[0003] During the operation of shared electric vehicles, one of the major management problems is how to enable users to park and return the vehicles in a standardized manner. Generally speaking, in order to enable users to return the vehicles in a standardized manner, manufacturers set up return areas. The position of the electric vehicle is obtained through the positioning module on the shared electric vehicle. When the shared electric vehicle enters the return area, the user can be allowed to return the vehicle through the application on the mobile terminal.

[0063] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0064] The return control method for shared electric vehicles provided by the present application can be applied to, for example Figure 1In the application environment shown, the electric vehicle to be returned 102 communicates with the server 104 via a network. The server 104 can be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers. The electric vehicle to be returned 102 is provided with a communication module for connecting to a mobile communication network and a positioning module. The positioning module can be a GPS (Global Positioning System) module or a Beidou module. In addition, the server 104 is also communicatively connected to the user's mobile terminal 106. When the server cannot obtain the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned, it switches to the comprehensive addressing mode; in the comprehensive addressing mode, the position of the mobile terminal associated with the current electric vehicle to be returned is obtained as the reference position; at least one parking area adjacent to the reference position is obtained based on the reference position and determined as the candidate area; the communication type of the candidate area is obtained; when the communication type of the candidate area is the first communication type, the Bluetooth broadcast signal of the candidate area is obtained through the Bluetooth module of the electric vehicle to be returned, and the intensity of the Bluetooth broadcast signal is detected. When the intensity of the Bluetooth broadcast signal is greater than the preset intensity, a return permission message is sent to the mobile terminal; when the communication type of the candidate area is the second communication type, the networking signal sent by the networking module of at least one returned electric vehicle in the candidate area is obtained through the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned, and networking is performed between the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned and the networking module of the returned electric vehicle, and a return permission message is sent to the mobile terminal; when the communication type of the candidate area is the third communication type, the electronic tag in the candidate area is read through the RF module of the electric vehicle to be returned. When the RF module of the electric vehicle to be returned reads the electronic tag in the candidate area, a return permission message is sent to the mobile terminal.

[0065] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a method for controlling the return of a shared electric vehicle is provided. This method can be applied to a shared electric vehicle or a server. When this method is applied to a shared electric vehicle, it is implemented by a computer device provided on the shared electric vehicle. When this method is applied to a server, it is implemented by the server. The method includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 210, when the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned cannot be obtained, switch to the comprehensive addressing mode.

[0067] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle to be returned is a shared electric vehicle that a user is about to return. A positioning module is provided on the shared electric vehicle. If the positioning module fails or malfunctions and the real-time position of the current shared electric vehicle cannot be obtained, this will affect the return of the shared electric vehicle. It should be understood that generally, in the normal mode, the real-time position of the shared electric vehicle needs to be obtained when the shared electric vehicle is returned. When the shared electric vehicle is not in the pre-defined parking area, the return is prohibited, and only when the shared electric vehicle is in the parking area is the return allowed. In this embodiment, when the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned cannot be obtained, it may cause the user to be unable to return the electric vehicle. Therefore, the normal mode is switched to the comprehensive addressing mode, and another method is used to locate the shared electric vehicle and achieve vehicle return.

[0068] At this time, since it has not entered the vehicle return area, the vehicle return status of this electric vehicle to be returned is that vehicle return is prohibited.

[0069] Step 220, in the comprehensive addressing mode, obtain the position of the mobile terminal associated with the current electric vehicle to be returned as the reference position.

[0070] It should be understood that the association between this mobile terminal and the electric vehicle to be returned means that the mobile terminal has established a communication connection with the electric vehicle to be returned through the server. This association relationship is a rental at the application level, that is, the user rents the electric vehicle to be returned through the application on the mobile terminal, that is, the electric vehicle to be returned is associated with the user's mobile terminal. In this embodiment, the reference position is the real-time position of the mobile terminal. Since the user rents the electric vehicle to be returned at this time, the reference position of the mobile terminal can be regarded as the position of the electric vehicle to be returned. Since the positioning module of the electric vehicle to be returned itself cannot obtain positioning information, it is necessary to obtain the position by means of the mobile terminal held by the user to determine the position of the parking area near the current electric vehicle to be returned. The mobile terminal can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a portable handheld device, or a portable bracelet device.

[0071] Step 230, based on the reference position, obtain at least one parking area adjacent to the reference position and determine it as the area to be selected.

[0072] In this embodiment, the parking area is a pre-defined area for parking. The parking area adjacent to the reference position is the parking area that is close to the reference position and relatively close to the electric vehicle to be returned.

[0073] In one embodiment, at least one parking area adjacent to the reference position is obtained based on the reference position, determined as a candidate area, and the candidate area is sent to a mobile terminal associated with the electric vehicle to be returned currently. In this embodiment, the parking area adjacent to the current reference position is determined as the candidate area and sent to the user's mobile terminal for the user to select, enabling the user to select one of the candidate areas as the final parking area. The user can view each candidate area on the electronic map of the application program on the mobile terminal, and thus drive the electric vehicle to be returned close to one of the candidate areas.

[0074] Step 240, obtain the communication type of the candidate area.

[0075] When the communication type of the candidate area is the first communication type, obtain the Bluetooth broadcast signal of the candidate area through the Bluetooth module of the electric vehicle to be returned, detect the intensity of the Bluetooth broadcast signal, and when the intensity of the Bluetooth broadcast signal is greater than the preset intensity, send a car return permission message to the mobile terminal;

[0076] When the communication type of the candidate area is the second communication type, obtain the networking signal sent by the networking module of at least one returned electric vehicle in the candidate area through the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned, perform networking through the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned and the networking module of the returned electric vehicle, and send a car return permission message to the mobile terminal;

[0077] When the communication type of the candidate area is the third communication type, read the electronic tag in the candidate area through the RF module of the electric vehicle to be returned, and when the RF module of the electric vehicle to be returned reads the electronic tag in the candidate area, send a car return permission message to the mobile terminal.

[0078] In this embodiment, the car return permission message is used to prompt or inform the user that they can return the car, and change the car return status from prohibited to permitted.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the communication type of the candidate area is the first communication type, that is, a Bluetooth module is set in the candidate area, and the Bluetooth module in the candidate area is used to send out Bluetooth broadcast signals. When the user controls the electric vehicle to be returned to approach the candidate area of the first communication type, when the Bluetooth module on the electric vehicle to be returned detects the Bluetooth broadcast signal, it indicates that the electric vehicle to be returned has approached the candidate area of the first communication type. When the intensity of the Bluetooth broadcast signal detected by the Bluetooth module on the electric vehicle to be returned is greater than the preset intensity, it indicates that the electric vehicle to be returned has entered the candidate area of the first communication type. At this time, the return of the electric vehicle to be returned is allowed, and the electric vehicle to be returned can be returned, and the user can operate through the mobile terminal to return the electric vehicle to be returned. It should be understood that in the candidate area of the first communication type, the electric vehicle to be returned does not need to establish a network connection with the Bluetooth module in the candidate area, but only needs to detect the Bluetooth broadcast signal. In this way, the efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0080] When the communication type of the candidate area is the third communication type, an electronic tag is set in the candidate area. The electronic tag is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic tag, and the radio frequency module on the electric vehicle to be returned is an RFID reader. The electric vehicle to be returned can read the electronic tag in the candidate area corresponding to the third communication type through radio frequency identification. When the electronic tag is read, it indicates that the electric vehicle to be returned has entered the candidate area of the third communication type. At this time, the return of the electric vehicle to be returned is allowed, and the electric vehicle to be returned can be returned, and the user can operate through the mobile terminal to return the electric vehicle to be returned.

[0081] When the communication type of the candidate area is the second communication type, that is, no Bluetooth module is set in the candidate area, and no electronic tag that can be read by the radio frequency module is set either. The electric vehicle to be returned cannot determine that it has entered the candidate area through the Bluetooth broadcast or radio frequency electronic tag in this area. Therefore, in this embodiment, networking is performed through the networking signals of the electric vehicles that have been parked in the candidate area. The electric vehicles that have been parked in the candidate area are the already-returned electric vehicles. By networking with the already-returned electric vehicles, it can be determined that the electric vehicle to be returned has entered the candidate area of the second communication type. At this time, the return of the electric vehicle to be returned is allowed. It should be understood that if the electric vehicle to be returned cannot be networked with the already-returned electric vehicles, it indicates that the networking signal of the already-returned electric vehicles is weak at this time, and the distance between the electric vehicle to be returned and the candidate area of the second communication type is large. The user needs to drive the electric vehicle to be returned closer to the candidate area of the second communication type.

[0082] Networking through the networking signals of the already-returned electric vehicles can effectively make up for the problem that the vehicle cannot be returned due to the lack of Bluetooth broadcast or electronic tags in the parking area.

[0083] In the above embodiments, when the electric vehicle to be returned cannot obtain the positioning mode through the positioning module, the comprehensive addressing mode is adopted to address the parking area, so that the shared electric vehicle can determine that the current electric vehicle enters the parking area and meets the parking conditions in three ways: receiving Bluetooth broadcasts, networking with other shared electric vehicles in the parking area, and reading the electronic tags in the parking area, allowing the user to return the shared electric vehicle, thereby realizing the efficient return of the electric vehicle even when the positioning module fails.

[0084] In one of the embodiments, the networking module includes a Bluetooth module or a WIFI module; when the communication type of the selected area is the second communication type, the type of the networking signal of the returned electric vehicle in the selected area is detected; when the type of the networking signal of the returned electric vehicle is Bluetooth, Bluetooth networking is performed with the networking module of the returned electric vehicle through the Bluetooth module; when the type of the networking signal of the returned electric vehicle is WIFI, WIFI networking is performed with the networking module of the returned electric vehicle through the WIFI module.

[0085] In this embodiment, the shared electric vehicle is equipped with a Bluetooth module or a WIFI module, and the shared electric vehicles can be networked through Bluetooth signals or WIFI signals. When the returned electric vehicle is networked through Bluetooth in the selected area, the electric vehicle to be returned is networked with the Bluetooth module of the returned electric vehicle through the Bluetooth module; when the returned electric vehicle is networked through WIFI in the selected area, the electric vehicle to be returned is networked with the WIFI module of the returned electric vehicle through the WIFI module.

[0086] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes: when the communication type of the selected area is the second communication type, obtaining the networking access password issued by the server, and the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned networks with the networking module of the returned electric vehicle based on the networking access password.

[0087] In this embodiment, the networking access password is used to access the wireless network formed by the returned electric vehicles. It should be understood that the networking access passwords of the networks formed by the returned electric vehicles in different parking areas are different, so that illegal devices can be effectively prevented from accessing. In addition, the server updates the networking access passwords of each parking area at a preset time interval and issues them to the returned electric vehicles in each parking area, so that the networking access passwords of the returned electric vehicles in each parking area can be updated every once in a while, avoiding illegal devices from accessing due to the networking access password remaining unchanged for a long time.

[0088] In one embodiment, the method further includes: when the communication type of the to-be-returned area is the second communication type, detecting the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle; when the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is less than or equal to a preset speed, turning on the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle, and detecting whether at least one networking signal sent by the networking module of the returned electric vehicle can be obtained through the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle; when the networking signal sent by the networking module of the returned electric vehicle can be obtained through the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle, networking is performed between the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle and the networking module of the returned electric vehicle.

[0089] In this embodiment, in the daily state, the shared electric vehicle does not turn on the networking module, but only after the return mode of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is switched to the comprehensive addressing mode, and when the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is less than or equal to a certain speed will the to-be-returned electric vehicle be triggered to turn on the networking module. When the speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is small, it means that the user is driving the electric vehicle close to the to-be-returned area of the second communication type and is about to park. In this way, it can effectively avoid the power consumption caused by the shared electric vehicle turning on the networking module in the daily state when the shared electric vehicle only turns on the networking module when returning the vehicle in the comprehensive addressing mode and the speed is small.

[0090] In one embodiment, the preset speed is zero. When the user chooses to approach the to-be-returned area with the second communication type, when the user stops the to-be-returned electric vehicle at a position close to the to-be-returned area, at this time, it is detected that the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is equal to zero, so the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is triggered to turn on, and it is detected whether the Bluetooth signal or WIFI signal of the networking of the returned electric vehicle can be obtained. When the to-be-returned electric vehicle can detect the networking signal of the returned electric vehicle, it means that the to-be-returned electric vehicle has approached the to-be-returned area of the second communication type. Therefore, the to-be-returned electric vehicle is networked with the returned electric vehicle. When the networking is successful, it indicates that the to-be-returned electric vehicle has entered the to-be-returned area and can park to return the shared electric vehicle.

[0091] In one embodiment, the step of turning on the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle when the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is less than or equal to the preset speed includes: when the communication type of the to-be-returned area is the second communication type, detecting whether the distance between the reference position and the to-be-returned area is less than a first preset distance; when the distance between the reference position and the to-be-returned area is less than the first preset distance, detecting the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle; when the traveling speed of the to-be-returned electric vehicle is less than or equal to the preset speed, turning on the networking module of the to-be-returned electric vehicle.

[0092] In this embodiment, after the user selects a candidate area of the second communication type to return the vehicle, first, based on the reference position of the mobile terminal, it is detected whether the distance between the electric vehicle to be returned and the candidate area of the second communication type is less than a first preset distance. When the distance between the electric vehicle to be returned and the candidate area of the second communication type is less than the first preset distance, it indicates that the electric vehicle to be returned is relatively close to the candidate area. Therefore, at this time, the driving speed of the electric vehicle to be returned is detected. When the driving speed of the electric vehicle to be returned is less than or equal to the preset speed, it indicates that the user has stopped the electric vehicle to be returned at this time. Therefore, the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned is triggered to perform networking. It should be understood that once the networking module of the electric vehicle to be returned is started, even if the electric vehicle to be returned starts driving again, the networking module will not be turned off, and after the electric vehicle to be returned is returned, as a returned electric vehicle, the networking module remains turned on, maintaining networking with other returned electric vehicles until the returned electric vehicle is rented again, then the networking module is turned off. In this way, the returned electric vehicles in the candidate area of the second communication type can continuously provide networking signals, providing position navigation for other electric vehicles to be returned entering the candidate area subsequently.

[0093] In one of the embodiments, the step of obtaining at least one parking area adjacent to the reference position based on the reference position and determining it as the candidate area includes: obtaining the area positions of the parking areas; detecting the distances between the area positions and the reference position to obtain a plurality of parking distances; obtaining at least one of the parking areas where the parking distance is less than or equal to a second preset distance, and determining it as the candidate area.

[0094] In this embodiment, at least one parking area with a relatively small distance from the reference position and less than or equal to the second preset distance is selected from the parking areas as the candidate area. In this way, the user can be enabled to select the nearest or relatively close parking area to return the vehicle.

[0095] In one of the embodiments, before the step of switching to the comprehensive addressing mode when the positioning information of the electric vehicle cannot be obtained, it further includes: detecting whether the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned is obtained.

[0096] In this embodiment, before switching to the comprehensive addressing mode, it is necessary to detect whether the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned can be obtained and detect the working state of the positioning module, so as to switch the mode according to the detection result. It should be understood that before entering the vehicle return state, there is no need to detect the working state of the positioning module. Only when entering the vehicle return state, the working state of the positioning module is detected. In order to obtain the working state of the positioning module in a timely manner when returning the vehicle, in one embodiment, it is detected whether the vehicle return instruction of the user is obtained. When the vehicle return instruction is detected, it is detected whether the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned is obtained. In this way, the detection of the working state of the positioning module is triggered by the user issuing a vehicle return instruction. In this way, it can be known in a timely manner whether the user needs to return the vehicle and a response can be made in a timely manner. If the working state of the positioning module is normal, the ordinary vehicle return mode is entered at this time, and the positioning information of the electric vehicle to be returned is obtained according to the positioning module on the electric vehicle to be returned. The positioning module can be a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, a Beidou module, or a base station positioning module based on mobile communication signals.
