[0077] The display method for the vehicle-mounted unit provided in this application can be applied to terminal devices such as vehicle-mounted units (OBUs) equipped with power-off display units. This application does not limit the specific type of terminal device. The power-off display unit can be an e-ink screen, some new LCD displays, etc., as in the prior art, and this application does not specifically limit it.

[0078] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of the display method of the vehicle-mounted unit provided in this application is shown. It is an example and not a limitation. The method can be applied to the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted unit.

[0079] S101. Obtain the operating voltage of the vehicle-mounted unit in real time.

[0080] Specifically, after the vehicle unit is started, the vehicle unit needs to monitor its own operating voltage in real time to determine whether the vehicle unit is in a powered operating mode at the current moment.

[0081] S102. When the operating voltage is detected to be within the first preset range, the data to be displayed is acquired once every preset time interval and stored in the power-off display unit.

[0082] Specifically, when the operating voltage of the vehicle-mounted unit is detected to be within a first preset range, it is determined that the vehicle-mounted unit is currently in a powered operating mode. Data to be displayed is acquired and stored in the power-off display unit at preset intervals, and the storage time for storing this data is determined. The power-off display unit is specifically a low-power display unit that supports power-off display. It consists of a main body, a flash memory chip, and a screen driver, and includes a power management module, a communication module, and a character library unit supporting different display content. The communication module communicates with the control unit of the vehicle-mounted unit to respond based on the operating voltage of the vehicle-mounted unit, thereby achieving the low-power display function. The data to be displayed specifically includes all the status data that the power-off display unit can display in low-power mode. The first preset range is a pre-set normal operating voltage range, for example, 3-5V.

[0083] For example, the data to be displayed includes, but is not limited to, device information of the vehicle unit, product model, manufacturer's brand logo, after-sales service phone number, date, current power status (e.g., low battery), fault codes, a list of common problems within the vehicle unit, and the three most recent transactions. Correspondingly, all of the above data needs to be acquired in real time when the operating voltage is detected to be within a first preset range.

[0084] The preset duration can be set according to actual needs. For example, if the preset duration is set to 60 seconds, the vehicle unit needs to acquire the data to be displayed every 60 seconds and store it in the power-off display unit.

[0085] S103. When the operating voltage is detected to be lower than the minimum value of the first preset range, it is determined that the power-off display unit has entered the low power mode, and the power-off display unit is controlled to display the first target display data in the data to be displayed.

[0086] Specifically, when the operating voltage of the vehicle unit is detected to be lower than the minimum value of the first preset range, it is determined that the vehicle unit may be too low due to internal faults or external reasons, that is, the operating mode of the vehicle unit enters the low power mode, the first target display data in the data to be displayed is determined, and the power is cut off so that the display unit can display the above-mentioned first target display data.

[0087] Understandably, because the on-board unit reads the data to be displayed multiple times and stores it in the power-off display unit during the powered-on operation mode, the power-off display unit may contain a large amount of data to be displayed. Therefore, it is necessary to select the first target display data that meets the display requirements. For example, the data whose storage time is closest to the time of entering low-power mode can be selected as the first target display data.

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, when the operating voltage is detected to be lower than the minimum value of a first preset range, determining that the power-off display unit's operating mode enters a low-power mode, and controlling the power-off display unit to display the first target display data from the data to be displayed, includes:

[0089] S1031. When the operating voltage is detected to be lower than the preset operating voltage, it is determined that the power-off display unit enters the low power mode.

[0090] S1032. Determine the first target display data in the data to be displayed, and control the power-off display unit to display the first target display data; wherein, the first target display data is the data to be displayed whose storage time is closest to the time interval between entering the low power mode.

[0091] Specifically, when the operating voltage of the vehicle unit is detected to be lower than the preset operating voltage (i.e., the minimum value of the first preset range), it is determined that the current operating mode of the power-off display unit on the vehicle unit has entered a low-power mode, and the low-power display function needs to be activated through the power-off display unit. The storage time of each data to be displayed stored in the power-off display unit is determined, and the data to be displayed with the smallest time difference (or the shortest time interval) between the above storage time and the time of entering the low-power mode is determined as the first target display data, and the power-off display unit is controlled to display the above first target display data.

[0092] For example, if the preset duration is 10 seconds, the storage time of the data to be displayed is detected as 10:00:03, and the time of entering low power mode is 10:00:12, then the data to be stored is the last data to be displayed obtained by the power-off display unit on the vehicle unit before entering low power mode, and the data to be displayed is determined to be the first target display data.

[0093] By monitoring that the operating voltage of the vehicle unit is lower than the preset voltage, it is determined that the power-off display unit on the vehicle unit is in a low-power operating mode. The power-off display unit is then controlled to display the first target display data that has been stored in advance. This enables the display of the pre-stored display data in the powered mode to be displayed in a timely manner when the vehicle unit enters the low-power mode, thus avoiding the problem of display failure due to the low power of the vehicle unit.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, after acquiring the operating voltage of the vehicle-mounted unit in real time, the method further includes:

[0095] S104. When the operating voltage is detected to be within the first preset range, the power-off display unit is determined to be in a powered operating mode.

[0096] S105. When the working mode is detected to be a powered working mode, the working state of the vehicle unit is determined, and the power-off display unit is controlled to display the second target display data corresponding to the working state.

[0097] Specifically, when the operating voltage of the vehicle-mounted unit is detected to be within a first preset range, the operating mode of the power-off display unit is determined to be the powered operating mode. The current operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit is determined, the operating state data corresponding to the operating state is acquired as the second target display data, and the power-off display unit is controlled to display the second target display data corresponding to the above operating state.

[0098] In one embodiment, the data to be displayed further includes the second target display data, and after determining that the power-off display unit has entered a low-power mode, the method further includes:

[0099] The power-off control unit can simultaneously display the first target display data and the second target display data.

[0100] Specifically, the time when the operating voltage of the vehicle unit becomes lower than the preset minimum operating voltage is determined as the time to enter the low power mode; the first target operating state of the vehicle unit in the previous powered mode is determined, and the operating state data corresponding to the first target operating state is determined as the second target display data; the power-off control allows the display unit to simultaneously display the first target display data and the second target display data.

[0101] As an example and not a limitation, the operating states of the vehicle unit include, but are not limited to, pending activation, activated, fault, quality inspection and testing, and engineering debugging.

[0102] When the on-board unit is in low power mode, the power-off control unit can simultaneously display the first target display data corresponding to the low power mode and the second target display data corresponding to the working state in stable voltage mode. This allows the ETC system to obtain information in low power mode as well as important information in power mode, improving the information interaction efficiency of the ETC system.

[0103] In one embodiment, when the operating mode is detected to be a powered operating mode, determining the operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit and controlling the power-off display unit to display second target display data corresponding to the operating state includes:

[0104] When the vehicle unit is detected to be powered on for the first time, the working state is determined to be the quality inspection test state, and the second target display data is the quality inspection test state data;

[0105] When the quality inspection completion flag is detected, it is determined that the working state has entered the waiting state, and the second target display data is the waiting state data;

[0106] When the activation program completion flag is detected, it is determined that the working state has entered the activated state, and the second target display data is the activated state data.

[0107] Generally, upon initial power-on of the vehicle-mounted unit, a quality inspection test is required to ensure its operational capability. Correspondingly, upon detecting that the vehicle-mounted unit is powering on for the first time, the operating state is determined to be the quality inspection test state. The quality inspection test status data is acquired as secondary target display data, which can be displayed on the unit's screen after power is cut off. The quality inspection test status data includes, but is not limited to, current quality inspection information, information that has passed quality inspection, information pending quality inspection (i.e., the quality inspection information to be executed at the next moment), vehicle-mounted unit device information, quality inspection QR code, product batch number, and quality inspection deadline.

[0108] Specifically, upon detecting the quality inspection completion flag, the vehicle-mounted unit needs to be activated to enter normal operating mode, confirming its working status and entering a pending activation state. Simultaneously, it acquires pending activation state data as secondary target display data, which can be displayed on the unit after power is cut off. This pending activation state data includes, but is not limited to, the vehicle-mounted unit's device information, product model, manufacturer's brand logo, after-sales service phone number, date, current power status, activation steps, activation QR code, and the vehicle-mounted unit manufacturer's promotional slogans.

[0109] Specifically, upon detecting the activation program completion flag, the on-board unit's operating state changes from the pending activation state to the activated state. Activated state data is acquired and used as secondary target display data, which can be displayed on the on-board unit upon power failure. This activated state data includes, but is not limited to, the on-board unit's device information, product model, manufacturer's logo, after-sales service phone number, date, current power status, manufacturer's promotional slogan, Bluetooth status, tamper protection status, and invoicing information.

[0110] By monitoring the number of times the user powers on, the status of the quality inspection program, the activation program, and other information in real time, the current working status of the vehicle unit can be determined in a timely manner, and the corresponding working status data can be displayed when the power is off. This enables the correct status data to be displayed in a timely manner when there is power.

[0111] In one embodiment, the step of determining the operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit and controlling the power-off display unit to display second target display data corresponding to the operating state when the operating mode is detected to be a powered operating mode further includes:

[0112] When the working state is detected to be activated, a fault detection program is executed to obtain the fault detection result;

[0113] When the fault detection result is a fault state, the second target displays fault state data;

[0114] When the fault state is cleared, the working state switches to the activated state, and the second target display data is the activated state data.

[0115] Specifically, when the on-board unit is detected to be in an activated state, a fault detection program is executed to obtain the fault detection result of the on-board unit. When the fault detection result is a fault state, fault state data is acquired and used as secondary target display data, which can be displayed on the on-board unit after power failure. The fault state data includes, but is not limited to, the on-board unit's device information, product model, manufacturer's brand logo, after-sales service telephone number, date, current power status (e.g., power failure), and fault code.

[0116] Specifically, when the fault of the vehicle-mounted unit is detected to have been repaired (i.e., when the fault state is resolved), the operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit is switched to the activated state. The activated state data is acquired as the second target display data and displayed on the display unit after power failure.

[0117] The vehicle unit's self-test program determines whether the vehicle is in a faulty state. If a fault occurs, the corresponding fault data can be displayed by powering off the display unit, which can promptly remind users to inspect the vehicle unit, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle unit and the accuracy of the displayed information.

[0118] In one embodiment, the step of determining the operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit and controlling the power-off display unit to display second target display data corresponding to the operating state when the operating mode is detected to be a powered operating mode further includes:

[0119] When the working state is activated, a debugging instruction is received, and the working state is updated to the engineering debugging state, and the second target display data is the engineering debugging state data.

[0120] Specifically, when the working state is activated, if a debugging command is received, the current working state is switched from activated to engineering debugging state, and the engineering debugging program is executed. Engineering debugging status data is acquired as secondary target display data and displayed via a power-off display unit. Engineering debugging status data includes, but is not limited to, order information, equipment information, product production batch, and printed debugging content from the vehicle-mounted unit.

[0121] In one embodiment, the step of determining the operating state of the vehicle-mounted unit and controlling the power-off display unit to display second target display data corresponding to the operating state when the operating mode is detected to be a powered operating mode further includes:

[0122] When the working state is the engineering debugging state, upon detecting the completion of the engineering debugging program and receiving an instruction to exit the engineering debugging state, the working state is updated to the activated state, and the second target display data is the activated state data.

[0123] Specifically, when the working state is the engineering debugging state, upon detecting the completion of the engineering debugging program and receiving an instruction to exit the engineering debugging state, the working state is switched from the engineering debugging state to the activated state, the activated state data is acquired as the second target display data, and displayed by the power-off display unit.

[0124] By promptly updating the corresponding working status through received instructions, timely acquiring status information, and displaying the corresponding working status data through the power-off display unit, the system can display the correct status data in a timely manner when power is available, thereby improving the real-time performance and accuracy of the vehicle-mounted unit's information display function.

[0125] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0126] When the vehicle-mounted unit loses power, the power-off display unit displays the data that was displayed before the power outage.

[0127] Specifically, when a power failure is detected in the vehicle unit, the operating mode and corresponding display data of the vehicle unit before entering the power failure state are determined, and the display data before the power failure is displayed through the power failure display unit.

[0128] For example, if the vehicle unit's operating mode before power failure is low-power mode, then in low-power mode, the display unit can display the first target data via power failure. Alternatively, if the vehicle unit's operating mode before power failure is powered and in a pending activation state, then in low-power mode, the display unit can display the pending activation state data via power failure.

[0129] This embodiment installs a low-power, non-refreshing, and power-off-enabled display unit in the vehicle-mounted unit, and monitors the operating voltage in real time. When the operating voltage is detected to be within a first preset range, the data to be displayed is acquired and stored in the power-off-enabled display unit at preset time intervals. When the operating voltage is detected to be lower than the minimum value of the first preset range, the power-off-enabled display unit is determined to enter a low-power mode, and the unit is controlled to display the first target display data from the data to be displayed. In other words, by monitoring the operating voltage in real time, the system acquires and stores the data to be displayed when the operating voltage is within a preset voltage range, and promptly displays the first target display data from the pre-stored data to be displayed when the operating voltage is detected to be in a low-power mode, thus continuing to display information even in low-power mode.
