Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the disclosure are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the use of the terms "first", "second", and the like to describe various elements is not intended to limit the positional relationship, the temporal relationship, or the importance relationship of the elements, and such terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, a first element and a second element may refer to the same instance of the element, and in some cases, based on the context, they may also refer to different instances.

The terminology used in the description of the various described examples in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, if the number of elements is not specifically limited, the elements may be one or more. Furthermore, the term "and/or" as used in this disclosure is intended to encompass any and all possible combinations of the listed items.

At present, a common liquid crystal instrument generally divides an instrument panel into a left main area, a middle main area and a right main area, wherein the middle part often presents navigation and automatic driving information, and the left side and the right side generally have one side or two sides allowing a user to freely switch information. Switchable information generally includes: tire pressure, entertainment information (currently playing song, lyrics, album art, etc.), time, energy consumption profile (power output profile), mileage information (remaining mileage, one-way mileage, total mileage, etc.), navigation information, etc.

However, the current meter design is still influenced by the mechanical meter era, and after the content is set, if the user does not actively switch, the meter information module is very fixed. However, since the driving scene is changing, the information required by the user during driving is actually changing. If a user needs some information, the information needs to be switched manually and continuously, which is very inconvenient for a driver, and meanwhile, the instrument information style and the module need to be switched frequently, so that the user needs to continuously watch the instrument, and hidden dangers are brought to driving safety.

In order to solve the above problems, the inventor proposes a method for controlling an instrument display panel of a vehicle, which determines a driving scene where the vehicle is located through received vehicle state information, automatically switches the driving scene according to the determination result, and automatically switches information displayed by an instrument to information which is more concerned by a user in the scene, so that manual operation of the user is avoided, the efficiency of information switching is improved, user experience is improved, and potential safety hazards are avoided.

By analyzing the investigation and collection of the eye movement data of the user, the dynamic information required by the user during driving is approximately as follows:

1) a boarding stage: users usually pay more attention to basic conditions of vehicles, which mainly include information such as tire pressure, water temperature, engine speed, battery health status, vehicle health condition, whether a fault lamp is on, and the like;

2) normal smooth driving phase: the attention of a user can be focused on road environment information, the attention degree of instrument information is not high, vehicle state information such as vehicle speed, energy and tire pressure can be occasionally checked, and non-driving related content such as entertainment information can be properly paid attention to;

3) navigation scene: the user can check the navigation information at intervals, and when the user approaches the intersection or turns to the intersection, the user can pay key attention to the navigation information;

4) a traffic jam scene: the user can focus on the front congestion distance and the approximate required passing time by zooming the navigation information displayed by the central control;

5) assisted driving scenario or autonomous driving scenario: the user's attention to the dashboard may increase, the automated driving status may be viewed more frequently, and a quick understanding of the current driving status may be desired. Automatic driving or assisted driving can reduce the cognitive input of a user on a driving task to a certain extent, so that the user can pay more attention to some entertainment information such as music.

In conjunction with the above analysis, the inventors present a method of controlling a vehicle instrument display in conjunction with a scenario.

Therefore, the driving scene where the vehicle is located is judged through the received vehicle state information, the driving scene is automatically switched according to the judgment result, and meanwhile, the information displayed by the instrument is automatically switched to the information which is more concerned by the user in the scene, so that manual operation of the user is avoided, the efficiency of information switching is improved, the user experience is improved, and potential safety hazards are avoided.

The display panel in the vehicle generally includes a meter display panel of the vehicle, a display screen of an in-vehicle operation system, and the like. The instrument display panel can be a liquid crystal display panel, wherein the displayed information mainly comprises vehicle state information (such as vehicle speed, rotating speed, water temperature, oil quantity, fault reminding and the like), vehicle scene information and the like; the display screen of the vehicle-mounted operating system generally shows more entertainment information, navigation information and the like.

In some embodiments, the display panel in the vehicle may be a liquid crystal instrument display panel. The display of information on a liquid crystal instrument display panel is typically controlled by an instrument control module in the vehicle. The following description will be made of a specific embodiment of a liquid crystal instrument display panel in a vehicle as an example.

The left area 301 and the middle area 302 of the instrument can be fixed information display areas, wherein the left area 301 of the instrument can display basic vehicle information such as tire pressure, water temperature, vehicle health condition and the like in a vehicle starting stage, and can fixedly display real-time vehicle speed information in a vehicle driving stage; the middle area 302 can fixedly display the vehicle model, the surrounding scene information and the like; the right area 303 of the meter can be called a dynamic scene information display area, and the display information can be switched automatically according to the change of the driving scene. It can be understood that the area division manner of the liquid crystal instrument display panel is only an example of display area division, and the area division manner of the instrument and the position of the dynamic scene information display area can be set according to the actual situation, which is not limited herein. The "at least a portion of the display area" in the method 200 described in connection with fig. 2 is not limited to the right side area 303 shown in fig. 3, but may be any suitable display area or the entire display area of the meter display panel.

In some embodiments, in response to the vehicle powering on, the vehicle's power start module 401 will send a vehicle start signal to a scene switching module 411 embedded in the in-vehicle operating system 410; in response to receiving the signal, the scene switching module 411 determines the current driving scene as a vehicle start scene, and sends a control instruction or a control signal to the meter control module 406; meanwhile, the scene switching module 411 sends vehicle health status information (for example, vehicle abnormal information) and request information of real-time weather information to the vehicle abnormal detection module 405 and the weather module 413 in the vehicle-mounted operating system 410, so that the relevant modules send the information to the meter control module 406 respectively; the meter control module 406 performs visualization processing on the information, so that the dynamic scene information display area displays at least one of vehicle health status information, real-time weather information and greeting sentences.

Fig. 5 shows a display schematic diagram of a meter display panel in a vehicle starting scene, and by the above method, after a driving scene is switched, the dynamic scene information display area 501 can display vehicle health status information (such as vehicle abnormal information), real-time weather information, greeting sentences and the like as shown in the figure.

In some embodiments, the user may also set the information displayed in the dynamic scene information display area in the scene by himself, and select the information that is more concerned in the scene.

According to some embodiments, the status information may include a real-time vehicle speed of the vehicle, wherein determining the current driving scenario of the vehicle from the status information may include: in response to the real-time vehicle speed being greater than a first preset threshold, switching the current driving scenario to a normal driving scenario, and wherein causing at least a portion of a display area of a display panel within the vehicle to display scene information corresponding to the current driving scenario may include: causing at least a portion of the display area to display at least one of vehicle health status information, general map information, and entertainment information.

In some embodiments, when the vehicle is currently in a vehicle start-up scene, the scene switching module 411 may monitor the wheel speed sensor 402 of the vehicle in real time, so as to obtain real-time speed information of the vehicle. When the vehicle starts to run, in response to the scene switching module 511 determining that the current vehicle speed is not zero or greater than a first preset threshold (e.g., 5Km/h) through the real-time vehicle speed, the current driving scene is switched from the vehicle starting scene to a normal driving scene, and a control instruction or a control signal is sent to the meter control module 406, so that the dynamic scene information display area displays at least one of vehicle health state information (e.g., tire pressure information), conventional map information, and entertainment information.

The display information may be request information for sending corresponding information to the tire pressure sensor 404, the navigation module 414 and the entertainment module 413 in the in-vehicle operating system 410, etc. by the scene switching module 411, so that the corresponding modules send information to the meter control module 406, and then the information is visually displayed in the dynamic scene information display area by the meter control module 406.

Fig. 6A shows a display schematic diagram of a meter display panel in a normal driving scenario, and in the above method, after the driving scenario is switched, the dynamic scenario information display area 601 can display at least one of vehicle health status information (e.g., tire pressure information), general map information, and entertainment information (e.g., the dynamic scenario information display area 601 in fig. 6A displays the tire pressure information).

In some embodiments, the user may also set the information displayed in the dynamic scene information display area in the scene by himself, and select the information that is more concerned in the scene. Fig. 6B and 6C are diagrams illustrating a dynamic scene information presentation area displaying entertainment information and conventional map information, respectively. When the user sets the dynamic scene information presentation area 601 to display the entertainment information, the dynamic scene information presentation area 601 displays the entertainment information 602 as shown in fig. 6B, and when the user sets the dynamic scene information presentation area 601 to display the conventional map information, the dynamic scene information presentation area 601 displays the conventional map information 603 as shown in fig. 6C.

According to some embodiments, the state information may include a real-time location of the vehicle, a real-time vehicle speed, and road condition information corresponding to the real-time location, where the road condition information indicates whether the real-time location is congested, and determining the current driving scene of the vehicle according to the state information may include: in response to the road condition information indicating that the real-time location is congested and the real-time vehicle speed is lower than a second preset threshold, switching the current driving scene from a first driving scene to a traffic congestion scene, the first driving scene being different from the traffic congestion scene, and wherein causing at least a portion of a display area of a display panel within the vehicle to display scene information corresponding to the current driving scene may include: and displaying at least one of a real-time map of an area in which the congested road section is located and predicted transit time information in at least a part of the display area.

In some embodiments, when the vehicle is currently in a normal driving scene or a navigation scene, the scene switching module 411 may monitor the navigation module 414 in the vehicle-mounted control system 410 and the wheel speed sensor 402 of the vehicle in real time, so as to obtain a real-time position of the vehicle, a real-time speed of the vehicle, and road condition information corresponding to the real-time position of the vehicle.

In response to the scene switching module 411 determining that the current vehicle speed is lower than a second preset threshold (e.g., 15Km/h) through the real-time vehicle speed and the road condition information indicates that the vehicle is congested at the real-time location, the current driving scene is switched to a traffic jam scene and a control instruction or a control signal is sent to the meter control module 406, so that the dynamic scene information display area displays a real-time map and predicted traffic time information of an area where a congested road section is located.

The information may be request information for sending corresponding information to the navigation module 414 in the vehicle-mounted operating system 410 by the scene switching module 411, so that the navigation module 414 sends the real-time map of the area where the congested road section is located and the predicted transit time information to the meter control module 406, and then the meter control module 406 performs a visualization operation to present the information in the dynamic scene information display area.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic display diagram of the instrument display panel in a traffic jam scene, wherein, for example, the area on the right side of the instrument is a dynamic information display area 701. By the method, after the driving scene is switched, the dynamic scene information display area 701 can display the real-time map 702 and the predicted traffic time information 703 of the area where the congested road section is located.

In some embodiments, when the vehicle is currently in a traffic jam situation, the scene switching module 411 may monitor the navigation module 414 in the vehicle-mounted control system 410 and the wheel speed sensor 402 of the vehicle in real time, so as to obtain the real-time position of the vehicle, the real-time speed of the vehicle, and the traffic information corresponding to the real-time position of the vehicle.

In response to the scene switching module 411 determining that the current vehicle speed exceeds a third preset threshold (e.g., 40Km/h) through the real-time vehicle speed and the road condition information indicates that the vehicle is no longer congested at the real-time location, the current driving scene is switched from the traffic jam scene to a driving scene (e.g., a normal driving scene or a navigation scene) before the traffic jam scene, and a control instruction or a control signal is sent to the meter control module 406, so that the dynamic scene information display area displays scene information corresponding to the previous driving scene.

According to some embodiments, the state information may include an activation signal indicating activation of a first function, the first function including an autonomous driving function or a driving-assist function, wherein determining the current driving scenario of the vehicle from the state information includes: in response to receiving the start signal, switching the current driving scenario from a second driving scenario to a third driving scenario corresponding to the first function, the second driving scenario being different from the third driving scenario, the third driving scenario being an autonomous driving scenario or an assisted driving scenario, and wherein causing at least a portion of a display area of a display panel within the vehicle to display scene information corresponding to the current driving scenario comprises: at least a part of the display area is caused to display at least one of vehicle travel intention information and entertainment information.

In some embodiments, when the user turns on the automatic driving function or the auxiliary driving function of the vehicle, the automatic driving/auxiliary driving system 403 of the vehicle sends a signal for starting the automatic driving function or the auxiliary driving function to the scene switching module 411 in the vehicle operating system 410. In response to receiving the start signal, the scene switching module 411 switches the current scene to an automatic driving scene or an auxiliary driving scene, and sends a control instruction or a control signal to the meter control module 406, so that the dynamic scene information display area displays the entertainment information and the vehicle driving intention information (e.g., straight driving, upcoming lane change to left/right, acceleration overtaking, deceleration avoidance, request take-over, upcoming turn to left/right, upcoming head drop, etc.).

The information may be request information for sending corresponding information from the scene switching module 406 to the automatic driving/driver assistance system 403 and the entertainment module 412 of the in-vehicle operating system 410, so that the corresponding system or module sends the corresponding information to the meter control module 406, and then the meter control module 406 performs a visualization operation to present the information in the dynamic scene information display area.
