Abstract

Example control methods, apparatuses, and vehicles are described. One example method includes obtaining first configuration information, where the first configuration information is information obtained based on an operation of enabling or disabling a first function of a vehicle by a user. A working status of a first controller is controlled based on the first configuration information, where the working status includes a first working state and a second working state. The first controller enables the first function in the first working state and disables the first function in the second working state. Power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the second working state is relatively lower than power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the first working state.

Claims (42)

1 . A control method, wherein the method comprises:

obtaining first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is information obtained based on an operation of enabling or disabling a first function of a vehicle by a user; and

controlling a working status of a first controller based on the first configuration information, wherein the working status comprises a first working state and a second working state, the first controller enables the first function in the first working state, the first controller disables the first function in the second working state, and power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the second working state is relatively lower than power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the first working state.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

switching the first controller from the second working state to a third working state when a gear of the vehicle is a reverse gear, wherein the first controller enables a reversing assistance function in the third working state.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the reversing assistance function comprises at least one of the following: a reversing radar function, a panoramic view function, or a reversing view function.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

informing the user that the reversing assistance function is enabled.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

switching the first controller from the third working state to the second working state when the gear of the vehicle is a parking gear, a neutral gear, or a drive gear

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining that the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear, wherein the determining comprises:

determining that a duration in which the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear is greater than or equal to a first threshold; or

determining that the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear, and a traveling speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before the obtaining first configuration information, the method further comprises enabling an endurance mode.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first function comprises an automatic driving function.

9 . A control apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is information obtained based on an operation of enabling or disabling a first function of a vehicle by a user; and

control a working status of a first controller based on the first configuration information, wherein the working status comprises a first working state and a second working state, the first controller enables the first function in the first working state, the first controller disables the first function in the second working state, and power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the second working state is relatively lower than power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the first working state.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

switch the first controller from the second working state to a third working state when a gear of the vehicle is a reverse gear, wherein the first controller enables a reversing assistance function in the third working state.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the reversing assistance function comprises at least one of the following: a reversing radar function, a panoramic view function, and a reversing view function.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

inform the user that the reversing assistance function is enabled.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

switch the first controller from the third working state to the second working state when the gear of the vehicle is a parking gear, a neutral gear, or a drive gear.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

determine that the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear, wherein the determining comprises:

determining that a duration in which the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear is greater than or equal to a first threshold; or

determining that the gear of the vehicle is the parking gear or the drive gear, and a traveling speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

enable an endurance mode.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first function comprises an automatic driving function.

17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the computer-readable medium stores computer program code, and when the computer program code is run on a computer, the computer is enabled to:

obtain first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is information obtained based on an operation of enabling or disabling a first function of a vehicle by a user; and

control a working status of a first controller based on the first configuration information, wherein the working status comprises a first working state and a second working state, the first controller enables the first function in the first working state, the first controller disables the first function in the second working state, and power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the second working state is relatively lower than power consumption of the vehicle when the first controller is in the first working state.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer is enabled to:

switch the first controller from the second working state to a third working state when a gear of the vehicle is a reverse gear, wherein the first controller enables a reversing assistance function in the third working state.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the reversing assistance function comprises at least one of the following: a reversing radar function, a panoramic view function, or a reversing view function.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the computer is enabled to inform the user that the reversing assistance function is enabled.
