[0093] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0094] In related technologies, the CCC specification provides a method for a vehicle owner's device to share a digital car key with a device to which it is to be shared, as described above. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0095] In step 100, the vehicle owner's device has been paired with the vehicle, and an end-to-end connection has been established between the vehicle owner's device and the device to be shared.

[0096] In step 101, the vehicle owner's device triggers a sharing invitation to share the digital car key.

[0097] In step 102, the vehicle owner's device sends a share creation request message for sharing the digital car key to the device to be shared.

[0098] In step 103, the device to be shared receives the share creation request message and performs the corresponding operation.

[0099] The corresponding operations include, but are not limited to, creating an endpoint and creating a certificate chain.

[0100] In step 104, the device to be shared sends a key signature request to the vehicle owner's device.

[0101] In step 105, the vehicle owner's device signs the data to be signed based on the key signature request.

[0102] In step 106, the vehicle owner device sends an import request to the device to be shared.

[0103] The import request is used to import signature data into the device to be shared.

[0104] In step 107, the digital car key becomes active on the device to be shared.

[0105] Subsequently, the device to be shared can establish a connection with the vehicle through the server corresponding to the device to be shared, the vehicle server, and the server corresponding to the owner's device, based on the valid digital car key.

[0106] In the above process, the digital car key can be used on the device to be shared. Both the device to be shared and the owner's device are terminal devices. However, the relevant technologies do not involve the implementation of using other devices besides terminal devices, such as wearable devices, as carriers of digital car keys. In order to solve the above technical problems, this disclosure provides the following method for sharing digital car keys.

[0107] The following section will first introduce the method for sharing digital car keys provided in this publication from the perspective of the terminal device.

[0108] Reference Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is described from the perspective of a terminal device, wherein the terminal device includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the method for sharing a digital car key may include the following steps:

[0109] In step 201, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0110] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0111] It should be noted that the terminal device can be either the vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared; this disclosure does not limit the choice. The vehicle owner's device refers to the terminal device used by the vehicle owner, while the device to be shared refers to a peer device that wishes to obtain a digital car key from the vehicle owner's device.

[0112] In step 202, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0113] In the above embodiments, digital car keys can be used on wearable devices, expanding the carrier for storing digital car keys, improving the portability of digital car keys, and making them more usable.

[0114] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 3A As shown, Figure 3A This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be a vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared. The method includes the following steps:

[0115] In step 301, a prompt message is output.

[0116] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the prompt message can be used to prompt the user of the terminal device to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or wearable device, for example... Figure 3B As shown.

[0117] In step 302, a first confirmation message is received to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device.

[0118] In step 303, based on the first confirmation information, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0119] The number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0120] In step 304, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0121] In the above embodiments, a prompt message can be output to allow the user of the terminal device to confirm whether the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or the wearable device. After the user confirms that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, the effective digital car key will be obtained on the target wearable device with the same account as the terminal device. This achieves the goal of making the digital car key effective on wearable devices, expands the carrier for storing the digital car key, improves the portability of the digital car key, and enhances its usability.

[0122] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be the device to be shared, i.e., a Friend device. The method includes the following steps:

[0123] In step 401, in response to receiving the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing the digital car key sent by the vehicle owner's device, the digital car key to be activated is generated, and a prompt message is output.

[0124] In this embodiment, the sharing device can receive the URL address through a Digital Key framework, and the Digital Key framework on the sharing device can generate a digital car key to be activated based on the URL address, and output a prompt message. This prompt message can be used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital car key is activated on the terminal device or wearable device, or similarly... Figure 3B As shown.

[0125] Upon receiving a first confirmation message confirming that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, the following steps 402 to 403 are executed. Upon receiving a second confirmation message confirming that the digital car key is effective on the device to be shared, the following step 404 is executed.

[0126] It should be noted that in this disclosure, the device to be shared receives the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing the digital car key sent by the vehicle owner's device through a built-in Digital Keyframework. The Digital Keyframework has the function of parsing URL addresses. Furthermore, after the Digital Keyframework completes the URL parsing and generates the digital car key to be activated, it outputs the aforementioned prompt information. This disclosure improves the security of smart car key sharing by sending the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address of the digital car key sent by the vehicle owner to the Digital Keyframework of the device to be shared. The Digital Keyframework then parses the URL and presents information to the user interface without containing the URL, avoiding the security risks of URL leakage caused by directly displaying the URL on the user interface.

[0127] In step 402, based on the first confirmation information, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0128] The number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0129] In step 403, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0130] In step 404, after receiving the second confirmation information, the digital car key that is to be activated is obtained on the device to be shared based on the digital car key to be activated.

[0131] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the device to be shared can be implemented according to relevant technologies, such as... Figure 1 The implementation of the scheme shows the digital car key that becomes effective on the device to be shared.

[0132] In the above embodiments, when the sharing device receives the URL address for sharing the digital car key sent by the car owner device, it can generate the digital car key to be activated and output the prompt message to remind the user to confirm that the digital car key is activated on the sharing device or wearable device. Then, according to the user's instructions, the activated digital car key can be obtained on the corresponding device. This expands the storage medium for the digital car key, is simple to implement, and has high usability.

[0133] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 5A As shown, Figure 5A This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be a vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared. The method includes the following steps:

[0134] In step 501, a list of alternative wearable devices is output.

[0135] In one possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes at least one candidate wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device, that is, all wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the terminal device are displayed in the list of candidate wearable devices.

[0136] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the terminal device and have already established a link with the terminal device. That is, wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the terminal device and have already established a link with the terminal device are displayed in the list of candidate wearable devices.

[0137] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices with the same account as the terminal device. Furthermore, the list also displays the connection status for each candidate wearable device. The connection status indicates whether a connection has been established between the terminal device and the candidate wearable device.

[0138] Optionally, linked candidate wearable devices can be displayed in the candidate wearable device list using one or more methods such as highlighting, larger font size, and sorting by priority. Unlinked candidate wearable devices can be displayed in the candidate wearable device list using one or more methods such as setting the device to a specified color (e.g., gray), smaller font size, and sorting by priority. Figure 5B As shown. In step 502, in response to receiving a device confirmation command, the candidate wearable device indicated by the device confirmation command is selected as the target wearable device.

[0139] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the user of the terminal device can select one or more alternative wearable devices from a list of alternative devices as the target wearable device where the digital car key is located. Based on a device confirmation command input by the user, the terminal device selects the alternative wearable device indicated by the device confirmation command as the target wearable device.

[0140] In step 503, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0141] In the above embodiments, the user can select the target wearable device from the list of alternative wearable devices, thereby enabling the digital car key to function on the wearable device, expanding the carrier for storing the digital car key, improving the portability of the digital car key, and making it more usable.

[0142] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be a vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared. The method includes the following steps:

[0143] In step 601, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0144] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0145] In step 602, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link.

[0146] In one possible implementation, if the terminal device and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the terminal device can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0147] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0148] In another possible implementation, the chip in the target wearable device could refer to an SE (Secure Element) to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0149] In the above embodiments, the terminal device can send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the link established with the target wearable device, so that the digital car key can be activated on the target wearable device. This expands the carrier for storing digital car keys, improves the portability of digital car keys, and enhances security.

[0150] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be a vehicle owner's device or a device to be shared. The method includes the following steps:

[0151] In step 701, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0152] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the number of target wearable devices can be one or more, and this disclosure does not limit this. In addition, the target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the terminal device. Among them, the target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0153] In step 702, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device.

[0154] In step 703, specified information is stored before the digital car key becomes effective on the target wearable device.

[0155] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the specified information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the status information and / or configuration information corresponding to the digital car key.

[0156] In the above embodiments, the terminal device can be used as a device to store specified information, saving the resources of the wearable device in the process of obtaining a valid digital car key on the wearable device, which is simple and highly usable.

[0157] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which can be the device to be shared, i.e., a Friend device. The method includes the following steps:

[0158] In step 801, the vehicle owner's device sends a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing the digital car key.

[0159] Among them, the vehicle owner's terminal device is the terminal device used by the vehicle owner, including but not limited to mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, etc.

[0160] In step 802, the digital key framework of the device to be shared generates the digital car key to be activated based on the URL address.

[0161] In this embodiment, the device to be shared receives a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing a digital car key from the vehicle owner's device via a built-in Digital Keyframework. The Digital Keyframework has the function of parsing URL addresses. Furthermore, after the Digital Keyframework completes the URL parsing, it generates a digital car key to be activated. This disclosure improves the security of smart car key sharing by sending the URL address of the digital car key sent by the vehicle owner to the Digital Keyframework of the device to be shared. The Digital Keyframework then parses the URL and presents information to the user interface without containing the URL, avoiding the security risks of URL leakage caused by directly displaying the URL on the user interface.

[0162] In step 803, a prompt message is output.

[0163] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the prompt message is used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the terminal device or wearable device.

[0164] In step 804, in response to receiving first confirmation information to confirm that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

[0165] The target wearable device is a wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the device to be shared. Target wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices.

[0166] In one possible implementation, upon receiving the URL address and generating the digital car key to be activated through the digital key framework, a prompt message can be output, and after receiving a first confirmation message to confirm that the digital car key is activated on the wearable device, the target wearable device can be identified.

[0167] In another possible implementation, a list of alternative wearable devices can be output, from which the user selects the target wearable device.

[0168] In step 805, the digital car key to be activated is sent to the target wearable device so that the digital car key becomes active on the target wearable device.

[0169] In one possible implementation, if the terminal device and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the terminal device can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0170] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0171] In another possible implementation, the chip of the target wearable device can be designated SE in order to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0172] In the above embodiments, after receiving the URL address for sharing the digital car key sent by the car owner device, the sharing device can send the digital car key to be activated to the target wearable device, thereby obtaining the activated digital car key on the target wearable device with the same account as the sharing device. This achieves the purpose of making the digital car key effective on the wearable device, expands the carrier for storing the digital car key, improves the portability of the digital car key, and makes it more usable.

[0173] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which is the device to be shared, i.e., a Friend device. The method includes the following steps:

[0174] In step 901, the vehicle owner's device sends a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing the digital car key.

[0175] The vehicle owner's device refers to the terminal device used by the vehicle owner, including but not limited to mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, etc. The device to be shared can receive the URL address through an end-to-end connection with the vehicle owner's device.

[0176] In step 902, the digital key framework of the device to be shared generates the digital car key to be activated based on the URL address.

[0177] In this embodiment, the device to be shared receives a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing a digital car key from the vehicle owner's device via a built-in Digital Keyframework. The Digital Keyframework has the function of parsing URL addresses. Furthermore, after the Digital Keyframework completes the URL parsing, it generates a digital car key to be activated. This disclosure improves the security of smart car key sharing by sending the URL address of the digital car key sent by the vehicle owner to the Digital Keyframework of the device to be shared. The Digital Keyframework then parses the URL and presents information to the user interface without containing the URL, avoiding the security risks of URL leakage caused by directly displaying the URL on the user interface.

[0178] In step 903, the target wearable device where the effective digital car key is located is determined.

The secure link may include, but is not limited to, a secure link established in a specified manner, which may be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit the specific method.

[0189] In step 906, the data to be signed is sent to the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0190] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the device to be shared can send the data to be signed to the vehicle owner device through an end-to-end connection with the vehicle owner device.

[0191] In step 907, the signature data sent by the vehicle owner's terminal device is received.

[0192] The signature data is the data corresponding to the digital car key after being confirmed by the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0193] In step 908, the signature data is sent to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link, and the chip obtains the valid digital car key based on the signature data.

[0194] The link can be a secure link to enhance the security of the digital car key transmission process. This secure link includes, but is not limited to, secure links established using a specified method, such as Bluetooth pairing or other methods, which are not limited in this disclosure. The chip in the target wearable device can refer to an SE (Secure Element) to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0195] In the above embodiments, the device to be shared can interact between the target wearable device and the vehicle owner's device, thereby achieving the purpose of obtaining a valid digital car key on the target wearable device. This expands the carrier for storing digital car keys, improves the portability of digital car keys, and makes them more usable.

This expands the carrier for storing the digital car key, improves the portability of the digital car key, and makes it more usable.

[0216] Next, we will introduce the method for sharing digital car keys provided in this publication from the perspective of wearable devices.

[0217] Reference Figure 12 As shown, Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key. This embodiment is described from the perspective of a wearable device, wherein the wearable device includes, but is not limited to, smartwatches, smart bracelets, and other wearable or tactile devices. Figure 12 As shown, the method for sharing a digital car key may include the following steps:

[0218] In step 1201, a digital car key awaiting activation is received from a terminal device with the same account as the wearable device.

[0219] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the terminal device may be a vehicle owner's terminal device or a terminal device to be shared. This disclosure does not limit the type of device. Specifically, the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, etc.

[0220] In step 1202, an effective digital car key is obtained based on the digital car key to be activated.

[0221] In the above embodiments, digital car keys can be used on wearable devices, expanding the carrier for storing digital car keys, improving the portability of digital car keys, and making them more usable.

[0222] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 13 As shown, Figure 13 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key, which is applied to a wearable device and includes the following steps:

[0223] In step 1301, a digital car key awaiting activation is received from a sharing terminal device with the same account as the wearable device.

[0224] In step 1302, the unsigned data on the chip of the wearable device is sent to the device to be shared via the established link with the device to be shared.

[0225] The data to be signed is data corresponding to the digital car key that has not been confirmed by the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0226] In one possible implementation, if the device to be shared and the wearable device have not established a connection, the device to be shared can establish a connection with the wearable device, and then the wearable device will send the data to be signed to the device to be shared through the connection.

[0227] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0228] In another possible implementation, the wearable device's chip could be designated SE to protect the digital car key active on the wearable device.

[0229] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after receiving the data to be signed, the sharing device can send the data to be signed to the vehicle owner device for signing through an end-to-end connection with the vehicle owner device.

[0230] In step 1303, the signature data sent by the device to be shared is received through the established link with the device to be shared.

[0231] The signature data is data corresponding to the digital car key, confirmed by the vehicle owner's device. In this embodiment, the vehicle owner's device sends the signature data to the sharing device, which then sends it to the wearable device.

[0232] In step 1304, a valid digital car key is obtained based on the signature data.

[0233] In the above embodiments, the digital car key can be made effective on the wearable device, expanding the carrier for storing the digital car key, improving the portability of the digital car key, and providing high security.

[0234] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key, which is applied to a wearable device and includes the following steps:

[0235] In step 1401, a digital car key awaiting activation is received from the vehicle owner's device, which has the same account as the wearable device.

[0236] In step 1402, the data to be signed on the chip of the wearable device is sent to the vehicle owner's terminal device through the established link.

[0237] The data to be signed is data corresponding to the digital car key that has not been confirmed by the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0238] In one possible implementation, if the vehicle owner's device and the wearable device do not establish a connection, the vehicle owner's device can establish a connection with the wearable device, and then the wearable device can send the data to be signed to the vehicle owner's device through the connection for signing.

[0243] In the above embodiments, the process of sharing a digital car key with a target wearable device can be achieved offline, which expands the carrier for storing digital car keys, improves the portability of digital car keys, and enhances security.

[0244] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a method for sharing a digital car key, including the following steps:

[0245] In step 1501, the vehicle owner device sends a URL address for sharing the digital car key to the device to be shared.

[0246] In step 1502, the device to be shared generates the digital car key to be activated in response to receiving the URL address.

[0247] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the device to be shared receives a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for sharing a digital car key sent by the vehicle owner's device through a built-in Digital Keyframework. The Digital Keyframework has the function of parsing URL addresses.

[0248] This disclosure improves the security of smart car key sharing by sending the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address of the digital car key sent by the car owner to the digital key framework of the device to be shared. After the digital key framework parses the URL, the information presented to the user interface does not contain the URL. This avoids the security risk of URL leakage caused by directly presenting the URL on the user interface.

[0249] In step 1503, the device to be shared outputs a prompt message.

[0250] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the digital key framework completes the parsing of the URL and generates a digital car key to be activated, the prompt information can be output. The prompt information is used to prompt the user to confirm that the digital car key is activated on the terminal device or wearable device. If the sharing terminal device receives first confirmation information confirming that the digital car key is activated on the wearable device, steps 1504 to 1512 are executed. If a second confirmation information confirming that the digital car key is activated on the sharing terminal device is received, step 1513 is executed.

[0251] In step 1504, the device to be shared outputs a list of alternative wearable devices.

[0252] In one possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes at least one candidate wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the device to be shared, that is, all wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the device to be shared are displayed in the list of candidate wearable devices.

[0253] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the device to be shared and have already established a link with the device to be shared. Wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the device to be shared and have already established a link with the device to be shared are displayed in the list of candidate wearable devices.

[0254] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices with the same account as the terminal device to be shared. Furthermore, the list also displays the connection status for each candidate wearable device. The connection status indicates whether a connection has been established between the terminal device and the candidate wearable device.

[0255] In step 1505, the device to be shared responds to receiving the device confirmation instruction by selecting the alternative wearable device indicated by the device confirmation instruction as the target wearable device.

[0256] In step 1506, the device to be shared sends the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link with the target wearable device.

[0257] In one possible implementation, if the device to be shared and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the device to be shared can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0258] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0259] In another possible implementation, the chip of the target wearable device can be designated SE in order to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0260] In step 1507, the target wearable device sends the data to be signed on its chip to the end device to be shared via the established link between the target wearable device and the end device to be shared.

[0261] The data to be signed is data corresponding to the digital car key that has not been confirmed by the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0262] In step 1508, the device to be shared sends the data to be signed to the vehicle owner device.

[0263] In step 1509, the vehicle owner's device sends the signature data to the device to be shared.

[0264] The signature data is the data corresponding to the digital car key after being confirmed by the vehicle owner's terminal device.

[0265] In step 1510, the device to be shared sends the signature data to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link with the target wearable device.

[0266] In step 1511, the target wearable device's chip obtains the effective digital car key based on the signature data.

[0267] In step 1512, the device to be shared stores specified information before the digital car key becomes effective on the target wearable device.

[0268] The specified information includes status information and / or configuration information corresponding to the digital car key.

[0269] In step 1513, after receiving the second confirmation information, the device to be shared obtains the activated digital car key on the device to be shared based on the digital car key to be activated.

[0270] In the above embodiments, the device to be shared or the target wearable device corresponding to the device to be shared can be flexibly selected as the carrier of the digital car key, which expands the carriers for storing digital car keys, improves the portability of digital car keys, and makes them more usable.

[0272] In step 1601, a prompt message is output.

[0273] The prompt message is used to remind the user to confirm that the digital car key is active on the terminal device or wearable device.

[0274] In one possible implementation, the vehicle owner's device has an interface corresponding to the digital car key, which the user can call as needed to trigger the output of the prompt message.

[0275] In another possible implementation, the vehicle owner's device can output the notification message after detecting that a wearable device has established a connection with it.

[0276] The above is merely an illustrative example, and any solution that can trigger the vehicle owner's device to output this prompt message should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0277] If the vehicle owner's device receives a first confirmation message confirming that the digital car key is effective on the wearable device, the following steps 1602 to 1608 are executed. If a second confirmation message confirming that the digital car key is effective on the vehicle owner's device is received, the process ends since the digital car key is already effective on the vehicle owner's device.

[0278] In step 1602, the vehicle owner's device outputs a list of alternative wearable devices.

[0279] In one possible implementation, the list of alternative wearable devices includes at least one alternative wearable device that corresponds to the same account as the vehicle owner's device, that is, all wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the vehicle owner's device are displayed in the list of alternative wearable devices.

[0280] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the vehicle owner's device and have already established a connection with the vehicle owner's device. That is, wearable devices that correspond to the same account as the vehicle owner's device and have already established a connection with the vehicle owner's device are displayed in the list of candidate wearable devices.

[0281] In another possible implementation, the list of candidate wearable devices includes candidate wearable devices with the same account as the vehicle owner's device. Furthermore, the list also displays the connection status of each candidate wearable device. The connection status indicates whether a connection has been established between the vehicle owner's device and the candidate wearable device.

[0282] In step 1603, the vehicle owner device responds to receiving a device confirmation command by selecting the alternative wearable device indicated by the device confirmation command as the target wearable device.

[0283] In step 1604, the vehicle owner device sends the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link with the target wearable device.

[0284] In one possible implementation, if the vehicle owner's device and the target wearable device have not yet established a connection, the vehicle owner's device can first establish a connection with the target wearable device, and then send the digital car key to be activated to the chip of the target wearable device through the connection.

[0285] In another possible implementation, the link can be a secure link to improve the security of the digital car key transmission process. The secure link includes, but is not limited to, a secure link established based on a specified method, which can be a Bluetooth pairing method or other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this method.

[0286] In another possible implementation, the chip of the target wearable device can be designated SE in order to protect the digital car key active on the target wearable device.

[0287] In step 1605, the target wearable device sends the data to be signed on its chip to the vehicle owner device through the established link with the vehicle owner device.

[0288] In step 1606, the vehicle owner device sends the signature data to the chip of the target wearable device through the established link with the target wearable device.

[0289] In step 1607, the target wearable device's chip obtains the effective digital car key based on the signature data.

[0290] In step 1608, the vehicle owner's device stores specified information before the digital car key becomes effective on the target wearable device.

[0291] The specified information includes status information and / or configuration information corresponding to the digital car key.
