[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0040] This application discloses a traffic accident alarm method, device, non-motorized vehicle, and storage medium, which can accurately judge traffic accidents involving non-motorized vehicles and promptly issue automatic alarms, thereby improving the intelligence level of non-motorized vehicles. Detailed descriptions follow.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an application scenario of a traffic accident alarm method in one embodiment. For example... Figure 1As shown, the device may include a non-motorized vehicle 10, which can be a vehicle other than a motorized vehicle such as an electric bicycle or a bicycle. The terminal device 10 may include at least a central processing unit and two handlebars 20. The computer system in the non-motorized vehicle 10 may be Windows, Linux, iOS, or Unix, without specific limitations. The non-motorized vehicle 10 is equipped with at least a device for detecting acceleration and a device for detecting pressure, wherein the device for detecting pressure may be respectively installed on the two handlebars 20. The non-motorized vehicle can detect its acceleration through the acceleration sensor or other acceleration detection device. When the acceleration exceeds a first acceleration threshold, the non-motorized vehicle can detect the pressure value on the two handlebars through the pressure sensor or other pressure detection device. When the pressure value on one or both handlebars does not meet the pressure value range, it is determined that a traffic accident has occurred, and the non-motorized vehicle activates the traffic accident alarm program to sound an alarm.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a traffic accident alarm method in one embodiment. This method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The non-motorized vehicle 10 shown in the application scenario has two handles. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0043] 210. Acceleration of non-motorized vehicles was detected.

[0044] In this embodiment, the non-motorized vehicle can detect its own acceleration using a device capable of detecting acceleration, such as an accelerometer. After detecting its own acceleration, the non-motorized vehicle compares the detected acceleration with a preset first acceleration threshold. For example, an electric bicycle, through an accelerometer installed on its body, detects an acceleration of 11 m / s², while the preset first acceleration threshold is 10 m / s², and then determines the relationship between the acceleration and the first acceleration threshold.

[0045] 220. When the acceleration is greater than the first acceleration threshold, detect the pressure value of the two grips.

[0046] In this embodiment, if the non-motorized vehicle's acceleration is less than or equal to a first acceleration threshold, the non-motorized vehicle can confirm that the current acceleration is normal and will not enter the accident detection procedure for accident detection judgment. If the non-motorized vehicle's acceleration is greater than the first acceleration threshold, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that the current acceleration is abnormal, and at this time, the non-motorized vehicle enters the accident detection procedure for accident detection judgment. After the non-motorized vehicle enters the accident detection procedure, it can use a pressure-detecting device, such as a pressure sensor, to detect the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars on the non-motorized vehicle. After detecting the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars, the non-motorized vehicle can compare the detected pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars with preset pressure value ranges. For example, if an electric bicycle determines that its acceleration is greater than the first acceleration threshold, it can use pressure sensors installed on the two handlebars of the electric bicycle to detect the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars. The handlebars on the electric bicycle are used by the driver to grip and control the front of the electric bicycle. The electric scooter detects pressure values ​​of 10N and 0N on its two handlebars, with a preset pressure range of 1N-20N. When the pressure is less than 1N, the scooter assumes the rider is not gripping the handlebars; when the pressure is greater than 20N, the scooter assumes the rider is gripping the handlebars with abnormal force. The scooter determines whether the pressure values ​​on the two handlebars fall within the preset pressure range.

[0047] 230. If the pressure value of any handle does not meet the pressure value range, it is determined that a non-motorized vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident, and the traffic accident alarm procedure is activated.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the process of determining whether the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars meet the pressure value range (i.e., whether they are within the preset pressure value range), if both handlebars are within the pressure value range, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that the driver is holding both handlebars normally. In this case, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that no accident has occurred, and therefore will not activate the accident alarm procedure and will deactivate the aforementioned accident detection procedure. If one handlebar receives pressure within the pressure value range while the other handle does not, or if both handlebars receive pressure outside the pressure value range, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that the driver has released the handlebars or that the driver has gripped the handlebars with abnormal force. In this case, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that an accident has occurred and will activate the accident alarm procedure. For example, the electric bicycle detects pressure values ​​of 10N and 0N on the two handlebars, with a preset pressure value range of 1N-20N. The electric scooter determines that the pressure value of 0N on one handle is not within the preset pressure value range of 1N-20N, while the pressure value of 10N on the other handle is within the preset pressure value range of 1N-20N. Therefore, the electric scooter can determine that the pressure value of the driver's hand cannot be detected on one handle, and thus determine that the driver has been in a traffic accident, thereby activating the traffic accident alarm program to issue an alarm.

[0049] By adopting the above embodiments, accurate judgment of whether a non-motorized vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident can be achieved, and timely automatic alarms can be issued, thereby improving the intelligence level of non-motorized vehicles.

[0050] In some embodiments, the process of determining that a non-motorized vehicle accident has occurred and initiating an accident alarm procedure when the pressure value received by any handle does not meet the pressure value range in step 230 may include the following steps:

[0051] When the pressure value of any handle does not meet the pressure value range, the height values ​​of the front, body and rear of the non-motorized vehicle and the ground are detected respectively.

[0052] If at least two of the following height values—the height between the front of the vehicle and the ground, the height between the vehicle body and the ground, and the height between the rear of the vehicle and the ground—are less than a preset height threshold, a non-motorized vehicle accident is determined to have occurred, and the accident alarm procedure is activated.

[0053] In this embodiment, when a non-motorized vehicle is determining whether the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars meet the pressure value range (i.e., whether they are within a preset pressure value range), if one handlebar receives pressure within the range while the other does not, or if neither handle receives pressure within the range, the non-motorized vehicle can use sensors installed on its front, body, and parking space to detect the height of each component relative to the ground. If all three height values ​​are greater than the preset height value, the non-motorized vehicle is considered not to have fallen to the ground, and thus no accident has occurred, eliminating the need to activate the accident alarm procedure. If at least two of the three height values ​​are less than the preset height threshold, most of the non-motorized vehicle's structure is considered to have fallen to the ground, and the non-motorized vehicle can determine that an accident has occurred, thereby activating the accident alarm procedure for automatic alarm activation.

[0054] For example, under normal driving conditions, the heights of the front, body, and parking space of a non-motorized vehicle relative to the ground are 1m, 0.8m, and 1m, respectively. Therefore, the preset height threshold can be 0.3m. When the non-motorized vehicle is determining whether the pressure values ​​on the two handlebars meet the pressure value range (i.e., whether they are within the preset pressure value range), if the pressure value on one handlebar is outside this range, and the non-motorized vehicle detects that the current heights of the front, body, and parking space relative to the ground are 0.1m, 0.2m, and 0.1m, respectively, then it can be considered that the non-motorized vehicle is lying on the ground. In this case, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that a traffic accident has occurred and initiate the traffic accident alarm procedure.

[0055] By adopting the above embodiments, it is possible to make a judgment based on the acceleration of the non-motorized vehicle and the pressure value on the handle, combined with the height of various parts of the non-motorized vehicle, which can improve the accuracy of traffic accident judgment.

[0056] In some embodiments, the process of determining that a non-motorized vehicle accident has occurred and initiating an accident alarm procedure when the pressure value received by any handle does not meet the pressure value range in step 230 may include the following steps:

[0057] When the pressure value of any grip does not meet the pressure value range, the pressure value of the non-motorized vehicle user's driving area is detected.

[0058] If the pressure value in the user's driving area is less than the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that a non-motorized vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident, and the traffic accident alarm procedure is activated.

[0059] In this embodiment, when a non-motorized vehicle is determining whether the pressure values ​​received by the two handlebars meet a pressure value range (i.e., whether they are within a preset pressure value range), if one handlebar receives pressure within the range while the other does not, or if neither handle receives pressure within the range, the non-motorized vehicle can detect the pressure value in its user driving area using pressure sensors or similar devices. The user driving area can be the seat or the area where the user stands. If the pressure value in the user driving area is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold, the user is considered to still be within the driving area, and the non-motorized vehicle can determine that no accident has occurred, thus eliminating the need to activate an accident alarm. If the pressure value in the user driving area is less than the preset pressure threshold, the user is considered to have left the driving area, and the non-motorized vehicle can determine that an accident has occurred, thereby activating the accident alarm for automatic alert.

[0060] For example, when a user is driving a non-motorized vehicle normally, the pressure value in the user's driving area is 300N-1000N. Therefore, the preset pressure threshold can be 20N. When the non-motorized vehicle is determining whether the pressure values ​​of the two handles meet the pressure value range (i.e., whether they are within the preset pressure value range), if the pressure value of one handle is outside the range, and the non-motorized vehicle detects a pressure value of 1N in the current user's driving area, then it can be considered that the user is not in the non-motorized vehicle's driving area. At this point, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that a traffic accident has occurred and initiate the traffic accident alarm procedure.

[0061] By adopting the above embodiments, it is possible to make a judgment based on the acceleration of the non-motorized vehicle and the pressure value on the handlebar, combined with the pressure value on the driving area of ​​the non-motorized vehicle user, which can improve the accuracy of traffic accident judgment.

[0062] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle accident alarm method disclosed in one embodiment. This method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The non-motorized vehicle 10 shown in the application scenario has two handles. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0063] 310. Acceleration of non-motorized vehicles was detected.

[0064] 320. When the acceleration is greater than the first acceleration threshold, detect the pressure value of the two grips.

[0065] 330. When the pressure value of any handle does not meet the pressure value range, it is determined that a non-motorized vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident, and a traffic accident alarm message is output; or, a traffic accident alarm message is sent to a terminal device that has established a communication connection with the non-motorized vehicle in advance, so that the terminal device outputs a traffic accident alarm message, which is used to notify the driver that a traffic accident has been determined to have occurred on the non-motorized vehicle.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, when the non-motorized vehicle is determining whether the pressure values ​​of the two handlebars meet the pressure value range, that is, whether they are within the preset pressure value range, if the pressure values ​​of the two handlebars are both within the pressure value range, then the non-motorized vehicle can determine that the driver is holding the two handlebars normally. At this time, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that no traffic accident has occurred, and the non-motorized vehicle can choose not to output traffic accident alarm information or not to send traffic accident alarm information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device outputs traffic accident alarm information and cancels the above-mentioned traffic accident detection procedure. If the pressure value of one of the two handlebars is within the pressure range, while the pressure value of the other handlebar is not, or if the pressure values ​​of both handlebars are not within the pressure range, then the non-motorized vehicle can determine that the driver has either released the handlebars or gripped them abnormally tightly. In this case, the non-motorized vehicle can determine that a traffic accident has occurred. The non-motorized vehicle can then output a traffic accident alarm message through voice playback or on-board screen display. Alternatively, if the non-motorized vehicle lacks both voice playback and an on-board screen, the driver can be prompted to establish a pre-established communication connection between the non-motorized vehicle and the terminal device before driving. When a traffic accident is determined to have occurred, the non-motorized vehicle can generate a traffic accident alarm message and send it to the connected terminal device. The terminal device can then output the traffic accident alarm message through voice playback or on its screen, thus alerting the driver that a traffic accident has occurred. If no user action is received regarding the traffic accident alarm within the preset time period, the non-motorized vehicle can obtain its location information through GPS positioning modules and send the location information to emergency assistance agencies such as the police and hospitals to report the incident and request help.

[0067] For example, before a user starts riding an electric scooter, they can be required to scan a QR code to bind their mobile phone number or WeChat application; otherwise, the scooter cannot start. After binding, if the scooter determines that an accident has occurred based on detected acceleration and pressure on the handlebars, it can continuously play a warning sound through its horn and / or display a warning message on a small screen to output accident alarm information. Alternatively, the scooter can send an accident alarm message to the mobile phone bound to the phone number or WeChat application, causing the phone to output a warning sound and / or display a warning message, thus notifying the user that an accident has occurred. If the user does not stop the warning sound output and / or stop the warning message display within 3 minutes, the scooter can obtain its current location through its GPS positioning module and dial 110 and / or 120, reporting its current location via voice to report the emergency and request assistance.

[0068] Using the above embodiments, traffic accident alarm information can be automatically output to notify the user that a traffic accident has occurred, thereby automatically alarming and requesting help. This notifies the user that a traffic accident has been identified, and the user does not need to manually call the alarm, thus improving the intelligence level of non-motorized vehicles.

[0069] 340. If a user inputs an alarm shutdown operation for a traffic accident alarm within a preset time period, stop outputting the traffic accident alarm information; or, control the terminal device to stop outputting the traffic accident alarm information.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, when a non-motorized vehicle directly outputs a traffic accident alarm information or outputs a traffic accident alarm information through a terminal device to activate the traffic accident alarm program, the user can, within a preset time period, input an alarm shutdown operation for the traffic accident alarm information through voice input or manual operation to stop the output of the traffic accident alarm information, or control the terminal device to stop outputting the traffic accident alarm information, thereby terminating the traffic accident alarm program.

[0071] For example, if an electric scooter uses its horn to emit a warning sound to alert a user that a traffic accident has occurred, and the user believes there has been no accident or that an alarm is unnecessary, they can press the relevant button on the scooter to stop the horn from playing the warning sound, thus terminating the traffic accident alarm procedure. Alternatively, if the electric scooter sends a traffic accident alarm message to a mobile phone, and the phone outputs a warning sound through its speaker, the user can press the relevant button on the scooter. In this case, the scooter generates an alarm termination message, which controls the terminal device to stop outputting the traffic accident alarm message. The scooter sends the alarm termination message to the terminal device, and upon receiving the message, the terminal device stops the speaker from outputting the warning sound, thus terminating the traffic accident alarm procedure. Or, if the terminal device receives an alarm deactivation command from the user via voice or screen tapping, the terminal device automatically stops outputting the traffic accident alarm message.

[0072] Using the above embodiments, if a non-motorized vehicle determines that a traffic accident has occurred, but the user believes that no traffic accident has occurred, the user can input an alarm shutdown operation within a preset time period to stop the output of traffic accident alarm information, thereby terminating the subsequent automatic alarm program. This effectively avoids automatic alarms caused by misjudgment by non-motorized vehicles and further improves the accuracy of the traffic accident alarm process.

[0073] 350. If no alarm shutdown operation for traffic accident alarm information is detected by the user within a preset time period, the location information of the non-motorized vehicle and the information of the pre-stored emergency contact person are obtained, and a distress message is sent to the emergency contact person based on the emergency contact person's information. The distress message includes location information.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, before the user starts the non-motorized vehicle, the non-motorized vehicle may require the user to bind a mobile phone number or WeChat application, and at the same time require the user to store the information of an emergency contact, which may specifically include the emergency contact's mobile phone number.

[0075] When a non-motorized vehicle directly outputs accident alarm information or outputs accident alarm information through a terminal device to activate the accident alarm program, the non-motorized vehicle can continuously detect whether the user has entered an alarm-off operation via voice, button click, or screen click within a preset time period. If the non-motorized vehicle does not detect any alarm-off operation by the user within the preset time period, it can obtain its current location via GPS positioning and retrieve pre-stored emergency contact information such as mobile phone numbers. Then, the non-motorized vehicle generates a distress message based on its current location and sends it to the emergency contact based on the obtained emergency contact information, thus informing the emergency contact of the accident.

[0076] For example, a non-motorized vehicle could be a scooter used by a user outdoors. If the scooter uses its horn to emit a warning sound to alert the user that an accident has occurred, and the user does not press the relevant button on the scooter to stop the horn from playing the warning sound within a preset time period, then the scooter has accurately determined that an accident has occurred. At this point, the scooter can obtain its current location via GPS and the parent's phone number, and then inform the parent of the current location and the accident via voice call.

[0077] Using the above embodiments, since some users are in areas near their homes when riding non-motorized vehicles such as scooters, if the non-motorized vehicle determines that a traffic accident has occurred and the user has not stopped outputting the traffic accident alarm information, it will inform the parents or other emergency contacts of the situation and location information of the traffic accident, so that the user can be rescued more promptly and the intelligence level of the non-motorized vehicle can be improved.

[0078] In some embodiments, the traffic accident alarm method may further include the following steps:

[0079] If no alarm deactivation operation for traffic accident alarm information is detected by the user within the preset time period, the audio device on the non-motorized vehicle is turned on, and the audio device is controlled to output a prompt tone at the maximum volume.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the non-motorized vehicle directly outputs accident alarm information or outputs accident alarm information through a terminal device to activate the accident alarm program, the non-motorized vehicle can continuously detect whether the user has inputted an alarm-off operation for the accident alarm information via voice, button click, or screen click within a preset time period. If the non-motorized vehicle does not detect any alarm-off operation input by the user within the preset time period, the non-motorized vehicle can activate the audio output device installed on the non-motorized vehicle and control the audio device to output a prompt tone at maximum volume.

[0081] By adopting the above embodiments, when a non-motorized vehicle determines that a traffic accident has occurred and the user has not stopped outputting the traffic accident alarm information, it can control the audio device to output a prompt tone at the maximum volume to attract the attention of nearby pedestrians or vehicles, thereby enabling nearby pedestrians or vehicles to promptly report the traffic accident and provide assistance to the user, thus improving the intelligence level of non-motorized vehicles.

[0082] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a traffic accident alarm device disclosed in an embodiment of this application. This traffic accident alarm device can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The non-motorized vehicle 10 is shown in the application scenario. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the traffic accident alarm device 400 may include: an acceleration module 410, a pressure module 420, and an alarm module 430.

[0083] Acceleration module 410 is used to detect the acceleration of non-motorized vehicles;

[0084] The pressure module 420 is used to detect the pressure values ​​of the two handles installed on the non-motorized vehicle when the acceleration is greater than a first acceleration threshold.

[0085] The alarm module 430 is used to determine that a non-motorized vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident and to activate the traffic accident alarm program when the pressure value received by any handle does not meet the pressure value range.

[0086] In some embodiments, the alarm module 430 is further configured to:

[0087] Output vehicle accident alarm information;

[0088] or,

[0089] The system sends a traffic accident alarm message to a terminal device that has established a communication connection with the non-motorized vehicle beforehand, so that the terminal device can output the traffic accident alarm message. The traffic accident alarm message is used to notify the driver that a traffic accident involving a non-motorized vehicle has been determined.

[0090] In some embodiments, the alarm module 430 is further configured to:
