Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle exterior monitoring method, device, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, because vehicles may be subject to scratches and vandalism while parked, monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings is necessary. However, existing technologies typically monitor the vehicle's surroundings continuously, resulting in the majority of stored information consisting of videos unrelated to the incident. This increases storage pressure on the vehicle and makes it difficult to determine valid information, making it difficult to query the vehicle's surroundings. Therefore, effectively monitoring the vehicle's surroundings has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present application propose a vehicle exterior monitoring method, device, electronic device, and storage medium to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle is provided, the method comprising: obtaining current status information of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions based on the current status information; if the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions, performing vibration detection on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle; if the vibration parameter is greater than a first preset vibration parameter, determining a monitoring method for the vehicle based on the vibration parameter; and recording the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the monitoring method.

[0005] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a monitoring device for the outside of a vehicle is provided, the device comprising: an acquisition module for acquiring current status information of the vehicle; a monitoring condition determination module for determining whether the vehicle satisfies a monitoring condition based on the current status information; a vibration detection module for performing vibration detection on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle if the vehicle satisfies the monitoring condition; a monitoring mode determination module for determining a monitoring mode for the vehicle based on the vibration parameter if the vibration parameter is greater than a first preset vibration parameter; and a recording module for recording the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the monitoring mode.

[0006] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, comprising: a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-readable instructions, and when the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the vehicle exterior monitoring method as described above is implemented.

[0007] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which computer-readable instructions are stored. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by a processor, the vehicle exterior monitoring method described above is implemented.

[0008] In the solution of the present application, whether the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions is determined based on the vehicle's current state information. When the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions, the monitoring mode for the vehicle is determined by comparing the relationship between the vibration parameters obtained by vibration detection of the vehicle and the first preset vibration parameters. In this way, the vehicle's surrounding environment can be recorded according to the monitoring mode. This application can determine the vehicle's monitoring mode based on the vehicle's vibration parameters, avoiding the situation where the vehicle's surrounding environment cannot be effectively monitored according to the vehicle's situation.

[0023] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an application scenario diagram of a vehicle applicable to the present application according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario includes a vehicle 100 and an electronic device 200, wherein the vehicle 100 includes a monitoring function module 110, a vehicle controller 120, an alarm module 130 and a communication module 140. The vehicle 100 and the electronic device 200 are in communication connection.

[0024] Whether the vehicle 100 meets the monitoring conditions is determined based on the current status information of the vehicle 100. When the vehicle 100 meets the monitoring conditions, the monitoring function module 110 is awakened, and the vibration sensor in the monitoring function module is used to detect the vibration of the vehicle 100 to obtain a vibration parameter; then the vehicle controller 120 compares the vibration parameter with a first preset vibration parameter. When the vibration parameter is greater than the first preset vibration parameter, the vehicle controller 120 determines the monitoring method for the vehicle according to the vibration parameter, and records the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the vibration parameter.

[0025] In addition, when it is determined that the vehicle's monitoring mode is the second monitoring mode, the vehicle's alarm module 130 is awakened, and an audio alarm prompt and a light alarm prompt are output through the alarm module 130, and an alarm message is generated. The alarm message is sent to the electronic device 200 through the communication module 140, and the user can know that the vehicle has an abnormality through the electronic device 200.

[0026] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle can be applied to Figure 6 The monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle and the electronic device 700 equipped with the monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle are shown. Figure 7 ). The specific process of this embodiment will be described below. Of course, it is understandable that the method can be executed by electronic devices with computing and processing capabilities, such as desktop computers, laptops, vehicle-mounted terminals, vehicle-mounted large screens and other terminal devices. The method can also be interactively executed by a processing system including a server and a terminal, or by a domain controller related to monitoring in the vehicle. Figure 2 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle exterior monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0027] Step 210: Acquire the current status information of the vehicle.

[0028] As a method, the current status information of the vehicle may include the current speed of the vehicle, the vehicle power status, the on / off status of the vehicle's anti-theft system, the state of charge (SOC) of the vehicle's battery, etc. Among them, the vehicle power status can be the vehicle power including standby state, shutdown state, and startup state. Optionally, when the vehicle power status is in standby state, the vehicle's power battery or engine is turned off, and the vehicle's battery will power some necessary components or systems of the vehicle (such as a driving recorder, a remote communication system, etc.) to ensure that the vehicle can also perform corresponding operations in standby mode; if the vehicle power status is in shutdown state, the vehicle's power battery or engine and the vehicle's battery are all in a non-operating state, and the vehicle cannot perform any operation at this time; if the vehicle power status is in startup state, the vehicle's power battery or engine and the vehicle's battery are all in an operating state. Among them, the state of charge of the vehicle's battery refers to the available state of the remaining charge in the battery, and can also be the percentage of the remaining power of the vehicle's battery.

[0029] Step 220: Determine whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions based on the current status information.

[0030] As a way to avoid wasting storage resources and resources by the vehicle constantly monitoring its exterior, monitoring conditions are set so that the vehicle monitors its exterior environment when the monitoring conditions are met. Optionally, the monitoring conditions may include one or a combination of the following: the vehicle being locked, the vehicle being in standby mode, the vehicle being stationary, or the vehicle having a remaining battery charge greater than a battery threshold.

[0031] Optionally, when the vehicle is locked and there is no one in the vehicle, the vehicle's external environment needs to be monitored; when the vehicle is in standby mode, the user can remotely control the vehicle. At this time, in order to avoid collisions or scratches with other vehicles or obstacles, the vehicle's external environment also needs to be monitored; when the vehicle is stationary (for example, when the vehicle is parked in a parking lot), it is necessary to monitor other vehicles colliding with the vehicle or intentional damage to the vehicle; in order to avoid the problem of the vehicle being unable to start due to the remaining battery power of the vehicle being too low, the vehicle's external environment will only be monitored when the remaining battery power of the vehicle is greater than the power threshold. Optionally, the battery can be the vehicle's power battery or the power of the vehicle's storage battery.

[0032] Step 230: If the vehicle meets the monitoring condition, vibration detection is performed on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle.

[0033] As one approach, when a vehicle meets monitoring conditions, a monitoring request may be generated and sent to the vehicle's monitoring function module. The monitoring function module activates the vehicle's vibration sensor based on the monitoring request, and the vibration sensor performs vibration detection based on the monitoring request to obtain the vehicle's vibration parameters. The vibration sensor is a sensor that detects externally applied acceleration (impact, vibration). Optionally, the vibration parameter may be the acceleration value of the vibration sensor or an electrical signal parameter corresponding to the externally applied acceleration detected by the vibration sensor.

[0034] Alternatively, the pressure sensor on the vehicle body may be used to detect the pressure and obtain the pressure parameters detected by the pressure sensor. For example, in order to detect whether there is any intentional damage to the vehicle, the pressure applied to the vehicle by the pressure sensor on the vehicle body may be detected.

[0035] In some embodiments, step 230 includes: if the vehicle meets the monitoring condition, powering on the vehicle; if the vehicle is powered on successfully, performing vibration detection on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle.

[0036] As a method, when the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions, a monitoring request is generated, and the vehicle control unit (VCU) of the vehicle is awakened according to the monitoring request. The vehicle control unit powers on the monitoring function module of the vehicle according to the monitoring request, so as to ensure that the components required to perform the monitoring function of the monitoring function module can perform the whole vehicle work. When the monitoring function module is successfully powered on, the vehicle control unit generates feedback information of successful power-on and sends the feedback information to the vibration detection module of the vehicle. The vibration detection module of the vehicle performs vibration detection on the vehicle according to the feedback information of successful power-on.

[0037] Optionally, when the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions, the vehicle's monitoring sensors (such as panoramic cameras, surround-view cameras, etc.) can be awakened to monitor the vehicle's surrounding environment through the monitoring sensors.

[0038] Optionally, if the vehicle controller fails to power on the vehicle's monitoring function module in accordance with the monitoring request, the vehicle controller will generate feedback information indicating the power-on failure, and the vehicle will exit monitoring based on the feedback information. The feedback information will also be sent to an electronic device connected to the vehicle (such as a smartphone, smartwatch, tablet computer, desktop computer, or other device with a display function). The electronic device can use the feedback information to prompt the user that the vehicle's external environment is currently unable to be monitored. Optionally, the feedback information may include the reason for the power-on failure, so that the user can view the reason for the power-on failure and take timely action on the vehicle.

[0039] Optionally, the vehicle controller may also determine whether it is necessary to control the vehicle's monitoring module to power off based on the vehicle's current status information. For example, if the vehicle's driver is not in the driving seat or the vehicle is currently driving (the vehicle is not stationary), there is no need to monitor the vehicle's external environment. Therefore, there is no need to continuously power the vehicle's monitoring function module. A power-off request is generated, and the vehicle controller powers off the monitoring function module based on the power-off request. The monitoring function module then exits monitoring based on the power-off operation.

[0040] Step 240: If the vibration parameter is greater than a first preset vibration parameter, a monitoring method for the vehicle is determined according to the vibration parameter.

[0041] As one approach, the first preset vibration parameter can be a vibration parameter threshold corresponding to damage to the vehicle caused by external objects or human forces. For example, if the sensor used for vibration detection is a vehicle body pressure sensor, its first preset vibration parameter can be the minimum vibration parameter corresponding to a scratch on the vehicle body. When the vibration parameter detected by the vehicle is greater than the first preset vibration parameter, the vehicle is required to record the external environment.

[0042] As one approach, different monitoring modes can be set based on the vibration parameters obtained through vehicle vibration testing. Optionally, because different vibration parameters correspond to different levels of vehicle damage, different monitoring modes can be set for different degrees of vehicle damage. Furthermore, vibration parameters corresponding to different monitoring modes can be pre-set. This allows the monitoring mode for monitoring the vehicle's external environment to be determined based on the vibration parameters obtained through vehicle vibration testing.

[0043] As another method, a mapping relationship between each preset vibration parameter interval and the monitoring method can be set. After the vehicle is vibration detected to obtain the vibration parameter, the monitoring method corresponding to the vibration parameter is determined according to the preset vibration parameter interval corresponding to the vibration parameter and based on the mapping relationship between each preset vibration parameter interval and the monitoring method.

[0044] As another method, the monitoring method can activate the corresponding camera position based on the location of the vehicle vibration to record the vehicle's surrounding environment. For example, if the vehicle vibration occurs at the front of the vehicle, the vehicle's driving recorder can be activated to record the environment in front of the vehicle. This can avoid wasting vehicle resources and effectively monitor the vehicle's surrounding environment.

[0045] As another example, when the vehicle's vibration parameter is not greater than a preset vibration parameter, the monitoring mode may be determined to activate cameras in preset locations. For example, when the vehicle's vibration parameter is less than the preset vibration parameter, it may be determined that the left and right sides of the vehicle may be in contact with obstacles. In this case, the left and right cameras may be activated to facilitate recording of the environment on both sides of the vehicle. The information recorded by the left and right cameras may also be retained for a set period of time.

[0046] Alternatively, when the vehicle's vibration parameters exceed a preset value, indicating that the vehicle may have sustained serious damage and requiring full-view environmental information to be recorded, the vehicle's full-view camera, or all cameras, can be activated to record the vehicle's environment. This ensures that comprehensive and effective information is recorded in the event of serious vehicle damage. Optionally, the recorded information can be configured to prevent overwriting or deletion.

[0047] Step 250: Record the surrounding environment of the vehicle according to the monitoring method.

[0048] Monitoring methods, as a method, refer to different monitoring methods used to monitor the vehicle's external environment. Different monitoring methods can be implemented using different monitoring sensors. For example, if the vibration parameters obtained from vehicle vibration testing determine that the damage to the vehicle is a collision between the vehicle in front and the vehicle in front, the vehicle's driving recorder can record the entire process before and after the collision between the vehicle in front and the vehicle in front.

[0049] As one approach, once the vehicle's monitoring mode is determined, the vehicle components required for that monitoring mode can be activated accordingly to record the vehicle's surroundings. For example, if the current vehicle monitoring mode requires the use of a surround-view camera system or a domain controller capable of monitoring the vehicle's surroundings, these components can be activated to record the vehicle's surroundings according to that monitoring mode.

[0050] As a method, real-time information about the vehicle's surroundings can be continuously acquired. Once the vehicle's monitoring method is determined, the vehicle's surroundings are recorded based on the monitoring method and the real-time information about the vehicle's surroundings. The real-time information can be real-time image information or real-time audio information about the vehicle's surroundings, and can be set based on actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0051] As a method, after recording the surrounding environment of the vehicle in a monitoring manner, the recorded video can be stored in a rolling erasable storage space of the vehicle.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions is determined based on the vehicle's current state information. When the vehicle meets the monitoring conditions, the monitoring mode for monitoring the vehicle is determined based on the relationship between vibration parameters obtained by vibration detection of the vehicle and first preset vibration parameters. In this way, the vehicle's surrounding environment can be recorded according to the monitoring mode. Through this application, the vehicle's monitoring mode can be determined based on the vehicle's vibration parameters, avoiding the situation where the vehicle's surrounding environment cannot be effectively monitored based on the vehicle's situation.

[0053] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 The present invention provides a method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle can be applied to Figure 6 The monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle and the electronic device 700 equipped with the monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle are shown. Figure 7 The specific process of this embodiment will be described below. Of course, it is understandable that the method can be executed by electronic devices with computing and processing capabilities, such as desktop computers, laptops, vehicle-mounted terminals, vehicle-mounted large screens and other terminal devices. The method can also be interactively executed by a processing system including a server and a terminal. Figure 3 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle exterior monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0054] Step 310: Obtain the current status information of the vehicle.

[0055] Step 320: Determine whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions based on the current status information.

[0056] Step 330: If the vehicle meets the monitoring condition, vibration detection is performed on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle.

[0057] For the detailed description of steps 310 to 330 , please refer to steps 210 to 230 , which will not be repeated here.

[0058] Step 340: If the vibration parameter is greater than the first preset vibration parameter and not greater than the second preset vibration parameter, then determine that the monitoring mode for the vehicle is the first monitoring mode, wherein the monitoring information recorded by the first monitoring mode is allowed to be overwritten.

[0059] As one approach, a second preset vibration parameter can be set to differentiate the monitoring modes corresponding to different degrees of vehicle damage. The second preset vibration parameter can be the minimum vibration parameter corresponding to severe vehicle damage. If the vibration parameter obtained during the vehicle vibration test is no greater than the second preset parameter and greater than the first preset vibration parameter, it can be determined that the vehicle has suffered minor damage (e.g., a scratch or rub). In this case, the vehicle's monitoring mode can be determined to be the first monitoring mode.

[0060] Optionally, the first monitoring mode may be to determine a timestamp of when the vehicle vibration occurs when the vibration parameter is determined to be greater than a first preset vibration parameter and not greater than a second preset vibration parameter, add the timestamp when monitoring the vehicle's surrounding environment, and store the monitoring information recorded by the first monitoring mode in a scroll-erased storage space of the vehicle. The monitoring information in the scroll-erased storage space may be overwritten.

[0061] Optionally, a collection can be pre-set to store monitoring information recorded using the first monitoring method, allowing users to directly view all monitoring information recorded using the first monitoring method. Optionally, a storage period for each piece of monitoring information in the collection can be set. For example, the collection can be set to store data for 30 days. After 30 days, the corresponding monitoring information can be overwritten.

[0062] Step 350: If the vibration parameter is greater than the second preset vibration parameter, determine that the monitoring mode for the vehicle is the second monitoring mode, wherein the monitoring information recorded by the second monitoring mode is not allowed to be overwritten.

[0063] As one approach, when a vibration parameter exceeds a second preset vibration parameter, it can be determined that the vehicle has suffered serious damage. At this point, identification information can be generated. This identification information is used to indicate that an abnormal event has occurred in the vehicle and to determine a timestamp of the abnormal event. Based on this timestamp, the surrounding environment when the vehicle's vibration parameter exceeded the second preset vibration parameter is recorded to obtain monitoring information recorded via the second monitoring method. Optionally, this identification information can also be used to mark monitoring information recorded via the second monitoring method to prevent the monitoring information recorded via the second monitoring method from being overwritten.

[0064] Optionally, a preset time period may be set, and the surrounding environment of the vehicle within the preset time period before the vibration parameter of the vehicle is greater than the second preset vibration parameter may also be recorded and stored together with the monitoring information recorded by the second monitoring method.

[0065] Alternatively, a fixed collection can be pre-set to store monitoring information recorded using the second monitoring method. This allows users to directly view all monitoring information recorded using the second monitoring method. Furthermore, the monitoring information in this fixed collection cannot be overwritten. Alternatively, all monitoring information in this fixed collection can be uploaded to a cloud server via the vehicle's communication module (e.g., a T-Box) to prevent loss of monitoring information in this collection.

[0066] Optionally, the monitoring information recorded by the second monitoring method can also be sent by the vehicle's communication module to an electronic device that is communicatively connected to the vehicle, and the electronic device can directly view the monitoring information.

[0067] In some embodiments, after step 350, the method further includes: outputting an audio alarm prompt; outputting a light alarm prompt; and / or generating an alarm message and sending the alarm message to a communication-connected electronic device.

[0068] As a method, when it is determined that the monitoring method for the vehicle is the second monitoring method, it can be determined that the vehicle has been seriously damaged (for example, a collision, being violently hit, etc.). In order to prevent others from continuing to damage the vehicle, the vehicle can issue an alarm prompt. Optionally, when it is determined that the monitoring method for the vehicle is the second monitoring method or the vibration parameter of the vehicle is greater than the second preset vibration parameter, an alarm prompt message can be generated, and the vehicle controller of the vehicle wakes up the alarm module of the vehicle according to the alarm prompt message. The alarm module of the vehicle outputs an audio alarm prompt through the audio sensor of the vehicle (such as a speaker) according to the alarm prompt message to perform a voice alarm prompt, and can control the light to output a light alarm prompt through the light controller of the vehicle. Optionally, the frequency of the audio alarm prompt output for the second monitoring mode, the loudness of the audio, and the duration of the audio alarm prompt can be pre-set, as well as the frequency of the light alarm prompt output, the brightness of the light, and the duration of the light alarm prompt can be pre-set. Optionally, the turn signals on both sides of the vehicle can output light alarm prompts.

[0069] As a method, when it is determined that the vehicle's monitoring mode is the second monitoring mode or the vehicle's vibration parameter is greater than the second preset vibration parameter, an alarm message can be generated accordingly. The alarm message is sent to an electronic device (a smart phone, smart watch, tablet computer, or other electronic device with a display function) connected to the vehicle through the vehicle's communication module, and the electronic device prompts based on the alarm message. Optionally, the electronic device can prompt based on the alarm message by generating a corresponding text message based on the alarm message, or by prompting with a pop-up window, or by broadcasting the alarm message by voice.

[0070] Step 360: Record the surrounding environment of the vehicle according to the monitoring method.

[0071] For the detailed description of step 360 , please refer to step 250 , which will not be repeated here.

[0072] In this embodiment, the recorded monitoring information corresponding to different monitoring modes has different storage modes, so that the user can quickly lock the valid information when viewing the monitoring information, thereby improving the effectiveness of the monitoring information.

[0073] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 The present invention provides a method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle can be applied to Figure 6 The monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle and the electronic device 700 equipped with the monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle are shown. Figure 7 The specific process of this embodiment will be described below. Of course, it is understandable that the method can be executed by electronic devices with computing and processing capabilities, such as desktop computers, laptops, vehicle-mounted terminals, vehicle-mounted large screens and other terminal devices. The method can also be interactively executed by a processing system including a server and a terminal. Figure 4 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle exterior monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0074] Step 410: Obtain the current status information of the vehicle.

[0075] Step 420: Determine whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions based on the current status information.

[0076] Step 430: If the vehicle meets the monitoring condition, vibration detection is performed on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle.

[0077] Step 440: If the vibration parameter is greater than a first preset vibration parameter, determine a monitoring method for the vehicle according to the vibration parameter.

[0078] For the detailed description of steps 410 to 440 , please refer to steps 210 to 240 , which will not be repeated here.

[0079] Step 450: If the vibration parameter is not greater than the first preset vibration parameter, repeat step 430.

[0080] As a method, when the vibration parameter obtained during vehicle vibration detection is no greater than a first preset vibration parameter, it can be determined that no abnormal event (such as a scratch or collision) has occurred with the vehicle, and there is no need to monitor and record the vehicle's surrounding environment. For example, if the vehicle's surrounding environment is monitored and recorded while people are walking around, it will waste the vehicle's computing resources and also cause power consumption in the vehicle's battery or power battery.

[0081] Step 460: Record the surrounding environment of the vehicle according to the monitoring method.

[0082] For the detailed description of step 460 , please refer to step 250 , which will not be repeated here.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Compared with the embodiment shown, when the vibration parameter of the vehicle is not greater than the first preset vibration parameter time, the surrounding environment of the vehicle is not recorded, thereby reducing the storage pressure of the vehicle, reducing redundant monitoring information, and making it easier for users to quickly lock valid information when viewing the monitoring information.

[0084] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 The present invention provides a method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the method for monitoring the exterior of a vehicle can be applied to Figure 6 The monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle and the electronic device 700 equipped with the monitoring device 600 outside the vehicle are shown. Figure 7 The specific process of this embodiment will be described below. Of course, it is understandable that the method can be executed by electronic devices with computing and processing capabilities, such as desktop computers, laptops, vehicle-mounted terminals, vehicle-mounted large screens and other terminal devices. The method can also be interactively executed by a processing system including a server and a terminal. Figure 5 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle exterior monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0085] Step 510: In response to the monitoring function activation instruction, activate the monitoring function of the vehicle.

[0086] As a way to avoid the loss of vehicle power caused by continuous monitoring of the vehicle, which in turn leads to the inability to realize important functions of the vehicle, and in severe cases, the vehicle cannot be started, it can be set to monitor the surrounding environment of the vehicle only when the user chooses to turn on the monitoring function.

[0087] Optionally, the user can select to turn on the monitoring function on the vehicle's large screen to generate a monitoring function start instruction. The vehicle turns on the monitoring function according to the monitoring function start instruction, thereby waking up the monitoring function module, and then being able to monitor the surrounding environment of the vehicle after turning on the monitoring function.

[0088] Optionally, the user can also trigger an operation to activate the monitoring function in an electronic device that is communicatively connected to the vehicle. For example, the user can select to activate the monitoring function in a client associated with the vehicle monitoring function in the electronic device, then generate a monitoring function activation instruction and send the monitoring function activation instruction to the vehicle. The vehicle activates the monitoring function according to the monitoring function activation instruction, thereby waking up the monitoring function module, and then being able to monitor the vehicle's surrounding environment after the monitoring function is activated.

[0089] Alternatively, users can choose to turn off the monitoring function, which allows them to exit vehicle monitoring and avoid wasting resources by continuously monitoring when it is not needed. Alternatively, users can choose to turn off the monitoring function on the vehicle's large screen or on an electronic device connected to the vehicle.

[0090] Step 520: When the monitoring function of the vehicle is turned on, obtain the current status information of the vehicle.

[0091] As a way, when the monitoring function of the vehicle is turned on, all nodes related to the monitoring function are awakened. At this time, the nodes related to the monitoring function work normally to monitor the surrounding environment of the vehicle.

[0092] Step 530: Determine whether the vehicle meets monitoring conditions based on the current status information.

[0093] Step 540: If the vehicle meets the monitoring condition, vibration detection is performed on the vehicle to obtain vibration parameters of the vehicle.

[0094] Step 550: If the vibration parameter is greater than a first preset vibration parameter, determine a monitoring method for the vehicle according to the vibration parameter.

[0095] Step 560: Record the surrounding environment of the vehicle according to the monitoring method.
