Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and vehicle for determining the battery power of a smart key. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of vehicle technology, vehicles have become an important means of transportation in people's daily lives. When using vehicles, users often use smart keys to control them, such as unlocking the vehicle and opening the trunk.

[0003] Because smart keys have limited battery power, users often only discover this when the battery is depleted and the smart key can no longer be used, which affects the user's normal use of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method, device, equipment and vehicle for determining the battery power of a smart key, so as to solve the problem that users often only discover that the battery power of a smart key is exhausted and the smart key cannot be used normally due to the limited battery power of the smart key, which affects the normal use of the vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this disclosure provides a method for determining the battery level of a smart key, the method comprising:

[0006] Upon receiving a press command from the smart key, the system obtains the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determines the number of presses based on the ambient temperature.

[0007] Accumulate the number of presses to obtain the total number of presses;

[0008] In response to the total number of presses exceeding a first preset threshold, a prompt message is output, wherein the prompt message indicates that the smart key battery power is less than a preset power threshold.

[0009] Specifically, receiving the press command sent by the smart key, obtaining the ambient temperature of the vehicle, and determining the press count based on the ambient temperature includes:

[0010] Upon receiving a press command from the smart key, determine the actual number of presses corresponding to the press command;

[0011] Obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determine a first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature;

[0012] The actual number of presses is multiplied by the first target counting coefficient to obtain the number of presses.

[0013] Specifically, receiving the press command sent by the smart key, obtaining the ambient temperature of the vehicle, and determining the press count based on the ambient temperature includes:

[0014] Upon receiving a press command from the smart key, determine the actual number of presses corresponding to the press command;

[0015] Obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determine a first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature;

[0016] Obtain the altitude information of the vehicle, and determine the second target counting coefficient corresponding to the altitude information based on the altitude information;

[0017] The actual number of presses, the first target count coefficient, and the second target count coefficient are multiplied to obtain the number of presses.

[0018] Specifically, in response to the total number of presses exceeding a first preset threshold, a prompt message is output, including:

[0019] In response to the total number of presses exceeding a first preset number threshold, a prompt message is generated, wherein the prompt message indicates that the smart key battery power is less than a preset power threshold.

[0020] Determine the device information associated with the vehicle;

[0021] The target device is determined based on the device information, and the prompt information is sent to the target device.

[0022] Specifically, after sending the prompt message to the target device, the method further includes:

[0023] Upon receiving battery replacement information from the target device, the system determines that the smart key battery replacement is complete and resets the total number of presses to zero.

[0024] Specifically, after outputting the prompt message, it also includes:

[0025] Within a preset time period, upon receiving a press command from the smart key to perform a preset number of presses on a preset module, the smart key battery replacement is confirmed to be complete.

[0026] Clear the total number of presses to zero.

[0027] Specifically, after outputting the prompt message, it also includes:

[0028] In response to the total number of presses exceeding a second preset threshold, a mode switching command is sent to the smart key, wherein the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold.

[0029] When the smart key receives a mode switching command, it switches from the first mode to the second mode. The key response distance for the second mode is less than that for the first mode.

[0030] Based on the same inventive concept, a second aspect of this disclosure proposes a smart key battery power determination device, comprising:

[0031] The instruction receiving module is configured to receive a pressing instruction sent by the smart key, obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle, and determine the number of pressing counts based on the ambient temperature.

[0032] The press count module is configured to accumulate the press count to obtain the total press count;

[0033] The prompt module is configured to output a prompt message in response to the total number of presses exceeding a first preset number threshold, wherein the prompt message indicates that the smart key battery level is less than a preset battery level threshold.

[0034] Based on the same inventive concept, a third aspect of this disclosure proposes an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the smart key battery power determination method as described above.

[0035] Based on the same inventive concept, a fourth aspect of this disclosure proposes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to execute the smart key battery power determination method as described above.

[0036] Based on the same inventive concept, the fifth aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle including the smart key battery power determination device of the second aspect, the electronic device of the third aspect, or the storage medium of the fourth aspect.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, this disclosure proposes a method, apparatus, device, and vehicle for determining the battery level of a smart key. Upon receiving a press command from the smart key, the system obtains the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determines the number of presses based on the ambient temperature. Since ambient temperature affects battery consumption, this influence is considered when determining the number of presses, leading to more accurate determination of the smart key's battery level. The total number of presses is accumulated. When the total number of presses exceeds a first preset threshold, a prompt message is output to alert the user that the smart key's battery level is low, preventing the user from only realizing the problem when the smart key becomes unusable due to a depleted battery, thus improving the user experience.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0044] The following are definitions of terms used in this disclosure:

[0045] APP: Application (APP) is a mobile application service, which is an application service developed for mobile internet services such as mobile phones or wireless network card services.

[0046] With the rapid development of vehicle technology, vehicles have become an important means of transportation in people's daily lives. When using vehicles, users often use smart keys to control them, such as unlocking the vehicle and opening the trunk.

[0047] The battery life of a smart key is affected by various factors, especially changes in ambient temperature. Both excessively high and low temperatures accelerate battery consumption, leading to a shorter battery life. Because smart key batteries have limited capacity, users often only discover this when the battery is completely depleted and the smart key malfunctions, impacting their ability to use the vehicle normally.

[0048] Based on the above description, this embodiment proposes a method for determining the battery power of a smart key, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] Step 101: Receive the press command sent by the smart key, obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle, and determine the number of presses based on the ambient temperature.

[0050] In practice, upon receiving a press command from the smart key, it indicates that the user has pressed the smart key. The press command is generated after the user presses a press module on the smart key. This press module includes at least one of the following: an unlocking module, a locking module, a trunk opening module, a vehicle location module, etc. The vehicle location module indicates that after pressing, if the vehicle is within a preset distance of the smart key, the vehicle will emit an alarm signal to remind the user of its location.

[0051] Specifically, the configuration of the pressing module is related to the vehicle model. For example, the pressing module of the smart key for vehicle model A includes an unlocking module, a locking module, and a trunk opening module. The pressing module of the smart key for vehicle model B includes an unlocking module, a locking module, a trunk opening module, and a vehicle finding module.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the button on the smart key is pressed, a pressing command is generated and transmitted to the vehicle via high-frequency information.

[0053] Upon receiving a press command from the smart key, the system obtains the ambient temperature of the vehicle. Since ambient temperature affects battery power consumption, the system determines the number of presses based on the ambient temperature. The number of presses is the actual number counted by the vehicle.

[0054] Step 102: Accumulate the number of presses to obtain the total number of presses.

[0055] In practice, each time a button on the smart key is pressed, a press count is determined based on the ambient temperature. The press count is accumulated; that is, after each press count is obtained, this press count is added to all previous press counts to obtain the total number of presses.

[0056] For example, if the number of presses is determined to be 2 after the first press of the smart key button, and the number of presses is determined to be 1 after the second press, then the total number of presses after the second press is 3.

[0057] Step 103: In response to the total number of presses being greater than a first preset number of times threshold, a prompt message is output, wherein the prompt message indicates that the smart key battery power is less than a preset power threshold.

[0058] In practice, the number of presses is continuously accumulated until the number of presses exceeds a first preset threshold. At this point, it indicates that the number of presses of the smart key has reached the preset alarm threshold, and a prompt message is output to remind the user that the smart key battery is low and to replace the battery in time.

[0059] The aforementioned prompt message indicates that the smart key's battery level is below a preset battery level threshold. This preset threshold is a pre-defined battery level value; when the smart key's battery level is below this threshold, it means the battery is in a low-power state but not yet depleted.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first preset number of times threshold is less than the maximum number of times the smart key can be pressed in a brand new state.

[0061] The prompting method includes at least one of the following: voice prompt, display prompt, indicator light prompt, etc. When the prompting method is a display prompt, the content format of the prompting information includes at least one of the following: text, rich text, image, etc., and the display location of the prompting information includes at least one of the following: instrument panel, central control screen, window, etc. When the prompting information is an indicator light prompt, the indicator light includes at least one of the following: ambient light, instrument panel light, central control screen virtual prompt light, etc.

[0062] The above scheme receives a press command from the smart key, obtains the ambient temperature of the vehicle, and determines the number of presses based on the ambient temperature. Since ambient temperature affects battery consumption, this influence is considered when determining the number of presses, leading to a more accurate determination of the smart key's battery level. The total number of presses is accumulated. When the total number of presses exceeds a first preset threshold, a prompt message is output to alert the user that the smart key battery is low and needs replacement. This prevents the user from only realizing the smart key is unusable when the battery is completely depleted, thus improving the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, step 101 specifically includes:

[0064] Step 1011: Receive the pressing command sent by the smart key and determine the actual number of presses corresponding to the pressing command;

[0065] Step 1012: Obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determine the first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature.

[0066] Step 1013: Multiply the actual number of presses by the first target counting coefficient to obtain the number of presses.

[0067] In practice, when a press command is received from the smart key, it indicates that the user has pressed the smart key. The actual number of presses corresponding to the press command is determined, and the actual number of presses is the number of times the user actually presses the smart key.

[0068] The database pre-stores the correspondence between ambient temperature and a first counting coefficient. In this embodiment, since both excessively high and low ambient temperatures significantly affect battery power consumption, when the ambient temperature is above a preset temperature range, the higher the ambient temperature, the larger the corresponding first counting coefficient. Conversely, when the ambient temperature is below a preset temperature range, the lower the ambient temperature, the larger the corresponding first counting coefficient.

[0069] For example, the preset temperature range is 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. When the ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range, the first counting coefficient is 1. When the ambient temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, the first counting coefficient is 2. When the ambient temperature is -5 degrees Celsius, the first counting coefficient is 3.

[0070] Obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle and find the first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature. Multiply the actual number of presses by the first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature, and the product value is the number of presses.

[0071] For example, if the ambient temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, the first target count coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature is determined to be 2. If the actual number of presses is determined to be 2, then the number of presses is determined to be 4.

[0072] The above method addresses the issue that both excessively high and low ambient temperatures accelerate battery consumption. Therefore, when estimating the battery level of a smart key, the number of presses should fully consider the ambient temperature. This means that the impact of ambient temperature on battery consumption is taken into account, and the number of presses may be greater than the actual number of presses, thus making the determination of the smart key's battery level more accurate.

[0073] In some embodiments, step 101 specifically includes:

[0074] Step 101A: Receive the pressing command sent by the smart key and determine the actual number of presses corresponding to the pressing command;

[0075] Step 101B: Obtain the ambient temperature of the vehicle and determine the first target counting coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature.

[0076] Step 101C: Obtain the altitude information of the vehicle and determine the second target counting coefficient corresponding to the altitude information.

[0077] Step 101D: Multiply the actual number of presses, the first target count coefficient, and the second target count coefficient to obtain the number of presses.

[0078] In practice, when a press command is received from the smart key, it indicates that the user has pressed the smart key. The actual number of presses corresponding to the press command is determined, and the actual number of presses is the number of times the user actually presses the smart key.

[0079] The database pre-stores the correspondence between ambient temperature and a first counting coefficient. In this embodiment, since both excessively high and low ambient temperatures significantly affect battery power consumption, when the ambient temperature is above a preset temperature range, the higher the ambient temperature, the larger the corresponding first counting coefficient. Conversely, when the ambient temperature is below a preset temperature range, the lower the ambient temperature, the larger the corresponding first counting coefficient.

[0080] The database also stores the correspondence between the vehicle's altitude and the second counting coefficient. In this embodiment, the higher the altitude, the larger the corresponding second counting coefficient.

[0081] Multiply the actual number of presses, the first target count coefficient, and the second target count coefficient to obtain the product value, which is the number of presses.

[0082] For example, if the ambient temperature is -5 degrees Celsius, the first target count coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature is determined to be 3. If the vehicle's altitude is 3000 meters, the second target count coefficient corresponding to the altitude is determined to be 3. If the actual number of presses is determined to be 1, then the number of presses is determined to be 9.

[0083] The above scheme takes into account not only the impact of ambient temperature on battery power consumption, but also the impact of altitude on battery power consumption, making the subsequent determination of the smart key's battery power more accurate.

[0084] In some embodiments, step 103 specifically includes:

[0085] Step 1031: In response to the total number of presses being greater than a first preset number of times threshold, a prompt message is generated, wherein the prompt message is a message indicating that the smart key battery power is less than a preset power threshold.

[0086] Step 1032: Determine the device information associated with the vehicle;

[0087] Step 1033: Determine the target device based on the device information and send the prompt information to the target device.

[0088] In practice, when the total number of presses exceeds the first preset threshold, it indicates that the number of presses on the smart key has reached the preset alarm threshold, and a prompt message is generated to remind the user that the smart key battery power is less than the preset power threshold.

[0089] When a user purchases a vehicle or logs into the vehicle's infotainment system, their mobile device information is linked to that device. This mobile device information is the device information associated with the vehicle. The mobile device includes at least one of the following: mobile phone, laptop, tablet, watch, wristband, etc.

[0090] Based on the device information, the corresponding target device is determined, and the prompt message is sent to the target device to notify the user that the smart key's battery is low via a mobile device. For example, if the target device is determined to be a mobile phone, the prompt message is sent to the mobile phone, and upon receiving the prompt message, the mobile phone displays it to the user.

[0091] In this embodiment, the display method of the prompt information on the mobile device includes at least one of the following: pop-up display, voice display, etc. For example, when the display method is pop-up display, after the mobile phone receives the prompt information, it displays a pop-up containing the prompt information on the mobile phone interface.

[0092] The above solution addresses the issue of displayed prompts on the vehicle potentially being ignored by users, or prompts via vehicle indicator lights that users may not understand. In such cases, the prompts can be displayed on the user's mobile device for a clear and concise explanation, further reminding the user to replace the smart key's battery and preventing the battery from running out and affecting normal vehicle use.

[0093] In some embodiments, step 1033 is followed by:

[0094] Step 103A: In response to receiving battery replacement information sent by the target device, determine that the smart key battery replacement is complete, and reset the total number of presses to zero.

[0095] In practice, after receiving the prompt message, the user replaces the smart key's battery. At this point, the user can click the target virtual button corresponding to the replaced smart key battery on the target device. Once the target device detects the press command of the target virtual button, it sends a battery replacement message to the vehicle.

[0096] Once the vehicle's infotainment system receives the battery replacement information from the target device, it indicates that the smart key's battery replacement is complete. The accumulated number of presses is then reset to zero, and the count restarts when the smart key is pressed again.

[0097] With the above solution, when the smart key's battery is replaced, the total number of presses accumulated beforehand is cleared to allow for subsequent determination of the battery's charge level. If the charge level is determined to be too low, a prompt message is resent to allow for another battery replacement.

[0098] In some embodiments, step 103 is followed by:

[0099] Step 10A: In response to receiving a pressing command from the smart key within a preset time period, indicating that the smart key battery replacement is complete;

[0100] Step 10B: Reset the total number of presses to zero.

[0101] In practice, after the prompt message is output, if a preset number of press commands are received from the smart key within a preset time period, indicating that the smart key battery replacement is complete, then the accumulated press count is reset to zero and restarted when the smart key is pressed again.

[0102] The preset module is a pre-set push-button module on the smart key, and the preset module includes at least one of the following: an unlocking module, a locking module, a trunk opening module, a vehicle finding module, etc. The number of preset modules can be one or more.

[0103] For example, if the preset module is an unlocking module, the preset duration is 1 second, and the preset number of times is 2, then if after the output prompt message is received, a press command is sent by the smart key to press the unlocking module twice within 1 second, it indicates that the smart key replacement is complete.

[0104] In another example, the preset modules are the trunk opening module and the car finding module, the preset duration is 2 seconds, and the preset number of times is 1. If a message is received from the smart key after the prompt message is output, press the trunk opening module once and the car finding module once within 2 seconds. This indicates that the smart key replacement is complete.

[0105] With the above solution, when the user receives the prompt message and replaces the battery of the smart key, the user can directly press the smart key at this time to inform the vehicle that the replacement of the smart key battery is completed, which is more convenient and faster.

[0106] In some embodiments, after step 103, it further includes:

[0107] Step A, in response to the total number of presses being greater than a second preset number threshold, send a mode switching instruction to the smart key, where the second preset number threshold is greater than the first preset number threshold.

[0108] Among them, after the smart key receives the mode switching instruction, it switches from the first mode to the second mode, and the key response distance corresponding to the second mode is less than the key response distance corresponding to the first mode.

[0109] Specifically, when the prompt message is displayed and the user does not replace the battery of the smart key in time, the pressing count is still being accumulated at this time, that is, the total number of presses is still increasing. If the total number of presses is greater than the second preset number threshold, it means that the battery power of the smart key is extremely low at this time, and a mode switching instruction is sent to the smart key. It can be understood that the second preset number threshold is greater than the first preset number threshold.

[0110] After the smart key receives the mode switching instruction, it switches from the first mode to the second mode, where the key response distance corresponding to the second mode is less than the key response distance corresponding to the first mode. The key response distance means the farthest distance at which the vehicle can respond to the pressing instruction after the smart key is pressed. Switching from the first mode to the second mode means that the smart key needs to be closer to the vehicle to make the vehicle respond to the pressing instruction of the smart key, further reducing the power consumption of the smart key and extending the available usage time of the smart key.

[0111] With the above solution, if the user still does not replace the battery of the smart key after prompting the user to replace the battery of the smart key, a mode switching instruction can be sent to the smart key when the total number of presses is greater than the second preset number threshold, so as to reduce the power consumption of the smart key and extend the available usage time of the smart key.

[0112] Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining the battery power of a smart key, including:

[0113] According to experimental data, obtain the standard number of times N that the smart key button can be pressed under the best service life of the battery, and set an alarm threshold M (M < N) according to the standard number of presses. At the same time, determine the pressing coefficient within different temperature ranges. For example: when the temperature range is 20°C to 25°C, the coefficient is 1; when the temperature range is -5°C to -10°C, the coefficient is 2.

[0114] When the smart key button is pressed, the press information is transmitted to the vehicle domain controller via high-frequency information transmission. The vehicle domain controller counts the number of presses, accumulating the count based on the current ambient temperature and a corresponding coefficient. For example, when the temperature is 20℃~25℃, the count increases by 1 for each press; when the temperature is -5℃~-10℃, the count increases by 2 for each press. Assume the vehicle domain controller counts n presses at this time.

[0115] When the number of key presses (n=M) counted by the vehicle domain controller, the smart key has reached the alarm threshold. At this point, the vehicle domain controller issues a warning signal and alerts the user via the instrument panel, reminding them to replace the battery. Simultaneously, a pre-alarm message is sent to the mobile app, which the user can use to confirm whether the battery needs to be replaced.

[0116] Once the user confirms on the mobile app that the key battery has been replaced, the app sends a command to the vehicle control unit. Upon receiving the confirmation command, the vehicle control unit resets the button press count to zero and starts a new round of counting.

[0117] It should be noted that the method of this disclosure embodiment can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario, where multiple devices cooperate to complete the task. In such a distributed scenario, one of these devices may execute only one or more steps of the method of this disclosure embodiment, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the method described.

[0118] It should be noted that the above description describes some embodiments of this disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in a different order than that shown in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired result. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific or sequential order to achieve the desired result. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.

[0119] Based on the same inventive concept, corresponding to any of the above embodiments, this disclosure also provides a smart key battery power determination device.
