Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of intelligent control, and more specifically, to a vehicle status indication method and device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, remote door lock technology has become very common in the automotive field, and most models on the market now have this function. The working principle is that the owner presses a button on the key, the key sends a signal, the car's antenna receives the radio wave signal, and after verification by the vehicle's electronic module, the locking or unlocking action is achieved, thus opening or closing the car door.

[0003] Current monitoring of locked vehicle status has some shortcomings. For example, the actual locking result is not verified; and after the doors are locked, it is not checked whether the vehicle is turned off. Leaving an unlocked vehicle parked for an extended period may result in the loss of property; leaving an unlocked vehicle parked for a long time can lead to incomplete combustion of gasoline, increasing carbon buildup, resulting in increased fuel consumption and reduced power, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, the relevant technology suffers from insufficient monitoring of locked vehicle status, leading to safety hazards when the vehicle is parked.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that insufficient monitoring of the vehicle's locking status in related technologies leads to safety hazards when the vehicle is parked. Summary of the Invention

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle status prompting method is provided, comprising: determining whether a target vehicle in a target area is in a parked state; if the target vehicle is in a parked state, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs a target operation; if the target vehicle is not detected to perform the target operation within a preset time period, sending a first prompting message, wherein the first prompting message is used to prompt that the target vehicle is in an unlocked state.

[0007] In an exemplary embodiment, determining whether a target vehicle in a target area is in a parked state includes: determining whether a target object exists at a target location in the target vehicle; if the target object does not exist at the target location, determining whether the door of the target vehicle is closed; and if the door of the target vehicle is closed, determining that the target vehicle is in a parked state.

[0008] In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs a target operation includes: monitoring whether the target vehicle's headlights are flashing; if the target vehicle's headlights are flashing, acquiring a target flashing frequency and / or a target flashing time corresponding to the headlight flashing; comparing the target flashing frequency and / or the target flashing time with a preset flashing frequency and / or a preset flashing time, wherein the preset flashing frequency and the preset flashing time are determined according to the model of the target vehicle; if the target flashing frequency and the preset flashing frequency are the same, and / or the target flashing time is the same as the preset flashing time, determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs the target operation further includes: monitoring whether the target vehicle emits a target prompt tone; and if the target vehicle emits the target prompt tone, determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0010] In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs a target operation further includes: determining a preset state of the rearview mirror of the target vehicle after performing the target operation based on the model of the target vehicle; acquiring a target state of the rearview mirror of the target vehicle; and determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation if the target state and the preset state are the same.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment, after determining whether the target vehicle in the target area is in a parked state, the method further includes: if the target vehicle is in the parked state, monitoring whether the target vehicle is in a turned-off state; if the target vehicle is not in a turned-off state, sending a second prompt message, wherein the second prompt message is used to prompt that the target vehicle is not in the turned-off state.

[0012] In one exemplary embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle is in the off state includes at least one of the following: determining that the target vehicle is not in the off state when the headlights of the target vehicle remain on for a period exceeding a preset time threshold; determining that the target vehicle is not in the off state when the sound of the engine of the target vehicle is detected; determining that the target vehicle is not in the off state when the temperature of the target vehicle does not drop to the current ambient temperature.

[0013] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle status prompting device is also provided, comprising: a judgment module for judging whether a target vehicle in a target area is in a parked state; a monitoring module for monitoring whether the target vehicle performs a target operation when the target vehicle is in a parked state; and a sending module for sending a first prompting message when the target vehicle is not detected to perform the target operation within a preset time period, wherein the first prompting message is used to prompt that the target vehicle is in an unlocked state.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0025] The methods and embodiments provided in this application can be executed on a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the mobile terminal hardware structure of the vehicle status prompting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. The mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal described above. For example, the mobile terminal may also include components that are more... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown.

[0026] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the vehicle status prompting method in this embodiment of the invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the above-described method. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0027] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communication provider. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0028] This embodiment provides a vehicle status indication method. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle status prompting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S202: Determine whether the target vehicle in the target area is in a parked state;

[0030] Step S204: When the target vehicle is in a parked state, monitor whether the target vehicle performs the target operation;

[0031] Step S206: If the target vehicle is not detected to perform the target operation within a preset time period, a first prompt message is sent, wherein the first prompt message is used to indicate that the target vehicle is unlocked.

[0032] In this embodiment, the entity performing the above steps is a monitoring device used to monitor vehicles in the target area. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the target area according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, taking a parking lot as an example, the target area is divided into multiple parking spaces. After a vehicle enters an empty parking space in the target area, it is determined whether the vehicle (target vehicle) is in a parked state. It should be noted that the target vehicle being in a parked state means that there are no drivers or passengers in the target vehicle, and all doors are closed. Multiple monitoring devices can be included in the target area to monitor sub-areas within the target area.

[0033] Optionally, the target area can be a parking lot, underground garage, or both sides of a road.

[0034] After determining that the target vehicle is in a parked state, the system begins to detect whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation and triggers a timer to start counting.

[0035] When the target vehicle is parked, the monitoring equipment detects whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation. The target operation refers to whether the target vehicle has performed the locking operation. If the target vehicle has not performed the locking operation after it has stopped, the target vehicle is in an unlocked state because the target operation has not been performed, that is, the doors of the target vehicle are in a state that can be opened at will.

[0036] If no target vehicle is detected performing the target operation within the preset time period, it means that the driver of the target vehicle did not perform the target operation after leaving the vehicle. At this time, the target vehicle is unoccupied and unlocked, posing a risk of theft if a stranger opens the door. Therefore, if no target vehicle is detected performing the target operation within the preset time period, a first prompt message is sent to the user to inform the owner or staff of the target vehicle that the vehicle is unlocked. After receiving the first prompt message, the owner can know that they have not locked the vehicle and return to the target area in time to make the target vehicle perform the target operation.

[0037] Through the above steps, by monitoring whether the target vehicle performs the target operation while it is parked, and if no target operation is detected within a preset time period, a first prompt message is sent to indicate that the target vehicle is still unlocked. This can prompt the owner of the target vehicle to lock the vehicle in a short time, thus protecting the safety of the property inside the target vehicle. This solves the problem of vehicle safety hazards in related technologies and achieves the effect of reducing vehicle safety hazards.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, determining whether a target vehicle in the target area is in a parked state includes: determining whether a target object exists at a target location in the target vehicle; if the target object does not exist at the target location, determining whether the door of the target vehicle is closed; and if the door of the target vehicle is closed, determining that the target vehicle is in a parked state.

[0039] In this embodiment, the system determines whether the target vehicle in the target area is parked by judging whether there is a target object in the target vehicle and whether the door of the target vehicle is closed.

[0040] Optionally, first determine if there is a target object at the target location in the target vehicle. If there is no target object at the target location in the target vehicle, it means that all the people in the target vehicle have left the vehicle. Further determine if the doors of the target vehicle are closed. If the doors are closed, then it is confirmed that the target vehicle is parked.

[0041] If there is no target object at the target location in the target vehicle, and it is determined that the target vehicle door is in an open state, the first duration of the target vehicle door being in an open state is counted. If the first duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold, it means that the target object may have forgotten to close the door when getting out of the vehicle, and a third prompt message is issued to remind the target vehicle door that it is not closed.

[0042] The target location mentioned above can be the driver's seat, the front passenger seat, or the back seat of the vehicle. The target object mentioned above can be the driver, or the driver and passengers.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs the target operation includes: monitoring whether the target vehicle's headlights are flashing; if the target vehicle's headlights are flashing, acquiring the target flashing frequency and / or target flashing time corresponding to the headlight flashing; comparing the target flashing frequency and / or target flashing time with a preset flashing frequency and / or preset flashing time, wherein the preset flashing frequency and preset flashing time are determined according to the model of the target vehicle; if the target flashing frequency and the preset flashing frequency are the same, and / or the target flashing time is the same as the preset flashing time, determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the determination of whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation is based on certain phenomena observed during the execution of the target operation. After locking the vehicle, it typically emits a target prompt tone and its headlights flash. The target prompt tone is emitted after the vehicle enters the locked state, indicating that locking is complete. Similarly, the headlights flash to indicate that locking is complete. Therefore, the execution of the target operation is monitored by observing whether the target vehicle's headlights flash or whether it emits the target prompt tone.

[0045] Monitoring whether the target vehicle's headlights are flashing is not limited to situations where the vehicle has performed the target operation. In some cases, such as when the vehicle's hazard lights are turned on, the flashing time and frequency will vary depending on the situation. Therefore, simply detecting flashing headlights does not necessarily mean that the target vehicle has performed the target operation. Thus, it is necessary to further determine whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation based on the flashing frequency and duration.

[0046] When the headlights of a target vehicle are detected to be flashing, the target flashing frequency and / or target flashing time of the headlights are obtained. The target flashing frequency is compared with a preset flashing frequency, and / or the target flashing time is compared with a preset flashing time. If the target flashing frequency and the preset flashing frequency are the same, and / or the target flashing time is compared with the preset flashing time, it is determined that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0047] It should be noted that the flashing frequency and flashing time of the headlights used to indicate that the vehicle has performed the target operation are different for different vehicle models. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the corresponding preset flashing frequency and / or preset flashing time according to the model of the target vehicle.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs the target operation further includes: monitoring whether the target vehicle emits a target prompt tone; and if the target vehicle emits the target prompt tone, determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the vehicle performs a locking operation, the vehicle emits a target prompt tone after entering the locked state to indicate that the vehicle has been locked. Therefore, by monitoring whether the target vehicle emits the target prompt tone, it is determined that the target vehicle has performed the target operation when the target vehicle emits the target prompt tone.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle performs the target operation further includes: determining a preset state of the rearview mirror of the target vehicle after performing the target operation based on the model of the target vehicle; obtaining a target state of the rearview mirror of the target vehicle; and determining that the target vehicle has performed the target operation if the target state and the preset state are the same.

[0051] In this embodiment, some vehicle models will fold the rearview mirrors after the vehicle is locked. Therefore, in addition to determining whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation by whether the vehicle emits a target prompt sound or whether the vehicle headlights flash, the folding state of the target vehicle's rearview mirrors can also be monitored to help determine whether the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0052] The state of the rearview mirrors may differ after the target operation is performed on different vehicle models. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the preset state corresponding to the target vehicle model. For example, some vehicle models will fold the rearview mirrors after the target operation is performed, but some vehicle models will not fold the rearview mirrors.

[0053] If the target state and the preset state are the same, it is determined that the target vehicle has performed the target operation.

[0054] It should be noted that the preset state of the target vehicle refers to the rearview mirrors being folded after the target operation is performed.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, after determining whether the target vehicle in the target area is in a parked state, the method further includes: if the target vehicle is in the parked state, monitoring whether the target vehicle is in a turned-off state; if the target vehicle is not in a turned-off state, sending a second prompt message, wherein the second prompt message is used to prompt that the target vehicle is not in the turned-off state.

[0056] In this embodiment, in addition to monitoring whether the target vehicle has been locked, the system also monitors whether the target vehicle has been turned off. When the target vehicle is parked, the system begins monitoring whether the target vehicle has been turned off. If the target vehicle is not turned off, a second notification message is sent to indicate that the target vehicle has not been turned off.

[0057] This embodiment ensures that the target vehicle is turned off after parking, preventing the vehicle from idling for extended periods due to forgetting to turn off the engine. This can lead to incomplete combustion of gasoline, increased carbon buildup, higher fuel consumption, and reduced power, thus reducing potential vehicle safety hazards.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, monitoring whether the target vehicle is in the off state includes at least one of the following:

[0059] If the headlights of the target vehicle remain on for a period exceeding a preset time threshold, it is determined that the target vehicle is not in the off state; if the sound of the engine of the target vehicle is detected, it is determined that the target vehicle is not in the off state; if the temperature of the target vehicle does not drop to the current ambient temperature, it is determined that the target vehicle is not in the off state.

[0060] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the target vehicle is in a turned-off state by the vehicle lights, engine operating status, or vehicle temperature.

[0061] If the headlights of the target vehicle are constantly on, that is, the headlights of the target vehicle remain on for a period of time exceeding a preset time threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is still not turned off, that is, it is determined that the target vehicle is not in the state of being turned off.

[0062] If the engine of the target vehicle is still running, it is determined that the target vehicle is not in the off state. The engine of the target vehicle is determined to be running by monitoring the sound of the engine. If the sound of the engine of the target vehicle is detected, it is determined that the vehicle is still running. If the sound of the engine of the target vehicle is not detected, it is determined that the vehicle is off.

[0063] Determine whether the temperature of the target vehicle has dropped to the ambient temperature. If the temperature of the target vehicle has not dropped to the current ambient temperature, determine that the target vehicle is not in a turned-off state.

[0064] It should be noted that the temperature of the target vehicle can be obtained from the infrared temperature sensor on the monitoring equipment.

[0065] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0066] The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments:

[0067] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle status prompt system according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the system includes front-end monitoring equipment, back-end, and client.

[0068] Among them, the front-end monitoring equipment monitors the correspondence between parking spaces and parked vehicles, and performs functions such as parking judgment, locking / unlocking vehicle status recognition, and information transmission. When a vehicle is judged to be parked, the vehicle status information is identified. When the vehicle is judged to be not turned off / unlocked, a prompt message is sent. The prompt message is transmitted together with the vehicle information and parking space information to the back-end platform for storage. The prompt message includes at least one of the following: first prompt message, second prompt message, and third prompt message.

[0069] The backend platform will synchronize the associated vehicle information and parking space information with the client (car owner) so that the car owner can proceed with the next steps.

[0070] It should be noted that the front-end monitoring device can also notify the vehicle owner that the vehicle is not locked / turned off via its built-in speaker.

[0071] Figure 5 This is an overall flowchart of the vehicle status prompt according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown,

[0072] Step 502: Determine whether the vehicle has parked in an empty parking space in the target area. The front-end monitoring device divides the target area into multiple parking spaces.

[0073] Step 504: The front-end monitoring equipment monitors the parking status of the target vehicle;

[0074] Once a vehicle is parked in an empty parking space, the front-end monitoring equipment acquires information such as the vehicle's license plate, brand, and model, and begins to determine whether the driver has parked. The front-end monitoring equipment monitors whether the driver has left the driver's seat and closed the door. If the driver has left the driver's seat and closed the door, it is determined that the driver has parked; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle has not parked.

[0075] Step 506: Determine whether the target vehicle is in a parked state. If the target vehicle is in a parked state, proceed to step 508. If the target vehicle is not in a parked state, proceed to step 504.

[0076] Step 508: The front-end monitoring equipment monitors the status of the target vehicle;

[0077] After the car owner parks, a time threshold is set (corresponding to a preset time period). Within this time threshold, if the parked vehicle's lights flash, the front-end monitoring device compares the flashing frequency and duration with the flashing frequency and duration of the lights when the corresponding vehicle brand and model is locked to determine if the vehicle is locked. If the flashing frequency and duration are the same, the vehicle is considered locked; otherwise, it is considered unlocked. The following phenomena can also be used to assist in the judgment: the front-end monitoring device monitors the vehicle's locking prompt sound via a microphone; the front-end monitoring device monitors whether the vehicle's rearview mirrors automatically fold.

[0078] After the driver parks the vehicle, a set time threshold (corresponding to the preset time threshold mentioned above) is established. Within this time threshold, the system checks whether the vehicle's headlights remain constantly on. If they are, the vehicle is considered to be still running; otherwise, it is considered to be off. Additionally, the following phenomena can be used for further analysis: the monitoring device monitors the vehicle's engine sound via a microphone; and the infrared temperature sensor of the monitoring device determines whether the overall vehicle temperature has decreased to ambient temperature over time.

[0079] Step 510: Determine whether the target vehicle is locked. If the target vehicle is locked, proceed to step 512. If the target vehicle is not locked, proceed to step 518.

[0080] Step 512: Send the first prompt message;

[0081] Step 514: Determine whether the target vehicle has been turned off. If the target vehicle has been turned off, proceed to step 516. If the target vehicle has not been turned off, proceed to step 518.

[0082] Step 516: Send the second prompt message;

[0083] Step 518, target vehicle monitoring ends.
