In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a vehicle alarm method and device, which are used for planning alarm reminding of all parts of a whole vehicle, which are requested in different types and different severity degrees, and orderly reminding on an instrument according to certain rules, such as priority, arbitration strategy and the like, so that the user experience is improved, the reliability of the alarm reminding is enhanced, and the vehicle safety is further improved.

The alarm types in the invention comprise sound alarm and pop-up window alarm, the sound alarm only sends out an alarm sound to prompt a user, the pop-up window alarm simultaneously sends out the alarm sound and displays pop-up frame prompt on a vehicle central control instrument, all alarms adopt uniform priority sequencing, and the priority sequencing serial number corresponding to each alarm is different.

Fig. 1 is a method flow diagram of a vehicle warning method according to an aspect of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, the vehicle alarm method provided by the present invention is mainly divided into the following two aspects according to whether the alarm currently being performed is an audible alarm or a pop-up alarm.

Firstly, step 101: when one sound alarm is executed, other sound alarms and/or pop-up windows alarms are triggered.

Then, go to step 102: and judging whether the priority of the newly triggered alarm is higher than that of the original sound alarm.

If yes, go to step 103: and interrupting the original sound alarm and executing the newly triggered alarm. If the priority is lower than the original sound alarm, step 104 is executed: and continuing to execute the original sound alarm.

In an embodiment, if the newly triggered alarm has a lower priority than the original sound alarm, continuing to execute the original sound alarm, the method may further include: if the newly triggered alarm is a sound alarm, continuing to execute the original sound alarm; and if the newly triggered alarm is a popup alarm, continuously executing the original sound alarm and simultaneously displaying a popup prompt of the newly triggered popup alarm on the central control instrument, wherein the alarm sound of the newly triggered popup alarm is temporarily not executed.

When the sound alarm is interrupted or ended, the sound alarm needs to be ended after the current sound is sounded, so that the occurrence of plosive is prevented, and the user experience is ensured.

In step 103 or step 104, after the current alarm is executed, the process goes to step 105: and after the current alarm is executed, determining whether to continue executing the remaining alarm according to the priority sequence of the remaining alarm and the alarm sound duration.

In one embodiment, the determining whether to continue executing the remaining alarms according to the priority ranking and the alarm tone duration of the remaining alarms after the current alarms are executed includes: after the current alarm is finished, if the remaining alarms still exist, executing the remaining alarms according to the priority order; and if the interrupted alarm is the alarm of the unclosed vehicle door or the alarm of the safety belt, continuing to execute countdown within the preset time after the interruption, and if the countdown is not finished after the current alarm is executed, continuing to execute the alarm sound prompt of at least one preset time period.

For example, after the current alarm is finished, if the interrupted alarm is a door unclosed alarm or a safety belt alarm, the alarm is interrupted, the alarm is put into an alarm pause state, the alarm time timer is put into background operation, and the 120s countdown is continued. And after the interruption is recovered, if the highest priority is that the interrupted vehicle door is not closed or the safety belt gives an alarm, finishing the alarm of the remaining time length. Specifically, when the remaining duration is greater than 0s and less than 10s, the mandatory remaining duration is set to 10 s; and if the remaining time length is 0, the alarm does not need to be continued.

For another example, after the current alarm is finished, the alarm with the highest priority in the rest alarms only sounds 1 or 3 or only sounds for a short time within 5 seconds, and the alarm is directly discarded without sounding again later. Or the alarm sound which is continuously buzzed is interrupted, and the alarm sound is continuously buzzed along with the alarm signal after the current alarm is executed.

On the other hand, step 106: when a popup alarm is executed, other sound alarms and/or popup alarms are triggered. Step 107 is performed: and judging whether the alarm with the highest priority is a sound alarm or not in all the newly triggered alarms.

If the highest priority is the sound alarm, step 108 is carried out: and continuously judging whether the priority of the sound alarm with the highest priority is higher than that of the original popup alarm. If the priority is lower than the original popup alarm, executing step 110: and continuing to execute the original popup window alarm.

If the priority is higher than the original popup alarm, executing step 109: and interrupting the original popup alarm and executing the newly triggered sound alarm.

In an embodiment, if the highest priority of the newly triggered alarms is an audible alarm and the priority of the audible alarm is higher than that of the original pop-up window alarm, the original pop-up window alarm is interrupted, and the newly triggered audible alarm is executed, and the specific execution further includes: only the alarm sound of the original popup alarm is interrupted, and the popup prompt of the original popup alarm on the central control instrument is not influenced.

In step 109 or step 110, after the current alarm is executed, the process goes to step 111: and after responding to the completion of the current alarm execution, determining whether to continue executing the remaining alarms according to the priority ranking of the remaining alarms and the alarm tone duration.

Similarly, in one embodiment, the determining whether to continue to execute the remaining alarms according to the priority ranking and the alarm tone duration of the remaining alarms after the current alarm is executed includes: after the current alarm is finished, if the rest alarms still exist, the rest alarms are executed according to the priority order; and if the interrupted alarm is the alarm of the unclosed vehicle door or the alarm of the safety belt, continuing to execute countdown within the preset time after the interruption, and if the countdown is not finished after the current alarm is executed, continuing to execute the alarm sound prompt of at least one preset time period.

For example, after the current alarm is finished, if the highest priority of the rest alarms is only 1 or 3 or only short alarm sounds lasting for 5s, the alarms with the short time are directly discarded, and the alarms with the short time do not need to be sounded again later. Or the alarm is interrupted by a popup alarm accompanied by a continuous buzzing alarm sound, and the alarm is continuously executed after the current alarm is executed and the alarm sound is continuously buzzed along with the alarm signal.

For another example, after the current alarm is finished, if the interrupted alarm is an alarm that the vehicle door is not closed or a safety belt alarm, the alarm is interrupted, the alarm is in a pause state, the alarm time timer runs in the background, and the 120s countdown is continued. And after the interruption is recovered, if the highest priority is that the interrupted vehicle door is not closed or the safety belt gives an alarm, finishing the alarm of the remaining time length. Specifically, when the remaining duration is greater than 0s and less than 10s, the mandatory remaining duration is set to 10 s; and the remaining time length is 0, the alarm does not need to be continued.

Referring back to step 107, if the alarm with the highest priority among the newly triggered alarms is not an audible alarm but a pop-up alarm, step 112 is executed: and executing alarm according to a preset popup alarm rule.

The invention assigns arbitration rules for conflict scenes which are currently executed and have popup alarm triggered, namely the preset popup alarm rules.

In an embodiment, the preset pop-up alarm rule divides all pop-up alarms into three levels of auxiliary levels on the basis of the original priority ranking, and the auxiliary levels are sequentially from high to low according to the levels: the first-level popup alarm refers to alarm prompts influencing driving safety, and comprises collision alarm, automatic emergency braking alarm, battery heat diffusion fault alarm and tire leakage fault alarm related to intelligent driving; the secondary popup alarm refers to alarm prompts which do not affect the driving safety and need to respond in time, and comprises a brake-stepping prompt alarm, a steep slope starting/closing slow descending function prompt, an air bag failure alarm, a tire pressure abnormity alarm and a camera failure alarm; and three-level pop-up window alarm, which refers to common alarm prompts which do not affect driving safety and do not need immediate response, and comprises a pedestrian reminding function closing prompt, an intelligent key electric quantity low prompt, a headlamp fault alarm and an automatic high beam and low beam fault alarm.

In an embodiment, in the alarm method provided by the invention, the popup alarm displays a popup prompt on the central control instrument and also displays a confirmation key at the same time, the confirmation key is used for providing a user with manual confirmation of the popup alarm, and in response to the user pressing the confirmation key, the popup alarm is regarded as being finished, is not displayed on the central control instrument any more, and is stored into the central control list for future reference.

For example, when the instrument performs a vehicle popup alarm, a confirmation button is provided for a user according to the type of the alarm, the user is allowed to confirm through a touch screen or a square control key, and the alarm disappears after the user confirms. And if the user needs to enter the alarm viewing page, allowing the user to manually view the historical alarm information. When the pop-up window alarm is accompanied by an alarm sound, the buzzer needs to synchronously sound and alarm.

It should be noted that the alarm types can be further divided into the following types according to whether the alarm types can be stored and viewed by the user background: alarms that can be stored and alarms that cannot be stored. The alarm can be stored, for example, the alarm can be used for reminding faults of the whole vehicle, such as faults of left and right steering lamps, faults of headlights, faults of safety airbags, insulation faults and the like; but not stored alarms, such as ordinary operation prompts, such as brake-on prompt and gear-in prompt. And high-priority faults affecting driving, such as battery thermal diffusion faults, tire quick air leakage reminding and the like. Only storable alarms can be stored into the background viewing list in response to user confirmation, and non-storable alarms often cannot be stored for future reference by the user due to their occurrence.

If the user does not confirm the alarm through the confirmation key, each popup window alarm has own display time, and the alarm is finished after the display time is displayed.

In practical use, after the vehicle is powered on in the cabin every time, the alarm is enabled after the self-inspection of the indicator lamp is completed. The alarm can not be displayed in the self-checking process, and the synchronous operation of the indicator lamp, the popup window alarm and the alarm sound is ensured. If the self-checking is overtime, the alarm can be enabled.

Each popup alarm has a preset display time and a minimum display time which is uniformly preset by the system. If the alarm signal is lost in the execution process of a certain popup alarm, if the alarm is already executed and is completed for the minimum display time, for example, 2s, the alarm is cancelled and is not executed any more. If the alarm signal is lost when the minimum display time is not displayed, the alarm signal needs to be cancelled after the minimum display time is displayed. In particular, for example following a signal alarm, if the signal is lost during the alarm, the alarm is maintained.

In addition, if the time of one alarm trigger signal is very short and is less than the minimum display time, the alarm needs to be cancelled after the execution meets the minimum display time, the situation that the user cannot notice the alarm information due to too fast stroboflash is avoided, and the use experience of the user is improved while the alarm reliability is improved due to the setting of the minimum display time. And if the time of one alarm trigger signal is not short, for example, is greater than the minimum display time, the alarm follow-up signal is normally cancelled.

The pop-up alarm that enters the view list due to user confirmation needs to be deleted from the alarm list after the alarm is cancelled. And resetting the content of the alarm list after the power is turned on again according to the real-time condition of the current alarm.

When the pop-up alarm is interrupted or ended, the accompanying alarm sound needs to be sounded and ended after the previous sound, so that the user experience is prevented from being influenced by the pop sound.

In an embodiment, the vehicle alarm method provided by the invention can execute alarm according to a preset pop-up window alarm rule, and comprises the following three conditions:

if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm auxiliary level is lower than the original pop-up window alarm level, continuing to execute the original pop-up window alarm, and executing if the low-level pop-up window alarm still exists after the execution is finished;

if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm auxiliary level is higher than the original pop-up window alarm level, interrupting the original pop-up window alarm, executing the newly triggered high-level pop-up window alarm, and continuing to execute the newly triggered high-level pop-up window alarm if the original pop-up window alarm still exists after the execution is finished; and

and thirdly, if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm is the same as the auxiliary level of the original pop-up window alarm, determining an execution sequence according to the auxiliary level and the priority sequence of the plurality of pop-up window alarms.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 and 3 are schematic diagrams illustrating an alarm arbitration process for triggering a low-level pop alarm during execution of a high-level pop alarm according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the primary pop-up alarm 201 may be a tire quick leak alarm and the secondary pop-up alarm 202 may be an airbag failure alarm. As shown in fig. 2, in the process of displaying and executing the tire rapid air leakage alarm, the airbag failure alarm is triggered, because the low-level pop-up alarm cannot interrupt the high-level pop-up alarm, the tire rapid air leakage alarm continues to be displayed, after the execution is finished, if the airbag failure alarm, that is, the second-level pop-up alarm 202 still exists, the alarm is displayed, and if the airbag failure alarm does not exist, the display is not needed.

Similarly, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the secondary pop-up alarm 301 may still be a safety airbag failure alarm and the tertiary pop-up alarm 302 may be a left turn signal failure. As shown in fig. 3, in the process of displaying and executing the airbag malfunction alarm, the left turn signal lamp malfunction alarm is triggered, and also because the two have a difference in level, the airbag malfunction alarm at a higher level is continuously displayed, after the display is finished, if the left turn signal lamp malfunction still exists, the alarm is displayed, and if the left turn signal lamp malfunction does not exist, the display is not required.

For the case two, that is, if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm auxiliary level is higher than the level of the original pop-up window alarm, the original pop-up window alarm is interrupted, in an embodiment, the method may further include: if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm is the first-level pop-up window alarm, immediately interrupting the original pop-up window alarm; and if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm is the secondary pop-up window alarm, judging whether the execution of the original pop-up window alarm meets the minimum display time, and if not, interrupting the original pop-up window alarm after the display meets the minimum display time.

In an embodiment, if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm auxiliary level is higher than the level of the original pop-up window alarm, the interrupting of the original pop-up window alarm may further include: if the interrupted original pop-up window alarm is the three-level pop-up window alarm, the interrupted three-level pop-up window alarm is not executed after the current alarm is executed, and the interrupted three-level pop-up window alarm is not displayed or directly enters a central control viewing list for standby.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 and 5 are schematic diagrams illustrating an alarm arbitration process for triggering a high-level pop alarm during a low-level pop alarm execution process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the primary pop-up alarm 401 may be, for example, a tire quick leak, and the secondary pop-up alarm may be, for example, an airbag failure. The primary popup alarm 401 is triggered in the display execution process of the secondary popup alarm 402, because the newly triggered alarm level is higher than the original alarm, and the newly triggered popup alarm is the primary popup alarm, the primary popup alarm is often an important alarm related to driving safety, the original alarm needs to be immediately interrupted no matter whether the original alarm is executed for the minimum display time, and the newly triggered primary popup alarm 401 is executed instead.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the third-level pop-up alarm 502 newly triggers the second-level pop-up alarm 501 during the display execution process, because the newly triggered alarm is high in level, the original alarm, that is, the third-level pop-up alarm 502 needs to be interrupted, and because the newly triggered alarm is a second-level alarm rather than a first-level alarm, the interrupted third-level pop-up alarm 502 needs to be interrupted after the display is performed for the full minimum display time, and the second-level pop-up alarm 501 is executed instead. And because the interrupted alarm is a three-level alarm, the level is lower, and the three-level pop-up alarm 502 is not displayed or enters the central control viewing list for future reference.

In case three, that is, if the newly triggered pop-up alarm is the same as the auxiliary level of the original pop-up alarm, the execution sequence is determined according to the auxiliary level and the priority ranking of the multiple pop-up alarms, which may further include: if the newly triggered popup alarm and the original popup alarm are both the primary popup alarm and the priority of the newly triggered popup alarm is higher than that of the original popup alarm, judging whether the original popup alarm is executed for meeting the minimum display time, if not, waiting for the original popup alarm to display the minimum display time, and then interrupting, if the priority of the newly triggered popup alarm is lower than that of the original popup alarm, continuing to execute the original popup alarm, and after the execution is finished, executing if the newly triggered popup alarm still exists; if the newly triggered popup alarm and the original popup alarm are the second-level popup alarm, judging whether the original popup alarm is executed to meet the minimum display time, if not, interrupting to execute the newly triggered popup alarm after the original popup alarm is displayed to meet the minimum display time, and after the execution is finished, continuing to execute if the original popup alarm still exists, and if a plurality of second-level popup alarms are simultaneously newly triggered, determining the execution sequence according to the priority sequence of the plurality of newly triggered second-level popup alarms; and if the newly triggered pop-up window alarm and the original pop-up window alarm are the three-level pop-up window alarm, executing in turn according to the triggering sequence without interruption.

Referring to fig. 6 to 8, fig. 6, 7, and 8 are schematic diagrams illustrating an alarm arbitration process for triggering a pop-up alarm at the same level during a pop-up alarm execution process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 6, a first-level pop-up alarm 601 triggers another first-level pop-up alarm 602 during display, the first-level pop-up alarm 602 has a higher priority, such as a rapid tire leak alarm, and the first-level pop-up alarm 601 with a lower priority, such as an overspeed alarm. Because the priority of the first-level popup alarm 602 is relatively higher, the first-level popup alarm and the second-level popup alarm are both the first-level alarm, and when the originally executed first-level popup alarm 601 is executed for the minimum display time, the execution is interrupted, and the first-level popup alarm 602 with the higher level is displayed instead. After the first-level pop alarm 602 is executed, the execution continues if the original first-level pop alarm 601 still exists.

More specifically, when the overspeed reminding is displayed, the quick air leakage reminding of the tire is triggered, the overspeed reminding is interrupted, and if the quick air leakage reminding of the tire is ended soon and the overspeed reminding still exists, the overspeed reminding is continuously displayed; if the overspeed reminder does not exist, no reminder is needed. And if when the quick air leakage reminding of the tire is displayed, the overspeed reminding is triggered, because the priority of the air leakage alarm is higher than that of the overspeed reminding, the quick air leakage reminding of the tire is still displayed at the moment, and if the overspeed reminding still exists after the air leakage reminding of the tire is finished, the overspeed reminding is displayed.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, another plurality of secondary pop-window alarms 702-704 are simultaneously issued during the execution of the secondary pop-window alarm 701, and since the secondary pop-window alarms are not prioritized when the same-level collision occurs, the priority order of the plurality of secondary alarms does not need to be compared, but are directly executed according to the order of the trigger time. That is, when the plurality of second-

level pop alarms

702, 703, 704 are triggered, the original second-level pop alarm 701 may be interrupted after the execution of the second-level pop alarm is completed for the minimum display time, and the newly triggered plurality of alarms are executed instead, and of course, the plurality of alarms are executed in the order of their priorities. After the execution of the plurality of alarms is completed, if the original secondary pop-up window alarm 701 still exists, the display execution is continued.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, as shown in fig. 8, the three-level pop-up alarm 801 may be, for example, a high beam assist system malfunction alarm, and the three-level pop-up alarm 802 may be, for example, a left turn signal malfunction alert. And if the fault of the high beam auxiliary system is displayed, the fault of the left steering lamp is triggered, and the fault of the left steering lamp is displayed after the fault display of the high beam auxiliary system is finished.

And if the fault of the left steering lamp is displayed, the fault of the high beam auxiliary system is triggered, and the fault of the high beam auxiliary system is displayed after the fault display of the left steering lamp is finished. The three-level popup alarm is executed in turn according to the triggering sequence without interruption.

Fig. 9 is a diagram illustrating an arbitration process of alarms when multiple peer pop-up alarms are triggered simultaneously according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 9, three level pop-up

alarms

901 and 902 are triggered simultaneously, and it is determined which alarm is displayed first according to their priority. For example, the three-level pop-up window alarm 901 indicates a failure of the high beam auxiliary system, the priority is higher, the three-level pop-up window alarm 902 indicates a failure of the left turn signal, and the priority is lower, when they are triggered at the same time, the failure of the high beam auxiliary system is displayed first, and after the display is finished, the failure of the left turn signal is still displayed.

The same is true for the first-level pop-window alarm and the second-level pop-window alarm, and when a plurality of peer alarms are triggered simultaneously, the execution sequence is determined according to the priority sequence of the peer alarms.
