Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and more specifically, to a remote monitoring and protection system, electronic device, and storage medium for commercial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Commercial vehicles are high-priced, high-return production materials, and are often sold and purchased through loans, which is an important supplement to purchasing power for commercial vehicles. However, vehicles purchased with loans carry loan risks; borrowers are prone to delaying or defaulting on payments, leading to economic disputes and posing significant risks to lending institutions.

[0003] Existing technical solutions:

[0004] The publicly available CN201810595865.5 scheme describes a vehicle remote monitoring system and method implemented through a vehicle controller, a remote monitoring platform, and an on-board terminal. It achieves remote control of abnormal vehicles through communication connections between the on-board terminal and the vehicle controller, between the on-board terminal and the remote monitoring platform, and through logical judgments such as the vehicle controller's monitoring of the on-board terminal's heartbeat.

[0005] The publicly available CN202110511310.X solution is a secure vehicle locking control method implemented through a remote platform, an onboard remote terminal, and an engine electronic control unit. The onboard terminal receives instructions from the remote platform and sends them to the engine electronic control unit to control the vehicle's locking mechanism. It also includes logical judgments for heartbeat monitoring, secure area locking, and emergency unlocking.

[0006] Disadvantages of existing technology:

[0007] Existing publicly available technical solutions can only enable remote control of vehicles when the vehicle terminal is communicating normally. They cannot enable remote control of vehicles when the vehicle terminal SIM card is out of credit or in an abnormal state, which prevents the vehicle terminal from logging in.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a remote monitoring and protection system, electronic equipment, and storage medium for commercial vehicles has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a remote monitoring and protection system, electronic device and storage medium for commercial vehicles.

[0010] The first aspect of this invention discloses a remote monitoring and protection system for commercial vehicles, the system comprising: a vehicle networking platform, an in-vehicle remote terminal, a body controller, and a voice broadcast unit;

[0011] The vehicle networking platform queries the vehicle's online status based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the commercial vehicle and sends control commands to the vehicle-mounted remote terminal via network connection.

[0012] The vehicle-mounted remote terminal obtains the vehicle's status through a communication connection, issues control commands to the body controller based on the vehicle's status, and feeds back the execution results of the control commands to the vehicle network platform.

[0013] After receiving the control command, the vehicle controller acquires the vehicle status in real time, executes the control command according to the vehicle status, and feeds back the execution result of the control command to the vehicle remote terminal.

[0014] The voice broadcasting unit provides voice prompts based on the control commands.

[0015] According to the system of the first aspect of the present invention, the method by which the vehicle networking platform queries the online status of a commercial vehicle based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) includes:

[0016] When a commercial vehicle is purchased through a financial loan, the vehicle identification number (VIN) is entered into the vehicle networking platform, and the remote control function of the commercial vehicle is activated. When the borrower fails to make a repayment on time, the vehicle networking platform queries the vehicle's online status based on the VIN.

[0017] According to a system based on a first aspect of the present invention, the method by which the vehicle-mounted remote terminal acquires the vehicle's status via a communication connection and issues the control command to the body controller based on the vehicle's status includes:

[0018] Determine whether the vehicle is in a safe condition based on its status.

[0019] If the vehicle is in the aforementioned safe state, then the control command is issued;

[0020] Otherwise, store the control instructions.

[0021] According to a system based on a first aspect of the present invention, the method by which the body controller executes the control command based on the state of the vehicle includes:

[0022] Determine whether the vehicle is in a safe condition based on its status.

[0023] If the vehicle is in the aforementioned safe state, then the control command is executed;

[0024] Otherwise, suspend the control command;

[0025] The method for executing the control command includes:

[0026] Determine whether the vehicle has been unlocked in an emergency on that day. If it has not been unlocked in an emergency on that day, execute the control command.

[0027] According to a system of a first aspect of the present invention, the method for determining whether a vehicle is in a safe state based on the vehicle's state includes:

[0028] The vehicle's driving status is determined based on its startup status, current vehicle speed, and current location; if the vehicle is not driving, it is set to a safe state.

[0029] According to the system of the first aspect of the present invention, the system further includes:

[0030] When the vehicle's SIM card is out of credit or is manually removed, the vehicle-mounted remote terminal sends a terminal communication abnormality indication to the body controller. The body controller counts the number of power-on cycles while the vehicle is powered on. Starting 10 minutes after the vehicle is powered on, it monitors whether the terminal communication function is abnormal. If the terminal communication is still abnormal, the voice broadcast unit plays a second voice reminder and checks the number of power-on cycles. If the number of power-on cycles does not exceed 5, the count is checked again on the next power-on cycle. When the number of power-on cycles exceeds 5, the body controller determines that the vehicle is in a safe state and executes the control command.

[0031] According to the system of the first aspect of the present invention, the system further includes:

[0032] When the vehicle-mounted remote terminal is unplugged or damaged, the body controller counts the number of startup cycles after the vehicle starts. It continuously monitors the heartbeat message of the vehicle-mounted remote terminal within 1 minute after the vehicle starts. If no heartbeat message is received, the voice broadcast unit plays the first voice reminder and determines the number of startup cycles. If the number of startup cycles does not exceed 5, the number of startup cycles is determined again after the next power-on. When the number of power-on cycles is greater than 5, the body controller determines that the vehicle is in a safe state and executes the control command.

[0033] According to the system of the first aspect of the present invention, the content of the voice prompt includes:

[0034] The first voice prompt is "The current vehicle terminal is malfunctioning. Please contact us for repair."

[0035] The second voice prompt is: "The current in-vehicle terminal SIM network is abnormal. Please check if your SIM card is overdue."

[0036] The third voice prompt is "The vehicle is about to be limited in speed. Please pay your loan on time."

[0037] The fourth voice prompt is "Vehicle emergency start successful, please pay the loan on time".

[0038] A second aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, the device including a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program that, when executed by the processor, performs a method as described in the first aspect of the present invention in a remote monitoring and protection system for a commercial vehicle.

[0039] A third aspect of the present invention provides a storage medium storing a computer program that can be executed by one or more processors and can be used to implement a method in a remote monitoring and protection system for a commercial vehicle as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0040] According to the technical content disclosed in this invention, the following beneficial effects are achieved: It enables vehicle abnormality status alerts and vehicle control in various complex scenarios, effectively avoiding control failures caused by human factors and further improving the accuracy of remote vehicle control. Simultaneously, it incorporates logical design to avoid vehicle locking that may be caused by vehicle malfunction or signal loss, and provides an emergency vehicle de-control method, realizing the safe application of functions in various complex scenarios.
