The control method of the vehicle steering wheel provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a control system of a vehicle, wherein the control system in the vehicle can be communicated with devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle or other communication devices through a network or a bus. Further, the control method of the vehicle steering wheel can also be applied to a control system in the vehicle steering wheel. Preferably, the control method of a steering wheel of a vehicle is applied to a steering wheel of an automobile.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a vehicle interaction method is provided, which is described by taking an example of the method applied to a control system in a steering wheel of a vehicle, and includes:

s101: and controlling a steering wheel of the vehicle to enter a non-driving mode.

S102: and switching the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to a first pattern, wherein the first pattern indicates the functions corresponding to the keys in the vehicle steering wheel after entering a non-driving mode.

Wherein the non-driving mode is an interactive mode in which the vehicle steering wheel implements a mode of interaction that is distinct from the driving mode in the vehicle. Illustratively, the non-driving mode may implement functions for the vehicle steering wheel related to in-vehicle entertainment mode (gaming, audio-visual). I.e. the user realizes entertainment functions or other functions through interaction with the vehicle steering wheel. The non-driving mode refers to a control mode as opposed to the driving mode of the vehicle, i.e. the corresponding device and/or mechanism in the vehicle steering wheel is set not to perform a function related to the actual vehicle driving but to perform another function. These other functions may be a vehicle game function, a vehicle audio/video function, or a simulated driving function.

The indication pattern is a pattern indicating functions of keys in a steering wheel of the vehicle. The indication pattern may be presented on the surface of the key or in the vicinity of the key, for example: the indication pattern may be provided at a position where the function of the corresponding key can be intuitively indicated, such as a left side, a right side, an upper side, or a lower side of the key. Specifically, an LED lamp may be disposed below the key, and different indication patterns may be presented by the LED lamp. Alternatively, a display screen through which the indication pattern is displayed may be provided at a corresponding position of a key of the steering wheel of the vehicle (key surface or vicinity of the key). Preferably, the display screen may be an OLED display screen. The display screen may be provided for each key, or may be shared by at least two keys. Further, the display of the indication pattern may be performed by projection, and the projection image may be projected to a position corresponding to a key of the steering wheel of the vehicle (a key surface or a vicinity of the key). Alternatively, in the vehicle steering wheel, each key has a corresponding indication pattern to indicate the function of the key, or some keys have a corresponding indication pattern to indicate the function of the key and some keys do not have a corresponding indication pattern to indicate the function of the key.

The first pattern indicates a function corresponding to a key in the vehicle steering wheel after entering a non-driving mode. In which the keys in the vehicle steering wheel can perform different functions in the driving mode and in the non-driving mode. It can be understood that each key has a corresponding first pattern, that is, the first pattern corresponding to each key may be the same or different, and may be specifically set according to an actual function or requirement. In the keys of the vehicle steering wheel, each key is correspondingly presented with a corresponding indication pattern for indicating the function corresponding to the key. Alternatively, the indication pattern may be a letter or a symbol, etc. As shown below, the following indication patterns correspond to functions in which each indication pattern indicates a corresponding key in the driving mode of the vehicle:

indication pattern +: adding the volume;

indication pattern-: decreasing the volume;

In this embodiment, controlling the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode may be setting the corresponding device and/or mechanism in the vehicle steering wheel to not perform a function related to actual vehicle driving. Illustratively, keys in the vehicle's steering wheel, the steering wheel itself, vibration devices, voice devices, and atmosphere lights, among others. It is understood that the controlling of the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode may be controlling of some devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode, or may be controlling of all devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode. For example, only the keys in the vehicle steering wheel may be controlled to enter a non-driving mode, while other devices and/or mechanisms in the vehicle steering wheel also perform functions related to the driving mode. Further, it is also possible to enter the non-driving mode for a part of the keys in the steering wheel of the vehicle to be controlled, while the keys not entered into the driving mode still remain performing the functions related to the driving mode.

In one embodiment, the vehicle steering wheel is a detachable steering wheel, i.e. the vehicle steering wheel comprises a detachable part, which is a part that can be detached from the vehicle steering wheel to perform a specific function. For example, a device including a key portion may be removed from a steering wheel of a vehicle as a control handle. In this embodiment, the non-driving mode may be entered for controlling a detachable component in a steering wheel of the vehicle. I.e. the detachable part alone performs and distinguishes the relevant function from the driving mode. At this time, the detachable component can be connected and interacted with other equipment independently to realize a specific interaction function, and other parts of the steering wheel are used for controlling the driving mode. Illustratively, the detachable component can be connected with a display device, a user can operate the detachable component to realize entertainment function, the detached component is used as a game handle, and the steering wheel is also used for steering control of a vehicle driving mode.

In one embodiment, the control method of a steering wheel of a vehicle further includes: and if the exit instruction is received, controlling the vehicle steering wheel to return to the driving mode. The exit instruction can be triggered by a key on the vehicle steering wheel, that is, after the user performs a preset operation action (clicking, long pressing) on the key, the vehicle steering wheel is controlled to return to the driving mode. Alternatively, the exit instruction may be sent to the vehicle steering wheel by other interactive devices, and the vehicle steering wheel controls the vehicle steering wheel to return to the driving mode after receiving the exit instruction. Illustratively, a user, by interacting with a display device in the vehicle, instructs the vehicle steering wheel to exit the non-driving mode, which in turn triggers generation of the exit instruction to the vehicle steering wheel.

In this embodiment, the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel is switched to the first pattern, which may be the indication pattern of all the keys in the vehicle steering wheel switched to the first pattern, or the indication pattern of some of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel switched to the first pattern. Specifically, the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel whose functions have changed is switched to the first pattern, while the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel whose functions have not changed remains unchanged. Or switching the indication patterns of all the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to a first pattern, wherein the first pattern comprises the keys with changed functions and the keys without changed functions. For the key with unchanged function, the corresponding first pattern may be the same as the indication pattern in the driving mode, or for the key with unchanged function, the pattern may be kept unchanged but distinguished by different colors. In one embodiment, the indication patterns of the keys in the different modes (driving mode and non-driving mode) may appear in different colors.

Alternatively, the first pattern may be a character or a symbol. Illustratively, the function of the corresponding key is indicated by words, such as: running, accelerating, attacking, jumping, etc. Optionally, the user may implement the function definition of the key through interaction with the vehicle. For example, a user implements a functional definition of a key in the vehicle steering wheel by manipulating a center PAD on the vehicle. Further, the user can also select or customize the indication pattern of the key. In a specific embodiment, the indication patterns may be displayed simultaneously or sequentially, and may be specifically defined and implemented by a user in advance.

In the embodiment, the non-driving mode is entered by controlling the vehicle steering wheel, and the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel is switched to the first pattern, wherein the first pattern indicates the functions corresponding to the keys in the vehicle steering wheel after entering the non-driving mode. The vehicle steering wheel can be adapted to different operation modes (driving mode and non-driving mode), and interaction modes of a user and a vehicle are enriched on the premise of not increasing extra hardware cost and space. And moreover, the indication patterns of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel are switched, so that the functions of the current keys are accurately presented, the user is better indicated and reminded, misoperation of the user is prevented, and the convenience of interaction between the user and the vehicle is further improved.

In one embodiment, the controlling the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode comprises:

and controlling a target key group in a vehicle steering wheel to enter a non-driving mode, wherein the target key group is all or part of keys in the vehicle steering wheel which are pre-associated with the non-driving mode.

Specifically, the keys in the vehicle steering wheel that need to be used in the non-driving mode, the set of which constitutes the target key group, may be set in advance. It will be appreciated that the target key set may comprise all or part of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel, and may be specifically set as required by the particular non-driving mode.

In one embodiment, the control method of a steering wheel of a vehicle further includes: the set of drive keys in the vehicle's steering wheel is maintained in the driving mode. In this embodiment, in the vehicle steering wheel, the other keys (i.e., the driving key group) than the target key group may be kept in the driving mode, i.e., perform functions related to actual vehicle driving. Therefore, the keys in the vehicle steering wheel can be effectively utilized to the greatest extent, and convenience and intellectualization of interaction between a user and a vehicle are reflected.

In one embodiment, after the controlling the target key group in the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode, the control method of the vehicle steering wheel further includes:

and switching the indication pattern of the key with the defined function in the target key group to a first pattern, and switching the indication pattern of the key without the defined function in the target key group to a default pattern, wherein the default pattern indicates that the corresponding key has no defined function, and the first pattern and the default pattern present different colors.

In the non-driving mode, the keys in the target key group may be defined in advance for control in the non-driving mode, but a specific function of each key may be defined functionally. Therefore, in this embodiment, the indication pattern of the key with the function definition already performed can be switched to the first pattern, and the indication pattern of the key without the function definition in the target key group can be switched to the default pattern, so as to better indicate the states of different keys of the user, thereby facilitating the user to better perform the operation. Further, the first pattern and the default pattern exhibit different colors. Therefore, the user can more intuitively know the use condition of the keys in the target key group, and can adjust the key according to personal needs or habits (the keys which are not subjected to function definition are subjected to function definition), so that the user experience is greatly improved.

In one embodiment, the indication pattern of the other keys than the target key group (i.e., the driving key group) is in a different color than the first pattern and the default pattern. That is, the indication pattern on the steering wheel of the vehicle shows three colors, which correspond to the key with the defined function in the target key group, the key without the defined function in the target key group, and other keys except the target key group. Therefore, the keys with different types and different functions can be more clearly and intuitively distinguished for the user.

In one embodiment, after the controlling the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode, the control method of the vehicle steering wheel further includes:

generating a control instruction in response to a first operation behavior of a user on a key in a steering wheel of the vehicle; and controlling a control object in a display interface of the interactive display equipment to execute a corresponding action according to the control instruction.

Specifically, the first operation behavior may be an operation of clicking (single click, double click, or the like), long pressing, sliding, or the like on a key. After a user generates a first operation behavior on a certain key in the vehicle steering wheel, a control system of the vehicle steering wheel triggers generation of a control command. Different control instructions are configured for different keys in the vehicle steering wheel in advance, and after detecting which key receives a first operation behavior of a user, the control instruction corresponding to the key is triggered and generated.

The display interface is an interface arranged in the interactive display device in the vehicle. Alternatively, the display interface may be an interface of a PAD in the vehicle, an interface of a smart terminal accessed by a third party, an electronic rearview mirror or an interface of other additionally arranged display devices.

The control object is a virtual control object displayed in the display interface. For example, in an in-vehicle game, the control object in the display interface may be a character, a vehicle, an animal or other virtual object that needs or can be controlled displayed in the display interface. The action performed by the control object may be to move, to make a pre-specified action, or to set other actions in advance. For example, the virtual character in the display interface may be controlled to perform actions such as forward, backward, jumping, squatting, moving left, moving right, punching a fist, throwing, or the like, or the vehicle in the display interface may be controlled to perform actions such as forward, backward, turning left, turning right, braking, or the like. Specifically, the functions of the keys in the steering wheel of the vehicle are set or defined in advance. Illustratively, after a user clicks a key corresponding to the forward function, a corresponding control instruction is generated, the control instruction instructs the control object to perform a forward action, and then the control object in the display interface is controlled by the control instruction to execute the "forward" action.

In the embodiment, after the vehicle steering wheel is controlled to enter the non-driving mode, a control instruction is generated by responding to a first operation behavior of a user on a key in the vehicle steering wheel; and controlling a control object in a display interface to execute a corresponding action according to the control instruction. The interactive experience of the user under the non-driving mode can be realized through carrying out between vehicle steering wheel and the vehicle, the function of vehicle steering wheel has been richened, the diversification and the intellectuality of vehicle steering wheel button function have been embodied.

In one embodiment, in the non-driving mode, a user plays a combat game through the vehicle steering wheel and a display interface. As shown in fig. 5, the keys in the steering wheel of the vehicle now implement functions that are not relevant to the driving mode. The key functions are defined as follows: the front, back, left and right represent which direction to walk, and pressing the L button represents running in the current direction. The R key is pressed down, the player immediately arrives near the player to carry out close combat attack, A, B, X and Y are corresponding attack modes respectively, the functions of a common game handle are reserved, and the player is more in line with the operation habits of users. And the user can play games at any time in the vehicle, the effect of the gamepad can be achieved through the key combination multiplexing on the steering wheel of the vehicle, and other keys or parts do not need to be added in the vehicle when other external equipment is not needed.

receiving a control mode switching instruction, and controlling a vehicle steering wheel to enter a non-driving mode according to the control mode switching instruction, wherein the control mode switching instruction is generated by triggering after the current state of the vehicle is determined to meet a preset safety condition.

The current state of the vehicle may be the current state of the vehicle. Alternatively, the current state of the vehicle includes an abnormal state (presence of a failure), an inactivated state, a manual driving state, an assisted driving state, an automatic driving state, or the like. Optionally, the current state of the vehicle may be obtained by monitoring the state of the corresponding device and/or mechanism inside the vehicle, and by monitoring the state of the device and/or mechanism, the current state of the vehicle may be determined more quickly and conveniently. The preset safety condition may be that the vehicle is in an un-started state or that the vehicle is in an autonomous driving state. Optionally, the preset safety condition may further include that the vehicle is in a driving-assist state. In one embodiment, if the vehicle is in an abnormal state, and the part in the abnormal state does not affect the function implementation of the related device in the non-driving mode of the vehicle, it can be determined that the current state of the vehicle meets the preset safety condition.

In one embodiment, the safety condition is set to a vehicle not being started. The current state of the vehicle can be determined by monitoring the speed of the vehicle, and is determined to meet the preset safety condition when the speed of the vehicle is less than or equal to 3 km/h. And when the speed of the vehicle is more than 3km/h, the current state of the vehicle is determined not to meet the preset safety condition. Further, a prompt "the current vehicle speed > 3km/h, no non-driving mode may be entered" may be made in a display device in the vehicle.

The control mode switching instruction is generated by triggering after the current state of the vehicle is determined to accord with the preset safety condition. Specifically, the control mode switching instruction may be generated by triggering a control system of a vehicle steering wheel after learning that the current state of the vehicle meets a preset safety condition, or generated by triggering other devices in the vehicle after determining that the current state of the vehicle meets the preset safety condition, and sent to the control system of the vehicle steering wheel. And after receiving the control mode switching instruction, the control system of the vehicle steering wheel controls the vehicle steering wheel to enter a non-driving mode according to the control mode switching instruction.

In the embodiment, the control mode switching instruction is used for indicating to control the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode, so that the flexibility of mode switching of the vehicle steering wheel is better ensured, and the control mode switching instruction is generated by triggering after the current state of the vehicle is determined to meet the preset safety condition, so that the function diversification of the vehicle steering wheel is further realized on the premise of ensuring the safety of users and vehicles.

In one embodiment, before receiving the control mode switching instruction, the control method of the vehicle steering wheel further includes: in response to a preset operation by a user, a vehicle state detection request is sent to a control system of the vehicle. The preset operation of the user can be that the user enters a non-driving mode by operating a central control PAD, an instrument or a mobile phone (through bluetooth) of the vehicle, and further triggers a detection link (detecting whether the current state of the vehicle meets a preset safety condition) for controlling a vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode. Or, the user directly controls the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode by operating the central control PAD of the vehicle, and further triggers a detection link (detecting whether the current state of the vehicle meets the preset safety condition) for controlling the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode. Further, the preset operation may also be triggered by the user by operating a specific key on the vehicle steering wheel, for example, the user triggers a detection link for controlling the vehicle steering wheel to enter the non-driving mode (detecting whether the current state of the vehicle meets a preset safety condition) by pressing, clicking, and sliding a preset mode switching key on the vehicle steering wheel. After the user triggers the preset operation, a vehicle state detection request is sent to a control system of the vehicle to learn the current state of the vehicle. Further, after detecting the current state of the vehicle, the control system of the vehicle may directly return the current state of the vehicle to the control system of the vehicle steering wheel, and the control system of the vehicle steering wheel further determines whether the current state of the vehicle meets a preset safety condition. Or the control system of the vehicle detects the current state of the vehicle, further judges whether the current state of the vehicle meets the preset safety condition, and sends a control mode switching instruction to the control system of the vehicle steering wheel if the current state of the vehicle meets the preset safety condition.

In one embodiment, the non-driving mode includes at least one vehicle entertainment mode.

Wherein the vehicle entertainment mode is a specific non-driving mode. The vehicle entertainment mode may be different types of non-driving modes, for example, a vehicle audio and video mode and a vehicle game mode, where the non-driving mode includes two vehicle entertainment modes (a vehicle audio and video mode and a vehicle game mode). Further, the vehicle entertainment modes may also represent different specific vehicle games, i.e., each vehicle game represents a vehicle entertainment mode. Such as racing games, fighting games, shooting games, russia, etc., each game representing a mode of vehicle entertainment. Since the key functions of the steering wheel of the vehicle may be different in different games, different entertainment modes of the vehicle may be divided according to different games.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, after the switching the indication pattern of the key in the vehicle steering wheel to the first pattern, the method for controlling the vehicle steering wheel further includes:

s201: and receiving an entertainment mode switching instruction, and switching a key in the vehicle steering wheel to a function corresponding to a target entertainment mode, wherein the target entertainment mode is the vehicle entertainment mode indicated by the entertainment mode switching instruction.

S202: switching the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to a second pattern, wherein the second pattern indicates the function to which the keys in the vehicle steering wheel correspond in the target entertainment mode.

Wherein the entertainment mode switching instruction is generated by triggering in the interaction process of the user and the vehicle. Specifically, when a user needs to switch a specific vehicle entertainment mode in the interaction process with a vehicle, the user is triggered through a preset operation mode, for example: the user can realize the switching of the vehicle entertainment mode through the interaction with the central control PAD, the switching of the vehicle entertainment mode can be realized through the touch operation of the central control PAD, and after the central control PAD receives the action of the user on the switching of the vehicle entertainment mode, an entertainment mode switching instruction is generated and sent to a control system of a vehicle steering wheel. Alternatively, the user may interact directly with the vehicle steering wheel, switching to the vehicle entertainment mode being performed via a key on the vehicle steering wheel, for example, by long pressing, clicking, sliding, or otherwise manipulating a particular key in the vehicle steering wheel to trigger the switching to the vehicle entertainment mode. The vehicle steering wheel then receives the entertainment mode switch command. Illustratively, if the MODE key in the vehicle steering wheel is pressed for more than 3S, the entertainment MODE switching instruction is triggered to be generated, and the functions of the keys of the vehicle steering wheel are instructed to be switched.

The target entertainment mode is the vehicle entertainment mode indicated by the entertainment mode switching instruction. The non-driving modes include at least one vehicle entertainment mode, and the vehicle triggers generation of the entertainment mode switch command when a user selects a particular vehicle entertainment mode to enter during user interaction with the vehicle, the entertainment mode switch command indicating the vehicle entertainment mode selected by the user. And after receiving an entertainment mode switching instruction, the control system of the vehicle steering wheel switches the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to the functions corresponding to the target entertainment mode. In different vehicle entertainment modes, different functions may be pre-configured for the keys in the vehicle steering wheel, so that different functions may be pre-configured for the keys in the vehicle steering wheel for different vehicle entertainment modes, and thus, when a user selects a specific vehicle entertainment mode (target entertainment mode), the keys in the vehicle steering wheel are also switched to the function corresponding to the target entertainment mode.

Further, switching the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to a second pattern, wherein the second pattern indicates the function corresponding to the keys in the vehicle steering wheel in the target entertainment mode. Specifically, the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel whose functions have changed is switched to the second pattern, while the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel whose functions have not changed remains unchanged. Or switching the indication pattern of all the keys in the vehicle steering wheel to a second pattern, wherein the second pattern comprises the keys with changed functions and the keys without changed functions. For the key with unchanged function, the corresponding second pattern may be the same as the indication pattern before switching, or for the key with unchanged function, the pattern may be kept unchanged, but distinguished by different colors. In one embodiment, the indication patterns of the keys in the different non-driving modes may appear in different colors, i.e. the first pattern and the second pattern may be distinguished by different colors. Alternatively, the second pattern may be a letter or a symbol, etc. Illustratively, the function of the corresponding key is indicated by words, such as: running, accelerating, attacking, jumping, etc.

In this embodiment, at least one vehicle entertainment mode is included in the non-driving mode, and after receiving an entertainment mode switching instruction, the keys of the vehicle steering wheel can be controlled to switch to the functions corresponding to the target entertainment mode, so that timely adaptation to the operation and control of different vehicle entertainment modes in the non-driving mode can be realized, diversified operation and control modes of different vehicle entertainment modes can be met, and the indication pattern of the keys in the vehicle steering wheel is switched to the second pattern to indicate the functions corresponding to the keys in the vehicle steering wheel in the target entertainment mode.

In one embodiment, after receiving the entertainment mode switching instruction, the control method of the vehicle steering wheel further includes: and controlling an atmosphere lamp of the vehicle steering wheel to work in a mode corresponding to the target entertainment mode.

The atmosphere lamp is arranged in the vehicle steering wheel, and can be preset to be turned on or flash in a preset mode when a specific mode is switched, so that a user can be intuitively reminded. Alternatively, different atmosphere lamp colors, different lighting patterns, or different blinking patterns may be set in advance for different vehicle entertainment modes. The user can define the working modes of the atmosphere lamps corresponding to different vehicle entertainment modes in advance. Alternatively, different modes of operation of the ambience light may be set by default for different vehicle entertainment modes, and then the user may make custom adjustments.

Furthermore, the working mode of the atmosphere lamp can be correspondingly adjusted along with the change of an interactive scene, the emotion of the user or background music in a specific vehicle entertainment mode, so that the interaction with the user can be better realized, and the interactive experience between the user and the vehicle can be improved.

In the embodiment, the atmosphere lamp of the vehicle steering wheel is controlled to work in a mode corresponding to the target entertainment mode, so that the switching of the vehicle entertainment mode can be prompted more intuitively, and the interactive experience of a user and a vehicle can be increased.
