Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle intelligent technology, and in particular to a vehicle control method and device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of vehicle intelligence, digital car key technology based on mobile phones or other wearable devices is becoming more mature and gradually replacing traditional physical keys. After the user installs the digital car key, he can control the car through the mobile phone App (Application) or applet, such as unlocking the door and opening the trunk. The keyless entry system of the traditional physical key has been mature and stable and has been widely used in multiple car series, so that users do not need to operate the key manually. They only need to bring the key close to the vehicle to automatically unlock it, and the vehicle will automatically lock when they are away. With the popularization of digital car keys, vehicle control technology based on Bluetooth technology (such as digital key non-sensing entry technology) is being widely studied and applied to some car series by car companies.

[0003] Bluetooth technology is applied to automobiles, and can be divided into two solutions: single Bluetooth and multi-Bluetooth. Single Bluetooth has low positioning accuracy, but due to its simple installation and low cost, it is widely used in four-wheel vehicles that are installed later. Multi-Bluetooth improves positioning accuracy, but the installation process is complicated, so it is widely used in four-wheel vehicles that come with factory-installed sensorless functions. In the scenario of sensorless entry into the car, a solution combining APP and Bluetooth pairing is usually used. For example, the App is in a keep-alive state. When the App detects that the vehicle is nearby, it connects to Bluetooth, and then controls the vehicle on the mobile phone or the car side according to the signal strength. This method relies on the APP's ability to keep alive. However, in some cases (such as when the user accidentally kills the APP), it is difficult to keep the APP alive, which affects the vehicle control effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vehicle control solution with high stability and accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0004] On the one hand, one or more embodiments of the present specification provide a vehicle control method, comprising: in response to detecting that an electronic device is located within a first preset distance of a target vehicle, establishing a short-range wireless connection between a first short-range wireless communication module in the target vehicle and the electronic device.

[0014] One or more embodiments of the present specification provide a vehicle control method to solve the problems of poor stability and low precision of existing vehicle control.

[0015] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification, the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in one or more embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on one or more embodiments of this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of one or more embodiments of this specification.

[0016] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an embodiment of this specification, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0017] S102, in response to detecting that the electronic device is located within a first preset distance of the target vehicle, establishing a short-range wireless connection between a first short-range wireless communication module in the target vehicle and the electronic device.

[0018] Among them, the first preset distance can be pre-set as a fixed value, which can be automatically set by the vehicle control system (such as the vehicle computer system) according to the safety distance controlled by the vehicle, or can be customized by the user according to actual needs.

[0019] S104: Perform security authentication on the electronic device based on the short-range wireless connection between the first short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device.

[0020] S106: If the security authentication is passed, a short-range wireless connection is established between the second short-range wireless communication module in the target vehicle and the electronic device.

[0021] S108, based on the short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, correspondingly controlling the target vehicle.

[0022] This embodiment does not limit the control object of the vehicle, which can be any one or more functions of the vehicle, such as controlling the unlocking / unlocking of the vehicle, controlling the opening / closing of the vehicle trunk, controlling the turning on / off of the lights, etc.

[0023] In this embodiment, a plurality of short-range wireless communication modules are installed in the target vehicle, including a first short-range wireless communication module and at least one second short-range wireless communication module. When it is detected that the electronic device is located within a first preset distance of the target vehicle, a short-range wireless connection is first established only with the communication module of the first distance wireless module, and based on the short-range wireless connection with the communication module of the first distance wireless module, the electronic device is security authenticated, and only after the security authentication is passed, a short-range wireless connection is established between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, thereby avoiding other devices that have not been security authenticated from connecting to the target vehicle and controlling the target vehicle, thereby improving the safety of vehicle control.

[0024] In one embodiment, the first short-range wireless communication module and the second short-range wireless communication module are Bluetooth modules, and the short-range wireless connection is a Bluetooth connection.

[0025] The technical solution of one or more embodiments of the present specification is adopted. When it is detected that the electronic device is located within the first preset distance of the target vehicle, a short-range wireless connection is first established between the first short-range wireless communication module in the target vehicle and the electronic device, and based on the short-range wireless connection between the communication module and the first distance wireless module, the electronic device is security authenticated, and after the security authentication is passed, a short-range wireless connection is further established between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, so that the target vehicle is controlled accordingly based on the short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device. Compared with the existing vehicle control solution that relies on APP to keep alive, this technical solution decouples the dependency between the target vehicle and the APP, so that vehicle control can be achieved only by establishing a short-range wireless connection between multiple short-range wireless communication modules in the target vehicle and the electronic device, thereby greatly improving the stability of vehicle control based on the stability characteristics of the short-range wireless connection. In addition, the stability of the short-range wireless connection can avoid the situation of communication interruption, so that the vehicle control will not be affected by the communication interruption and cannot accurately respond to the signal, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle control.

[0026] In one embodiment, the short-range wireless communication function of the second short-range wireless communication module is in a closed state by default. After the short-range wireless connection between the first short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device is established and the security authentication of the electronic device is passed, the short-range wireless communication function of the second short-range wireless communication module is turned on to establish the short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device.

[0027] In this embodiment, by only establishing a short-range wireless connection between the first short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device and turning on the short-range wireless communication function of the second short-range wireless communication module after the security authentication of the electronic device has been passed, it is possible to avoid establishing a connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and a device that has not passed security authentication, thereby making the wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device more efficient, accurate and secure.

[0028] In one embodiment, when security authentication of an electronic device is performed based on a short-range wireless connection between a first short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, device-related information corresponding to the electronic device can be first determined, and then, based on vehicle-related information corresponding to a preset target vehicle, it is determined whether the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device matches the vehicle-related information. If they match, it is determined that the security authentication of the electronic device has passed.

[0029] Among them, the device-related information may include at least one of the device name of the electronic device, the device nickname customized by the user for the electronic device, the user's identity information, the module name of the short-range wireless communication module in the electronic device, etc. The vehicle-related information may include at least one of the identity information of the user corresponding to the target vehicle, the device information of the electronic device held by the user, etc. The user corresponding to the target vehicle can be understood as the owner of the target vehicle, and the electronic device held by the user can be understood as the electronic device held by the owner of the target vehicle (may include one or more). The user's identity information may include the user's name, nickname, certificate number that can prove the user's identity, contact number and other information, and the device information of the electronic device may include at least one of the device name, the device nickname customized by the user for the electronic device, the module name of the short-range wireless communication module in the electronic device, etc.

[0030] The vehicle-related information corresponding to the target vehicle can be pre-set and stored in the vehicle control system (such as the vehicle computer system). When the vehicle control system performs security authentication on the electronic device, it can first determine the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device, and then match the device-related information with the vehicle-related information pre-stored in the vehicle control system to obtain a result of whether the security authentication is passed.

[0031] Optionally, when determining whether the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device matches the vehicle-related information, the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device may be matched with the vehicle-related relationship, for example, the device name of the electronic device to be authenticated may be matched with the device information of the electronic device held by the user included in the vehicle-related information. If the match is successful (such as the device names are the same), it can be determined that the security authentication of the electronic device has passed. For another example, the device name of the electronic device to be authenticated may be matched with the user name included in the vehicle-related information. If the user name included in the vehicle-related information is associated with a device name, the device name of the electronic device to be authenticated may be matched with the device name associated with the user name included in the vehicle-related information. If the match is successful (such as the device names are the same), it can be determined that the security authentication of the electronic device has passed.

[0032] In this embodiment, the electronic device is securely authenticated by matching the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device with the vehicle-related information corresponding to the preset target vehicle, making the security authentication of the electronic device more convenient and accurate, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of vehicle control.

[0033] In one embodiment, the target vehicle includes a plurality of second short-range wireless communication modules. When establishing short-range wireless connections between the plurality of second short-range wireless communication modules and the electronic device, the priority order of establishing short-range wireless connections between the second short-range wireless communication modules and the electronic device may be determined first, and then based on the priority order, the short-range wireless connection between each second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device may be established in sequence.

[0034] Optionally, when establishing a short-range wireless connection between each second short-range wireless communication module and an electronic device in sequence, for the second short-range wireless communication module to be connected currently, the electronic device may be firstly subjected to security authentication, and if the authentication is passed, a short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module to be connected currently and the electronic device is established. After determining that the short-range wireless connection corresponding to the second short-range wireless communication module to be connected currently is successfully established, a short-range wireless connection is established between the next second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device. The short-range wireless connection corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module is established in the same manner. For example, when establishing a short-range wireless connection between the next second short-range wireless communication module and an electronic device, the electronic device may be first subjected to security authentication, and if the authentication is passed, a short-range wireless connection is established between the next second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, until a short-range wireless connection between each second short-range wireless communication module and an electronic device is successfully established.

[0035] Optionally, in the process of establishing a short-range wireless connection between each second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, the security authentication method for the electronic device can be: first determine the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device, and then judge whether the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device matches the vehicle-associated information based on the vehicle-associated information corresponding to the preset target vehicle. If they match, it is determined that the security authentication of the electronic device is passed.

[0036] Among them, the device-related information may include at least one of the device name of the electronic device, the device nickname customized by the user for the electronic device, the user's identity information, the module name of the short-range wireless communication module in the electronic device, etc. The vehicle-related information may include at least one of the identity information of the user corresponding to the target vehicle, the device information of the electronic device held by the user, etc. The user corresponding to the target vehicle can be understood as the owner of the target vehicle, and the electronic device held by the user can be understood as the electronic device held by the owner of the target vehicle (may include one or more). The user's identity information may include the user's name, nickname, certificate number that can prove the user's identity, contact number and other information, and the device information of the electronic device may include at least one of the device name, the device nickname customized by the user for the electronic device, the module name of the short-range wireless communication module in the electronic device, etc.

[0037] The vehicle-related information corresponding to the target vehicle can be pre-set and stored in the vehicle control system (such as the vehicle computer system). When the vehicle control system performs security authentication on the electronic device, it can first determine the device-related information corresponding to the electronic device, and then match the device-related information with the vehicle-related information pre-stored in the vehicle control system to obtain a result of whether the security authentication is passed.

[0038] In this embodiment, in the case where there are multiple second short-range wireless communication modules, by establishing a short-range wireless connection between each second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device in turn, and each short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device requires security authentication of the electronic device, it can be ensured that the electronic devices that establish short-range wireless connections with each second short-range wireless communication module are safe, thereby ensuring the safety of vehicle control.

[0039] In one embodiment, taking into account the possibility that other electronic devices may exist around the target vehicle during the process of establishing a short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, when establishing a short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module currently to be connected and the electronic device, it is possible to first determine whether the electronic device is a device that establishes a short-range wireless connection with the first short-range wireless communication module; if so, a short-range wireless connection is established between the second short-range wireless communication module currently to be connected and the electronic device.

[0040] In this embodiment, by judging whether the electronic device that is about to establish a short-range wireless connection with the second short-range wireless communication module is a device that establishes a short-range wireless connection with the first short-range wireless communication module, and establishing a short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device only if it is, it can ensure that the first short-range wireless communication module and each second short-range wireless communication module are connected to the same electronic device, thereby avoiding inaccurate vehicle control when the short-range wireless communication modules are connected to different electronic devices, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle control.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the target vehicle is controlled accordingly based on the short-range wireless connection between the second short-range wireless communication module and the electronic device, the target signal strength between the electronic device and the target vehicle can be determined according to the signal strength of the short-range wireless connection corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module; and then the target vehicle is controlled accordingly according to the target signal strength.

[0042] Optionally, if the target signal strength is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, the target vehicle is controlled to be unlocked. If the target signal strength is less than a second preset threshold, the target vehicle is controlled to be locked. The first preset threshold is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold.

[0043] In one embodiment, when determining the target signal strength between the electronic device and the target vehicle according to the signal strength of the short-range wireless connection corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module, it can be determined according to any of the following methods:

[0044] Method 1: determining the minimum signal strength corresponding to the plurality of second short-range wireless communication modules as the target signal strength.

[0045] In this manner, the vehicle control system obtains the signal strength corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module, and determines the minimum signal strength therein, determines the minimum signal strength as the target signal strength, and uses it to control the target vehicle.

[0046] Method 2: determining the maximum signal strength corresponding to the plurality of second short-range wireless communication modules as the target signal strength.

[0047] In this manner, the vehicle control system obtains the signal strength corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module, and determines the maximum signal strength therein, determines the maximum signal strength as the target signal strength, and uses it to control the target vehicle.

[0048] Method three: determining an average value of the signal strengths corresponding to the plurality of second short-range wireless communication modules, and determining the average value as the target signal strength.

[0049] In this manner, the vehicle control system obtains the signal strength corresponding to each second short-range wireless communication module, and determines the average value of each signal strength, and determines the average value as the target signal strength, and uses it to control the target vehicle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the target vehicle is controlled according to the target signal strength of the short-range wireless connection between the electronic device and the target vehicle, so that the vehicle control is decoupled from the dependency between the APP, thereby greatly improving the stability of the vehicle control based on the stability characteristics of the short-range wireless connection.

[0051] The following takes Bluetooth connection as an example of a short-range wireless connection to explain in detail the vehicle control method provided in this manual.

[0052] Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a target vehicle according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 2As shown, the target vehicle is equipped with multiple Bluetooth modules (i.e., short-range wireless communication modules), and the numbers 1-6 shown in the figure represent the respective Bluetooth modules, wherein Bluetooth module No. 1 is the first short-range wireless communication module, and Bluetooth modules No. 2-6 are the second short-range wireless communication modules. It should be noted that Figure 2 This is only an exemplary structural diagram, and the number and installation position of each Bluetooth module in the target vehicle are not limited. For example, the target vehicle may also include 1 first Bluetooth module (i.e., the first short-range wireless communication module) and 2, 3, 4, or 6 second Bluetooth modules (i.e., the second short-range wireless communication modules).

[0053] Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 2 Taking the target vehicle shown in the figure as an example, the target vehicle includes Bluetooth modules 1-6, wherein Bluetooth module 1 is the first Bluetooth module and Bluetooth modules 2-6 are the second Bluetooth modules. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle control method is applied to the vehicle system of the target vehicle, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] S301, detecting that an electronic device is located within a first preset distance of a target vehicle, and establishing a Bluetooth connection between a first Bluetooth module and the electronic device.

[0055] The first preset distance may be preset as a fixed value, which may be automatically set by the vehicle system according to the safety distance controlled by the vehicle, or may be customized by the user according to actual needs. For example, the first preset distance is preset to 2 meters.

[0056] S302: Perform security authentication on the electronic device based on the Bluetooth connection between the first Bluetooth module and the electronic device.

[0057] Optionally, vehicle association information corresponding to the target vehicle is pre-stored in the vehicle system, and the vehicle association information may include at least one of the identity information of the user corresponding to the target vehicle, the device information of the electronic device held by the user, etc. The user corresponding to the target vehicle can be understood as the owner of the target vehicle, and the electronic device held by the user can be understood as the electronic device held by the owner of the target vehicle (may include one or more). The user's identity information may include the user's name, nickname, certificate number that can prove the user's identity, contact number and other information, and the device information of the electronic device may include at least one of the device name, the device nickname customized by the user for the electronic device, and the module name of the Bluetooth module in the electronic device.

[0058] S303: If the security authentication is passed, the Bluetooth function of each second Bluetooth module is enabled.

[0059] In this embodiment, the Bluetooth function of the second Bluetooth module is in a disabled state by default, and the Bluetooth function of the second Bluetooth module is activated only when the security authentication of the electronic device is passed in S302. For example, the broadcast of each second Bluetooth module is turned on so that the electronic device can search for the broadcast signal of the second Bluetooth module.

[0060] S304: Establishing a Bluetooth connection between the second Bluetooth module to be connected and the electronic device according to the priority order of each second Bluetooth module.

[0061] Among them, the priority order of each second Bluetooth module can be predetermined and stored in the vehicle system, or it can be determined in real time after turning on the Bluetooth function of each second Bluetooth module. The priority order of each second Bluetooth module can be a randomly determined priority, or it can be determined according to the distance between the electronic device and the second Bluetooth module. For example, assuming that the distance between the electronic device and Bluetooth modules No. 2-6 is Bluetooth modules No. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 from near to far, the priority order of each second Bluetooth module can be Bluetooth modules No. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

[0062] S305: During the process of establishing the Bluetooth connection between the second Bluetooth module and the electronic device, security authentication is performed on the electronic device.

[0063] The security authentication method for the electronic device in step S305 is the same as the security authentication method for the electronic device in step S302, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] S306: If the security authentication is passed, the Bluetooth pairing between the second Bluetooth module to be connected and the electronic device is completed.

[0065] S307, determine whether there is any unconnected second Bluetooth module. If yes, return to S304, establish a Bluetooth connection between the unconnected second Bluetooth module and the electronic device. If no, execute S308.

[0066] S308, obtaining the signal strength between each second Bluetooth module and the electronic device, and determining the target signal strength corresponding to the target vehicle according to the average value of each signal strength.

[0067] In this step, the average value of each signal strength is used as the target signal strength corresponding to the target vehicle. In other embodiments, the target signal strength can also be determined in other ways, such as determining any one of the minimum signal strength, maximum signal strength, etc. among the signal strengths as the target signal strength.

[0068] S309, if the target signal strength is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, the target vehicle is controlled to be unlocked; if the target signal strength is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the target vehicle is controlled to be locked.

[0069] This embodiment uses the example of controlling the unlocking / locking of the target vehicle as an example to explain when controlling the target vehicle based on the target signal strength. In some scenarios, the target vehicle can also be controlled to perform other functions based on the target signal strength, such as controlling the opening / closing of the trunk of the target vehicle, controlling the turning on / off of the lights, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the electronic device is within the first preset distance of the target vehicle, a Bluetooth connection between the first Bluetooth module in the target vehicle and the electronic device is first established, and based on the Bluetooth connection between the first Bluetooth communication module, the electronic device is security authenticated, and after the security authentication is passed, a Bluetooth connection between the second Bluetooth module and the electronic device is further established, so that the target vehicle is controlled accordingly based on the Bluetooth connection between the second Bluetooth module and the electronic device. Compared with the existing vehicle control scheme that relies on APP to keep alive, this technical scheme decouples the dependency between the target vehicle and the APP, so that the vehicle control can be achieved only by establishing a Bluetooth connection between multiple Bluetooth modules in the target vehicle and the electronic device, thereby greatly improving the stability of the vehicle control based on the stability characteristics of the Bluetooth connection. In addition, the stability of the Bluetooth connection can avoid the situation of communication interruption, so that the vehicle control will not be affected by the communication interruption and cannot accurately respond to the signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the vehicle control. In addition, in the process of establishing a Bluetooth connection between multiple Bluetooth modules and electronic devices, the electronic device will be security authenticated, so as to ensure the safety of vehicle control.

In some cases, the actions recorded in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve the desired results.
