[0028] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with one or more embodiments of this specification. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of one or more embodiments of this specification as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding method are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this specification. In some other embodiments, the steps included in the method may be more or less than those described in this specification. In addition, a single step described in this specification may be decomposed into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; and multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step for description in other embodiments.

[0030] In related technologies, when realizing contactless entry into the vehicle, the vehicle needs to use the Bluetooth module it is equipped with to receive the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile phone carried by the user for positioning, and then determine whether the distance between the owner and the vehicle reaches a preset threshold based on the positioning distance to determine whether the vehicle should be unlocked or locked.

[0031] Depending on the number of Bluetooth modules installed on the vehicle, the positioning solution can be divided into a positioning solution based on a single Bluetooth module and a positioning solution based on multiple Bluetooth modules.

[0032] Due to the limitations of Bluetooth signal wavelength and power, the positioning accuracy is usually not high when positioning is based on a single Bluetooth module, and the positioning error can even reach 2 meters. When positioning is based on multiple Bluetooth modules, the positioning error is only about 30 centimeters, which is much smaller than the positioning solution based on a single Bluetooth chip.

[0033] Although the positioning solution based on a single Bluetooth module has low positioning accuracy, it is often used for later modification of vehicles due to its simple installation and low cost. By adding Bluetooth modules to vehicles that do not have the sensorless entry function, the sensorless function can be realized. Although the positioning solution based on multiple Bluetooth modules can improve positioning accuracy, due to the complex installation process, it is usually installed by car manufacturers when producing vehicles, so that the vehicles have the sensorless function when they leave the factory.

[0034] In the above process, when the vehicle is making a judgment on the contactless entry control, the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal received by the Bluetooth module (Received Signal Strength Indicator, RSSI) can be used to judge the distance. The closer the mobile phone is to the vehicle, the greater the signal strength, and vice versa, the farther the distance is, the smaller the signal strength.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a non-sensing vehicle entry control provided by an exemplary embodiment of this specification. Figure 1 As shown, since the vehicle has established a Bluetooth connection with the owner's mobile phone, when the owner walks to position A, the vehicle can receive the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile phone, and determine that the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal is greater than the first threshold, and the vehicle performs an unlocking operation, so that the owner can unlock the vehicle without operating the mobile phone and the vehicle. When the owner leaves the vehicle and walks to position B, the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile phone received by the vehicle is less than the first threshold, and the vehicle can perform a locking operation.

[0036] It is worth noting that the vehicle owner can also set a second threshold for the vehicle to determine whether to lock the vehicle, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the owner leaves the vehicle and walks to position C, the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile phone received by the vehicle is less than the second threshold, and the vehicle can perform the locking operation.

[0037] During the process of contactless entry into the vehicle, whether it is a positioning solution based on a single Bluetooth module or a positioning solution based on multiple Bluetooth modules, when the vehicle establishes a Bluetooth connection with the digital car key, a connection solution based on application preservation or a solution based on Bluetooth protocol pairing can be adopted.

[0038] Among them, application keep-alive means that the application process of the mobile phone is not blocked by the system. If the keep-alive solution is not used, the application is likely to be blocked in the background due to insufficient resources, resulting in the user being unable to receive important messages in time, which affects the user experience.

[0039] At present, in the connection solution based on application keep-alive, the application needs to be in a keep-alive state at all times, so that when a vehicle is detected nearby, a Bluetooth connection can be initiated and security authentication can be performed. After the authentication is completed, the vehicle determines the distance based on the Bluetooth signal strength and decides whether to control the vehicle based on the distance.

[0040] However, due to the limitations of the mobile phone system, the application's ability to stay alive is limited. It is possible that a user stands next to a vehicle, but cannot initiate a connection because the application has been blocked by the system. Therefore, connection solutions based on application keep-alive are difficult to provide a stable user experience.

[0041] The Bluetooth protocol (The Human Interface Device, HID) defines the protocol, features and usage procedures of Bluetooth in human-machine interface devices. The Bluetooth HID protocol can be used to achieve pairing and data transmission between Bluetooth devices. For example, once the Bluetooth pairing between a vehicle and a mobile phone is established, a Bluetooth connection can be automatically established when the mobile phone is near the vehicle. Therefore, the solution based on the Bluetooth protocol pairing is more stable because it does not rely on the ability of the application to keep alive.

[0042] In the related art, when the above-mentioned Bluetooth pairing-based solution is applied, whether the vehicle is paired with the Bluetooth of the mobile phone is usually equated with whether the vehicle's touchless entry control function is turned on. For example, if it is detected that the vehicle has been paired with the mobile phone through Bluetooth, then it is considered that the vehicle has turned on the touchless entry control function, and if it is detected that the vehicle has not been paired with the mobile phone through Bluetooth, then it is considered that the vehicle has turned off the touchless entry control function.

[0043] However, in the above process, on the one hand, since the basic principle of the Bluetooth HID protocol is to encrypt the transmitted data by negotiating a long-term key, the security when using a long-term key needs to be strengthened; on the other hand, since Bluetooth pairing is suitable for multiple application scenarios, for example, users can realize multimedia data transmission through Bluetooth pairing between mobile phones and car computers, so that the car computer can play music on the mobile phone, but since the contactless entry limits the use scenarios of Bluetooth pairing, a new Bluetooth module is needed to support other application scenarios that require Bluetooth pairing.

[0044] It is worth noting that when the vehicle's senseless entry function is turned off, the vehicle's Bluetooth module will delete the key negotiated during pairing, but the pairing key on the mobile phone is not deleted, resulting in the vehicle and the mobile phone being unable to connect again due to security verification failure. Moreover, when pairing again, the pairing process cannot be triggered because the mobile phone still saves the previous pairing information. This requires users to manually clear the pairing information on the mobile phone when turning off the vehicle's senseless entry function, affecting the user experience.

[0045] In view of this, this specification provides a technical solution for changing the value of the flag bit maintained by the vehicle for indicating the activation status of the contactless entry function by receiving an activation instruction from the client, thereby removing the association between whether the contactless entry function is activated and whether Bluetooth is paired.

[0046] In implementation, in response to a Bluetooth signal sent by a scanned vehicle, the client may establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle; wherein the vehicle and the mobile terminal where the client is located are pre-paired by Bluetooth;

[0047] The vehicle maintains a flag for indicating the activation status of the sensorless entry function;

[0048] For example, after the mobile terminal where the client is located has been paired with the vehicle via Bluetooth, it can scan for Bluetooth signals, and after scanning the Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle, the client can establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle.

[0049] Then, in response to the successful establishment of the Bluetooth connection, the client can send an activation instruction for the contactless entry function to the vehicle, so that the vehicle responds to the activation instruction, activates the contactless entry function, and sets the value of the flag bit to a first preset value; wherein the first preset value is used to indicate that the contactless entry function is in an activated state.

[0050] For example, after the Bluetooth connection is successfully established, the user can send an activation instruction for the contactless entry function to the vehicle through the client. After receiving the activation instruction, the vehicle can activate the contactless entry function by setting the value of the flag bit to the first preset value.

[0051] In the above process, by introducing a flag to indicate the activation status of the senseless entry function, the association between whether the senseless entry function is activated and whether Bluetooth is paired is eliminated, thereby avoiding the problem of senseless entry restricting the use scenario of Bluetooth pairing, so the user experience is better. In addition, since the modification of the flag depends on the client's instructions, the security issues that may be caused by the use of long-term keys for Bluetooth pairing are avoided, so the security is stronger. In addition, the above solution is compatible with various mobile terminals, so it has strong versatility and a wide range of applications.

[0052] The method for managing contactless vehicle entry of this specification is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for managing contactless vehicle entry is provided as an exemplary embodiment of this specification.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the method is applied to the client and includes the following execution steps:

[0055] Step 201, in response to a Bluetooth signal sent by a scanned vehicle, establishing a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle; wherein the vehicle and the mobile terminal where the client is located are pre-paired by Bluetooth;

[0056] Step 202, in response to the successful establishment of the Bluetooth connection, sending an activation instruction for the contactless entry function to the vehicle, so that the vehicle responds to the activation instruction, activates the contactless entry function, and sets the value of the flag bit to a first preset value; wherein the first preset value is used to indicate that the contactless entry function is in an activated state.

[0057] Among them, the vehicle maintains a flag to indicate the activation status of the contactless entry function.

[0058] The above-mentioned mobile terminal can be a mobile device with a Bluetooth module, such as a smart phone, a wearable device, or the like, or it can be a dedicated mobile Bluetooth terminal corresponding to the vehicle and used to control the vehicle, which is not limited in this specification.

[0059] The above-mentioned contactless entry function is a function for the user to control the contactless entry of the vehicle through a mobile terminal. The contactless entry control may include controlling the contactless entry and unlocking of the vehicle when the user holds the mobile terminal and approaches the vehicle; and controlling the contactless entry and locking of the vehicle when the user holds the mobile terminal and moves away from the vehicle.

[0060] For example, when a user approaches or moves away from a vehicle holding a mobile terminal, the vehicle can receive the Bluetooth signal sent by the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth connection and obtain the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal; if the signal strength rises to the signal strength threshold, the vehicle is unlocked for contactless entry; if the signal strength drops to the signal strength threshold, the vehicle is locked for contactless entry.

[0061] In this embodiment, in response to a Bluetooth signal sent by a scanned vehicle, the client may establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle; wherein the vehicle and the mobile terminal where the client is located are pre-paired by Bluetooth.

[0062] For example, after the mobile terminal where the client is located has been paired with the vehicle via Bluetooth, it can scan for Bluetooth signals, and after scanning the Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle, the client can establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle.

[0063] It should be noted that the above-mentioned vehicles need to use the Bluetooth module they are equipped with to achieve Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth connection.

[0064] In one embodiment shown, the client may include: a native application installed in the operating system carried by the mobile terminal; or a small program running on the native application.

[0065] For example, car companies can develop native applications that are installed in the operating system of mobile terminals, or small programs that run on the native applications to manage contactless entry into the vehicle.

[0066] It should be noted that before establishing a Bluetooth connection, the vehicle and the mobile terminal where the client is located need to be paired with Bluetooth first.

[0067] Since the Android system provides a standardized pairing interface, when pairing, the Android phone can pair with the car's Bluetooth by directly calling the system pairing interface.

[0068] For example, the Android system provides a first API interface for Bluetooth pairing and a second API interface for deleting Bluetooth pairing, which can facilitate Bluetooth pairing and deletion of Bluetooth pairing.

[0069] The Apple system is relatively closed and has high security requirements for third-party devices connected to the Apple system. Therefore, it only provides a pairing interface to the Apple ecosystem, which makes the pairing process more cumbersome when pairing Apple phones.

[0070] Although the Apple system can use a solution to improve the security level of Bluetooth basic services when pairing, that is, the car Bluetooth module actively disconnects the Bluetooth connection with the Apple phone and improves the security level of Bluetooth basic services, so that when the Apple phone performs Bluetooth scanning, it needs to obtain higher permissions because it finds that the security level of the car Bluetooth module has been improved, thereby triggering pairing. However, if the car Bluetooth module is already connected to multiple devices before disconnection, disconnection will cause multiple devices to re-enter the pairing process.

[0071] Therefore, for an operating system that does not provide an API interface for Bluetooth pairing management, a universal Bluetooth pairing solution is needed.

[0072] In one embodiment shown, the operating system of the mobile terminal does not provide an API interface for Bluetooth pairing management;

[0073] Furthermore, a Bluetooth pairing request can be sent to the vehicle; wherein the Bluetooth pairing request includes the Bluetooth address of the mobile terminal to trigger the vehicle to actively initiate Bluetooth pairing with the mobile terminal based on the Bluetooth address, and after the Bluetooth pairing is successful, actively disconnect the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0074] For example, the mobile terminal may first send a Bluetooth pairing request to the vehicle, and then the vehicle may actively initiate Bluetooth pairing with the mobile terminal according to the Bluetooth address of the mobile terminal in the Bluetooth pairing request. When the Bluetooth pairing is successful, the vehicle actively disconnects the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0075] It is worth noting that although the vehicle can actively initiate Bluetooth pairing to trigger the pairing process on the mobile terminal side, there may be a problem that the pairing cannot be connected normally when the vehicle actively initiates Bluetooth pairing. Therefore, the vehicle can actively disconnect the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle after the Bluetooth pairing is successful.

[0076] In one embodiment shown, in response to the vehicle disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle, a rescan of the Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle can be triggered; and, in response to the scanned Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle, a Bluetooth backconnection can be initiated to the vehicle to re-establish the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0077] For example, after Bluetooth pairing is successful, the vehicle actively disconnects the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle. In order to reestablish the Bluetooth connection, the client can rescan the Bluetooth signal and initiate a Bluetooth backconnection to the vehicle when a Bluetooth signal from the vehicle is scanned, so as to reestablish the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0078] In one embodiment shown, the operating system installed in the mobile terminal is an IOS system.

[0079] For example, the mobile terminal is an Apple mobile phone equipped with an IOS system, or an Apple watch equipped with an IOS system.

[0080] In this embodiment, in response to the successful establishment of the Bluetooth connection, an activation instruction for the contactless entry function can be sent to the vehicle, so that the vehicle responds to the activation instruction, activates the contactless entry function, and sets the value of the flag bit to a first preset value; wherein the first preset value is used to indicate that the contactless entry function is in an activated state.

[0081] For example, after the Bluetooth connection is successfully established, the user can send an activation instruction for the senseless entry function to the vehicle through the client. After receiving the activation instruction, the vehicle can activate the senseless entry function by setting the value of the flag bit maintained for indicating the activation status of the senseless entry function to a first preset value.

[0082] In one embodiment shown, a shutdown command for the contactless entry function can be sent to the vehicle, so that the vehicle responds to the shutdown command, determines whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted, and when it is determined that the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted, turns off the contactless entry function and sets the value of the flag bit to a second preset value; wherein the second preset value indicates that the contactless entry function is in a turned-off state; and, when it is determined that the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has not been deleted, sends a prompt message to the user through the mobile terminal to prompt the user to manually delete the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle on the mobile terminal.

[0083] It should be noted that the first preset value may be set to 1, and the second preset value may be set to 0, which may be determined by those skilled in the art as needed.

[0084] For example, after the vehicle receives a shutdown instruction for the sensorless entry function, it can determine whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted in response to the shutdown instruction;

[0085] If yes, the sensorless entry function is turned off, and the value of the vehicle maintenance flag is set to the second preset value;

[0086] If not, a prompt message is sent to the user via the mobile terminal to prompt the user to manually delete the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle on the mobile terminal.

[0087] Through the above process, various problems caused by the pairing not being deleted after turning off the contactless entry function as described above can be avoided.

[0088] In one embodiment shown, it is possible to determine whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted by judging whether the Bluetooth connection is in an SMP Bluetooth safety mode.

[0089] The above SMP (Security Manage Protocol) defines the process of Bluetooth pairing and key distribution, which can be used for Bluetooth security management. The SMP Bluetooth security mode describes the state of the key negotiated during the pairing process. If the key expires or is deleted, the state of the SMP Bluetooth security mode will also change synchronously.

[0090] For example, if the Bluetooth connection is in SMP Bluetooth security mode, it means that the key is still valid, and it can be determined that the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle still exists; if the Bluetooth connection is not in SMP Bluetooth security mode, it means that the key is invalid or deleted, and it can be determined that the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted.

[0091] In the above process, by introducing a flag to indicate the activation status of the senseless entry function, the association between whether the senseless entry function is activated and whether Bluetooth is paired is eliminated, thereby avoiding the problem of senseless entry restricting the use scenario of Bluetooth pairing, so the user experience is better. In addition, since the modification of the flag depends on the client's instructions, the security issues that may be caused by the use of long-term keys for Bluetooth pairing are avoided, so the security is stronger. In addition, the above solution is compatible with various mobile terminals, so it has strong versatility and a wide range of applications.

[0092] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 The flowchart of another method for managing a vehicle without a sense of entry is provided as an exemplary embodiment of this specification. Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to a vehicle and includes the following execution steps:

[0093] Step 301, receiving an activation instruction for the senseless entry function sent by a client; the activation instruction is sent after the client successfully establishes a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle in response to a Bluetooth signal sent by the scanned vehicle; wherein the vehicle and the mobile terminal where the client is located are pre-paired by Bluetooth;

[0094] Step 302, in response to the activation instruction, activate the sensorless entry function, and set the value of the flag bit to a first preset value; wherein the first preset value is used to indicate that the sensorless entry function is in an activated state.

[0095] Among them, the vehicle maintains a flag bit for indicating the activation status of the contactless entry function.

[0096] In one embodiment shown, the operating system of the mobile terminal does not provide an API interface for Bluetooth pairing management;

[0097] Furthermore, the vehicle can receive a Bluetooth pairing request sent by a client; wherein the Bluetooth pairing request includes the Bluetooth address of the mobile terminal; and, in response to the Bluetooth pairing request, actively initiate Bluetooth pairing to the mobile terminal based on the Bluetooth address, and after the Bluetooth pairing is successful, actively disconnect the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0098] In one embodiment shown, the vehicle can receive a shutdown instruction for the contactless entry function sent by the client; in response to the shutdown instruction, determine whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted; if so, turn off the contactless entry function, and set the value of the flag bit to a second preset value; wherein the second preset value indicates that the contactless entry function is in a turned-off state; if not, send a prompt message to the user via the mobile terminal to prompt the user to manually delete the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle on the mobile terminal.

[0099] In one embodiment shown, the vehicle may determine whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted by judging whether the Bluetooth connection is in an SMP Bluetooth safety mode.

[0100] In the above process, by introducing a flag to indicate the activation status of the senseless entry function, the association between whether the senseless entry function is activated and whether Bluetooth is paired is eliminated, thereby avoiding the problem of senseless entry restricting the use scenario of Bluetooth pairing, so the user experience is better. In addition, since the modification of the flag depends on the client's instructions, the security issues that may be caused by the use of long-term keys for Bluetooth pairing are avoided, so the security is stronger. In addition, the above solution is compatible with various mobile terminals, so it has strong versatility and a wide range of applications.

[0101] It should be noted that the specific details of the above-mentioned management method for contactless entry applied to the vehicle have been described in detail in the previously described process of the management method for contactless entry applied to the client. Those skilled in the art can refer to the relevant description of the management method for contactless entry applied to the client, which will not be repeated here.

[0102] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 An interactive diagram of a method for managing a senseless vehicle entry provided by an exemplary embodiment of this specification, such as Figure 4 As shown, taking the activation of the touchless entry function on a mobile terminal equipped with an IOS system as an example, the method may include the following steps:

[0103] S401: The client sends a Bluetooth pairing request to the vehicle;

[0104] The Bluetooth pairing request includes the Bluetooth address of the mobile terminal.

[0105] The above-mentioned client includes: a native application installed in the operating system carried by the mobile terminal; or a small program running on the native application.

[0106] It is worth noting that for the Android system, since an API interface for Bluetooth pairing management is provided, the client can directly perform Bluetooth pairing with the vehicle by calling the API interface.

[0107] S402: The vehicle actively initiates Bluetooth pairing with the mobile terminal based on the Bluetooth address.

[0108] S403: The mobile terminal notifies the user to confirm pairing through a pop-up window.

[0109] The user can complete the Bluetooth pairing by clicking to confirm the pairing on the pop-up window output by the mobile terminal.

[0110] S404: Bluetooth pairing is successful, and the mobile terminal establishes a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle.

[0111] S405: After the Bluetooth pairing is successful, the vehicle actively disconnects the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0112] S406: The client initiates a Bluetooth back connection to the vehicle to re-establish the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0113] The above-mentioned client can trigger a rescan of the Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle in response to the vehicle disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle; and, in response to the scanned Bluetooth signal emitted by the vehicle, initiate a Bluetooth backconnection to the vehicle to re-establish the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0114] S407: Sending an activation instruction for the sensorless entry function to the vehicle;

[0120] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5An interactive diagram of another method for managing a senseless vehicle entry provided by an exemplary embodiment of this specification, such as Figure 5 As shown, taking the mobile terminal equipped with the IOS system turning off the touchless entry function as an example, the method may include the following steps:

[0121] S501: Sending a shutdown instruction for the sensorless entry function to the vehicle.

[0122] The client can send a shutdown instruction for the contactless entry function to the vehicle through the Bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.

[0123] S502: In response to the shutdown instruction, the vehicle determines whether the Bluetooth pairing between the mobile terminal and the vehicle has been deleted.
