Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding and enabling description of the invention to one skilled in the art. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to specific described embodiments. Rather, any combination of the features and elements described below is contemplated to implement the invention, whether or not they relate to different embodiments. Thus, the following aspects, features, embodiments and advantages are merely illustrative and should not be considered elements or limitations of the claims except where explicitly set out in a claim.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a flow chart of a sleep assistance method for a vehicle user is shown, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step S101, after the sleep assist function is started, a sleep start time and a sleep end time determined by a vehicle user are acquired.
Step S102, the electric quantity required for completing the sleep auxiliary function is calculated according to the sleep starting time and the sleep ending time.
Step S103, if the current electric quantity of the vehicle is not less than the electric quantity required to complete the sleep assist function, automatically adjusting the vehicle seat to a posture suitable for the sleep of the vehicle user after the sleep start time is reached and the vehicle stops traveling.
Step S104, when the sleep ending time is reached, a first prompt message is sent to the vehicle user and the sleep assisting function is ended.
The sleep assist function may be initiated in two ways:
fig. 2 shows one specific way of activating the sleep aid function. As shown in fig. 2, an onboard camera may monitor the status of a vehicle user (e.g., a vehicle driver) during vehicle travel (step 200). If the vehicle user detected by the onboard camera is drowsy (step 201), the onboard infotainment system may request the vehicle user to confirm whether to activate the sleep assist function via a human-machine interface (e.g., onboard speaker, microphone, hard key, and/or touch screen) (step 202), and activate the sleep assist function after the vehicle user confirmation is obtained (step 300).
Fig. 3 shows another specific way of activating the sleep aid function. As shown in fig. 3, when the vehicle user feels a sense of drowsiness, the vehicle may be actively required to start the sleep assist function through the human-computer interaction interface (step 203). The in-vehicle infotainment system initiates a sleep assistance function based on the active demand of the vehicle user (step 300).
Fig. 4 shows one specific way of performing the sleep assist function. As shown in fig. 4, a vehicle user may input a sleep start time and a sleep end time through a human-computer interaction interface (step 301). For example, the vehicle user may input a sleep start time of 1 point integer, a sleep end time of 5 point integer, or a sleep start time of 1 point integer, a sleep duration of 4 hours. The in-vehicle infotainment system may acquire a sleep start time and a sleep end time based on information input by a vehicle user.
After receiving the sleep start time and the sleep end time input by the vehicle user, the in-vehicle infotainment system calculates an amount of electricity required to complete the sleep assist function (step 302) and compares the amount of electricity required with a current amount of electricity of the vehicle (step 303), and if the comparison result is that the current amount of electricity of the vehicle is not less than the amount of electricity required to complete the sleep assist function, automatically adjusts the vehicle seat to a posture suitable for the sleep of the vehicle user (step 310) after the sleep start time is reached and the vehicle stops running, so as to assist the vehicle user in sleeping. And if the current electric quantity of the vehicle is smaller than the electric quantity required by completing the sleep auxiliary function, requesting the vehicle user to reenter the sleep start time and the sleep end time until the current electric quantity of the vehicle is enough to complete the sleep auxiliary function.
After determining that the current electrical quantity of the vehicle is sufficient to complete the sleep assist function (i.e., the current electrical quantity of the vehicle is not less than the electrical quantity required to complete the sleep assist function), the in-vehicle infotainment system may feed back to the vehicle user that the sleep time has been set successfully through the human-computer interaction interface. The vehicle user may begin preparation before sleeping. For example, a vehicle user may need to find a safe place to park. If the in-vehicle infotainment system monitors that the difference between the current time and the sleep onset time reaches a set threshold (e.g., five minutes), the in-vehicle infotainment system may send a prompt message to the vehicle user via a human-machine interface (e.g., in-vehicle speaker) (steps 304, 306, 307) to alert the vehicle user that the sleep onset time is about to be reached. The vehicle user may prepare for sleep before reaching the sleep onset time based on the prompt. If the vehicle-mounted information entertainment system monitors that the vehicle does not stop running when the sleep starting time is reached (step 308), the vehicle-mounted information entertainment system can send prompt information to a vehicle user through a human-computer interaction interface (step 309) so as to remind the vehicle user that the vehicle needs to stop, otherwise, the vehicle cannot continue the sleep auxiliary function.
After the sleep start time is reached and the vehicle stops traveling, the in-vehicle infotainment system automatically adjusts the vehicle seat to a posture appropriate for the vehicle user to sleep to assist the vehicle user in sleeping. The in-vehicle infotainment system may then continuously monitor the in-vehicle temperature, the in-vehicle oxygen content, the vehicle user status, and/or the vehicle charge (steps 311, 313, 314).
If an abnormality in the in-vehicle temperature and/or in-vehicle oxygen content is detected (e.g., the in-vehicle temperature is higher than a set threshold or the in-vehicle oxygen content is lower than a set threshold), the in-vehicle temperature and/or in-vehicle oxygen is adjusted by the air conditioner and/or ventilation means (step 312), and if the time for which the abnormality occurs exceeds the set threshold (e.g., 5 minutes), a prompt message is sent to the vehicle user (step 316) and the sleep assist function is ended (step 318). The prompt information may be simply alarm information (such as alarm sound), or may be used for informing the vehicle user of the reason of generating the alarm, such as informing the vehicle user that the temperature in the vehicle is too high or the oxygen content in the vehicle is too low, for example, through a voice prompt.
If an abnormality in the state of the vehicle user is detected (e.g., an anxiety or anxiety of the vehicle user is detected), a prompt is issued to the vehicle user (step 316) and the sleep assist function is ended (step 318). The notification information may be a mere warning message (e.g., an alarm sound), or may be a voice notification to inform the vehicle user of the cause of the warning, such as informing the vehicle user that an abnormal vehicle user state is detected. The in-vehicle infotainment system may also automatically send an alarm message to a relevant department (e.g., police department or hospital) if a serious abnormality in the status of the vehicle user is detected (e.g., a coma of the vehicle user is detected).
If an abnormality in the vehicle power amount is detected (e.g., an unexpected increase in the vehicle power consumption is detected to be insufficient to complete the sleep assist function), a prompt is issued to the vehicle user (step 316) and the sleep assist function is ended (step 318). The prompt information may be simply alarm information (for example, alarm sound), or may be, for example, a voice prompt to inform the vehicle user of the reason of the alarm, for example, inform the vehicle user that the power consumption of the vehicle is increased and that the sleep assisting function cannot be completed.
The in-vehicle infotainment system compares the current time to the sleep end time in real time (step 315), and upon reaching the sleep end time, the in-vehicle infotainment system may send a prompt to the vehicle user (e.g., play a get-up bell) (step 317) and end the sleep aid function (step 318).
After ending the sleep aid function, the in-vehicle infotainment system may automatically adjust the vehicle seat back to a normal state, e.g., may adjust the driver's seat back to a position suitable for driving, in order for the driver to drive the vehicle.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that only one particularly preferred manner of performing sleep assist functions is shown in fig. 4. Some of the steps in fig. 4 may be omitted (e.g., steps 304, 306, and 307) or the order of the steps (e.g., steps 311, 313, and 314) may be changed, and these modifications do not affect the implementation of the method of the present invention, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
By means of the sleep assisting method for the vehicle user, the sleep assisting function can be automatically realized according to the sleep starting time and the sleep ending time determined by the vehicle user, and therefore user experience is improved.
In the process of implementing the sleep assistance method for a vehicle user of the present invention, the remaining power of the vehicle is monitored, so the sleep assistance method of the present invention is particularly suitable for new energy vehicles, such as electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc.
