[0056] N43. Based on the optimal fusion control function J, obtain the optimal vehicle control data information.

[0057] Among them, the functions of the mobile terminal are divided into two parts. One is to send control instructions to the vehicle end. The required control functions of the mobile terminal are set according to the pre-established mobile terminal control protocol, and the application interface is developed by the mobile terminal developers. Through the vehicle control interface on the mobile terminal, the manipulation instructions are sent, and the basic control functions including vehicle steering, throttle, brake, and gear are realized. After touching on the mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet, the instructions will be uploaded to the cloud platform as field information. The other is to obtain the chassis information transmitted from the vehicle end, including the vehicle number information. According to the different ID information of different vehicles, the identification of each vehicle is completed, and different vehicles are controlled separately. Moreover, the current state of the vehicle can be obtained from the chassis data, whether the vehicle is controllable is judged, and the judgment result is displayed to select to control a certain vehicle.

[0058] Embodiment 2: On the basis of a control method for an autonomous driving vehicle APP and a cloud platform in Embodiment 1, the present invention will be further described and illustrated below.

[0059] Such as Figure 2As described above, the present invention also provides an automatic driving vehicle APP and a cloud platform control system, and the system includes:

[0060] A vehicle chassis gateway for obtaining vehicle status data information and vehicle ID data information;

[0061] A controller, connected to the vehicle chassis gateway, for transmitting vehicle status data information and vehicle ID information and issuing vehicle control data information;

[0062] A cloud platform, connected to the controller, for processing vehicle status data information and issuing vehicle control data information;

[0066] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is any one of a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0067] Among them, the mobile terminal, that is, the mobile phone or the tablet, will use the APP for control. The APP will meet two tasks. One is to issue predetermined control instructions according to the control protocol. The basic function controls such as steering, gear, throttle, and brake will be completed through the manipulation functions on the APP interface. Other function requirements such as vehicle lights, parking, and horn can also be completed according to needs. The control instructions will be continuously and stably sent to the cloud platform. At this time, in the fields being sent, the function being controlled will change continuously, while other functions will set default values to ensure control safety. And during the control process, appropriate safety policies will be added to increase the safety during the use of the APP. The second is to receive vehicle information, which mainly includes whether the vehicle is in a controlled state and the current controllable vehicle controller number ID. First, the APP will judge whether the vehicle is in a controlled state, and distinguish all controllable vehicles through different controllers to complete the reception and processing of vehicle information.

[0068] During the use of the mobile device, the APP will receive vehicle information transmitted from the cloud platform, determine whether the vehicle is controllable and the vehicle number ID, list all controllable vehicles for display, and let the user select the vehicle to be controlled. When entering the APP, all controllable vehicles can be seen first. After selecting one vehicle for takeover, the vehicle will be in a controlled state, and a control interface will appear on the APP. The actual vehicle can be moved and controlled through virtual buttons. After the remote control is completed, the control will be exited, and the vehicle will return to the controllable state and appear in the list of controllable vehicles.

[0069] To achieve the above and other related purposes, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored that is programmed or configured to execute any one of the described control methods for the autonomous vehicle APP and the cloud platform.
