[0043] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0044] As described above, due to relevant regulations requiring that the vehicle cannot have a driving function during the process of plugging in the charging gun, in the current remote control technology of the vehicle, when the T-BOX (Telematics BOX, remote wireless terminal) determines that the vehicle is in the state of plugging in the charging gun, it directly feedbacks that the vehicle condition is unstable and the vehicle cannot be started, thus making the remote air conditioner function invalid.

[0045] In view of this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a vehicle air conditioner remote control method, system, and vehicle. The method includes: the central electronic module obtains a charging gun status signal in response to a remote start instruction sent by the remote wireless terminal; the charging gun status signal is used to represent whether the vehicle is in the charging gun state; the remote start instruction is sent by the remote wireless terminal in response to a remote air conditioner instruction from the vehicle networking remote service platform; the remote air conditioner instruction is sent by the vehicle networking remote service platform in response to a remote air conditioner request from the client; the remote air conditioner request is sent by the client in response to a user operation; the power gear is turned on according to the charging gun status signal; the signal of turning on the power is sent to the remote wireless terminal, so that the remote wireless terminal controls the air conditioner control system to turn on the air conditioner according to the signal of turning on the power. This method determines whether the vehicle is in the charging gun state through the central electronic module, performs corresponding operation controls according to the charging gun status signal to achieve power on and high-voltage power on, and enables the T-BOX to control the air conditioner to turn on based on the signal of turning on the power and the signal of completing high-voltage power on, and can realize remotely turning on the air conditioner when the vehicle is in the charging gun charging state.

[0046] For ease of understanding, first, an introduction is provided to a vehicle air conditioner remote control system framework according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] Figure 1 FIG. 4 is a structural diagram of a vehicle air conditioner remote control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system includes: a client 110, a telematics service provider (TSP) 120, a telematics box (T-BOX) 130, and a central electronic module (CEM) 140.

[0048] The client 110 is configured to send a remote air conditioner turn-on request to the telematics service provider in response to a user operation.

[0049] The telematics service provider TSP 120 is configured to send a remote air conditioner turn-on instruction to the remote wireless terminal in response to the remote air conditioner turn-on request.

[0050] The remote wireless terminal T-BOX 130 is configured to send a remote start instruction to the central electronic module in response to the remote air conditioner turn-on instruction.

[0051] The central electronic module CEM 140 is configured to obtain a charging gun connection state signal in response to the remote start instruction sent by the remote wireless terminal; control the power supply to be turned on according to the charging gun connection state signal, and control the vehicle controller to complete high-voltage power-on; send the signal that the power supply is turned on and the signal that the high-voltage power-on is completed to the remote wireless terminal; the charging gun connection state signal is used to indicate whether the vehicle is in a charging gun connected state.

[0052] The charging gun connection state signal can be obtained from the battery management system. Exemplarily, the charging gun connection state signal BMS_DCChrgConnect = 0x2: NO connected indicates that the vehicle is in a non-charging gun connected state, and the charging gun connection state signal BMS_DCChrgConnect = 0x1: connected indicates that the vehicle is in a charging gun connected state. The central electronic module 140 performs different operations according to different charging gun connection states to achieve power-on and high-voltage power-on.

[0053] In one example, the central electronic module CEM controls the power gear to be switched to the on (ON) gear to turn on the power supply, and the signal that the power supply is turned on can be the power ON gear signal.

[0054] The embodiment of the present invention provides a specific implementation manner for turning on the power gear when the vehicle is in a charging gun connected state and a non-charging gun connected state. For the implementation manner of the central electronic module 140, refer to the following text.

[0055] The remote wireless terminal 130 is further configured to control the air conditioner control system to turn on the air conditioner according to the power-on signal and the signal indicating the completion of high-voltage power-on.

[0056] In one example, the remote wireless terminal T-BOX 130 is specifically configured to control at least one of air purification, air temperature adjustment (cooling or heating), seat ventilation, seat ventilation temperature adjustment (cooling or heating), and steering wheel temperature adjustment (cooling or heating) of the air conditioner control system according to the power-on signal, the signal indicating the completion of high-voltage power-on, and the remote air conditioner turn-on instruction.

[0057] In the system for remotely turning on the vehicle air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the CEM identifies the vehicle's charging gun state, and the CEM performs different operations based on different charging gun state signals to turn on the power supply and complete high-voltage power-on, so that the T-BOX controls the air conditioner to turn on based on the power-on signal and the completion of high-voltage power-on, thereby realizing the remote turning on of the air conditioner even in the charging gun state.

[0058] In a possible implementation manner, the system further includes a vehicle control unit (abbreviated as VCU, or Hybrid Control Unit, abbreviated as HCU);

[0059] The central electronic module CEM 140 includes:

[0060] A first gear shifting unit, configured to turn on the power gear and send the power-on signal to the vehicle control unit when the charging gun state signal indicates that the vehicle is in the charging gun state, so that the vehicle control unit completes high-voltage power-on in response to the power-on signal.

[0061] The two preconditions for turning on the air conditioner are that the power gear is in the ON gear and high-voltage power-on is completed. When the vehicle is in the charging gun state, the vehicle cannot be directly started and cannot send a start request to the vehicle control unit. In this embodiment, the CEM directly turns on the power gear, and the vehicle control unit can automatically control the completion of high-voltage power-on in response to the power-on signal.

[0062] In one example, the power-on signal is syspowermod = ON, and the signal indicating the completion of high-voltage power-on is HCU_PowertrainSts = 0xC:ready. The T-BOX controls the air conditioner to turn on when syspowermod = ON and HCU_PowertrainSts = 0xC:ready.

[0063] In a possible implementation manner, the central electronic module CEM 140 includes:

[0064] The start application sending unit is used to send a start request to the vehicle control unit when the gun insertion state signal indicates that the vehicle is in the non-gun-inserted state, so that the vehicle control unit controls the motor to start and simultaneously controls the completion of high-voltage power-on.

[0065] As described above, the two preconditions for turning on the air conditioner are that the power gear is in the ON position and high-voltage power-on is completed. When the vehicle is in the non-gun-inserted state, the vehicle can be directly started, and the CEM sends a start request to the HCU / VCU. The HCU / VCU controls the vehicle to start and simultaneously completes high-voltage power-on.

[0066] The vehicle driving state signal acquisition unit is used to acquire the vehicle driving state signal under the high-voltage power-on state; the vehicle driving state signal is used to indicate whether the vehicle is in a state where it can be driven.

[0067] In one example, the vehicle driving state signal can be the Ready light state signal. When the Ready light state signal is HCU_RdyLmpSts = 0x1:OFF, it indicates that the vehicle is in a state where it cannot be driven; when the Ready light state signal is HCU_RdyLmpSts = 0x1:ON, it indicates that the vehicle is in a state where it can be driven.

[0068] The second gear switching unit is used to turn on the power gear when the vehicle driving state signal indicates that the vehicle is in a state where it can be driven.

[0069] In one example, the CEM sends the signal of turning on the power and the signal of completing high-voltage power-on to the T-BOX at the same time. The signal of turning on the power is syspowermod = ON, and the signal of completing high-voltage power-on is HCU_PowertrainSts = 0x5:run. The T-BOX controls the air conditioner to turn on when syspowermod = ON and HCU_PowertrainSts = 0x5:run.

[0070] In a possible implementation manner, the remote wireless terminal T-BOX is further used to send the signal of turning on the power and the signal of completing high-voltage power-on to the vehicle networking remote service platform through the remote wireless terminal,

[0071] so that the vehicle networking remote service platform feeds back a signal indicating successful air conditioner turning-on to the client.

[0072] In a possible implementation manner, the second gear switching unit is further used to turn off the power gear when the vehicle driving state signal indicates that the vehicle is in a state where it cannot be driven.

[0073] The feedback unit is further used to send the signal of turning off the power to the vehicle networking remote service platform through the remote wireless terminal, so that the vehicle networking remote service platform feeds back a signal indicating failed air conditioner turning-on to the client.

[0074] In a possible implementation, after remotely turning on the air conditioner in the state of plugging in the charging gun, the client 110 is further configured to send a remote air conditioner turn-off request to the vehicle networking remote service platform TSP120 in response to a user operation;

[0075] The vehicle networking remote service platform TSP120 is further configured to send a remote engine-off instruction to the central electronic module CEM140 through the remote wireless terminal T-BOX130 in response to the remote air conditioner turn-off request;

[0076] The central electronic module CEM140 is further configured to: in response to the remote engine-off instruction, turn off the power supply to power down the vehicle, and then turn off the air conditioner.

[0077] In an example, the central electronic module CEM controls the power gear to switch to the off (OFF) gear to turn off the power supply, and the signal for turning off the power supply can be the power OFF gear signal.

[0078] See Figure 2 , which is a flowchart of a method for remotely controlling a vehicle air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0079] S210. The client sends a remote air conditioner turn-on request to the vehicle networking remote service platform in response to a user operation.

[0085] S270. The remote wireless terminal controls the air conditioner control system to turn on the air conditioner according to the signal of turning on the power supply and the signal of completing high-voltage power-on.

[0086] The method for remotely turning on the vehicle air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention is that the CEM identifies the vehicle's gun-inserted state, and the CEM performs different operations based on different gun-inserted state signals to turn on the power supply and apply high-voltage power, enabling the T-BOX to control the air conditioner to turn on based on the power ON gear and high-voltage state, thereby realizing remotely turning on the air conditioner even in the gun-inserted state.

[0087] In a possible implementation, S250 includes:

[0088] When the gun-inserted state signal indicates that the vehicle is in the gun-inserted state, the Central Electronic Module turns on the power gear and sends the signal of turning on the power supply to the vehicle controller;

[0089] The vehicle controller controls the completion of high-voltage power-on in response to the signal of turning on the power supply.

[0090] In a possible implementation, S250 includes:

[0093] When in the high-voltage power-on state, the Central Electronic Module acquires the vehicle driving state signal; when the vehicle driving state signal indicates that the vehicle is in a drivable state, it turns on the power gear.

[0094] In a possible implementation, after the Central Electronic Module acquires the vehicle driving state signal, the method further includes:

[0095] When the vehicle driving state signal indicates that the vehicle is in a non-drivable state, the Central Electronic Module turns off the power gear; sends the signal of turning off the power supply to the remote wireless terminal;

[0096] The remote wireless terminal sends the signal of turning off the power supply to the vehicle networking remote service platform;

[0097] The vehicle networking remote service platform feeds back the signal of failed air conditioner startup to the client according to the signal of turning off the power supply.

[0098] In a possible implementation, after the remote wireless terminal remotely controls the air conditioner control system to remotely turn on the air conditioner, the method for turning off the air conditioner includes:

[0099] The client sends a remote air conditioner off request to the vehicle networking remote service platform in response to the user operation.

[0100] The vehicle networking remote service platform sends a remote engine-off instruction to the remote wireless terminal in response to the remote air conditioner off request of the client.

[0101] The remote wireless terminal sends a remote engine-off instruction to the central electronic module.

[0102] In response to the remote engine-off instruction sent by the remote wireless terminal, the central electronic module turns off the power to power off the vehicle and then turns off the air conditioner.

[0103] In a possible implementation, after the air conditioner control system is turned on according to the power-on signal, the method further includes:

[0104] The central electronic module sends the power-on signal and the high-voltage power-on completion signal to the vehicle networking remote service platform through the remote wireless terminal, so that the vehicle networking remote service platform sends a signal indicating successful air conditioner startup to the client.

[0105] See Figure 3 , which is a flowchart of a method for remotely controlling a vehicle air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0106] 1. The client sends a remote air conditioner startup request to the vehicle networking remote service platform in response to a user operation.

[0108] 3. The remote wireless terminal T-BOX sends a remote startup instruction to the central electronic module in response to the remote air conditioner startup instruction.

[0109] 4. In response to the remote startup instruction sent by the remote wireless terminal, the central electronic module CEM obtains a charging gun status signal and makes a judgment. When the vehicle is in the charging gun state, step 5.1 is executed; when the vehicle is in the non-charging gun state, step 5.2 is executed;
