[0002] Vehicle location tracking can efficiently pinpoint a vehicle's location, reducing the time users spend searching for their vehicles. Currently, there are two main methods for vehicle location tracking: 1. Locating the vehicle based on route guidance signs or electronic displays. 2. Determining the vehicle's location using auxiliary devices such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi hotspots.

[0003] While both of the above methods can achieve vehicle positioning, in complex large buildings such as commercial complexes, exhibition areas, and convention centers, where there are many signs or electronic displays, users are extremely likely to get lost. Furthermore, Bluetooth signals or Wi-Fi hotspots suffer from signal attenuation, resulting in lower positioning accuracy and limiting their application scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0022]

[0023]

[0024] Among them, a xij This represents the calculated magnetic field coefficients of the j-th actual facility and the i-th magnetic dipole along the X-axis. Indicates with a xij The corresponding weighting factor, p xj p represents the coordinate position of the j-th actual facility on the X-axis. xi Let a represent the coordinate position value of the i-th magnetic dipole on the X-axis. yij p represents the calculated magnetic field coefficients of the j-th actual facility and the i-th magnetic dipole along the Y-axis. yj p represents the Y-coordinate position of the j-th actual facility. yi This represents the Y-coordinate of the i-th magnetic dipole.

[0025] In the above-mentioned automatic vehicle positioning method based on magnetic field-assisted information, the step of obtaining the geographical location of each actual facility and user vehicle according to the facility structure model to obtain facility location values ​​and vehicle location values ​​includes:

[0026] Activate the pre-installed positioning system in the garage and import multiple facility structure models into the positioning system;

[0027] After the positioning system successfully receives multiple facility structure models, it sequentially obtains the facility information for each facility structure model, including the facility name and the location of the facility in the garage.

[0028] Based on the facility information, the actual facility is relocated using a positioning system to obtain the facility location value;

[0029] The smart terminal is used to connect to the vehicle's infotainment system. Once the connection to the infotainment system is successful, the infotainment system is reconnected to the positioning system.

[0030] Once the vehicle infotainment system and the positioning system are successfully reconnected, the positioning system is used to locate the user's vehicle and obtain the vehicle's location value.

[0031] In the above-mentioned automatic vehicle positioning method based on magnetic field-assisted information, the actual facility includes at least one magnetic field measurement point, and each magnetic field measurement point includes at least 10 magnetic dipoles.

[0032] In the above-mentioned automatic vehicle positioning method based on magnetic field-assisted information, after uploading the facility magnetic field value, vehicle magnetic field value, facility location value, and vehicle location value to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking, the method further includes:

[0033] Receive a startup command from the user to open the smart terminal, and start the smart terminal according to the startup command;

[0034] The system receives a vehicle search command input by the user in a smart terminal, and obtains the user's current location and the vehicle's parking location based on the vehicle search command. The vehicle's parking location is determined based on the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, the facility's location value, and the vehicle's location value.

[0035] The user's driving route is generated based on the current location and the vehicle's parking location, and then fed back to the user.

[0036] According to another aspect of this application, a vehicle automatic positioning system based on magnetic field-assisted information is provided, comprising:

[0037] The geomagnetic information acquisition device start-up module is used to receive parking instructions input by the user in the smart terminal and start the geomagnetic information acquisition device according to the parking instructions;

[0038] The building type splitting module is used to obtain the garage structure model of the garage where the user is parking, and split the garage structure model according to the building type to obtain multiple facility structure models, where each facility structure model corresponds to each actual facility in the garage.

[0039] The magnetic field value calculation module is used to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​of each actual facility and user vehicle using the geomagnetic information acquisition equipment, and obtain the corresponding facility magnetic field value and vehicle magnetic field value.

[0040] The location value upload module is used to obtain the geographical location of each actual facility and user vehicle based on the facility structure model when the multi-dimensional magnetic field value of each facility structure model and user vehicle is successfully collected, obtain the facility location value and vehicle location value, and upload the facility magnetic field value, vehicle magnetic field value, facility location value and vehicle location value to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking.

[0041] Compared to the problems described in the background art, the embodiments of the present invention first receive the parking command input by the user in the smart terminal, and then activate the geomagnetic information acquisition device according to the parking command. It is understood that the geomagnetic information acquisition device is the core device of the embodiments of the present invention, and its main purpose is to obtain the electromagnetic values ​​of the garage and the vehicle, and to use the electromagnetic values ​​to assist in correcting the vehicle positioning information, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the garage structure model of the user's parking garage is obtained, and the garage structure model is split according to building type to obtain multiple facility structure models. Each facility structure model corresponds to each actual facility in the garage. It should be explained that traditional garage car positioning methods rarely consider the magnetic field relationship between the vehicle and the facilities in the garage. Generally, they consider the relationship between the vehicle and the magnetic field receiver in the garage to determine the vehicle's position in the garage. In order to improve the accuracy of magnetic field vehicle positioning, this embodiment of the invention first obtains the garage structure model of the user's parking garage, and then splits the garage structure model according to building type to obtain multiple facility structure models. Since the garage structure model is a pre-constructed simulation model, the simulation model can be used to divide all buildings in the garage that need to be calculated for electromagnetic values. Each building corresponds to a magnetic field value, thereby extending the traditional method of only calculating the magnetic field relationship between the vehicle and the magnetic field receiver in the garage to the magnetic field relationship between the vehicle and each building in the garage, thus improving the accuracy of vehicle positioning. Furthermore, the geomagnetic information acquisition equipment is used to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each actual facility and user vehicle, obtaining corresponding facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values. Additionally, when the multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each facility structure model and user vehicle are successfully acquired, the geographical location of each actual facility and user vehicle is obtained based on the facility structure model, yielding facility location values ​​and vehicle location values. It is evident that facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values ​​can serve as auxiliary information for vehicle positioning, correcting vehicle positioning information. Therefore, the facility magnetic field values, vehicle magnetic field values, facility location values, and vehicle location values ​​are uploaded to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking. Thus, the main purpose of the method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for determining parking locations based on the Earth's magnetic field proposed in this invention is to improve the accuracy of vehicle positioning.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0048] This application provides a method for automatic vehicle positioning based on magnetic field-assisted information. The executing entity of this method includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following electronic devices that can be configured to execute the method provided in this application: a server, a terminal, etc. In other words, the method for automatic vehicle positioning based on magnetic field-assisted information can be executed by software or hardware installed on a terminal device or a server device. The server includes, but is not limited to, a single server, a server cluster, a cloud server, or a cloud server cluster.

[0049] Example:

[0050] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle automatic positioning method based on magnetic field-assisted information according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the vehicle automatic positioning method based on magnetic field-assisted information includes:

[0051] S1. Receive the parking command input by the user in the smart terminal, and start the geomagnetic information acquisition device according to the parking command.

[0052] It should be explained that parking instructions are generally issued by the driver or passenger who needs to park. The main purpose of parking instructions is to obtain detailed information about the vehicle and the parking garage while parking, thus facilitating the driver or passenger to find the vehicle later. For example, Xiao Zhang drives his vehicle to the underground parking garage of a shopping mall. After parking, he enters the parking instruction into an application on his mobile phone or tablet.

[0053] Furthermore, the geomagnetic information acquisition equipment consists of multiple magnetic field measurement points and magnetic field receivers. The magnetic field receivers are used to collect the magnetic field information transmitted back from each magnetic field measurement point. Each magnetic field measurement point is pre-distributed in multiple locations in the garage, and each magnetic field measurement point includes a magnetic dipole.

[0054] It should be explained that a magnetic dipole is a physical model established by analogy with an electric dipole. It is a system consisting of two point magnetic charges with equal value but opposite signs. The magnetic field value near a magnetic dipole can be effectively measured through a magnetic dipole.

[0055] For example, 100 magnetic field measurement points were pre-distributed in the basement of the shopping mall where Xiao Zhang was located. These 100 magnetic field measurement points can accurately determine the magnetic field of each cement pillar, fire hydrant, sign, and other facilities in the basement.

[0056] S2. Obtain the garage structure model of the garage where the user is parked, and split the garage structure model according to the building type to obtain multiple facility structure models, where each facility structure model corresponds to each actual facility in the garage.

[0057] It should be explained that before each garage is put into use, a simulation must be performed using simulation software to obtain a garage structural model. Each garage structural model includes structural models of actual facilities such as concrete columns, fire hydrants, and signs; this is called a facility structural model.

[0058] In addition, the actual facilities mentioned include garage roads, cement pillars, fire hydrants, signs, lights, pipes and other commonly used facilities in garages.

[0059] S3. Use the geomagnetic information acquisition equipment to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each actual facility and user vehicle to obtain the corresponding facility magnetic field value and vehicle magnetic field value.

[0060] For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the process of using the geomagnetic information acquisition device to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each actual facility and user vehicle to obtain corresponding facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values ​​includes: collecting the facility magnetic field values ​​of actual facilities and collecting the vehicle magnetic field values ​​of user vehicles, wherein collecting the facility magnetic field values ​​of actual facilities includes:

[0061] S31. Determine the magnetic field measurement point corresponding to the actual facility, and obtain multiple magnetic dipoles at the magnetic field measurement point;

[0062] S32. Sequentially obtain the magnetic field strength value generated by each magnetic dipole at the magnetic field measurement point, wherein the magnetic field strength value is composed of the magnetic field strength values ​​of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis;

[0063] S33. Calculate the facility's magnetic field value according to the preset formula for calculating the facility's magnetic field value and each magnetic field strength value.

[0064] It should be explained that each actual facility includes at least one magnetic field measurement point, and each magnetic field measurement point includes at least 10 magnetic dipoles. For example, the magnetic field measurement point corresponding to the fire hydrant in the garage has a total of 10 magnetic dipoles. Therefore, by collecting the magnetic field strength value generated by each of the 10 magnetic dipoles, the facility magnetic field value of the fire hydrant can be determined.

[0065] Further, the calculation of the facility's magnetic field value based on the preset facility magnetic field value calculation formula and each magnetic field strength value includes:

[0066] The magnetic field value of the facility is calculated using the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Where j represents the j-th actual facility where the garage is located, H xj H represents the magnetic field value of the facility on the X-axis. yj H represents the magnetic field value of the facility on the Y-axis. zj In the magnetic field value of the facility on the Z-axis, N represents the total number of magnetic dipoles at the magnetic field measurement point, i represents the i-th magnetic dipole in the j-th actual facility magnetic field measurement point, and M... xi M represents the magnetic field strength of the i-th magnetic dipole along the X-axis. yi M represents the magnetic field strength of the i-th magnetic dipole along the Y-axis. zi This represents the magnetic field strength of the i-th magnetic dipole along the Z-axis, (a xij a yij a zij b xij b yij b zij c xij c yij c zij ) represents the magnetic field calculation coefficient in the formula for calculating the magnetic field value of the j-th actual facility.

[0069] Furthermore, the calculation of the magnetic field calculation coefficient includes:

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] Among them, a xij This represents the calculated magnetic field coefficients of the j-th actual facility and the i-th magnetic dipole along the X-axis. Indicates with a xij The corresponding weighting factor, p xj p represents the coordinate position of the j-th actual facility on the X-axis. xiLet a represent the coordinate position value of the i-th magnetic dipole on the X-axis. yij p represents the calculated magnetic field coefficients of the j-th actual facility and the i-th magnetic dipole along the Y-axis. yj p represents the Y-coordinate position of the j-th actual facility. yi This represents the Y-coordinate of the i-th magnetic dipole.

[0073] It should be explained that, in this embodiment of the invention, the weighting factor can be preset manually or calculated based on historical data of vehicles located in the garage, combined with iterative optimization using the gradient descent algorithm. The gradient descent algorithm is a publicly available technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It should be emphasized that a zij b xij b yij b zij c xij c yij c zij The calculation method for the isomagnetic field coefficient is similar to that described above, with the main difference being the substitution of the weighting factor and the subscript of the coordinate position value, as follows:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, a xij With b xij The main difference lies in the different weighting factors. The calculation methods for other magnetic field coefficients are compared and derived, which will not be elaborated here.

[0077] It should be explained that the calculation method for the magnetic field value of a user's vehicle is the same as that for the magnetic field value of an actual facility, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] S4. When the multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​of each facility structure model and user vehicle are successfully collected, the geographical location of each actual facility and user vehicle is obtained according to the facility structure model, and the facility location value and vehicle location value are obtained.

[0079] It should be explained that, in order to improve the accuracy of vehicle positioning, this invention, based on obtaining the magnetic field values ​​of the facility and the vehicle, further [refers to...]. Figure 3 As shown, the geographical location of each actual facility and user vehicle is determined using GPS devices, yielding facility location values ​​and vehicle location values, including:

[0080] S41. Activate the pre-installed positioning system in the garage and import multiple facility structure models into the positioning system;

[0081] S42. After the positioning system successfully receives multiple facility structure models, it sequentially obtains the facility information for each facility structure model, including the facility name and the location information of the facility in the garage.

[0082] S43. Based on the facility information, the actual facility is relocated using a positioning system to obtain the facility location value;

[0083] S44. Use the smart terminal to connect to the vehicle system of the user's vehicle. After the connection to the vehicle system is successful, reconnect the vehicle system with the positioning system.

[0084] S45. Until the vehicle system and the positioning system are successfully reconnected, the positioning system is used to locate the user's vehicle and obtain the vehicle's location value.

[0085] Understandably, the positioning system can generally be pre-installed in the garage, such as by installing multiple GPS positioning detectors in the garage, and the positioning system is obtained by linking multiple GPS positioning detectors. Furthermore, the location information of the facility in the garage in the facility information of each facility structure model is actually obtained by positioning through the positioning system before modeling. However, in order to improve the positioning accuracy, this embodiment of the invention performs a secondary positioning through the positioning system. If the positioning information determined by the secondary positioning differs significantly from the location information of the facility information in the garage before modeling, the management personnel are notified to perform manual correction and verification.

[0086] Furthermore, the location of the vehicle's infotainment system can accurately guarantee the vehicle's position. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the infotainment system and the positioning system are reconnected to confirm the vehicle's location value.

[0087] S5. Upload the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, the facility's location value, and the vehicle's location value to the smart terminal to complete the vehicle parking.

[0088] It should be explained that the facility magnetic field value, vehicle magnetic field value, facility location value, and vehicle location value are important positioning information. Among them, the facility magnetic field value and facility location value are the reference positioning information for the user's vehicle, while the vehicle magnetic field value and vehicle location value are the actual positioning information for the user's vehicle. By combining the reference positioning information and the actual positioning information, the user's vehicle can be located effectively and accurately, preventing the positioning inaccuracy caused by traditional methods that only locate the user's vehicle.

[0089] Furthermore, the process of uploading the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, the facility's location value, and the vehicle's location value to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking also includes:

[0090] Receive a startup command from the user to open the smart terminal, and start the smart terminal according to the startup command;

[0091] The system receives a vehicle search command input by the user in a smart terminal, and obtains the user's current location and the vehicle's parking location based on the vehicle search command. The vehicle's parking location is determined based on the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, the facility's location value, and the vehicle's location value.

[0092] The user's driving route is generated based on the current location and the vehicle's parking location, and then fed back to the user.

[0093] Understandably, after a user parks their vehicle, they may need to leave the vehicle temporarily. For example, as mentioned above, Xiao Zhang parked his vehicle in the shopping garage and went shopping at the mall. After finishing his shopping, he opened his phone and entered the vehicle location command. Therefore, by using the information such as the facility magnetic field value, vehicle magnetic field value, facility location value, and vehicle location value stored in the phone in advance, Xiao Zhang's vehicle can be quickly located.

[0094] Furthermore, it should be explained that by using the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, the facility's location value, and the vehicle's location value as vehicle positioning information, the traditional method relies solely on GPS to locate the vehicle. However, due to the poor signal inside the garage, GPS positioning often results in errors. Therefore, by using the facility's magnetic field value, the vehicle's magnetic field value, and the facility's location value as references, the vehicle's location value can be corrected, thereby improving the accuracy of the vehicle's location value.

[0095] Compared to the problems described in the background art, the embodiments of the present invention first receive the parking command input by the user in the smart terminal, and then activate the geomagnetic information acquisition device according to the parking command. It is understood that the geomagnetic information acquisition device is the core device of the embodiments of the present invention, and its main purpose is to obtain the electromagnetic values ​​of the garage and the vehicle, and to use the electromagnetic values ​​to assist in correcting the vehicle positioning information, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the garage structure model of the parking garage where the user is parked is obtained. This garage structure model is then split according to building type to obtain multiple facility structure models, each corresponding to a specific facility in the garage. It should be noted that the garage structure model is a pre-constructed simulation model. This simulation model can be used to identify all buildings in the garage that require electromagnetic value calculations. Therefore, the geomagnetic information acquisition device is used to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each actual facility and the user's vehicle, obtaining corresponding facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values. Furthermore, when the multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​for each facility structure model and the user's vehicle are successfully acquired, the geographical location of each actual facility and the user's vehicle is obtained based on the facility structure model, yielding facility location values ​​and vehicle location values. It is evident that facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values ​​can serve as auxiliary information for vehicle positioning to correct vehicle positioning information. Therefore, the facility magnetic field values, vehicle magnetic field values, facility location values, and vehicle location values ​​are uploaded to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking. Therefore, the method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for determining parking location based on the Earth's magnetic field proposed in this invention primarily aim to improve the accuracy of vehicle positioning.

[0097] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a vehicle automatic positioning system based on magnetic field-assisted information according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle automatic positioning system 100 based on magnetic field-assisted information according to an embodiment of this application includes: a geomagnetic information acquisition device activation module 110, used to receive a parking command input by a user in a smart terminal and activate the geomagnetic information acquisition device according to the parking command; a building type splitting module 120, used to obtain a garage structure model of the garage where the user is parking, and split the garage structure model according to building type to obtain multiple facility structure models, wherein each facility structure model corresponds to each actual facility in the garage; a magnetic field value calculation module 130, used to use the geomagnetic information acquisition device to collect multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​of each actual facility and the user's vehicle, and obtain corresponding facility magnetic field values ​​and vehicle magnetic field values; and a location value uploading module 140, used to, when the multi-dimensional magnetic field values ​​of each facility structure model and the user's vehicle are successfully collected, obtain the geographical location of each actual facility and the user's vehicle according to the facility structure model, obtain facility location values ​​and vehicle location values, and upload the facility magnetic field values, vehicle magnetic field values, facility location values ​​and vehicle location values ​​to the smart terminal to complete vehicle parking.

[0098] In one example, in the above-mentioned vehicle automatic positioning system 100 based on magnetic field-assisted information, the geomagnetic information acquisition device consists of multiple magnetic field measurement points and magnetic field receivers. The magnetic field receivers are used to collect the magnetic field information transmitted back from each magnetic field measurement point. Each magnetic field measurement point is pre-distributed in multiple locations in the garage, and each magnetic field measurement point includes multiple magnetic dipoles.
