[0032] In the related art, the CCC specification provides a method of sharing a digital car key from a vehicle owner end device to a to-be-shared end device. Referring to FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps: Figure 1 In step 100, the vehicle owner end device has been paired with a vehicle, and the vehicle owner end device has established an end-to-end connection with the to-be-shared end device.

[0033] In step 101, the vehicle owner end device triggers a sharing invitation for sharing a digital car key.

[0034] In step 102, the vehicle owner end device sends a sharing creation request message for sharing a digital car key to the to-be-shared end device.

[0035] In step 103, the to-be-shared end device receives the sharing creation request message and performs corresponding operations.

[0036] The corresponding operations include, but are not limited to, creating an endpoint, creating a certificate chain, etc.

[0037] In step 104, the to-be-shared end device sends a key signature request to the vehicle owner end device.

[0038] ​In step 105, the vehicle owner's device signs the data to be signed based on the key signature request.

[0039] In step 106, the vehicle owner device sends an import request to the device to be shared.

[0040] The import request is used to import signature data into the device to be shared.

[0041] In step 107, the digital car key becomes active on the device to be shared.

[0042] Subsequently, the device to be shared can establish a connection with the vehicle through the server corresponding to the device to be shared, the vehicle server, and the server corresponding to the owner's device, based on the valid digital car key.

[0043] In the above process, the digital car key can be used on the device to be shared. Both the device to be shared and the owner's device are terminal devices. However, the relevant technologies do not involve the implementation of using other devices besides terminal devices, such as wearable devices, as carriers of digital car keys. In order to solve the above technical problems, this disclosure provides the following method for sharing digital car keys.

[0044] The following section will first introduce the method for sharing digital car keys provided in this publication from the perspective of the terminal device.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is described from the perspective of a terminal device, wherein the terminal device includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the method for sharing a digital car key may include the following steps: In step 201, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0046] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0047] It should be noted that the terminal device can be either the vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared; this disclosure does not limit the choice. The vehicle owner's device refers to the terminal device used by the vehicle owner, while the device to be shared refers to a peer device that wishes to obtain a digital car key from the vehicle owner's device.

[0048] In step 202, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0049] In the above embodiments, digital car keys can be used on wearable devices, expanding the carrier for storing digital car keys, improving the portability of digital car keys, and making them more usable.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 3A As shown, Figure 3A This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be a vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared. The method includes the following steps: In step 301, a prompt message is output.

[0051] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the prompt message can be used to prompt the user of the terminal device to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or wearable device, for example... Figure 3B As shown.

[0052] In step 302, a first confirmation message is received to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device.

[0053] In step 303, based on the first confirmation information, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0054] The number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0055] In step 304, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0056] In the above embodiments, a prompt message can be output to allow the user of the terminal device to confirm whether the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or the wearable device. After the user confirms that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, the effective digital car key will be obtained on the target wearable device with the same account as the terminal device. This achieves the goal of making the digital car key effective on wearable devices, expands the carrier for storing the digital car key, improves the portability of the digital car key, and enhances its usability.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4is a method flowchart for sharing a digital vehicle key according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal device, which can be a friend device to be shared, and the method comprises the following steps: In step 401, in response to receiving the uniform resource locator (URL) address for sharing the digital vehicle key sent by the owner terminal device, the digital vehicle key to be activated is generated, and prompt information is output.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device to be shared can receive the URL address through the digital key framework, and the digital key framework of the terminal device to be shared generates the digital vehicle key to be activated based on the URL address, and outputs a prompt information. The prompt information can be used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital vehicle key is activated on the terminal device or wearable device, and can also be used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital vehicle key is activated on the wearable device, for example Figure 3B as shown.

[0059] In the case of receiving the first confirmation information for confirming that the digital vehicle key is activated on the wearable device, steps 402 to 403 are performed, and in the case of receiving the second confirmation information for confirming that the digital vehicle key is activated on the terminal device to be shared, step 404 is performed.

[0060] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the terminal device to be shared receives the uniform resource locator (URL) address for sharing the digital vehicle key sent by the owner terminal device through the built-in digital key framework, and the digital key framework has the function of parsing the URL address. After the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL and generates the digital vehicle key to be activated, the prompt information is output. In the present disclosure, the uniform resource locator (URL) address of the digital vehicle key sent by the owner terminal device is sent to the digital key framework of the terminal device to be shared, and the information presented to the user interface by the digital key framework after completing the parsing of the URL is information that does not contain the URL, which avoids the security risk of URL leakage caused by directly presenting the URL on the user interface, and improves the security in the process of sharing the smart vehicle key.

[0061] In step 402, based on the first confirmation information, the target wearable device where the activated digital vehicle key is located is determined.

[0062] The number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and the present disclosure does not limit the number of target wearable devices. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device corresponding to the same account as the terminal device. The target wearable device includes but is not limited to a smart watch, a smart bracelet, and other wearable devices.

[0063] In step 403, the digital car key to be validated is sent to the target wearable device, so that the digital car key is validated on the target wearable device.

[0064] In step 404, after receiving the second confirmation information, the digital car key to be validated is obtained on the sharing-end device.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sharing-end device can execute the scheme of obtaining the validated digital car key on the sharing-end device according to related technologies, for example Figure 1 as shown.

[0066] In the above embodiments, when the sharing-end device receives the URL address for sharing the digital car key sent by the owner-end device, the sharing-end device can generate the digital car key to be validated and output the prompt information for prompting the user to confirm the validation of the digital car key on the sharing-end device or the wearable device, and then obtain the validated digital car key on the corresponding device according to the user's indication. The carrier for storing the digital car key is expanded, and the implementation is simple and highly usable.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, referring to Figure 5A as shown, Figure 5A is a method flowchart for sharing a digital car key according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal device, which can be an owner-end device or a sharing-end device. The method comprises the following steps: In step 501, a list of alternative wearable devices is output.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the list of alternative wearable devices includes at least one alternative wearable device corresponding to the same account as the terminal device, i.e., all wearable devices corresponding to the same account as the terminal device are displayed in the list of alternative wearable devices.

[0069] In another possible implementation, the list of alternative wearable devices includes alternative wearable devices corresponding to the same account as the terminal device and having established a link with the terminal device, i.e., wearable devices corresponding to the same account as the terminal device and having established a link with the terminal device are displayed in the list of alternative wearable devices.

[0070] In another possible implementation, the list of alternative wearable devices includes alternative wearable devices corresponding to the same account as the terminal device, and in addition, the list of alternative wearable devices also displays the link status corresponding to each of the alternative wearable devices.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more alternative wearable devices can be selected by the user of the terminal device as the target wearable device on which the digital vehicle key takes effect. The terminal device takes the alternative wearable device indicated by the device confirmation instruction as the target wearable device based on the device confirmation instruction input by the user.

[0073] In step 503, the digital vehicle key to be taken effect is sent to the target wearable device, so that the digital vehicle key takes effect on the target wearable device.

[0074] In the above embodiments, the target wearable device can be determined by the user in the alternative wearable device list, achieving the purpose of taking the digital vehicle key to effect on the wearable device, expanding the carrier for storing the digital vehicle key, and improving the portability and usability of the digital vehicle key.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, referring to Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 6, in step 601, the target wearable device on which the digital vehicle key takes effect is determined.

[0077] In step 602, the digital vehicle key to be taken effect is sent to the chip of the target wearable device through the link established between the target wearable device and the terminal device.

[0078] In one possible implementation, if the terminal device and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the terminal device can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0079] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0086] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the specified information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the status information and / or configuration information corresponding to the digital car key.

[0087] In the above embodiments, the terminal device can be used as a device for storing specified information, and the wearable device can save resources in the process of obtaining the effective digital car key on the wearable device, which is simple and has high usability.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, referring to Figure 8 Figure 8 is a method flowchart for sharing a digital car key according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal device, which can be a friend device to be shared, and the method includes the following steps: In step 801, a uniform resource locator (URL) address for sharing a digital car key sent by a car owner terminal device is received.

[0089] The car owner terminal device is a terminal device used by the vehicle owner, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an iPad, etc.

[0090] In step 802, the digital key framework of the terminal device to be shared generates the digital car key to be effective based on the URL address.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device to be shared receives the uniform resource locator (URL) address for sharing the digital car key sent by the car owner terminal device through the built-in digital key framework, which has the function of parsing the URL address. After the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL, the digital car key to be effective is generated. In the present disclosure, the uniform resource locator (URL) address of the digital car key sent by the car owner terminal device is sent to the digital key framework of the terminal device to be shared. After the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL, the information presented to the user interface is not the URL, which avoids the security risk of URL leakage caused by directly presenting the URL on the user interface, and improves the security in the process of sharing the smart car key.

[0092] In step 803, prompt information is output.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the prompt information is used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or the wearable device.

[0094] In step 804, in response to receiving first confirmation information for confirming that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, a target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0095] ​The target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the device to be shared. Target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0096] In one possible implementation, upon receiving the URL address and generating the digital car key to be activated through the digital key framework, a prompt message can be output, and after receiving a first confirmation message to confirm that the digital car key is activated on the wearable device, the target wearable device can be identified.

[0097] In another possible implementation, a list of alternative wearable devices can be output, from which the user selects the target wearable device.

[0098] In step 805, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0099] In one possible implementation, if the terminal device and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the terminal device can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0100] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0101] In another possible implementation, the chip of the target wearable device can be designated SE in order to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0102] In the above embodiments, after receiving the URL address for sharing the digital car key sent by the car owner device, the sharing device can send the digital car key to be activated to the target wearable device, thereby obtaining the activated digital car key on the target wearable device with the same account as the sharing device. This achieves the purpose of making the digital car key effective on the wearable device, expands the carrier for storing the digital car key, improves the portability of the digital car key, and makes it more usable.

[0103] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which is the device to be shared, i.e., a Friend device. The method includes the following steps: In step 901, a uniform resource locator (URL) address for sharing a digital vehicle key sent by a vehicle owner terminal is received.

[0104] The vehicle owner terminal is a terminal used by the vehicle owner, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an iPad, etc. The URL address can be received by the sharing terminal through an end-to-end connection with the vehicle owner terminal.

[0105] In step 902, the digital key framework of the sharing terminal generates the digital vehicle key to be validated based on the URL address.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sharing terminal receives the URL address for sharing the digital vehicle key sent by the vehicle owner terminal through the built-in digital key framework, which has the function of parsing the URL address. After the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL, the digital vehicle key to be validated is generated. The present disclosure sends the URL address of the digital vehicle key sent by the vehicle owner terminal to the digital key framework of the sharing terminal. After the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL, the information presented to the user interface is not the URL, which avoids the security risk of URL leakage caused by directly presenting the URL on the user interface, and improves the security in the process of sharing the smart vehicle key.

The secure link includes but is not limited to a secure link established based on a specified manner. The specified manner can be a Bluetooth pairing manner or another manner, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0117] The chip of the target wearable device can be an SE, so as to protect the digital car key activated on the target wearable device. The to-be-signed data is data corresponding to the digital car key and not confirmed by the owner terminal device.

[0118] In step 906, the to-be-signed data is sent to the owner terminal device.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the to-be-shared terminal device can send the to-be-signed data to the owner terminal device through an end-to-end connection between the terminal device and the owner terminal device.

[0120] In step 907, the signature data sent by the owner terminal device is received.

The chip of the target wearable device can refer to an SE to protect the digital vehicle key validated on the target wearable device.

[0124] In the above embodiments, the target wearable device can be interacted with by the to-be-shared terminal device, so as to achieve the purpose of obtaining the digital vehicle key validated on the target wearable device, expand the carrier for storing the digital vehicle key, and improve the portability and usability of the digital vehicle key.

[0177] In another possible implementation, the alternative wearable device list includes an alternative wearable device corresponding to the same account as the sharing-end device, and in addition, the alternative wearable device list also displays a link state corresponding to each of the alternative wearable devices. The link state is used to indicate whether a link has been established between the terminal device and the alternative wearable device.

[0178] In step 1505, the sharing-end device, in response to receiving the device confirmation instruction, takes the alternative wearable device indicated by the device confirmation instruction as the target wearable device.

[0179] In step 1506, the sharing-end device sends the digital vehicle key to be validated to the chip of the target wearable device through the link already established between the sharing-end device and the target wearable device.
