA0001973814490000082
And the local time of the device when the first interrupt signal arrives
Figure BDA0001973814490000083
And determining a clock correction parameter of the device to be timed so that the device to be timed compares the local time of the device to be timed according to the clock correction parameter to correct.
The processor 120 may periodically send a time synchronization signal to the device to be timed connected to the sensor adapter unit 130 at a preset frequency, for example, 1Hz, so that the device to be timed can continuously obtain time correction, ensure the accuracy of the clock of the sensor node device, and further obtain data with a correct time stamp based on the accurate clock to supply the data to the relevant computing unit for effective computation.
The time service device provided in the first embodiment of the present application may further receive a clock feedback signal of the sensor node device, and determine a clock state of the sensor node device according to the clock feedback signal of the sensor node device. In this embodiment, the processor 120 may be further configured to receive a clock feedback signal of the device to be timed connected to the sensor adapter unit, and determine a clock state of the device to be timed according to the received clock feedback signal. Further, the processor 120 may also feed back the clock status of the sensor node device to the host, where the host may be an upper computer, and may be responsible for processing various data obtained by the lower computer and controlling the operation of the lower computer, and the host may react according to different clock statuses of the sensor node device after receiving the clock status of the sensor node device, for example, when finding that the clock status of the sensor node device is out of an allowable error range, force the node device to time, or record and generate a report about the node device, and the like.
Specifically, when receiving a clock feedback signal of the sensor node device, the processor 120 may receive a clock feedback signal of a device to be timed connected to the sensor adaptation unit, where the clock feedback signal may include a current device time of the sensor node device, and the processor may obtain an offset of the current device time according to an arrival time of the clock feedback signal, and determine whether a clock state of the sensor node device is normal according to the offset. In another implementation, the interrupt-based implementation is also possible, in which the clock feedback signal may include a second interrupt signal and a feedback data signal, the second interrupt signal may cause the processor to enter an interrupt process, the sensor adaptation unit 130 may include an interrupt input 1302, and the second interrupt signal may be sent to the processor 120 through the interrupt input 1302 of the sensor adaptation unit.
The clock feedback signal of the sensor node equipment comprises a second interrupt signal and feedbackIn the implementation mode of the data signal, the time service device can receive a feedback data signal sent by the equipment to be time-serviced through the data bus, and the feedback data signal comprises the current equipment time of the sensor node equipment
Figure BDA0001973814490000093
Meanwhile, a second interrupt signal is received through the interrupt input, and after the processor receives the second interrupt signal, the system local time of the time service module can be determined according to the arrival time of the second interrupt signal
Figure BDA0001973814490000092
By comparing the received current time of the device
Figure BDA0001973814490000094
And system local time of arrival of the second interrupt signal
Figure BDA0001973814490000091
The clock status of the sensor node device is determined. When determining that the clock state of the device to be timed is abnormal, the processor 120 may be configured to generate clock state data of the device to be timed, and send the clock state data to the upper computer. For example when comparing the current time of the device
Figure BDA0001973814490000096
And system local time of arrival of the second interrupt signal
Figure BDA0001973814490000095
And after the difference value of the two is greater than a preset threshold value, the clock state abnormity of the sensor node equipment can be judged.

The data bus may use USB, ethernet, UART, RS232, RSR485, CAN, I2C, SPI, etc. type of bus. The data bus, the interrupt input and the interrupt output can be isolated and protected by using an optical coupler or an electromagnetic isolation chip, so that the interference between different signals sent out simultaneously is avoided. The processor can use ARM, DSP, FPGA and other types of chips. A first interrupt signal (interrupt output), a synchronous data signal; and a second interrupt signal (interrupt input), the timing relationship of the feedback data signal is shown in fig. 2. The interrupt output is used for controlling the local time of equipment generating the sensor node so as to compare the current time of the system sent through the data bus, the timeliness of the process of obtaining the correction parameter is very high, the process can be generally completed within one to a plurality of clock cycles, the clock correction precision reaches microsecond level, and the accuracy of the time service result is greatly improved. In addition, the interrupt input is used to control the system local time of the time service device to be generated, so that the determined interpolation value can accurately reflect the current clock state of the sensor node device compared with the current time of the device sent to the sensor node device through the data bus.
The time service device 100 may further include an external time service receiving module, and the external time service receiving module is connected to other external time service systems or similar time service devices to receive time services from other external time service systems such as GPS, compass, and the like or other similar time service devices.
