We are pleased to announce that on January 6, 2025, a new patent application titled "Vehicle Control Method, Apparatus, Vehicle Controller, and Storage Medium" (Patent No. CN119898189A)was submitted by Chery New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd.and has now been officially published. This innovation marks an important milestone in our pursuit of smarter, more connected vehicle experiences.
Technical Highlights
• Multi-Device Synchronization
This technology enables real-time transmission of the central control screen’s interface image to any passenger’s mobile device inside the vehicle via wireless connectivity. Whether seated in the front or rear, passengers can view and interact with the central screen content directly from their own devices, breaking traditional spatial limitations of vehicle controls.
• Flexible and Intuitive Interaction
Users can trigger actions through gestures such as tapping or swiping on functional buttons within the interface. These inputs are sent back to the vehicle system, where the vehicle controller executes corresponding commands—such as opening the sunroof, adjusting the air conditioning, or playing music—allowing every passenger to take control of key functions.
• Adaptive Interface Update Mechanism
The system dynamically adjusts the update cycle of the interface image based on multiple factors including the frequency of screen changes, number of connected devices, vehicle status, scenario mode, and battery level. This ensures timely information delivery while optimizing energy efficiency.
• Multi-User Collaboration and Real-Time Sync
When multiple devices are connected, any operation performed on one device is instantly reflected across all other connected devices, ensuring consistent and synchronized user experience for everyone onboard.
Application Scenarios
This technology enhances everyday commuting and elevates experiences during family trips or business travel. Rear passengers can easily adjust climate settings or choose entertainment options, while co-passengers can assist the driver with navigation input. It truly enables “everyone in the car to participate”in controlling the vehicle.
Looking Ahead
As a leader in the new energy vehicle industry, Chery continues to invest heavily in R&D, focusing on intelligent networking technologies to advance human-vehicle interaction. We believe that with the continued application of cutting-edge innovations like this, future mobility will become smarter, safer, and more convenient than ever before.
