The invention provides a method for designing a software interface communicating with a protocol of third party intelligent equipment. The method comprises the following steps: an intelligent equipment protocol dynamic library is set corresponding to master program; functions related to the protocol are separated from the master program, and independently encapsulated and stored in the intelligent equipment protocol dynamic library; and the intelligent equipment protocol dynamic library presents the same interface for the master program to invoke protocols. As the same interface is presented to the master program, the master program can be transferred after protocols of different intelligent equipment are encapsulated according to the mode, and the master program can transfer all protocol dynamic libraries by using a group of interfaces. The method for designing the interface leads the master program to keep unchanged, thereby greatly reducing cost and risk for switching in the intelligent equipment.

The invention is about a new kind of method that is about allocating parameter of electric vehicle control. The method concludes detecting the input signals and the input layout procedure. The characteristic of the new method is that the sub control of electric vehicle control detects the input signal from local input interface. The other one is that local input equipment puts forward a request order of allocating parameter in an authorized way when it is triggering the control with a special way. When the sub control gets the request order it will allocate the parameters in the layout procedure until the layout procedure is over, then, the sub control is going to get in the usual control process. The request order of allocating parameter is come out based on that there is authorized operation of routine input and output interface in the control. Firstly, it is to transform the input signal of the local input interface into the code that is to delegate the different parameters order. Then the sub control gets the input code from the local input interface to instead of the original parameter.
