Abstract

A vehicle includes a plurality of areas, each of the plurality of areas includes at least one light emitting apparatus and at least one sensor of a first type, the plurality of areas include a first area, the first area includes a first light emitting apparatus and a first sensor, and a type of the first sensor is the first type. A light system control method includes: obtaining a first signal collected by the first sensor; and controlling, based on the first signal, the first light emitting apparatus to work.

Claims (56)

1 . A method comprising:

obtaining a first signal from a first sensor in a first area of a vehicle;

obtaining image information from a camera;

determining, based on the image information, that a first user is present in the first area;

determining first user information corresponding to the first user;

obtaining, from stored correspondences between user informations and light configuration informations, a first light configuration information corresponding to the first user information; and

controlling, based on the first signal and the first light configuration information, a first light-emitting apparatus in the first area to work.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor, wherein the first signal indicates a temperature value, and wherein controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises:

controlling, when the temperature value is greater than a preset temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a first working mode; and

controlling, when the temperature value is less than the preset temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a second working mode.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first working mode comprises displaying a first color, and wherein the second working mode comprises displaying a second color.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first color has a warm hue and the second color has a cool hue.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor, wherein the first signal indicates a first temperature value, wherein the method further comprises detecting adjustment of a vehicle temperature to a second temperature value, and wherein controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises:

controlling, when the second temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a first working mode; and

controlling, when the second temperature value is less than the first temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a second working mode.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first working mode comprises displaying a first color, and wherein the second working mode comprises displaying a second color.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first color has a warm hue and the second color has a cool hue.

8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising controlling, when detecting adjustment of the vehicle temperature to a third temperature value, an air exhaust direction of an air outlet of an air conditioner located in the first area to be in a first direction, and wherein controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to be displayed in a water flowing light form that matches the first direction.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a cup holder temperature sensor, wherein the method further comprises further obtaining the first signal after detecting that the first user places a cup in a cup holder located in the first area, wherein the first signal indicates a first temperature value of a liquid in the cup, and wherein the controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises:

controlling, when the first temperature value is greater than a second temperature value of the liquid before the first user places the cup in the cup holder, the first light-emitting apparatus to display a warm hue; and

controlling, when the first temperature value is less than the second temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to display a cool hue.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

controlling, while a cup holder temperature detected by the cup holder temperature sensor cools down from the first temperature value to the second temperature value, a color of the first light-emitting apparatus to change from deep to light; and

controlling, while the cup holder temperature heats up from the first temperature value to the second temperature value, the color to change from deep to light.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first light-emitting apparatus is a cup holder ambient light.

12 . A light system comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the light system to:

obtain a first signal from a first sensor in a first area of a vehicle;

obtain image information from a camera;

determine, based on the image information, that a first user is present in the first area;

determine first user information corresponding to the first user;

obtain, from stored correspondences between user informations and light configuration informations, a first light configuration information corresponding to the first user information; and

control, based on the first signal and the first light configuration information, a first light-emitting apparatus in the first area to work.

13 . The light system of claim 12 , wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor, wherein the first signal indicates a temperature value, and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the light system to further control the first light-emitting apparatus to work by:

controlling, when the temperature value is greater than a preset temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a first working mode; and

controlling, when the temperature value is less than the preset temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a second working mode.

14 . The light system of claim 13 , wherein the first working mode comprises displaying a first color, and wherein the second working mode comprises displaying a second color.

15 . The light system of claim 14 , wherein the first color has a warm hue and the second color has a cool hue.

16 . The light system of claim 12 , wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor, wherein the first signal indicates a first temperature value, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the light system to:

detect adjustment of a vehicle temperature to a second temperature value; and

further control the first light-emitting apparatus to work by:

controlling, when the second temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a first working mode; and

controlling, when the second temperature value is less than the first temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to work in a second working mode.

17 . The light system of claim 16 , wherein the first working mode comprises displaying a first color, and wherein the second working mode comprises displaying a second color.

18 . The light system of claim 17 , wherein the first color has a warm hue and the second color has a cool hue.

19 . The light system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the light system to:

control, when detecting adjustment of the vehicle temperature to a third temperature value, an air exhaust direction of an air outlet of an air conditioner located in the first area to be in a first direction; and

further control the first light-emitting apparatus to work by controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to be displayed in a water flowing light form that matches the first direction.

20 . A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a computer-readable medium and that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a light system to:

obtain a first signal from a first sensor in a first area of a vehicle;

obtain image information from a camera;

determine, based on the image information, that a first user is present in the first area;

determine first user information corresponding to the first user;

obtain, from stored correspondences between user informations and light configuration informations, a first light configuration information corresponding to the first user information; and
