Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of safety protection technology, and in particular to a helmet, a vehicle, a vehicle control method and device. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, wearing a helmet is an effective way to ensure safety in scenarios such as cycling and construction. Taking the scenario of riding shared electric bikes as an example, in order to regulate the riding of shared electric bikes, a special campaign has been launched to rectify traffic violations by shared electric bike riders, addressing the traffic violations of riders not wearing safety helmets in key urban areas. Users are usually required to wear helmets while riding.

[0003] However, during the use of shared electric bicycles, there are frequent instances where users are not wearing helmets or are not wearing them properly (e.g., the buckle is not fastened). Existing helmet technology generally falls into two categories: the most conventional type, which cannot detect whether the user is wearing the helmet correctly; and another type, which uses pressure sensors in the helmet liner to detect head pressure and determine whether the user is wearing the helmet correctly. However, this method still cannot solve the problem of improper wearing (e.g., the buckle is not fastened), thus leading to higher safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a helmet, a vehicle, a vehicle control method, and a device to facilitate the detection of helmet wearing compliance and ensure user safety.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a helmet, comprising:

[0007] The fastening structure includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part that can be detachably connected;

[0008] An RFID component, comprising an RFID chip and an RFID antenna, wherein the RFID chip is disposed in a first connecting part and the RFID antenna is disposed in a second connecting part;

[0009] When the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected, the RFID chip is electrically connected to the RFID antenna so that the RFID component can communicate with an external reader; when the first connecting part and the second connecting part are separated, the RFID chip is disconnected from the RFID antenna.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, including:

[0011] The helmet mentioned above;

[0012] The vehicle body includes a reader and a power system, wherein, when the first and second connecting parts of the helmet are connected, the reader can communicate with the RFID component of the helmet, and the power system is powered when the reader communicates with the RFID component of the helmet.

[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle control method applied to the aforementioned vehicle, the method comprising:

[0014] Upon receiving a vehicle request, an radio frequency signal is sent.

[0015] Upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, a control command is generated; the response signal is generated by the helmet's RFID component in response to a radio frequency signal, and the control command is used to control the supply of power to the vehicle's power system.

[0016] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle control device, including:

[0017] The first transmitting module is used to transmit radio frequency signals upon receiving a vehicle use request;

[0018] The first control module is used to generate control commands upon receiving a response signal from the helmet; wherein the response signal is generated by the helmet's RFID component in response to a radio frequency signal, and the control commands are used to control the supply of power to the vehicle's power system.

[0019] Fifthly, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the above-described method.

[0020] Sixthly, embodiments of this application also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.

[0021] The helmet provided in this application embodiment includes a fastening structure and an RFID component. The fastening structure includes a detachably connected first connecting part and a second connecting part. The RFID component includes an RFID chip and an RFID antenna. The RFID chip is disposed in the first connecting part, and the RFID antenna is disposed in the second connecting part. When the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected, the RFID chip and the RFID antenna are electrically connected, enabling the RFID component to communicate with an external reader. When the first connecting part and the second connecting part are separated, the RFID chip and the RFID antenna are disconnected from the electrical connection. Thus, this application embodiment helps to determine whether a user is wearing the helmet correctly based on the communicability status of the helmet's RFID component, and helps to take appropriate measures to ensure user safety. In addition, the RFID component on the helmet in this application embodiment is a passive communication structure, so there is no need to set a power supply and related charging structure on the helmet, which helps to reduce the structural complexity of the helmet.

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms "an" or "a," and similar terms, do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the helmet 100 provided in this embodiment includes:

[0029] The fastening structure 110 includes a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 112 that are detachably connected;

[0030] The radio frequency identification (RFID) component 120 includes an RFID chip 121 and an RFID antenna 122. The RFID chip 121 is disposed in the first connection part 111, and the RFID antenna 122 is disposed in the second connection part 112.

[0031] When the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are connected, the RFID chip 121 is electrically connected to the RFID antenna 122 so that the RFID component 120 can communicate with the external reader 210; when the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are separated, the RFID chip 121 is disconnected from the RFID antenna 122.

[0032] The helmet 100 provided in this application embodiment can be a helmet 100 configured for shared electric vehicles, or a personal riding helmet 100, or a helmet 100 configured in scenarios such as construction sites or manufacturing workshops, etc., without specific limitations here.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fastening structure 110 can be a male-female buckle or a plug-in snap fastener, etc., and is not specifically limited here. The fastening structure 110 may include a detachably connected first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 112. For example, a plug-in snap fastener may be a snap fastener including a male and a female buckle, the first connecting part 111 may be one of the male and female buckles, and the second connecting part 112 may be the other. The detachable connection between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 can be achieved by plugging and unplugging the male and female buckles.

[0034] The RFID component 120 may include an RFID chip 121 and an RFID antenna 122. The RFID antenna 122 is typically used to receive or transmit signals, while the RFID chip 121 is used for signal decoding and encoding, and can also be used to store information such as identification. Generally, the RFID chip 121 and RFID antenna 122 in the RFID component 120 are interconnected to enable communication with external devices, such as a reader 210 (or interrogator).

[0035] In this embodiment, the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 can be respectively disposed in the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112. As an example, the RFID chip 121 can be embedded in the first connecting portion 111 and electrically connected to a contact or electrical connector disposed on the first connecting portion 111; similarly, the RFID antenna 122 can be embedded in the second connecting portion 112 and electrically connected to a contact or electrical connector disposed on the second connecting portion 112. When the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112 are connected, the contacts make contact with each other, or the electrical connectors engage, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122.

[0036] Correspondingly, when the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are separated from each other, the contacts are separated from each other, or the electrical connectors are separated from each other, thereby causing the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 to disconnect from each other. The electrical signal coupled by the RFID antenna 122 cannot be transmitted to the RFID chip 121, and the RFID chip 121 cannot directly transmit or receive signals, resulting in the RFID component 120 being unable to communicate with external devices.

[0037] Specifically, in the application scenario of helmet 100, when the user wears helmet 100 properly, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 of the fastening structure 110 are connected, and the RFID component 120 can communicate with external devices; however, when the user does not wear helmet 100 or does not wear it properly, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 of the fastening structure 110 are usually separated, and at this time, the RFID component 120 cannot communicate with external devices.

[0038] Therefore, in practical applications, by combining the communication status between external devices and RFID component 120 (including the status of communication via RFID component 120 and the status of communication via RFID component 120), it can be determined whether the user has worn helmet 100 correctly.

[0039] For example, in shared electric vehicle applications, the external device can refer to the reader 210 installed on the vehicle body 200; in construction scenarios, the external device can be the reader 210 on the access control system of the construction site, etc. When a user requests to use a vehicle or enter the construction site, the communicability status between the reader 210 and the helmet 100 can be used to determine whether the user is wearing the helmet 100 correctly. If it is determined that the user is not wearing the helmet 100 correctly, further measures such as prompts, warnings, or prohibitions can be taken to ensure the user's safety.

[0040] The helmet 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a fastening structure 110 and an RFID component 120. The fastening structure 110 includes a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 112 that are detachably connected. The RFID component 120 includes an RFID chip 121 and an RFID antenna 122. The RFID chip 121 is disposed in the first connecting part 111, and the RFID antenna 122 is disposed in the second connecting part 112. When the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are connected, the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 are electrically connected, enabling the RFID component 120 to communicate with an external reader 210. When the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are separated, the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 are disconnected from the electrical connection. Thus, this application embodiment helps to determine whether the user has worn the helmet 100 correctly based on the communicability status of the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100, and helps to take corresponding measures to ensure the user's safety. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the RFID component 120 on the helmet 100 is a passive communication structure, so there is no need to set a power supply and related charging structure on the helmet 100, which helps to reduce the structural complexity of the helmet 100.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this application also provides a vehicle, including:

[0042] The aforementioned helmet 100;

[0043] The vehicle body 200 includes a reader 210 and a power system 220. When the first connection part 111 and the second connection part 112 of the helmet 100 are connected, the reader 210 can communicate with the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100, and the power system 220 is powered when the reader 210 communicates with the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100.

[0044] The vehicles provided in this application embodiment can be shared electric vehicles, personal electric vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, or racing cars, etc., and users typically require wearing helmets when using these vehicles. For simplicity, the following will mainly use the example of a shared electric vehicle to describe the embodiments of this application.

[0045] The shared electric vehicle includes a vehicle body 200. Under normal circumstances, the helmet 100 can be stored in the front basket of the vehicle body 200 or other storage parts of the vehicle body 200. Before riding, the user can take the helmet 100 out of the vehicle body 200 and put it on.

[0046] The vehicle body 200 includes a reader 210. In some examples, the reader 210 may be located in the handlebars or frame of the vehicle body 200; no specific limitation is made here. Generally, shared electric vehicles are equipped with a battery for driving the power system 220. The reader 210 may be powered by the battery of the power system 220, or it may be powered by an independent power source.

[0047] In some application scenarios, when a user needs to use a shared electric vehicle, they will send a request to the server via their mobile terminal. The server will process the request, such as verifying the user's identity, and then send the processed request to the vehicle.

[0048] Normally, the vehicle can respond to the vehicle use request sent by the server and supply power to the power system 220. However, in this embodiment, through the structural design of the reader 210 and the helmet 100, after receiving the vehicle use request sent by the server, the vehicle further verifies whether the user has worn the helmet 100 properly.

[0049] Specifically, the reader 210 can transmit radio frequency signals. When the user wears the helmet 100 properly, the first connection part 111 and the second connection part 112 are connected, the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 are electrically connected, and the RFID component 120 in the helmet 100 can respond to the radio frequency signals, thereby enabling the reader 210 to receive the response signal of the RFID component 120. Conversely, when the user does not wear the helmet 100 properly, the RFID chip 121 and the RFID antenna 122 are disconnected, the RFID component 120 in the helmet 100 will not respond to the radio frequency signals, and the reader 210 cannot receive the response signal of the RFID component 120.

[0050] As can be seen, after receiving a vehicle use request, the vehicle can verify whether the user has worn the helmet 100 correctly based on whether the reader 210 has received a response signal from the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100.

[0051] For example, after receiving a usage request, if the reader 210 does not receive a response signal from the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100, it can initially withhold power to the power system 220 and issue an audible alert to remind the user to wear the helmet 100 correctly. Once the user wears the helmet 100 correctly, and the reader 210 receives a response signal from the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100, power will be supplied to the power system 220, at which point the user can ride the vehicle normally.

[0052] The vehicle provided in this embodiment includes a helmet 100 and a vehicle body 200. The vehicle body 200 includes a reader 210 and a power system 220. When the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112 of the helmet 100 are connected, the reader 210 can communicate with the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100, and the power system 220 is powered when the reader 210 communicates with the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100. In this embodiment, the vehicle can determine whether the user is wearing the helmet 100 correctly based on the communication result between the reader 210 and the helmet 100, and can supply power to the power system 220 when the user is wearing the helmet 100 correctly, effectively ensuring the user's safety.

[0053] Optionally, the vehicle body includes:

[0054] A helmet housing for housing the helmet;

[0055] A helmet detection sensor is disposed in the helmet housing and is used to detect whether the helmet is located in the helmet housing.

[0056] The power system is specifically powered when the reader communicates with the RFID component of the helmet and when the helmet detection sensor detects that the helmet is not located in the helmet housing.

[0057] In this embodiment, the helmet detection sensor (not shown in the figure) can be a pressure sensor or a photoelectric sensor, etc., which can be used to detect whether the helmet 100 is located in the helmet housing. The helmet housing (not shown in the figure) can be the front basket or rear seat of the vehicle, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0058] For example, the helmet detection sensor can be a pressure sensor, located in the helmet housing of the vehicle body 200, such as in the front basket. When the helmet 100 is in the helmet housing, a force is applied to the pressure sensor, causing it to generate a corresponding signal. When the helmet detection sensor is picked up by the user, the force applied to the pressure sensor disappears, causing a change in the signal in the pressure sensor. Based on the signal detected by the pressure sensor, it can be confirmed whether the helmet 100 is located in the helmet housing.

[0059] As for the working principles of helmet detection sensors and other types of sensors, they will not be listed here.

[0060] In practical applications, users typically remove the helmet 100 from the helmet housing of the vehicle body 200 before putting it on. Therefore, when the helmet detection sensor detects that the helmet 100 is in the helmet housing, it usually indicates that the user has not removed the helmet 100 and is not wearing it properly. Therefore, in this embodiment, the power system 220 is powered when the reader 210 communicates with the RFID component 120 of the helmet 100 and the helmet detection sensor detects that the helmet 100 is not in the helmet housing. This avoids powering the power system 220 when the helmet 100 is fastened by the fastening structure 110 and placed in the helmet housing, thus helping to regulate user helmet-wearing behavior and improve user vehicle safety.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a vehicle control method is also provided, applied to the aforementioned vehicle, the method comprising:

[0062] Step 301: Upon receiving a vehicle request, send an radio frequency signal;

[0063] Step 302: Upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, a control command is generated; wherein the response signal is generated by the helmet's RFID component in response to a radio frequency signal, and the control command is used to control the supply of power to the vehicle's power system.

[0064] The following examples mainly use shared electric vehicles as a case study to illustrate the vehicle control method provided in this application.

[0065] In step 301, the vehicle sends an radio frequency signal upon receiving a vehicle use request.

[0066] For example, a QR code can be affixed to a vehicle, which users can scan with their mobile devices to send a ride request to the server. The server can process the ride request, such as verifying the user's identity, and then send the processed ride request to the vehicle so that the vehicle can receive the ride request.

[0067] In other examples, the server may also send the processed car rental request to the user's mobile terminal, which then forwards the request to the vehicle via Bluetooth communication modules, so that the vehicle can receive the request.

[0068] Of course, in some feasible implementations, users can also send vehicle requests directly to the vehicle via their mobile terminals.

[0069] When a vehicle receives a request for use, it can send radio frequency signals via a reader. As shown above, the helmet is equipped with an RFID component. When the RFID chip and RFID antenna are electrically connected, the helmet can receive radio frequency signals and respond to them by sending a response signal to the reader. However, when the RFID chip and RFID antenna are disconnected, the RFID component will not function properly and will also be unable to respond to radio frequency signals.

[0070] In step 302, upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, the vehicle can generate a control command for controlling the power supply to the vehicle's power system.

[0071] When the vehicle receives a response signal from the helmet, it indicates that the RFID chip and RFID antenna are electrically connected, the RFID component can respond to the radio frequency signal, and the fastening structure in the helmet is fastened, indicating that the user is wearing the helmet correctly. At this time, the vehicle can generate control commands to supply power to the power system, and the user can ride the vehicle normally.

[0072] The vehicle control method provided in this application, upon receiving a vehicle use request, sends a radio frequency signal; upon receiving a response signal from a helmet, it generates a control command for controlling the supply of power to the vehicle's power system; wherein the response signal is generated by the helmet's RFID component in response to the radio frequency signal. This application embodiment enables the vehicle to supply power to the power system when the user is wearing a helmet correctly, thereby helping to ensure user safety.

[0073] Optionally, if the vehicle body includes a helmet detection sensor, step 103 above, upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, generates a control command, specifically including:

[0074] Upon receiving a response signal from the helmet and if the helmet detection sensor detects that the helmet is not located in the helmet housing, a control command is generated.

[0075] This embodiment can avoid supplying power to the power system 220 when the first and second connecting parts of the helmet are connected and the helmet is placed in the helmet housing, thereby helping to regulate the user's helmet wearing behavior and improve the user's vehicle safety.

[0076] In some feasible implementations, conventional sensors, such as pressure sensors, can also be installed in the helmet to detect whether the user is wearing a helmet. These conventional sensors can send the detected signals indicating whether the user is wearing a helmet to the vehicle. The vehicle can then generate control commands based on the signals from the conventional sensors indicating that the user is wearing a helmet, and the response signals from the helmet.

[0077] Optionally, after transmitting the radio frequency signal, the method further includes:

[0078] If no response signal is received within a preset time, a first prompt message is generated.

[0079] After a user sends a ride request via their mobile device, they may need to remove and put on a helmet, which typically takes time. The preset time can be adjusted to account for this time consumption. For example, the preset time might be set to 30 seconds, 45 seconds, or 60 seconds, etc.

[0080] In some implementations, upon receiving a usage request, the vehicle can continuously transmit radio frequency signals via a reader. If a response signal is received within a preset time, it indicates that the user is wearing the helmet correctly; if no response signal is received within the preset time, it indicates that the user is not wearing the helmet, or is not wearing the helmet correctly. In this case, the vehicle can generate a first prompt message to remind the user to wear the helmet correctly, such as a voice prompt "Power will be supplied after the helmet is worn correctly," or the vehicle may be equipped with LEDs that flash or emit a color to remind the user to wear the helmet correctly.

[0081] This application embodiment can prompt the user when the user requests to use the vehicle but is not wearing a helmet properly, so that the user can know the operation required to use the vehicle normally, thus improving the user experience.

[0082] Optionally, after generating the control commands, the method further includes:

[0083] Send heartbeat signals; the heartbeat information is a radio frequency signal sent according to a preset period.

[0084] If no response signal for heartbeat is received from the helmet within the first time period, a second prompt message is generated.

[0085] Generally, after the vehicle generates control commands, the power system is powered on, and the user can drive the vehicle normally. In some scenarios, the user may remove their helmet while riding for various reasons. If the user continues riding in this situation, it may pose a significant safety hazard. Based on this, in this embodiment, the vehicle can send a heartbeat signal via a reader. The heartbeat signal can be a radio frequency signal sent at a preset period. In some implementations, the radio frequency signal here can be the same signal as the radio frequency signal sent in step 301, or it can be a different signal; no specific limitation is made here.

[0086] The initial duration can be preset as needed, such as 10 seconds, 15 seconds, or 20 seconds. If the vehicle does not receive a response signal from the helmet regarding the heartbeat signal within the initial duration, it indicates that the RFID chip and RFID antenna in the helmet are disconnected, the first and second connecting parts of the fastening structure have detached, and the user is not wearing the helmet correctly. At this time, the vehicle can generate a second prompt message to remind the user to wear the helmet correctly through sound or light, ensuring the user's safety while using the vehicle.

[0087] In addition, in this embodiment, the heartbeat signal is a periodic radio frequency signal, which can save power consumption caused by radio frequency signal transmission to a certain extent.

[0088] In some examples, the second prompt message may be the same as the first prompt message, or it may be different.

[0089] In some implementations, the first duration can be longer than the preset period corresponding to the heartbeat signal. For example, the first duration can be K times the preset period, where K is an integer greater than 1. This can effectively reduce error messages caused by interference factors.

[0090] Optionally, after sending the heartbeat signal, the method further includes:

[0091] If no response signal to the heartbeat signal is received from the helmet within the second duration, a deceleration command is generated, wherein the second duration is longer than the first duration, and the deceleration command is used to control the deceleration of the power system.

[0092] As shown above, if the vehicle does not receive a response signal from the helmet for the heartbeat signal within the first time period, it indicates that the RFID chip and RFID antenna in the helmet are disconnected, the first connection part and the second connection part of the fastening structure are detached, and the user is not wearing the helmet properly.

[0093] In this situation, the vehicle can first prompt the user, and once the user correctly re-wears the helmet as prompted, the helmet can resume responding to the heartbeat signal. Conversely, if the user does not correctly re-wear the helmet, the vehicle will not receive the helmet's response signal to the heartbeat signal.

[0094] In this embodiment, considering the possibility that the user does not wear the helmet properly as prompted, a deceleration command can be generated if no response signal to the heartbeat signal is received from the helmet within the second time period, so as to control the power system to decelerate and thus effectively ensure the user's vehicle safety.

[0095] In some implementations, if no response signal to the heartbeat signal is received from the helmet within a third duration, the power system can be shut off, wherein the third duration is longer than the second duration.

[0096] Optionally, upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, control commands are generated, including:

[0097] Upon receiving a response signal and an image verification signal, a control command is generated. The image verification signal indicates that the helmet's fastening structure is located in the user's preset position based on image recognition.

[0098] In some implementations, a user can send a ride request via an application on their mobile terminal. Upon receiving the request, the server can communicate with the application to enable it to capture an image of the user's head. This head image is then sent to the server, which performs recognition to obtain image areas of the user's facial contour and the helmet's fastening structure. When the image area of ​​the helmet's fastening structure is located below or slightly below the user's facial contour, the server determines that the helmet's fastening structure is in the user's preset position, generates an image verification signal, and sends it to the vehicle. Thus, the image verification signal indicates that the helmet's fastening structure is indeed in the user's preset position based on image recognition.

[0099] In other implementations, image sensors can be installed on the vehicle to capture user images and send them to a server for image recognition. Once the server confirms, based on image recognition technology, that the helmet's fastening structure is in the user's preset position, it sends an image verification signal to the vehicle.

[0100] Generally, image recognition can accurately confirm whether a user is wearing a helmet. However, the image area corresponding to the fastening structure is small, making it difficult to confirm whether the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected based on image recognition. However, in combination with the description of the above embodiment and the settings of the RFID component and the reader, the vehicle can accurately determine whether the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected based on whether a response signal is received.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the vehicle receives the response signal and the image verification signal, it generates a control command. On the one hand, the image verification signal can accurately confirm that the user is wearing a helmet, and on the other hand, the response signal can accurately confirm that the user is wearing a helmet correctly. This helps to effectively ensure that the user is wearing a helmet correctly and to ensure the user's safety when using the vehicle.

[0102] As a variation of the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, after generating the first prompt message, the method further includes:

[0103] Upon receiving target feedback information on the first prompt information, an image verification request is sent. The target feedback information instructs the user to manually confirm that the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected. The image verification request is used to request confirmation based on image recognition whether the helmet's fastening structure is located in the user's preset position.

[0104] Upon receiving an image verification signal, a control command is generated. The image verification signal indicates that the helmet's fastening structure is located in the user's preset position based on image recognition.

[0105] In some scenarios, RFID components may fail. For example, the connectors or contacts corresponding to the RFID chip or antenna may become worn and unable to establish a reliable electrical connection. This embodiment can effectively address these scenarios, preventing RFID component failure from causing the helmet to be unable to communicate with the vehicle, which in turn could lead to a lack of power to the vehicle's power system.

[0106] In some specific implementations, the vehicle's first notification information can be sent to the user's mobile terminal to generate a notification message on the mobile terminal.

[0107] For example, the display interface shows multiple operation controls, which can display "Wearing" and "Report Fault" respectively. When a user is indeed not wearing the helmet correctly (for example, the helmet is already worn and the first and second connecting parts are connected), the user can click "Wearing" after fastening the buckle. If the user is wearing the helmet correctly but there is still a prompt message, they can click "Report Fault" and further select "Helmet Communication Fault".

[0108] In some feasible implementations, in response to the user's selection input of a preset control (such as "report fault" mentioned above), the mobile terminal can generate target feedback information for the first prompt information and send it to the vehicle, for example, by sending it directly to the vehicle via Bluetooth or indirectly to the vehicle via a server.

[0109] Upon receiving feedback information from the target, the vehicle can send an image verification request. The image verification request is used to request confirmation based on image recognition whether the helmet's fastening structure is located in the user's preset position.

[0110] The image verification request can be sent directly from the vehicle to the mobile terminal, or it can be sent indirectly to the mobile terminal through a server, so that the mobile terminal can acquire the user's image. The specific implementation method of the vehicle receiving the image verification signal has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0111] Upon receiving the image verification signal, the vehicle generates control commands to power the vehicle's power system. Thus, this embodiment can use image verification to remedy the user's helmet-wearing verification needs in cases such as RFID component failure, effectively preventing users from being unable to use the vehicle due to RFID component failure and improving vehicle operation efficiency.

[0112] Optionally, upon receiving a response signal from the helmet, control commands are generated, including:

[0113] Upon receiving a response signal, obtain the identity identifier carried in the response signal;

[0114] If the identity identifier is a preset identifier, generate control instructions.

[0115] It is easy to understand that RFID chips typically contain identification information, which can be sent from the RFID component to the reader during communication between the RFID component and the reader. Therefore, in this embodiment, when a vehicle receives a response signal, it can obtain the identification information carried in the response signal.

[0116] If the identity identifier is a preset identifier, a control command is generated, which can be used to control the power supply to the vehicle's power system.

[0117] In some examples, the vehicle may have a preset identifier. For instance, the vehicle body may have a memory that stores the preset identifier.

[0118] If the vehicle receives the identification carried in the response signal, it can compare the identification with a preset identifier to confirm whether the response signal received by the reader is sent by the helmet of the vehicle. If so, it means that the user of the vehicle has worn the helmet correctly; if not, it means that it may be a response signal sent by the helmet of another vehicle, and the user of the vehicle has not yet worn the helmet correctly.

[0119] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the vehicle obtains the identity identifier carried by the response signal, and generates control commands when the identity identifier is a preset identifier. This can effectively eliminate interference from external signals, effectively ensure that the user can use the vehicle normally while wearing a helmet properly, and improve the user's vehicle safety.
