Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recreational vehicles, and particularly to a monitoring method, system and device for camping of recreational vehicles. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people drive recreational vehicles for long-distance travel. A recreational vehicle is a combination that integrates the functions of a house and a vehicle designed to meet the needs of people's tourism, outdoor life and work. It is a movable vehicle with basic facilities necessary for daily life. Figuratively speaking, a recreational vehicle can be called a "mobile home".

[0003] During the process of driving a recreational vehicle for tourism, in order to increase the fun of the journey, people usually camp outside the vehicle at a location with good scenery and close to the vehicle. Although existing recreational vehicles can simply control in-vehicle devices or the vehicle through an in-vehicle control large screen, such a control method cannot enable the vehicle owner to grasp the vehicle situation in real time while driving or after getting off the vehicle. Moreover, due to the large number of in-vehicle devices inside the recreational vehicle, if the vehicle owner cannot accurately understand and control their states, it is easy to cause potential safety hazards during driving or parking. For example, when driving a recreational vehicle, if the air conditioner in the living area is forgotten to be turned off, the power will be continuously exhausted, and when it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner at night when the temperature is low, there will be no power available. Furthermore, existing recreational vehicles do not have the function of monitoring and feedback on the camping situation outside the vehicle, resulting in the situation that people are very likely to forget to take things away after camping outside the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the above technologies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring method, system and device for camping of recreational vehicles, so as to solve the problem that the vehicle owners of existing recreational vehicles cannot understand and control the states of the vehicle and in-vehicle devices in real time, resulting in potential safety hazards during driving or parking of the recreational vehicle, and the problem that existing recreational vehicles do not have the function of monitoring and feedback on the camping situation outside the vehicle, causing inconvenience to camping outside the vehicle.

[0005] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a monitoring method for camping of a recreational vehicle is provided, and the method includes:

[0006] The server receives photo information of the camping location before and after camping sent by the data collection device;

[0007] The server performs image recognition and comparison on the received photo information before and after camping, and determines whether the difference between the two exceeds a preset threshold range;

[0008] The server sends a warning signal according to the judgment result.

[0009] In an alternative manner, the data acquisition device is used to collect relevant parameter information of the vehicle and in-vehicle equipment, and the collected relevant parameter information is sent to the server. The relevant parameter information of the vehicle and in-vehicle equipment includes: vehicle trajectory information, vehicle position information, vehicle speed information, in-vehicle temperature information, in-vehicle humidity information, vehicle bump information, driver fatigue degree detection information, and driver action information.

[0010] In an alternative manner, the data acquisition device includes an image capturing device. The steps for the image capturing device to obtain camping ground photos are as follows:

[0011] When the vehicle has been powered off for more than 30 minutes and the door is opened, the image recognition device takes the first shot;

[0012] When the vehicle is powered on after the power-off duration exceeds a preset value and the door is closed, the image recognition device takes the second shot;

[0013] The image recognition device sends the camping ground photos taken in the first and second shots to the server.

[0014] In an alternative manner, the interval between the first and second shots by the image recognition device is at least 3 hours.

[0015] In an alternative manner, the alarm device includes an audible and visual alarm device, and the audible and visual alarm device powers on and works after receiving a warning signal.

[0016] In an alternative manner, the server is an internet-connected management cloud platform, and the internet-connected management cloud platform can remotely control the in-vehicle equipment in the recreational vehicle.

[0017] In an alternative manner, it further includes a user-side APP used in conjunction with the internet-connected management cloud platform, and the user-side APP is installed in the mobile terminal of the driver of the recreational vehicle.

[0018] In an alternative manner, the image capturing device continuously monitors the camping ground after the recreational vehicle is powered off and uploads the monitoring information to the server in real time. A monitoring anomaly alarm module is provided in the image capturing device.

[0019] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a recreational vehicle camping monitoring system is provided, including:

[0020] A data acquisition device, configured to collect relevant information of the vehicle and the camping ground and send it to the server;

[0021] An alarm device, configured to receive a warning signal and issue a warning message to the driver;

[0022] A server for storing, analyzing, and judging the received relevant information, judging whether to issue a warning signal, and remotely controlling the vehicle-mounted device;

[0023] A user-side APP for real-time viewing of relevant information of the vehicle and vehicle-mounted device.

[0024] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a recreational vehicle camping monitoring device is further provided, including: a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and a communication bus. The processor, the memory, and the communication interface complete mutual communication through the communication bus;

[0025] The memory is used to store at least one executable instruction, and the executable instruction causes the processor to execute the operations of the recreational vehicle camping monitoring method.

[0026] The technical effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0027] During the driving process of the recreational vehicle, the data acquisition automatically collects relevant parameter information of the vehicle, such as vehicle speed and vehicle trajectory, etc., and uploads it to the server in real time. The server receives the above relevant parameter information and judges by means of a preset numerical range to determine whether to send a warning signal to the alarm device set in the vehicle to remind the vehicle owner and play a role in safe driving. Secondly, the server stores the received relevant parameter information, and vehicle management personnel can understand all parameter information of the vehicle on the server, achieving the purpose of facilitating management; at the same time, the image shooting device in the data acquisition device can also take pictures and record the area where the camping site is located, and then perform image recognition and comparison by comparing two pictures before the vehicle shuts off and after the vehicle starts. If there are significant differences between the two pictures before and after, a warning signal will be sent to the alarm device to remind the vehicle owner to get out of the vehicle and check again to confirm whether there are any items left behind at the camping site, avoiding the problem of things being left behind after camping.

[0029] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of a recreational vehicle camping monitoring system.

[0030] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of a recreational vehicle camping monitoring device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0031] The following is further detailed through specific embodiments:

[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the flowchart of the first embodiment of a camping monitoring method for a recreational vehicle provided by the present invention can be executed by a server, and the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0034] Step 110: The server receives photo information of the camping site before and after camping sent by the data acquisition device.

[0035] Step 120: The server performs image recognition and comparison on the received photo information before and after camping, and determines whether the difference between the two exceeds a preset threshold range.

[0036] Step 130: The server sends a warning signal according to the judgment result.

[0037] In step 110, it is not difficult to understand that the photo information or relevant parameter information is sent by the vehicle-mounted computer or several data acquisition devices, and the relevant parameter information specifically includes vehicle trajectory information, vehicle position information, vehicle speed information, in-vehicle temperature information, in-vehicle humidity information, vehicle bump information, driver fatigue degree detection information, driver movement information, and photo comparison information of the outdoor camping site, etc. The vehicle-mounted devices specifically refer to devices that meet the basic living needs in the recreational vehicle, such as rice cookers, air conditioners, induction cookers, and water heaters, etc.

[0038] To achieve information collection, corresponding data collection devices must be provided on the vehicle and vehicle-mounted devices, such as sensors for detecting circuit on / off or temperature, GPS for position detection, acceleration sensors for detecting bump degree, etc. This is prior art and will not be elaborated here. It should be particularly noted that the data acquisition device can directly send data to the server or can be collected by the vehicle-mounted computer and then sent to the server.

[0039] It should be noted that in this technical solution, an image capturing device is also provided on the recreational vehicle. Of course, the position where the image capturing device is set can be determined according to the actual situation. Preferably, it is set at the front and rear of the vehicle. The purpose of the image capturing device is to collect information about the campsite. The specific collection method is as follows: First, install the image capturing device at the front of the recreational vehicle or on the vehicle body; Second, when parking and camping, select the position of the campsite within the shooting range of the image capturing device; Finally, the image capturing device sends two photos, one taken before the recreational vehicle is powered off and the other after it is started, to the server. It is not difficult to understand that when the recreational vehicle is turned off and powered off, the image capturing device can take a photo of the campsite. After the camping personnel camp in the campsite within the shooting range and then start the vehicle to prepare to leave, the image capturing device will take another photo of the campsite and then send the two photos to the server. Preferably, when taking the second photo, it is necessary to meet the condition that the vehicle is started at least 3 hours after it is turned off. It can be understood that the vehicle is started 3 hours after the parking state to take the second photo. If it is less than 3 hours, the server will delete the first photo taken during the previous parking because it is only possible to complete a simple camping outdoors in at least 3 hours, thus avoiding the problem of too many useless photos taken due to starting the vehicle immediately after parking.

[0040] After the server receives the photos taken by the image capturing device, the specific judgment method is to judge whether there are differences between the two campsite photos through image recognition and comparison; of course, the difference can be understood as whether there are any additional objects in the second photo compared to the first photo, and what is the volume or area of the object to trigger the warning, that is, it can be understood that the sensitivity of the warning is adjustable. If the difference value exceeds the preset threshold range, where the threshold range refers to the volume or area range of the additional object, a warning signal will be sent to the alarm device in the recreational vehicle.

[0041] For example, if the camping site is an empty space in the photo taken before the vehicle is turned off and there is an additional object in the photo taken after the vehicle is started, and the volume of the object meets the preset volume or area threshold range, then the server will send a warning signal to the alarm device. Of course, the server can also make a preliminary judgment on the additional object, determine the category of the additional object, and whether it is a useful object before sending the warning signal.

[0042] It should be noted that the image capturing device can be a newly added camera. If the 360° panoramic camera of the recreational vehicle can meet the usage requirements, the function of the image capturing device can also be replaced by a driving recorder. At the same time, the alarm device in this technical solution is specifically an audible and visual alarm device, which can be composed of a buzzer and a speaker set in the recreational vehicle. The specific setting method is an existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] In this specific technical solution, the server is an Internet-connected management cloud platform. The Internet-connected management cloud platform can remotely control the vehicle-mounted devices in the recreational vehicle. It also includes a user-side APP used in conjunction with the Internet-connected management cloud platform. The user-side APP is installed in the mobile terminal of the recreational vehicle driver. Preferably, both the user side and the server can remotely control the vehicle and vehicle-mounted devices. The operation and control methods are mature existing technologies, such as remotely starting the vehicle on the mobile phone APP and so on. To make the RV driving safer, the user side is bound to at least one driver. When the user side performs corresponding operations, it is necessary to verify whether the operator is one of the bound persons. For example, only the bound person can start the vehicle after face recognition, operate and control the vehicle or manipulate the vehicle-mounted devices to avoid misoperation by others.

[0044] Preferably, the image capture device continuously monitors the campsite after the recreational vehicle is powered off and uploads the monitoring information to the server in real time. A monitoring anomaly alarm module is provided in the image capture device. It is not difficult to understand that the implementation situation of the campsite during the day or at night can be monitored. Especially at night, when the campers are sleeping in the tent, the anomaly alarm module can monitor whether there are any outsiders approaching, etc., to serve the purpose of reminding the campers. The monitoring anomaly alarm module is an existing technology, similar to that an alarm sound will be emitted when a moving person enters the area captured by the camera.
