Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a method, an apparatus, and a system, which may be applied to the intelligent cockpit field. The apparatus includes a body having a first surface and a second surface, where a first function element is disposed on the first surface, a second function element is disposed on the second surface, and there is an included angle between the first surface and the second surface, so that when the first function element covers a first function area, the second function element covers a second function area. The foregoing solution can improve a reuse rate of a function element, reduce design costs and implementation difficulties, and improve operation experience of a user.

Claims (34)

1 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a body comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein

a first function element is disposed on the first surface, and a second function element is disposed on the second surface, wherein the first function element performs a first function and the second function element performs a second function; and

there is a first included angle between the first surface and the second surface, so that when the first function element covers a first function area used to perform the first function, the second function element covers a second function area used to perform the second function,

wherein the first function element and the second function element are image collection apparatuses, the first function element is configured to collect image information of a driver area, and the second function element is configured to collect image information of a cockpit,

wherein the body further comprises a third surface, a third function element is disposed on the third surface, the third function element covers a third function area, and the second function area and the third function area overlap,

wherein the support body is configured to drive a pose adjustment of a function element on the body, so that the first function area covers the driver area and the second function area covers the cockpit.

2 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first included angle is greater than 145 degrees and less than 160 degrees.

3 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a third function element is further disposed on the second surface, the third function element covers a third function area, and the second function area and the third function area overlap.

4 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises a fourth surface, a fourth function element is disposed on the fourth surface, an included angle between extension lines of the fourth surface and the second surface is an acute angle, and the fourth function element is configured to collect image information outside a cockpit.

5 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a support body configured to connect the body to a hardware apparatus in a cockpit.

6 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the support body is further configured to drive, in a privacy mode, the first function element and the second function element to fall.

7 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the support body is further configured to drive the first function element and the second function element to fall when a vehicle is turned off.

8 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a human-machine interaction apparatus is disposed in an upper area of the cockpit, and an included angle between an optical axis of the second function element and a horizontal line is greater than 10 degrees and less than 30 degrees.

9 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a field of view (FOV) of the first function element is greater than 60 degrees, and an FOV of the second function element is greater than 100 degrees.

10 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a blocking structure configured to block the first function element and the second function element.

11 . A control method, comprising:

obtaining pose information of an electronic apparatus;

receiving a first instruction in response to enabling of a first function of the electronic apparatus, wherein the first function corresponds to a first object and the first instruction instructs the electronic apparatus to perform the first function; and

adjusting a pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that a function area of a first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object,

wherein the first function further corresponds to a second object; and

wherein the adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object comprises:

adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object and the second object.

12 . The control method according to claim 11 , wherein the first function further corresponds to a second function element, and wherein the adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object comprises:

adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object, and a function area of the second function element covers the first object.

13 . A non-transitory computer storage medium, comprising computer instructions, wherein when the computer instructions are run on an electronic device, the electronic device is enabled to perform operations, the operations including:

obtaining pose information of an electronic apparatus;

receiving a first instruction in response to enabling of a first function of the electronic apparatus, wherein the first function corresponds to a first object and the first instruction instructs the electronic apparatus to perform the first function; and

adjusting a pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that a function area of a first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object,

wherein the first function further corresponds to a second object; and

wherein the adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object comprises:

adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object and the second object.

14 . The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the first function further corresponds to a second function element, and wherein the adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object comprises:

adjusting the pose of the electronic apparatus according to the first instruction and based on the pose information, so that the function area of the first function element corresponding to the first function covers the first object, and a function area of the second function element covers the first object.
