[0038] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The following describes a method and apparatus for remotely summoning a vehicle, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] At present, drones are used to patrol in the air to find parking spaces so that users can park quickly, and the self-driving car can be summoned through the mobile terminal to drive intelligently to the location specified by the owner. This can facilitate the owner and save the owner's time to a certain extent. However, in some parking lots with irregular management, when there are not enough parking spaces, some vehicles are parked randomly in the aisles. In the case of blocking the entry and exit of vehicles, the owner of the obstructing vehicle can only be called to move the car. Usually, the owner of the target vehicle needs to go to the parking lot to find the obstructing vehicle. If the owner's mobile phone number is left under the windshield of the obstructing vehicle, the owner of the target vehicle calls the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the car. After waiting for a certain period of time, the owner of the obstructing vehicle can move the car so that the target vehicle can drive out. If the owner of the obstructing vehicle does not leave a mobile phone number, it is necessary to use the "one-click car moving" function of a third-party service to provide the license plate number and location of the obstructing vehicle, and notify the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the car. However, these processes require the owner of the target vehicle to handle on-site, which brings inconvenience to users, especially in rainy, hot weather and other weather, which brings users a worse travel experience.

[0041] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a remote summoning method for a vehicle, which can make the owner of the target vehicle more worry-free when remotely summoning the vehicle, improve the intelligence level of vehicle summoning, and has strong practicality, bringing great convenience to users' travel.

[0042] For the convenience of describing the content of the present invention, the target vehicle mentioned in the present invention satisfies the unmanned driving function. Figure 2 As shown, the target vehicle V100 contains a vehicle controller S1000, a storage trunk K100 and a drone F300. Among them, the vehicle controller S1000 is arranged in the cockpit, and has the ability to interact with the cloud server and the corresponding owner's mobile terminal. It can control the storage trunk K100, the drone F300, and the panoramic camera of the whole vehicle, and can send wireless data to the outside. The storage trunk K100 has a large space, which has the space size for storing and fixing the drone F300, and can provide a certain space for the drone F300 to take off. The drone F300 itself has independent flight capabilities and is equipped with a battery to ensure endurance. It is equipped with a high-definition camera to capture the moving information of the obstacle vehicle, and is wirelessly connected to the vehicle controller S1000 through WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. to transmit data or interactive information.

[0043] It should be noted that the drone F300 can be fixed in the cockpit, the storage trunk under the front cabin cover, or the trunk on the back door. The specific fixing position depends on the actual situation.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the parking environment of the target vehicle V100 may be as follows: Figure 3As shown, the obstacle vehicle V201 is parked in front of the target vehicle V100, blocking the target vehicle V100 from leaving the parking space during smart summoning. It is assumed that the target vehicle V100 is parked in reverse into the parking space, with the front of the vehicle facing the obstacle vehicle V201. Preferably, the drone K100 can be fixed in the storage luggage box K100 under the front hood. Compared with the drone F300 placed in the cockpit, the windows of the target vehicle V100 need to be lowered to a certain extent when performing the flight mission. If it encounters rain and snow, it is easy to wet the cockpit or seat, and after the windows of the target vehicle V100 are lowered, the safety of the items in the target vehicle V100 is reduced. It should be noted that the storage luggage box K100 can be opened and closed electrically, and the angle of the electric opening can be set according to the user, through the central control screen in the target vehicle V100, or the user's mobile terminal, and after setting, it is transmitted back to the vehicle controller S1000 through the cloud service.

[0045] It should be noted that the placement of the drone is set before the vehicle leaves the factory, or is pre-set by the user according to their own needs. It can be placed in the storage box under the front hood or in the trunk.

[0046] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below by taking an example where a target vehicle is reversed into a parking space with the front of the vehicle facing outward and the drone is placed in a storage box at the front of the vehicle.

[0047] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of a remote summoning method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the remote summoning method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0049] S1, receiving and responding to a call command of a target vehicle, and acquiring surrounding environment information of the target vehicle.

[0050] Specifically, if the user needs the vehicle to automatically drive to a designated location to pick up himself or other passengers, he can issue a summoning command through the mobile terminal. When the vehicle controller receives the intelligent summoning command issued by the user through the mobile terminal, it turns on the panoramic camera of the target vehicle to obtain the surrounding environment image data. Among them, the panoramic camera may include a front camera arranged near the front grille, a rear camera arranged outside the back door, a left camera arranged near the left door, a right camera arranged near the right door, and a front camera behind the rearview mirror. The image information data captured by the panoramic camera includes weather, pedestrians, and obstacle vehicles.

[0051] In addition, if the image captured by the panoramic camera is not clear enough in special weather conditions, such as heavy fog or rain, other sensors of the vehicle (such as millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic radar, and lidar) can be combined to determine whether there is an obstruction vehicle in front. For example, an ultrasonic ranging sensor installed on the bumper can be used to emit ultrasonic waves in front of the target vehicle, and the reflected ultrasonic waves can be received and converted into electrical signals to determine whether there is an obstruction vehicle. Alternatively, a distance sensor can be used to detect obstacles in front and behind the target vehicle and the distance to other vehicles to determine whether there are obstruction vehicles around the vehicle.

[0052] S2, when it is determined according to the surrounding environment information that there is an obstacle vehicle in the driving direction of the target vehicle, the moving information of the obstacle vehicle is obtained, and the moving information is used to notify the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle.

[0053] S3, after determining that the obstacle vehicle has been removed, controlling the target vehicle to automatically drive to the target position.

[0054] Specifically, when it is determined that there is an obstacle in the driving direction of the target vehicle, if the obstacle is an obstacle vehicle, the moving information of the obstacle vehicle is obtained, and the moving information includes: the contact information of the owner of the obstacle vehicle or the license plate number of the obstacle vehicle. The moving information can be used to notify the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle. For example, the vehicle controller automatically calls the contact information of the owner of the obstacle vehicle to notify him to move the vehicle, or the owner of the target vehicle contacts the owner of the obstacle vehicle by himself through the obtained contact information, or notifies the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle through the cloud server according to the obtained contact information. The panoramic camera continuously captures the environmental information around the target vehicle. After determining that the obstacle vehicle has moved away, it automatically navigates to the target location according to the positioning information of the user-specified location to complete the smart summoning task. In addition, when the smart summoning task is completed, the user can also be reminded that the smart summoning has been completed, or after the obstacle vehicle is moved away, the user can be reminded to perform the summoning task according to the instructions.

[0055] It should be noted that when the obstacle is debris such as stones, it can be sent to the parking lot management system through the cloud server to remind the management staff to remove the obstacle, or the car owner can call to remind the management staff to remove the obstacle.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that there is an obstacle vehicle in the driving direction of the target vehicle, if a stop call command is received, the target vehicle is controlled to maintain a current state unchanged.

[0057] Specifically, in step S1, the vehicle controller synchronizes the image data provided by the panoramic camera to the mobile terminal through a wireless connection for the user to view. If the user finds that the target vehicle is blocked by an obstacle vehicle according to the surrounding environment information, it can be determined whether to continue the summoning according to the actual situation. Among them, if the user still requires the vehicle to continue to perform the summoning task, the owner can obtain the moving information of the obstacle vehicle so that the owner of the obstacle vehicle can notify the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle away; if the on-site obstacle situation is indeed complicated and not conducive to smart summoning, the user can send a termination smart summoning command to the vehicle controller through the mobile terminal. When the vehicle controller receives the stop summoning command, it stops working and returns to the dormant anti-theft state, waiting for the next summoning command to start or the user to drive out by himself.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the moving information of the obstructing vehicle, the method further includes: determining whether there is someone in the obstructing vehicle based on the surrounding environment information of the target vehicle; if there is someone in the obstructing vehicle, issuing a reminder message; if there is no one in the obstructing vehicle, obtaining the moving information of the obstructing vehicle.

[0059] That is to say, when it is determined that there is an obstructing vehicle in the direction of the target vehicle, first determine whether there is anyone in the vehicle based on the surrounding environment information. When someone is found in the vehicle, the vehicle controller can notify the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the vehicle through voice broadcast, or issue a prompt to the owner of the obstructing vehicle by honking, flashing, etc., prompting the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the vehicle away. When there is no one in the vehicle, it is necessary to obtain the moving information of the obstructing vehicle in order to notify the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the vehicle out, so that the target vehicle can automatically drive to the location specified by the user.

[0060] How to obtain the moving information of the obstacle vehicle will be described in detail below.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the moving information of the obstacle vehicle includes: controlling a drone configured for the target vehicle to fly out; and obtaining the moving information of the obstacle vehicle through the drone. According to one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the drone in the target vehicle to fly out, the method further includes: determining that the surrounding environment information of the target vehicle meets a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes that the surrounding environment information is suitable for the drone to fly.

[0062] Specifically, when the target vehicle executes the smart summon command, before sending a request to the drone, it will first determine whether the drone is suitable for flying based on the surrounding environment information of the target vehicle. For example, bad weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds are not suitable for drone flight, or there are many pedestrians or vehicles coming and going in the current environment, which is not suitable for summoning cars. For safety reasons, in this case, the vehicle controller will not control the drone to work and feedback the situation to the owner. The owner can choose to terminate the smart summon command according to the current situation. When the vehicle controller receives the stop summon command, it controls the target vehicle to stop working and return to the dormant anti-theft state. When the surrounding environment is suitable for drone flight (such as fewer pedestrians or vehicles and good weather), the vehicle controller can control the drone to obtain vehicle moving information through the drone.

[0063] It should be noted that the vehicle controller can not only control the drone to work by analyzing the surrounding environment captured by the panoramic camera, but also obtain weather information through the Internet, and obtain environmental information around the target vehicle through on-board radar sensors, millimeter microwave sensors, etc.

[0064] In addition, the moving information of the obstacle vehicle can be collected by the camera and radar collection device installed on the vehicle. When the information cannot be collected or the collected information is vague, the drone configured on the vehicle can be used for close-range collection, or the moving information of the obstacle vehicle can be directly obtained by using the drone configured on the vehicle.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a drone is set in a storage box at the front of a target vehicle, and controlling the drone configured on the target vehicle to fly out includes: controlling the storage box at the front of the target vehicle to open to a preset angle, so that the drone flies out. The preset angle can be determined according to actual conditions, for example, the preset angle can be determined according to information such as the size and shape of the drone.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the moving information of an obstructing vehicle through a drone includes: obtaining first image information of the obstructing vehicle collected by the drone; and parsing the first image information to obtain contact information of the owner of the obstructing vehicle retained by the drone.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the moving information of the obstructing vehicle, the method also includes: sending the contact information of the owner of the obstructing vehicle retained by the vehicle owner to the owner of the target vehicle, so that the owner of the target vehicle can contact the owner of the obstructing vehicle through the owner's contact information to move the vehicle; and / or, contacting the owner of the obstructing vehicle through the owner's contact information retained by the vehicle owner to move the vehicle.

[0068] Specifically, after confirming that the surrounding environment is suitable for drone flight, the vehicle controller determines the surrounding safety based on the panoramic camera image data, controls the front storage trunk to open, and opens it to a certain angle (to allow the drone to fly out completely) so that the drone can travel along the planned path. First, the drone is controlled to hover in front of the target vehicle, and combined with the position of the obstacle vehicle, autonomously flies to the front windshield of the obstacle vehicle to take pictures and obtain images (first image information), and the images are sent back to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller identifies and analyzes whether there is contact information of the owner of the obstacle vehicle in the image. If the image information of the vehicle is identified to have contact information, the contact information is sent back to the vehicle controller in the target vehicle, and the vehicle controller transmits it to the owner's mobile terminal of the target vehicle through wireless transmission. The user can contact the owner of the obstacle vehicle according to the contact information and notify the owner to move the car. Alternatively, the vehicle controller sends the contact information to the cloud server, and reminds the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the car through the cloud server. Alternatively, while the vehicle controller sends the contact information to the owner of the target vehicle, it also reminds the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle through the cloud server, and after reminding the owner of the obstacle vehicle to move the vehicle, it notifies the owner of the target vehicle that the owner of the obstacle vehicle has been reminded to move the vehicle.

[0069] In addition, the target vehicle can also automatically send a message to request the other party to move the car through text messages, or automatically notify the other party to move the car through a phone call. If the obstructing vehicle and the target vehicle are connected to the same service platform, the owner of the obstructing vehicle can be notified to move the car through the cloud server, and the owner of the obstructing vehicle can also respond to the request of the cloud server and remotely control the vehicle to automatically move to the location specified by the obstructing vehicle owner, or move the vehicle forward to allow the target vehicle to drive out smoothly.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the moving information of an obstructing vehicle through a drone includes: if the contact information retained by the obstructing vehicle cannot be obtained, collecting the second image information of the obstructing vehicle through the drone; and parsing the second image information to obtain the license plate number of the obstructing vehicle.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the moving information of the obstructing vehicle, the method also includes: sending the license plate number to the owner of the target vehicle, so that the owner of the target vehicle notifies the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the vehicle according to the license plate number; and / or, querying the contact information of the owner of the obstructing vehicle according to the license plate number, and sending the owner's contact information to the owner of the target vehicle, so that the owner of the target vehicle contacts the owner of the obstructing vehicle through the owner's contact information to move the vehicle; and / or, querying the contact information of the owner of the obstructing vehicle according to the license plate number, and contacting the owner of the obstructing vehicle through the contact information of the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the vehicle.

[0072] Specifically, if the vehicle controller does not obtain the contact information of the obstructing vehicle in the recognition image, it controls the drone to fly in front of the front of the obstructing vehicle to take pictures and obtain the image (second image information). The image data is sent back to the vehicle controller through Bluetooth connection or Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless communication technology) to parse the image data. After the vehicle controller parses the license plate number of the obstructing vehicle, it sends the license plate number to the mobile terminal of the target vehicle user. The user can provide the license plate number and location of the obstructing vehicle through the "one-click car moving" function of the third-party service, and the owner of the obstructing vehicle can be notified to move the car, so that the target vehicle can drive out smoothly. Or send the license plate number to the cloud server, the cloud server obtains the contact information of the owner of the license plate number, and the cloud server reminds the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the car. Or after obtaining the owner's contact information based on the license plate number, the user can contact the owner of the obstructing vehicle to move the car.

[0073] It should be noted that the above three methods can also be used in combination. For example, while sending the license plate number to the owner of the target vehicle, the contact information of the owner of the license plate number is obtained through the cloud server, and the contact information is sent to the owner of the target vehicle; for another example, while sending the license plate number to the owner of the target vehicle, the contact information of the owner of the license plate number is obtained through the cloud server, and while sending the contact information to the owner of the target vehicle, the owner of the obstructing vehicle is contacted through the cloud server to move the vehicle, and after contacting the owner of the obstructing vehicle through the cloud server to move the vehicle, the owner of the target vehicle is notified that the owner of the obstructing vehicle has been reminded to move the vehicle. It can be understood that there are many combinations of the above, and in order to avoid redundancy, examples are not given one by one here.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the moving information of the obstacle vehicle through the drone, the drone is also controlled to fly back to the front storage box of the target vehicle, and the front storage box of the target vehicle is controlled to be closed.

[0075] Specifically, when the drone completes the shooting mission, that is, shooting the license plate number and mobile phone number, the drone is controlled to automatically fly back to the fixed structure of the storage suitcase. Furthermore, in order to save the power of the drone, the vehicle controller also turns off the power of the drone and controls the storage suitcase to automatically close to prevent the drone from being stolen. It should be noted that the drone can automatically fly back to the storage suitcase after completing the shooting mission, and the storage suitcase will automatically close after sensing that the drone has returned, without the need for control by the vehicle controller.

[0076] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that there is no obstacle vehicle in the driving direction of the target vehicle, the target vehicle is controlled to automatically drive to the target position according to the target vehicle calling command.

[0077] That is to say, after analyzing the images taken by the panoramic camera, if there are no obstacles blocking the target vehicle's driving direction, the target vehicle can automatically navigate to the target location based on the positioning information of the user-specified location to complete the smart summoning task.
