Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of networked vehicle machines, and specifically relates to a method for automatic replacement of vehicle machine parts. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent connected vehicles refer to the organic combination of vehicle networking and intelligent vehicles. They are equipped with advanced on-vehicle sensors, controllers, actuators and other devices, and integrate modern communication and network technologies to achieve intelligent information exchange and sharing between vehicles and people, roads, backends, etc., realize safe, comfortable, energy-saving and efficient driving, and ultimately can replace humans to operate a new generation of vehicles. Intelligent connected vehicles are an emerging vehicle system that crosses technical and industrial fields. There are differences in understanding it from different perspectives and backgrounds. Different countries have different definitions and names for intelligent connected vehicles, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, driverless vehicles that can drive safely on the road. Intelligent connected vehicles focus more on solving core problems such as safety, energy conservation and environmental protection that restrict the development of the industry. They have the ability of autonomous environmental perception, and their focus is on the vehicle, and the development priority is to improve vehicle safety.

[0003] At present, networked vehicle machines need to implement networked functions such as remote control, data collection, remote diagnosis, OTA upgrade, traffic query, and binding of vehicle owners. These functions all require binding the vehicle machine VIN number, vehicle machine serial number, and SIM card information in the cloud as the only binding relationship. When the networked vehicle machine needs to be replaced in the after-sales 4S store, a diagnostic instrument is required to write the VIN number into the vehicle machine. The 4S store staff manually inform the customer service of the vehicle VIN number, vehicle machine serial number, and SIM card information through WeChat, after-sales system, phone, etc., and then the operation and maintenance personnel enter these information into the system to complete the replacement of all parts in the cloud. The above steps cause a lot of trouble to both the 4S store and the customer service, are prone to manual omissions, and waste human resources.

[0004] Therefore, this patent proposes a method for automatic replacement of vehicle machine parts to solve the problem of manual intervention in part replacement at present. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for automatic replacement of vehicle machine parts in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for automatic replacement of vehicle machine parts, the method for automatic replacement of vehicle machine parts includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: Before replacing parts of the device, import relevant information into the tsp platform, and the relevant information includes vehicle information, vehicle machine information and SIM card information;

[0008] S2: The vehicle machine needs to write the VIN code and ESK code through a diagnostic instrument, and then perform the device part replacement operation;

[0009] S3: After the equipment replacement operation is completed, the 4S shop staff triggers the replacement process through the diagnostic instrument, and the terminal uploads the vehicle VIN code, vehicle PDSN, ICCID and vehicle model information to the cloud, starting the cloud replacement process;

[0010] S4: The cloud verifies the existence of the VIN code and offline time in the offline data of the vehicle through the offline interface of the vehicle. If not, a message is returned to the terminal, indicating that the offline data does not exist and no replacement is required;

[0011] S5: The cloud obtains the information of the vehicle, vehicle computer, and SIM card bound to the VIN code from the backend, and returns an error message if the vehicle information, vehicle computer, and SIM card information are not found;

[0012] S6: The cloud first checks whether the uploaded vehicle machine PDSN is consistent with the original bound PDSN. If they are consistent, a message is directly returned to the terminal, indicating that the vehicle machine PDSN has not changed and does not need to be replaced;

[0013] S7: When the automatic device replacement process fails, the failure reason is returned to the terminal;

[0014] S8: When the automatic equipment replacement process is successful, the replacement part information is synchronized to the big data according to the vehicle model;

[0015] S9: The replacement process is only triggered by the diagnostic instrument. If the device binding data uploaded by the user is inconsistent when binding the car, an error result is returned to the terminal to remind the user to go to the 4S store for processing;

[0016] S10: After the judgment is passed, the cloud deletes the Bluetooth key information related to the original device; the cloud unbinds the vehicle from the original device and adds a binding relationship between the vehicle and the new device; the cloud updates the contract information of the original device to the new device and sends the configuration to the new device;

[0017] S11: After displaying the replacement result information, the entire equipment process ends.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, in step S8, when data synchronization fails, the cloud backend records the synchronization failure status, and synchronizes again later through a scheduled task. The scheduled task is set to synchronize once a day, and the status is updated to synchronization success after synchronization is successful.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, in step S9, when the cloud determines that the vehicle machine PDSN bound to the current VIN code is inconsistent with the uploaded vehicle machine PDSN, automatic parts replacement begins.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, in step S9, the spare parts information of the new device exists, otherwise an error message "the vehicle machine information with PDSN xxxxx does not exist in the cloud, please contact after-sales xxxxx" is returned.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, after the cloud completes the device part replacement, the relevant information of the Bluetooth key will be deleted, so when the terminal uses the Bluetooth key, it will be automatically refreshed.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, when the terminal uses the Bluetooth key, it first queries the cloud to check if there is any relevant information of the Bluetooth key; when the cloud has the Bluetooth key information, there is no need to refresh the Bluetooth key information; when the cloud does not have the Bluetooth key information, the terminal obtains new Bluetooth key information from the tbox, saves it locally and uploads it to the cloud for storage at the same time.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, when the cloud has the Bluetooth key information, there is no need to refresh the Bluetooth key information.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, when the cloud does not have the Bluetooth key information, the terminal obtains new Bluetooth key information from the tbox, saves it locally and uploads it to the cloud for storage at the same time.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, in step S9, if the spare part information of the new SIM card exists, otherwise return the error message "The SIM card information with ICCID xxxxx does not exist in the cloud, please contact the after-sales xxxxx"; if the new car head unit is in normal state, otherwise return the error message "The car head unit with PDSN xxxxx is in the state of xx, please contact the after-sales xxxxx".

[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] In the present invention, a method for replacing parts by artificial after-sales is realized. The part replacement process is triggered by a diagnostic instrument, and the information of the new parts is uploaded through the TBOX. The cloud judges and automatically replaces the parts, and directly returns the result to the diagnostic instrument for display, realizing full-link non-human participation and improving work efficiency.
