[0037] This embodiment provides a vehicle towing reminder method operating on an electronic device. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle towing reminder method according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S10: With the vehicle powered off, acquire the working status of the vehicle's target sensors;

[0039] The operating status indicates whether the target sensor is in a dormant state.

[0040] The vehicle's power-off state can be understood as the vehicle's sleep state, such as when the engine is off, etc., and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. The vehicle's target sensor can be understood as a sensor used to detect the vehicle's towing signal, such as an IMU sensor in the vehicle, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] This step can be understood as acquiring the operating status of the vehicle's sensors used to detect vehicle towing signals while the vehicle is in a dormant state. The operating status indicates whether the target sensor is in a dormant state. For example, the operating status of the vehicle's IMU sensor can be acquired when the vehicle is in a dormant state, but this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

[0042] Understandably, since the vehicle does not need to send a towing reminder to the owner when it is running normally, the target sensor cannot enter a sleep state and cannot achieve the towing wake-up function. Therefore, when the vehicle is powered off, the working status of the vehicle's target sensor is obtained, so as to obtain the working status indicating whether the target sensor is in a sleep state in a timely manner when the vehicle is powered off.

[0043] Step S11: Determine the reminder method based on the work status;

[0044] The reminder methods include a first reminder method and a second reminder method. The first reminder method is determined based on a preset reminder strategy, and the second reminder method is determined based on the drag-and-wake function of the target sensor.

[0045] The reminder method can be understood as the specific way to issue a towing reminder, indicating that the vehicle is currently being towed. This step can be understood as determining the specific way to issue a towing reminder based on the working status of the target sensor, which indicates whether the sensor is in a dormant state.

[0046] The preset reminder strategy can be understood as a strategy used to remind the vehicle that it is being towed, and the drag wake-up function can be understood as a function in the target sensor used to monitor the vehicle dragging signal. That is, the first reminder method is determined based on the strategy used to remind the vehicle that it is being towed, and the second reminder method is determined based on the function in the target sensor used to monitor the vehicle dragging signal.

[0047] Step S12: Report the reminder information according to the reminder method.

[0048] The alert message indicates that the vehicle has been towed.

[0049] This step can be understood as reporting a reminder message indicating that the vehicle has been towed, depending on the specific method used to issue the towing reminder. Optionally, the reminder message can be sent to the user terminal via a communication network, thereby reporting the reminder message indicating that the vehicle has been towed; this embodiment of the invention is not limited to this.

[0050] Through the above steps, the working status of the vehicle's target sensors is acquired while the vehicle is powered off. The working status indicates whether the target sensors are in a dormant state. Based on the working status, a reminder method is determined. The reminder method includes a first reminder method and a second reminder method. The first reminder method is determined based on a preset reminder strategy, and the second reminder method is determined based on the drag-to-wake function of the target sensor. Reminder information is reported according to the reminder method. The reminder information indicates that the vehicle has been dragged. This method can cover a variety of real-world scenarios, is highly comprehensive, has low cost, and is easy to implement. It solves the technical problems of related technologies that use IMU sensors to implement vehicle dragging reminders, resulting in limited scenario coverage, low comprehensiveness, high cost, and difficulty in implementation.

[0051] Optionally, in step S11, determining the reminder method based on the working status may include the following execution steps:

[0052] Step S110: In response to the target sensor being in a sleep state, determine the first reminder method;

[0053] It is understandable that when the target sensor is in a sleep state, it means that the current target sensor is not working and cannot detect the vehicle towing signal normally. This step can be understood as determining the first alert method when the target sensor is in a sleep state, indicating that the current target sensor is not working and cannot detect the vehicle towing signal normally.

[0054] Step S111: In response to the target sensor not being in sleep mode, determine the second reminder method.

[0055] It is understandable that when the target sensor is not in a sleep state, it indicates that the current target sensor is working normally and can detect the vehicle towing signal normally. This step can be understood as determining the second reminder method when the target sensor is not in a sleep state, indicating that the current target sensor is working normally and can detect the vehicle towing signal normally.

[0056] Optionally, in step S110, reporting the reminder information according to the first reminder method may include the following execution steps:

[0057] Step S1100: Obtain vehicle speed information;

[0058] This step can be understood as follows: when the target sensor is in a dormant state, it means that the current target sensor cannot work and cannot detect the vehicle towing signal normally. After determining the first reminder method, the vehicle speed information is obtained.

[0059] Optionally, the vehicle's current speed information can be obtained using the vehicle's onboard positioning system, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the vehicle's current speed information can be obtained using the vehicle's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

[0060] Step S1101: In response to the speed information being greater than the first threshold, a reminder message is reported.

[0061] The first threshold can be understood as the minimum speed value used to trigger the target sensor drag alert function. That is, when the speed information is greater than this minimum speed value, the target sensor drag alert function is triggered. This step can be understood as follows: when the speed information is greater than the first threshold, it means that the speed information is greater than the minimum speed value to trigger the target sensor drag alert function, thus triggering the target sensor drag alert function and reporting the alert information.

[0062] Optionally, a first threshold can be set according to the actual application scenario, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first threshold can be set to 3 km / h. Then, when the speed information is greater than 3 km / h, the target sensor drag reminder function is triggered, and a reminder message is reported. This embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

[0063] Optionally, in step S110, reporting the reminder information according to the first reminder method may include the following execution steps:

[0064] Step S1102: Obtain the vehicle's first acceleration information and second acceleration information;

[0065] The first acceleration information is used to represent the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the first direction, and the second acceleration information is used to represent the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the second direction.

[0066] This step can be understood as, when reporting the reminder information according to the first reminder method, obtaining first acceleration information to represent the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the first direction, and obtaining second acceleration information to represent the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the second direction.

[0067] The first direction can be understood as the horizontal forward and backward direction of the current vehicle, and the second direction can be understood as the vertical up and down direction of the current vehicle. This step can be understood as obtaining the change in acceleration in the horizontal forward and backward direction of the vehicle, and obtaining the change in acceleration in the vertical up and down direction of the vehicle.

[0068] Step S1103: In response to the first acceleration information being greater than the second threshold, or in response to the second acceleration information being greater than the third threshold, a reminder message is reported.

[0069] The second threshold can be understood as the minimum change in acceleration of the vehicle in the horizontal forward and backward direction that triggers the drag reminder, and the third threshold can be understood as the minimum change in acceleration of the vehicle in the vertical up and down direction that triggers the drag reminder.

[0070] This step can be understood as follows: when the first acceleration information is greater than the second threshold, or in response to the second acceleration information being greater than the third threshold, it indicates that the current vehicle's horizontal forward and backward acceleration change is greater than the minimum horizontal forward and backward acceleration change of the vehicle that triggered the drag reminder, or the current vehicle's vertical up and down acceleration change is greater than the minimum vertical up and down acceleration change of the vehicle that triggered the drag reminder, thus triggering the target sensor drag reminder function and reporting the reminder information.

[0071] Optionally, the second and third thresholds can be set according to the actual application scenario, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second threshold can be set to 2.5 m / s. 2 The third threshold is set to -8.8 m / s. 2 Then, when the change in the vehicle's horizontal acceleration in the longitudinal direction is greater than 2.5 m / s², 2 Or when the change in the vehicle's vertical acceleration is greater than -8.8 m / s². 2When the target sensor drag reminder function is triggered, the reminder information is reported. This embodiment of the invention is not limited.

[0072] Through the above steps, when the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the horizontal forward and backward direction is greater than the minimum change in acceleration of the vehicle in the horizontal forward and backward direction that triggers the drag reminder, or when the change in acceleration of the vehicle in the vertical up and down direction is greater than the minimum change in acceleration of the vehicle in the vertical up and down direction that triggers the drag reminder, the target sensor drag reminder function is triggered and a reminder message is reported. This allows the system to cover scenarios where the vehicle's posture changes, such as when the vehicle is lifted to remove the tires, even when the vehicle is powered off.

[0073] Optionally, in step S110, reporting the reminder information according to the first reminder method may include the following execution steps:

[0074] Step S1104: Obtain the vehicle's first latitude and longitude information and second latitude and longitude information;

[0075] The first latitude and longitude information is the vehicle's latitude and longitude information at the first moment, which is the moment the vehicle is powered off. The second latitude and longitude information is used to represent the vehicle's current latitude and longitude information.

[0076] The first moment can be understood as the moment the vehicle is powered off. This step can be understood as obtaining the latitude and longitude information of the vehicle at the moment of power-off, as well as obtaining the current latitude and longitude information of the vehicle, when reporting the reminder information according to the first reminder method.

[0077] Step S1105: Determine the target distance based on the first latitude and longitude information and the second latitude and longitude information;

[0078] The target distance can be understood as the displacement distance of the vehicle from the moment it was powered off to the current moment.

[0079] Optionally, the first latitude and longitude information can be denoted as A(xA, yA), and the second latitude and longitude information can be denoted as B(xB, yB). The target distance D can then be calculated using a mathematical formula, as shown in the following formula (1):

[0080]

[0081] Thus, the displacement distance of the vehicle from the moment of power-off to the current moment is determined, i.e., the target distance is determined. This embodiment of the invention is not limited.

[0082] Step S1106: In response to the target distance being greater than the fourth threshold, an alert message is reported.

[0083] The fourth threshold can be understood as the minimum target distance used to trigger the drag reminder. That is, when the target distance is greater than the minimum target distance, it means that the displacement distance of the vehicle from the moment of power-off to the current moment is greater than the minimum target distance to trigger the drag reminder.

[0084] This step can be understood as follows: when the target distance is greater than the fourth threshold, that is, when the target distance is greater than the minimum target distance, it means that the displacement distance of the vehicle from the moment of power-off to the current moment is greater than the minimum target distance for triggering the drag reminder. At this time, the target sensor drag reminder function is triggered and the reminder information is reported, so that the reminder information can be reported when the vehicle undergoes a large displacement.

[0085] Optionally, in step S1104, obtaining the vehicle's first and second latitude and longitude information may include the following steps:

[0086] Step S1104a: Obtain first latitude and longitude information and second latitude and longitude information based on the global navigation satellite system or inertial navigation system.

[0087] This step can be understood as obtaining the latitude and longitude information of the vehicle at the moment of power-off, and obtaining the vehicle's current latitude and longitude information, and then obtaining the first latitude and longitude information and the second latitude and longitude information based on the global navigation satellite system or inertial navigation system.

[0088] Optionally, when the global navigation satellite system signal is normal, the first latitude and longitude information and the second latitude and longitude information can be obtained simultaneously through the global navigation satellite system or the inertial navigation system. When the global navigation satellite system signal is interrupted, the first latitude and longitude information and the second latitude and longitude information can be obtained through the vehicle's inertial navigation system. This embodiment of the invention is not limited.

[0089] Optionally, in step S111, reporting the reminder information according to the second reminder method may include the following execution steps:

[0090] Step S1110: In response to receiving drag information from the target sensor, a reminder message is reported.

[0091] This step can be understood as follows: when the target sensor is not in a dormant state, that is, when the target sensor is working normally and can detect the vehicle towing signal normally, when the towing information is received from the target sensor, a reminder message is directly reported.

[0092] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle towing reminder method according to one embodiment of the present invention, as follows: Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the specific implementation process of the above steps. Figure 2The vehicle drag-and-drop alert method first determines whether the vehicle is powered off. If the vehicle is not powered off, no drag-and-drop alert is needed (i.e., step S10). If the vehicle is powered off, it further determines whether the vehicle positioning terminal is in sleep mode. If the vehicle positioning terminal is not in sleep mode, the drag-and-drop wake-up function is triggered using the vehicle positioning system. If the vehicle positioning terminal is in sleep mode, the drag-and-drop alert function is triggered through the IMU wake-up mechanism (i.e., steps S11 to S12).

[0093] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes several instructions to cause a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in the various embodiments of the present invention.

As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
