Detailed Description

Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless specifically stated otherwise.

The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses. That is, the methods and apparatus herein are shown by way of example to illustrate different embodiments of the circuits or methods in the present disclosure and are not intended to be limiting. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that they are merely illustrative of ways that the invention may be practiced, not exhaustive.

Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.

Various types of air cleaners may be provided in a vehicle in order to improve the quality of air in the vehicle. When it is detected that the quality of air in the vehicle is deteriorated, the internal circulation may be switched to the external circulation to promote fresh air outside the vehicle to enter the vehicle, or the air purifier may be started under the internal circulation and automatically switched back to the external circulation after the purification is completed, thereby securing physical health of users of the vehicle (including all persons in the vehicle, such as a driver and passengers). However, the conventional air purification is usually passive, and the vehicle cannot actively purify the air inside the vehicle according to the pollution condition of the air outside the vehicle. Also, in some cases, the opening of the external circulation may cause more serious pollution of the air inside the vehicle by the air outside the vehicle, for example, in some areas, there may be a prevalence of an epidemic of an infectious disease such as new crown pneumonia, nuclear radiation pollution due to nuclear power station accidents, etc., biochemical pollution due to fire, material leakage, etc., and the like. If the users of the vehicles unknowingly enter these risk areas and the vehicles cannot actively identify the risk areas and take corresponding measures against them, a great safety hazard may be brought about.

In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a vehicle control method, which may receive a risk alarm signal when a vehicle enters a risk area, and take corresponding measures based on the received risk alarm signal to better maintain an air environment in the vehicle, thereby protecting the health of a user.

In a first example embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, a vehicle control method may include:

and step S100, receiving a risk alarm signal.

Wherein the risk warning signal is generated based on the vehicle being in a risk area. In risk areas, there are certain types of risks including, for example, infectious disease epidemics, nuclear radiation contamination, and biochemical contamination. It is understood that in other embodiments, other types of risks that may result in air contamination in the vehicle may be present in the risk area, and is not limited herein.

The vehicle may receive the risk alert signal from a plurality of sources. For example, in some embodiments, the risk alert signal may come from the cloud. In the corresponding database in the cloud, the location information of all the risky areas may be stored. In addition, the cloud can also communicate with a vehicle with a positioning function, so that the position information from the vehicle is received. The cloud can determine whether the vehicle enters the risk area by comparing the position information of the vehicle with the position information of the risk area stored in the database. The cloud may generate and send a risk alert signal to the vehicle if it is determined that the vehicle has entered a risk zone. When the vehicle receives the risk warning signal, it can know that it is in the risk area. Wherein, the vehicle can be based on big dipper satellite navigation system, global positioning system GPS etc. and fix a position.

In other embodiments, the risk alert signal may also come from a mobile terminal accompanying the vehicle. The mobile terminal may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, etc., which moves along with the movement of the vehicle, and thus its position reflects the position of the vehicle. The mobile terminal can rely on the positioning of the mobile terminal, when the mobile terminal determines that the mobile terminal is in the risk area, the mobile terminal can correspondingly know that the vehicle enters the risk area, and therefore the vehicle can take corresponding measures to deal with the risk alarm signal generated and sent by the mobile terminal.

In still other embodiments, the risk alert signal may also be from a roadside unit (RSU). The RSU may include a high-gain directional beam-control read-write antenna, which may be a microwave transceiver module responsible for signal and data transmission/reception, modulation/demodulation, encoding/decoding, encryption/decryption, and a radio frequency controller, which may be a module for controlling transmission and reception of data and processing information transmitted and received to an upper computer, to realize identification of vehicle identity, etc. When a vehicle enters a risk zone, the RSU associated with the risk zone may generate and transmit a risk alert signal to the vehicle. In general, the RSU associated with the risk zone may be located within or near the risk zone, and as soon as it detects that a vehicle enters the risk zone, it may send a risk warning signal to the vehicle to prompt the vehicle to take corresponding countermeasures.

Returning to fig. 1, the vehicle control method of the present disclosure may further include:

step S200, isolating the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle from each other when the risk alert signal is received.

In order to avoid adverse effects on the environment inside the vehicle caused by epidemic situations, nuclear radiation, biochemical pollution and the like of infectious diseases in the risk area outside the vehicle, when the risk alarm signal is received, the internal environment of the vehicle can be isolated relative to the external environment.

In some embodiments, isolation of the interior and exterior environment may be achieved by switching the vehicle to an internal cycle and closing all doors and windows of the vehicle.

However, in some cases, if a risk warning signal is not received in time because of some special circumstances, or a certain area suddenly becomes a risk area, the user of the vehicle may not be inside the vehicle (e.g., rest outside the vehicle) when the risk warning signal is received. To cope with the above, isolating the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle from each other may include:

determining whether the vehicle is in a driving state;

if so, switching the vehicle into an internal circulation mode, and closing all doors and windows of the vehicle; and

if not, the vehicle is switched to the internal circulation, all vehicle windows of the vehicle are closed, the user is prompted to return to the interior of the vehicle, and all vehicle doors of the vehicle are closed after the user is determined to return to the interior of the vehicle.

Specifically, when the vehicle is in a running state, it can be determined that the user is inside the vehicle at this time, and therefore it is possible to directly switch the vehicle to the inner circulation and close all the doors and windows of the vehicle to isolate the internal environment and the external environment of the vehicle from each other. If the vehicle is not in a driving state, the vehicle can be directly switched into the internal circulation, all windows of the vehicle are closed, so that the influence of outside air on air in the vehicle is avoided as much as possible, a prompt is sent to enable the user to return to the vehicle, and after the user is determined to return to the vehicle, all doors are closed finally to isolate the environment in the vehicle from the environment outside the vehicle, and meanwhile, the user is ensured to be in a relatively safe environment in the vehicle.

Further, it is considered that if the user is always actively prompted and confirmed to come back into the vehicle before the door is closed, this process may cause a long time required to insulate the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle in a case where the user is not outside the vehicle, thereby causing a certain degree of pollution. Thus, in some other embodiments, isolating the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle from each other may also include:

when the vehicle is not in a running state and a confirmation door opening instruction from a user is received, the closing lock of the door of the vehicle is released, and the closing lock of the door of the vehicle is restored after the door of the vehicle is closed again.

Specifically, in such an embodiment, the vehicle may be directly switched to the internal loop and all doors and windows of the vehicle may be closed, and when the door opening confirmation instruction is received from the user, the closing lock of the doors of the vehicle may be released to enable the user to return to the vehicle, and the closing lock of the doors of the vehicle may be restored after the doors of the vehicle are closed again, so as to maximally save the time required for isolating the inside and outside environments of the vehicle.

When the user sends the door opening instruction for the first time, the user can be prompted to be in a dangerous area, and when the user sends the door opening instruction again, the second door opening instruction can be regarded as a door opening confirmation instruction, and the door closing and locking of the vehicle door is released. Alternatively, the door opening command from the outside of the vehicle of the user can be directly regarded as a door opening confirmation command, and the door closing lock of the vehicle door can be released, so that the time required for the user to enter the vehicle can be shortened.

In a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, to improve air quality in a vehicle, the vehicle control method may further include:

and step S300, controlling the vehicle to enter a risk purification mode to purify the internal environment of the vehicle when the risk alarm signal is received.

For example, at least one of a high efficiency air filter (HEPA) and a plasma scrubber may be provided in the vehicle, and in the risk decontamination mode, at least one of the HEPA and the plasma scrubber of the vehicle may be operated to decontaminate the interior air of the vehicle.

Among them, HEPA can be considered as a physical purification means. During the purification of the HEPA, the vehicle is in an internal circulation state and is cut from a general filter (for example, PM2.5 filter) to the HEPA filter, and at the same time, the blower power can be increased to accelerate the purification of pollutants in the vehicle.

In addition, the plasma purifier can be regarded as an electronic purification means. In the purification process of the plasma purifier, a vehicle is in an internal circulation state, the plasma purifier in the vehicle is started, under the action of an external electric field, a large amount of energy-carrying electrons generated by medium discharge bombard pollutant molecules to ionize, dissociate and excite the pollutant molecules, and then a series of complex physical and chemical reactions are initiated to convert complex macromolecular pollutants into simple micromolecular safe substances or convert toxic and harmful substances into substances which are non-toxic, harmless or low-toxic and low-harmful, so that the pollutants are degraded and removed.

In a third example embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the vehicle control method may further include:

and step S400, sending risk prompt information to the user when the risk alarm signal is received.

Wherein, the risk prompt information can be presented in the forms of images, videos, texts, voices and the like. In some embodiments, the risk alert information may include an alert to enter the risk area to let a user of the vehicle know that himself is already in the risk area. Alternatively, the risk alert message may include an alert to move away from the risk area as quickly as possible to encourage the user not to overtake the stay in the risk area, particularly, for example, in the case of an epidemic in the risk area, moving away from the risk area as quickly as possible also helps to keep the health code of the user in a normal state (e.g., green) without becoming abnormal (e.g., yellow or red) due to an overtime. Alternatively, the risk tip information may include a tip that the vehicle has entered a risk decontamination mode, such as showing at least one of a HEPA and a plasma decontaminator is operating. Alternatively, the risk alert information may include an indication of the type of risk present in the risk area, i.e., an indication indicating whether the risk present in the risk area is an infectious disease, nuclear radiation contamination, biochemical contamination, or the like, to help the user better understand the situation. Alternatively, the risk alert information may include an alert identifying the location and extent of the risk area on the map, i.e., the specific location and extent of the risk area may be delineated on the map to help the user better understand the condition of the risk area and plan a route to travel away from the risk area as quickly as possible.

As shown in fig. 4, in a fourth example embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle control method may also include step S100 to step S400. Further, it should be noted that, in the above embodiments, step S200, step S300 and step S400 may occur simultaneously or in different orders, and are not limited herein.

As shown in fig. 5, in a fifth example embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle control method may further include:

in step S500, when it is determined that the vehicle is driven out of the risk zone, the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle are kept isolated from each other by default.

By keeping the interior environment and the exterior environment of the vehicle isolated from each other, in particular, by keeping the doors and windows of the vehicle closed, or by keeping the doors and windows of the vehicle closed and in the inner circulation, disconcerting emotions of the user can be avoided. The vehicle carries out corresponding action until the user determines that a vehicle door or a vehicle window needs to be opened or needs to be switched to the outer circulation, so that better safety experience can be given to the user.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, isolation between the in-vehicle environment and the out-of-vehicle environment may also be released directly when determining that the vehicle is driving out of the risk zone.

As shown in fig. 6, in a sixth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle control method may further include:

and step S600, when the vehicle is determined to be driven out of the risk area, exiting the risk purification mode.

In particular, in view of the fact that HEPA and/or plasma scrubbers are generally more sophisticated, to extend their useful life, the risk scrubbing mode may be exited upon determining that the vehicle is driving out of the risk zone. Further, when the vehicle is running in the normal area, switching between a normal screen such as a PM2.5 screen and a HEPA and/or a plasma cleaner can be controlled according to the detection result of the air quality sensor mounted on the vehicle. For example, when the air quality sensor detects that the amount of PM2.5 in the vehicle is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the HEPA and/or plasma purifier may be enabled, and when the amount of PM2.5 in the vehicle is less than the preset threshold, the normal screen may be enabled.

It is understood that, based on the embodiment in fig. 3, in other embodiments, only one of the steps S500 and S600 may be executed, or the steps S500 and S600 may not be executed, and the steps S500 and S600 may be executed simultaneously or in a different order, which is not limited herein.

As shown in fig. 7, in a seventh exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle control method may further include:

step S700, when the vehicle is determined to be driven away from the risk area, a prompt that the vehicle exits the risk area is sent to the user.

By sending the prompt of exiting the risk area to the user, the condition of the current area of the user can be prompted in time, so that the user can conveniently perform other actions.

It is understood that, based on the embodiment in fig. 4, in some other embodiments, only one or two of step S500, step S600 and step S700 may be performed, or step S500, step S600 and step S700 may not be performed, and step S500, step S600 and step S700 may be performed simultaneously or in a different order, which is not limited herein.

In the vehicle control method, the vehicle can receive reliable risk alarm signals from one or more signal sources, and accordingly all parts of the vehicle are linked to trigger corresponding actions, specifically, the method comprises the steps of isolating the internal environment and the external environment of the vehicle from each other, controlling the vehicle to enter a risk purification mode to purify the internal environment of the vehicle or sending risk prompt information to a user, and the like, so that the risk of exposing the user in harmful air is effectively reduced, active in-vehicle air purification is realized, the health of the user is guaranteed, and the user experience is improved.
