A method, system, human-computer interaction device and storage medium for starting a vehicle are disclosed. The present disclosure includes: automatically obtaining a default route segment along which the vehicle is to travel using a default route segment acquisition module, receiving an instruction from a user to start the vehicle; in response to receiving an instruction to start the vehicle from the user, the vehicle is controlled to start from the parking position to autonomously move along the default route segment without receiving a travel information input from the user.

Description

Method and system for starting vehicle, man-machine interaction device and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to rapid start of an autonomously driven vehicle.

Background

The field of vehicles has many shortcut functions such as keyless entry, one-key engine start, and the like. The experience improvement brought to the user by the shortcut work is much larger than the actual reduced user operation time. Thus, while each of these techniques can only provide a slight convenience to the user, user dependency is readily available.

Autonomous driving techniques are rapidly developing. There have been some studies attempting to provide convenience in the use of autonomously driven vehicles. For example, Zhuangjizhuang in application No. PCT/JP2015/053063 provides such a technique: the control unit obtains the detailed destination after the vehicle is started as long as the user first inputs a fuzzy destination to start the vehicle. In this way, autonomous driving can be started before a detailed destination is determined. The robust disclosure, while providing convenience to the user, still requires the user to enter information associated with the destination prior to vehicle start-up, such as entering a fuzzy destination or range of destinations.

Thus, improvements are still needed.

Disclosure of Invention

The present disclosure provides for a pure quick exit/quick start for a vehicle. "launch" or "activation" herein refers to the vehicle moving from a parked position (i.e., displaced relative to the road). According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a user may directly start a vehicle without an input related to a destination after entering the vehicle. And allows the user to start the journey immediately without thinking about where to go. The user may enter the destination or range of destinations to be driven to after the vehicle is started.

Specifically, the present disclosure provides a solution for initiating a vehicle to start moving in the event that no destination is entered by the user, or before any information associated with the destination (e.g., a range of destinations) is entered by the user. The present disclosure provides convenience in a step of allowing a vehicle to travel away quickly without inputting a destination input, only by requiring a user to provide an instruction related to a departure.

Herein, going out, departing, starting refers to the vehicle leaving the parking position and starting to travel.

The present disclosure relates to such a solution: the vehicle (e.g., via the processor) may determine a default route segment (i.e., a default route segment that is not manually determined). A command to receive a departure from a user may be prepared in response to the acquisition of a default route segment (e.g., a triggerable button such as "departure", "departure immediately", etc. displayed via the human-computer interaction device). Next, the vehicle may be controlled to begin moving along the determined default route segment in response to receiving a command to depart from the user.

Advantages of the present disclosure may be found in, but are not limited to, the following aspects.

According to an example of the present disclosure, a vehicle may begin to autonomously exercise immediately after receiving a user command to depart. Thus, the departure of the vehicle may omit at least the step of the user inputting destination or route information. For example, in the case where the vehicle parking point is located in a closed cell having a unique exit, the vehicle can be quickly started to drive toward the exit, and the user can set a specific destination for the period of time to drive toward the exit. For example, in the case of using a vehicle summoning function on a single lane (e.g., a user remotely sending an instruction to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to "find" the user autonomously), if the vehicle can travel away immediately in response to a start command provided by the user without receiving an input from the user such as a navigation system setting, traffic congestion of the following vehicle can be alleviated, and even a potential rear-end collision can be avoided.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a system for starting a vehicle, comprising: a default route segment acquisition module to automatically determine a default route segment that the vehicle is to travel if no travel information input is received from the user (e.g., no travel information input is received from the user after the user gets on the vehicle or after a system of the vehicle is powered on); the user interaction module is used for receiving an instruction for starting the vehicle from a user; a vehicle movement control module for controlling the vehicle to start from a parking position to autonomously move along a default route segment without receiving a travel information input from a user in response to receiving an instruction to start the vehicle from the user. The travel information input may correspond to a destination or a travel route.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method of starting a vehicle, comprising: automatically (without human intervention) obtaining a default route segment along which the vehicle is to travel using a default route segment acquisition module, receiving an instruction from a user to start the vehicle; in response to receiving an instruction to start the vehicle from the user, the vehicle is controlled to start from the parking position to autonomously move along the default route segment without receiving a travel information input from the user.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a human-computer interaction device, including: a display; a processor coupled to the display, the processor configured to: controlling the display to display a start button; automatically obtaining, without user intervention, a default route segment along which the vehicle may travel; in response to a start button displayed on the display being triggered, the vehicle is controlled to move along the determined default route segment such that the vehicle moves directly without receiving travel information input from the user.

In one example, it may be determined whether the user has just started using the vehicle. If it is determined that the user has just started using the vehicle, the display of the human-computer interaction device may be controlled to display a prompt message including a prompt that the user can set a destination after the vehicle starts moving.

The processor of the human-computer interaction device may be configured to control the display to display the departure button prior to displaying the input interface for receiving destination and/or route information input from the user. The processor of the human-computer interaction device may be further configured to control the display to display both a departure button and an input interface for receiving a destination and/or route information input from a user in the same screen.

The processor of the human interaction device may be configured to control the display to overlay a departure button over an interface for receiving destination and/or route information input from a user.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method of one or more of the various examples of the present disclosure.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a vehicle incorporating the system and/or human interaction device for starting the vehicle of the present disclosure.

The "default route segment" herein should be interpreted as a route that is self-determined by the system of the vehicle, and for a journey that implements the quick start vehicle of the present disclosure (the journey starting from the point in time when the user enters the vehicle), the route is not a route that is entered by the user after entering the vehicle and/or before starting the vehicle. That is, according to various examples of the present disclosure, the system may automatically determine a route. The vehicle may begin autonomously moving along this automatically determined route as soon as an instruction to start is received from the user.

The default route segment may not be a route associated with a particular destination. In other words, the default route segment may be any segment of road that is autonomously determined by the default route segment acquisition module before the user's input regarding the destination or route is received.

The default route segment may be determined/selected in various ways, such as (but not limited to) described in various examples of the present disclosure.

According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a security condition may be confirmed. The movement of the vehicle may be based on receiving a departure instruction from a user, and at least one safety condition is satisfied.

According to various aspects of the present disclosure, the default route segment may be changed or a default route segment along which the vehicle is to travel may be selected from one or more default route segments in response to a travel direction indication input from a user.

According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a user may be notified of a route that the vehicle will travel during a subsequent time.

The disclosure is described in conjunction with the following figures and detailed description. It should be noted that any of the following embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

Detailed Description

The vehicle of the present disclosure may be a vehicle with the ability to autonomously control the movement of the vehicle, such as an autonomously driven vehicle, a self-propelled vehicle, a fully autonomously driven vehicle, a semi-autonomous driven vehicle, and so forth.

Fig. 1A-1C illustrate a system according to an example of the present disclosure.

The system 110 of FIG. 1A may include a default route segment acquisition module 111, a user interaction module 112, and a vehicle movement control module 113. The system 110 may be integrated with other systems of the vehicle, for example, integrated into an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or other logic circuit of the vehicle. Typically, at least a portion of the system 110 may be integrated with a central processor or equivalent of the autonomously driven vehicle. The system 110 may share at least one of software, firmware, hardware, components, and/or sensors with other systems of the vehicle.

A "module" herein refers to a collection of one or more of software, firmware, hardware, components, and/or sensors included in the system 110 for implementing a particular function. The various modules may share hardware and implement corresponding functions by executing different code instructions.

The default route segment acquisition module 111 may have the capability to automatically (e.g., without user intervention) determine the path along which the vehicle is moving. In particular, during a single trip, the system 110 may automatically (e.g., by causing a processor to execute predefined program instructions) determine how the vehicle should move before the user enters information corresponding to the navigation/destination/path. The acquisition module of the default route segment is described below in connection with various examples and/or illustrations, such as via the default route segment acquisition module 111.

In one example, the only route segments available to the vehicle may be determined. The unique route segment may refer to a segment that a preceding vehicle must pass through in the vehicle traveling direction.

In one example, a unique route segment may correspond to a route that: the vehicle is only allowed to move along a particular route in a particular direction. For example, in a situation where the vehicle is located in a one-way lane. For example, in the case where the vehicle is in a two-way lane, but is used with a barrier between two lanes in opposite directions. For example, in a situation with an indicator line (such as a double solid line) between lanes for two opposite sides indicating impenetrability. In this example, the default route segment may be set to correspond to at least a portion of the next road segment in the driving direction from the vehicle parking position.

Thus, it is possible to determine whether the available travel directions of the vehicle at the parking spot are unique using the map data. If so, at least a portion of the road segment from the vehicle parking location to the node at which the vehicle is permitted to change direction may be identified as the only road segment. The node at which the vehicle is allowed to change direction may be a point on the road where one route is split into two or more routes, e.g., an intersection, etc.

It should be noted that the vehicle parking position may be a temporary parking position. A typical example is when using the "summoning function" of an autonomous vehicle (e.g., the user remotely sends an instruction to the vehicle to "find" the user autonomously), the vehicle is parked temporarily while traveling near the user to pick up the user.

In one example, it may be determined whether the vehicle has to pass a particular location, for example, based on map data. If so, determining the road section with the vehicle parking position between the specific positions as a unique road section. For example, in the case where a cell in which a vehicle is parked has a unique exit, any one of the paths between the parking position and the unique exit may be determined as a unique path segment.

As such, aspects of the present disclosure may detect a unique route and determine a default route segment to correspond to at least a portion of the unique route, upon receipt of a departure instruction from a user, the vehicle may be controlled to move along the determined default route segment immediately without requiring the user to input information relating to a subsequent movement path, such as a location and/or route.

In one example, the default route segment may be selected from a plurality of available route segments. Various aspects of the disclosure may: determining whether a unique route exists as discussed above; if the unique route exists, controlling the vehicle to move along the unique route; if it is determined that the vehicle has multiple available route segments in the next move, or the route is optional, one route segment from the multiple available route segments may be automatically selected as the default route segment.

The default route segment may be selected based on at least one of: historical route data for the identified particular user or host vehicle; data statistics relating to what direction one or more vehicles (including other vehicles than the host vehicle) are traveling from the current location; there are a number of available routes for each of a plurality of possible directions of travel starting from the current position of the vehicle (e.g., determined based on map data).

Thus, the default route segment may relate to a route previously used by the user or the host vehicle. The default route segment may be determined to correspond to at least a portion of a previously used route. For example, when the vehicle is located at a particular location, the number of times (or probability) that the user or host traveled in each direction from that particular location on at least one previous trip is detected, and a default route segment may be determined to correspond to at least a portion of the route for the direction that traveled the most number of times (or probability is highest).

And thus, the default route segment may be related to statistics of where the plurality of vehicles are heading from at a particular location. For example, a current location of the vehicle may be obtained, then statistics of where a plurality of vehicles at the current location are driven may be obtained, and the default route segment is determined to correspond to a route with a highest probability among a plurality of routes from the current location based on the statistics.

And thus, the default route segment may relate to available routes in various directions from a particular location. For example, a current location of the vehicle may be obtained, and then how many available routes may be determined for each of a plurality of directions from the current location based on the map data, and a default route segment may be determined to correspond to the direction having the most available routes.

In one example, a user may be recognized, and the determination of the default route may be based on the recognized user. The identification of the user may be achieved, for example, by sensing different seat positions, signals from different keys, a camera mounted inside the vehicle cabin, and so on. Different default route segments may be determined for different recognized users.

In one example, the determination of the default route segment may be associated with a time. For example, in the morning of a weekday, the default route segment may correspond to a direction to an office. For example, in the evening of a weekday, the default route segment may correspond to a direction to home.

In one example, both user recognition and time-based decision making may be utilized to determine that a user currently in-vehicle may be traveling to a location at a current time.

In one example, a user may preset a default route segment and may use it in a trip after the preset operation. The subsequent trip may refer to a trip during which the user does not need to input information related to the destination but only needs to provide a vehicle start instruction to directly start the vehicle to travel according to a default route segment preset by the user before the subsequent trip. In this case, the user can set the default route segment only at a specific time point, and obtain the convenience of quick vehicle start in a subsequent trip after the specific time point. That is, the user may first customize a default route segment associated with a particular location to enable quick start of the present disclosure on subsequent journeys. For example, the user may set a road segment between a particular location (e.g., a freeway entrance near a home) and a private parking space as a default road segment. During a trip (the time period of the trip being after the user sets the default route segment and not including the time at which the user sets the default route segment), the vehicle may control the vehicle to move towards the entrance of the freeway in response to an initiation command from the user after the user gets on the vehicle.

The default route segment may be determined based on locally obtained information of the vehicle. That is, the acquisition of the default route segment may not be based on data obtained from outside the vehicle in a communicative manner. For example, aspects of the present disclosure may determine whether a direction of travel or a path of a vehicle is unique based on image data captured via a camera. For example, the camera may recognize a "one-way road" marker on the road, and thus, a particular distance from the one-way road marker may be determined as a default route segment. For example, the environment captured by the camera may be analyzed and it may be determined whether only one direction of travel in the environment is available to the vehicle.

Vehicle location data and/or map data may be obtained for determining default route segments.

The information related to the vehicle location and/or the information related to the map data may be obtained from a system or component external to the vehicle. For example, the default route segment acquisition module 111 may contain or be connected to a positioning component to determine the location of the vehicle via a satellite-based positioning system such as Global Positioning System (GPS), galileo positioning system (GSNS), beidou navigation system (BDS). For example, the default route segment acquisition module 111 may contain or be connected to a communication module for communicating with systems or components outside of the vehicle (via a communication system such as a terrestrial base station-based cellular wireless network, a satellite-based wireless network, etc.) to obtain map information available to the vehicle.

The information related to the vehicle position and/or the information related to the map data may be obtained locally. For example, the system or panel may include a non-transitory storage medium to locally store map data. The information related to the vehicle position may be determined based on image information obtained via the sensor. For example, environmental features may be obtained with a camera on the vehicle and locations matching the environmental features retrieved from the map data.

It should be noted that the various examples or illustrations described above with respect to the determination of default route segments are not mutually exclusive, and rather, any two or more of these examples/illustrations may be combined with one another. Further, the "default route segment" herein includes any distance other than 0, for example, a minute distance moved when the vehicle turns around, a minute distance moved by the wheel when reciprocating to leave the parking position.

In one example, the default route segment may be determined at the end of a journey. For example, when an action of the user to get off the vehicle is detected, a default route segment available for the current location of the vehicle is determined. In this example, the confirmed default route may be stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium and obtained at the beginning of the next trip.

In one example, the default route segment may be determined after the start of the current trip. Preferably, the default route may be confirmed in response to the system being powered up. As such, the vehicle may be controlled to begin moving in rapid response to a user's start command.

In one example, for example, in the "summons" mode discussed above, various examples of the present disclosure may complete the determination of a default route during movement into proximity of the user, and may be ready to receive information from the user related to the departure when (or before) the user is picked up, e.g., ready to receive a voice command from the user, or display a "start" button on a human-machine interface.

The information related to the departure may be a user's voice command, such as the language "departure", "now departure", "start immediately" spoken by the user. In this example, various aspects of the disclosure may include a microphone to receive voice commands of a user, and may include functionality implemented by any processor or module of the disclosure to identify commands from voice information related to a departure.

Accordingly, a voice recognition module may be included for receiving the user's voice and recognizing the user's departure command.

The instruction related to the departure may be an instruction input by the user via a physical button (e.g., a departure button). The instructions related to the departure may be instructions entered by a user via virtual buttons, such as virtual buttons displayed on a display.

It should be noted that the various examples or instances of receiving a departure command from a user are not mutually exclusive from one another. In other words, the manner in which the departure command is received may be redundant. For example, the system or panel of the present disclosure may include both buttons (virtual buttons and/or physical buttons) as well as a microphone. The departure command may be received via any of a microphone or a button. Further, the present disclosure is not intended to limit the receipt of a departure command from a user to the voice mode and/or the button mode discussed above. It may be any other way of being able to receive input information from a user (human), e.g. receiving commands related to a departure from a user via gesture pattern recognition or a brain-computer interface.

Typically, in the present disclosure, the voice command from the user associated with initiating the vehicle or the button for the user to input the departure instruction may not include any information associated with the location, destination, or route. For example, information spoken by the user such as "go to gym", "start vehicle immediately to go home", or "go to XX (location)" input via the virtual button may be a start command from the user of the present disclosure. This is because at least one object or advantage of the present disclosure is to: the user is allowed to start the vehicle before determining the destination or route, thus allowing the user to start the journey immediately where to go without thinking.

Security conditions may be confirmed according to various aspects of the present disclosure. In one example, the vehicle controls movement of the vehicle in response to receiving an instruction from the user to depart and confirming that one or more safety conditions are met.

Fig. 1B illustrates a system 120 including a security condition validation module according to an example of the present disclosure. The system 120 may include a default route segment acquisition module 111, a user interaction module 112, a vehicle movement control module 113, and a safety condition confirmation module 114. The security condition validation module 114 may validate whether at least one security condition is satisfied. Movement of the vehicle may be controlled based on the confirmation of the safety condition.

The security conditions may include (but are not limited to) one or more of the following: whether all doors of the vehicle have been closed; whether the safety belt is fastened; whether the posture of the vehicle operator's seat meets safe driving regulations; whether the vehicle rearview mirror is properly oriented (e.g., whether the mirror is folded or unfolded); whether a braking component and a steering component of the vehicle are normal or not; whether the glass water of the vehicle is empty; whether the tire air pressure of the vehicle is appropriate.

In one example, the vehicle movement control module 113 may be configured to: after the safety condition confirmation module 114 determines that one or more safety conditions are satisfied, the vehicle is controlled to begin moving even though a default route segment has been obtained and a command to initiate has been received from the user. If one or more predefined safety conditions are determined to be not confirmed, the vehicle is held (i.e., not moved).

In one example, the vehicle movement control module 113 may be configured to control the vehicle to move at a speed below a predefined value before the one or more safety conditions are confirmed, even if a default route segment has been obtained and a command to start has been received from the user.

Preferably, the vehicle movement control module 113 may be configured to move the vehicle at a speed of not more than 20 km or 15 miles if the safety condition confirmation module 114 determines that the user's seat belt is not fastened.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the system 120 includes various aspects described in connection with the system 110 in addition to the various features described in connection with the security condition validation module 114.

Fig. 1C illustrates a system 130 that includes a default route segment switching module according to an example of the present disclosure. The system 130 may include a default route segment acquisition module 111, a user interaction module 112, a vehicle movement control module 113, and a default route segment switching module 115. The route segment switching module 115 may be configured to reselect and/or change a default route segment in response to a switching input from a user. Alternatively, the default route segment switching module 115 may send information to the default route segment acquisition module 111 in response to a switching input from the user to instruct the default route segment acquisition module 111 to select the default route segment again, along which the vehicle will next travel.

Thus, according to the example described in connection with system 130, the default route segment of the vehicle after startup can be changed (i.e., a default route switch). It should be noted that even if the user enters an input associated with a switch after vehicle start-up, the route along which the vehicle is traveling after this input action may still be automatically (without human intervention) determined by the default route segment acquisition module before the user enters any destination information, and thus the next route along which the vehicle is traveling may still be considered the default route segment defined by the present disclosure.

It should also be noted that "default route switching" herein refers to an instruction input by the user to cause the default route segment acquisition module to reselect the default route segment, instead of the travel information related to the destination or route input by the user before starting the vehicle. In other words, the driving direction indication may be a signal indicating in which direction the vehicle should be driven, which is input by the user after the vehicle starts moving along the default route segment. Such input by the user after the vehicle begins to move along the default route segment does not undermine such convenience of examples of the present disclosure: the vehicle can be started quickly before the user inputs information corresponding to the destination or the travel route.

At a point in time when the default route segment acquisition module changes the first default route segment to the second default route segment, the vehicle may have traveled a distance along the first default route segment (i.e., the vehicle may have completed a portion of the first default route segment) and may begin traveling along the second route in response to the user inputting the switch, e.g., via control of the vehicle movement control module that is notified by the default route segment acquisition module that the default route segment has been changed to the second default route segment.

The input from the user relating to the default route switch may correspond to at least one of: turning of the steering wheel by the user, operation of the turn signal mechanism by the user, user verbal commands relating to left or right turns.

In one example, the default route segment acquisition module 111 can initially determine a plurality of default route segments. In response to receiving a departure instruction from the user, the vehicle may be controlled to travel along a first default route segment having a highest priority among the plurality of default route segments. In response to receiving a default route switch input from the user, the vehicle may be controlled to select a second default route segment from the plurality of default route segments to travel corresponding to the switch input.

It should be noted that examples of the present disclosure may include examples that combine various features of system 120 and system 130, which are not further described herein for the sake of brevity. That is, a system according to one example of the present disclosure may include the default route segment switching module 115 and the safety condition confirmation module 114, and have the same features as the features of the various examples or examples described above in connection with fig. 1B and 1C.

FIG. 2A illustrates a human-computer interaction device 200 according to an example of the present disclosure.

The human-computer interaction device 200 may include: a display 210; a processor 220 coupled to the display 210. The processor 220 may be configured to: controls the display 210 to display a start button.

In one example, the processor 200 may be configured to control the display 210 to display a departure button prior to displaying an interface for receiving input from a user associated with destination and/or route information (e.g., a navigation interface has not been displayed), for example, if a default route segment is determined, and to cause the display 210 to display information usable by the user for input with the destination after the departure button is triggered. That is, the processor 220 may control the display 210 to display a departure button in a first screen (first screen) and then display an input interface (e.g., a destination input box of a navigation APP) for receiving an input associated with a destination and/or route information from a user in a second screen (second screen) displayed later than the first screen. The second screen may be displayed after a point in time when the vehicle is controlled to move along the default route segment for receiving an input of destination or route information from the user after the vehicle has been started. In this example, a cancel button may be displayed on the first screen that allows the user to remove the displayed trigger button from the displayed screen without triggering the start button. Further, a button indicating entry into the second screen, for example, a button displayed as "input destination" which may be a trigger of the second screen may be displayed on the first screen.

In one example, the display 210 may display the departure button directly after the human interaction device 200 is powered on. For example, the start button may be displayed in the first frame after the display 210 is powered on.

In one example, the display 210 may display a departure button when a user boarding event is detected (e.g., via a weight sensor on a seat, detection of a side-by-side door and/or a closed door).

In one example, the processor 220 may be configured to control the display 210 to display both a departure button and an information input interface for receiving destination and/or route information input from a user in the same screen. The departure button and the information input interface are distinct buttons that may be separate and the information input interface may include a decision button separate from the departure button, activation of which may instruct the vehicle to travel along a road segment related to the destination or route information entered at the information input interface. In other words, the same picture may have both: a departure button is displayed that instructs the vehicle to travel along a default route segment determined autonomously by the processor 220 (without user intervention), and a departure button that instructs the processor 220 that the user has entered information associated with the destination and/or route and that instructs the processor 220 that the vehicle can be instructed to travel along a route that is relevant to the information entered by the user.

In one example, the processor 220 may be configured to control the display 210 to display the departure button at an upper layer among the stacked layers and to display an information input interface for receiving a destination or route information input from the user at a lower layer among the stacked layers, and wherein the departure button is draggable such that the information input interface may be flipped from the lower layer to the upper layer when the departure button is dragged. The start button in the stacked layers may be displayed as semi-transparent, and the information input interface on the lower one of the stacked layers may be visible to the user through the semi-transparent start button.

In one example, the processor 200 may be configured to control the display 210 to display an additional cue bar near the departure button that may present where the vehicle may be driven once the departure button is triggered.

Fig. 2B and 2C illustrate a display 210 of one example of a human interaction device 200 according to the present disclosure. The display 210 may include a departure button 221 and prompt bars 222 and/or 224 to prompt the user that a departure is immediately possible. A cue bar may be displayed adjacent to the start button.

As illustrated in fig. 2B, the cue bar 222 may, for example, display "go away soon to travel to XX location," where "XX location" may be associated with the determined default route segment. In addition, the cue bar may also display various other contents, for example, "go right away to travel along XX road".

Further, the cue bar may also, for example, display a cue bar 224 for facilitating user entry of destination and/or route information after the vehicle begins to move along the default route segment. As shown in fig. 2C, the cue bar 224 may include "you can start the vehicle first to travel to the XX position, and set a destination during travel to the XX after the vehicle starts".

To this end, a preferred example of a human-computer interaction device incorporating the present disclosure may be provided. According to the preferred example, the display of the human-computer interaction device can be controlled to display the quick-start display screen. The quick start display may include a quick start button and a cue bar indicating where the vehicle may be driven after the quick start. The reminder bar may include reminder information (e.g., reminder bar 222) that prompts the user to set a destination during travel of the vehicle to the XX location (or along the XX road) to facilitate quick adaptation by the user to use of the quick departure function of the vehicle.

It may be determined whether the user has just started using the vehicle (i.e., it may be determined that the user is not yet familiar with the functions of the vehicle). For example, a threshold number of uses of the vehicle may be predetermined. When the threshold number of uses is below a predetermined threshold (e.g., during the nth use period after activation or delivery of the vehicle), it is determined that the user has just begun using the vehicle. For example, it may be determined whether the current user has just begun to use the vehicle based on the detection of the user characteristics, e.g., whether the current user has just begun to use the host vehicle based on one or more of: vehicle hardware setting preferences (such as seat settings, rear view mirror position settings, etc.), I D linked to the vehicle's electronics, I D logged into the vehicle's human-machine interaction device. If it is determined that the user has just started using the vehicle, the display of the human machine interaction device may be controlled to display the above-described prompt information (or prompt bar) that prompts the user to set a destination during the travel of the vehicle.

It is noted that fig. 2B and 2C are merely intended to illustrate examples of cue bars, and other contents that may be displayed are omitted for simplicity. The display 210 may display a variety of content in addition to that shown in fig. 2B and 2C, as discussed above in connection with various examples.

It is also noted that the various examples described in connection with human interaction device 200 may include the various examples described in connection with system 110. For example, processor 220 of human interaction device 200 may be configured to confirm the security condition, as described in connection with security condition confirmation module 114 of system 110. The processor 220 may be configured to control the vehicle to begin moving after the safety condition validation module 114 determines that one or more safety conditions are satisfied. The processor 220 may be further configured to prompt the user via the display 210 or a voice message to perform a corresponding operation when the one or more security conditions are not satisfied.

FIG. 3 shows a method 300 of starting a vehicle according to an example of the present disclosure. The method comprises the following steps: at S301, a default route segment along which the vehicle is to move is determined automatically (without human intervention); at S302, receiving an instruction to start a vehicle from a user; at S303, in response to receiving an instruction to start the vehicle from the user, the vehicle is controlled to start from the parking position to autonomously move along a default route segment without receiving an input of information about a destination or a route from the user.

It should be understood that the method of the present disclosure may also include features described in connection with the systems 110-130 of the present disclosure and various examples of human interaction devices 200 according to the present disclosure. For example, the method may include determining whether a safety condition is satisfied, and controlling the vehicle to start a segment based on the determination of the safety condition. For example, the method may include reselecting and/or changing the default route segment in response to a switching input from a user after the vehicle is started. For example, the method may include controlling display of the display 210 of the human interaction device 200 in the technical solutions described in connection with the various examples of the human interaction device 200.

The present disclosure also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the methods of the present disclosure.

Fig. 4 illustrates a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to an example of the present disclosure. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium 400 may store instructions to: instructions for automatically obtaining a default route segment along which the vehicle is to travel 401; instructions for receiving an indication from a user to start a vehicle 402; instructions for controlling the vehicle to start from a parked position to autonomously move along a default route segment without receiving a travel information input from the user in response to receiving an instruction from the user to start the vehicle 403.

According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a user may be notified of a route that the vehicle will travel during a subsequent time. For example, on the display, the vehicle's next form trajectory may be displayed as a line extending from the vehicle along a default route segment. For example, where the vehicle is to be driven next may be broadcast to the user in voice form.

It is well known that this description describes only a limited number of examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solutions claimed in the present application. Various changes and modifications to the illustrated examples may occur to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.
