Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle networking technology, and in particular to a vehicle status monitoring method and related products. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of economic levels, the number of private cars has surged, bringing with it problems beyond just parking difficulties, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution. As the concept of the "sharing economy" rapidly gains popularity, car sharing has quietly entered the public eye. The emergence of car sharing brings convenience and speed to people's lives, effectively alleviating the worsening of urban traffic conditions.

[0003] When users leave the car midway to handle other matters while using a shared car, the vehicle's security cannot be guaranteed, and the vehicle is at risk of being stolen. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of this application is to provide a vehicle status monitoring method and related products, the advantage of which is that the vehicle status is monitored by the user terminal, and an alarm is promptly issued to the user when the vehicle status is abnormal, so as to ensure the safety of the vehicle and prevent the vehicle from being stolen.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle status monitoring method, the method being applied to a user terminal, the method comprising:

[0006] Receive a connection request sent by the vehicle, the connection request being generated when the vehicle is in a state where the driver is off the vehicle and the user has access to the vehicle;

[0007] A temporary communication connection is established with the vehicle based on the connection request;

[0008] The first state information of the vehicle is obtained based on the temporary communication connection;

[0009] If the first status information is abnormal, an alarm message will be output.

[0010] In this embodiment, after receiving a connection request from the vehicle, the user terminal establishes a temporary communication connection with the vehicle and obtains the vehicle's status information based on the temporary communication connection, thereby monitoring the vehicle's status. This allows for timely output of alarm information in case of abnormal vehicle status, ensuring vehicle security and preventing theft.

[0011] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the first state information of the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection, the method further includes:

[0012] If the first status information is normal, the second status information is deleted, and the second time the second status information is obtained is earlier than the first time the first status information is obtained.

[0013] In this embodiment, the second state information is the vehicle state information obtained by the user terminal before obtaining the first state information. After obtaining the first state information, the user terminal deletes the second state information, thereby saving storage space on the user terminal.

[0014] In one possible implementation, before obtaining the first state information of the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection, the method further includes:

[0015] The second state information of the vehicle is obtained based on the temporary communication connection, and the second time of obtaining the second state information is earlier than the first time of obtaining the first state information.

[0016] The distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is determined based on the temporary communication connection;

[0017] The time interval between the first obtained time and the second obtained time is determined based on the distance.

[0018] In this embodiment, the user terminal can determine the time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time based on its distance from the vehicle. This time interval is inversely proportional to the distance; that is, the smaller the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle, the larger the time interval. When the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is large, the user terminal can monitor the vehicle's status more frequently, so as to detect abnormalities in the vehicle's status in a timely manner and promptly notify the user, thereby enabling the user to deal with the abnormality of the vehicle in a timely manner and prevent the vehicle from being stolen.

[0019] In one possible implementation, after determining the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection, the method further includes:

[0020] If the distance exceeds a distance threshold, a prompt message is output to indicate to the user whether to end the use of the vehicle.

[0021] In this embodiment, when the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is greater than a distance threshold, a prompt message is output to remind the user that the distance to the vehicle is too far and whether to stop using the vehicle. This timely prompt can improve the user experience, thereby preventing the user from unnecessarily occupying the vehicle and increasing the utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0022] In one possible implementation, after establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request, the method further includes:

[0023] Detect the signal strength of the temporary communication connection;

[0024] If the rate of change of the signal strength is greater than a first threshold, a prompt message is output, which is used to indicate that the user's communication signal is abnormal.

[0025] It is understood that if the rate of change of the signal strength of the temporary communication connection exceeds a first threshold, it indicates that the temporary communication connection is being interfered with. In this embodiment, when the rate of change of the signal strength exceeds the first threshold, the user terminal outputs a prompt message to alert the user that the communication signal of the temporary communication connection is abnormal, so as to promptly notify the user that the communication signal of the temporary communication connection is being interfered with and prevent the temporary communication connection from being abnormally interrupted.

[0026] In one possible implementation, after establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request, the method further includes:

[0027] Monitor the connection time of the temporary communication connection;

[0028] If the connection time exceeds a time threshold, a prompt message is output to remind the user that the parking time has been too long.

[0029] In this embodiment, the user terminal can determine the user's departure time from the vehicle by the duration of the temporary communication connection. This allows the user to be notified if the departure time is too long, and the system can determine whether the user has finished using the vehicle. This avoids unnecessary occupation of the vehicle by the user, improves the user experience, and increases the utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the first status information includes information on occupants in the vehicle and information on air composition; the method further includes:

[0031] Based on the information about the people inside the vehicle, determine whether there are children inside the vehicle;

[0032] If a child is present inside the vehicle and the air composition information is abnormal, the first state information is determined to be abnormal.

[0033] In this embodiment, the user terminal can monitor the air composition inside the vehicle even when a child is present. If the air composition information is abnormal, the user terminal determines that the first state information is abnormal and outputs a prompt message. This promptly alerts the user to the child's condition inside the vehicle, preventing the child from being forgotten and potentially injured, thus improving vehicle safety.

[0034] In one possible implementation, after determining that the first state information is abnormal, the method further includes:

[0035] In response to the user's window opening operation, a window opening control command is generated;

[0036] The window opening control command is sent to the vehicle, and the window opening control command is used to control the vehicle to open the window.

[0037] In this embodiment, when air composition information is abnormal, the user terminal can prompt the user to open the window and, in response to the user's window opening operation, generate a window opening control command. The user terminal sends this window opening control command to the vehicle to control the vehicle's windows to open, thereby preventing children inside the vehicle from being unable to breathe due to abnormal air composition and improving vehicle safety.

[0038] In a second aspect, embodiments of this application provide a terminal device, including a processor and a memory, the memory being used to store one or more programs, the one or more programs being configured to be executed by the processor, the programs including methods for performing the first aspect described above and any possible implementation thereof.

[0046] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0047] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.

[0049] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle status monitoring method provided in an embodiment of this application. This vehicle status monitoring method is applied to a user terminal, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle status monitoring method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

[0051] 101. Receive a connection request sent by the vehicle, the connection request being generated when the vehicle is in a state where the driver is off the vehicle and the user has the right to use the vehicle.

[0052] For example, when a vehicle is determined to be stationary, it can detect whether the driver has left the vehicle and whether the user still has access to the vehicle. If the driver has left the vehicle and the user still has access to the vehicle, a connection request is generated. This connection request establishes a temporary connection between the user terminal and the vehicle. After receiving the connection request from the vehicle, the user terminal can establish a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request. It is understood that the user and the driver can be the same person.

[0053] Understandably, the aforementioned connection request can also be generated by the vehicle after determining that the user's usage rights have not changed. The vehicle can also determine whether the user's usage rights have changed upon detecting that the user has left the vehicle or that the vehicle is locked. If the vehicle determines that the user's usage rights have not changed, it generates the aforementioned connection request, which is used to establish a temporary communication connection with the user's corresponding user terminal.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the vehicle can determine whether a user has permission to use the vehicle based on the user's usage actions. For example, the vehicle can receive a user return message sent by a user terminal or server, which instructs the user to end their use of the vehicle. After receiving the user return message, the vehicle determines that the user does not have permission to use the vehicle.

[0055] In some implementations, the vehicle can determine that the user does not have permission to use the vehicle in response to a return operation performed by the user on the vehicle's display interface.

[0056] In another possible implementation, the vehicle can determine whether a user still has the right to use the vehicle based on the time the user has held that right. For example, if the time the user has held the right to use the vehicle includes the current moment, the vehicle can determine that the user still has the right to use the vehicle. It is understood that the vehicle can determine the time the user has held the right to use the vehicle based on the user's vehicle usage information when obtaining that information, or it can obtain the user's usage time during the user's use of the vehicle and determine the time the user still has the right to use the vehicle.

[0057] In another possible implementation, when the vehicle detects that the driver has left the vehicle, it can send a query message to the server to inquire whether the user's usage rights have changed. The vehicle determines whether the user still has usage rights based on the server's response. For example, if the vehicle receives a first confirmation message from the server, it determines that the user still has usage rights; this first confirmation message is sent by the server upon confirming that the user still has usage rights. If the vehicle receives a second confirmation message from the server, it determines that the user no longer has usage rights; this second confirmation message is sent by the server upon confirming that the user no longer has usage rights. For example, after receiving the query message, the server can check whether it has received a vehicle return request from the user's terminal. If it receives a vehicle return request from the user's terminal, the server determines that the user no longer has usage rights and can therefore send the second confirmation message to the vehicle. If the server does not receive a vehicle return request from the user, it can send the first confirmation message to the vehicle. In this embodiment of the application, when the vehicle detects that the driver has left the vehicle, it can send query information to the server and determine whether the user has the right to use the vehicle based on the confirmation information returned by the server, so as to obtain the changes in the right to use the vehicle in a timely manner.

[0058] 102. Establish a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request.

[0059] For example, after receiving the connection request, the user terminal can establish a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request. The temporary communication connection is used to enable the user terminal to interact with the vehicle, so that the user terminal can monitor the status of the vehicle when the driver is away from the vehicle.

[0060] For example, after establishing the aforementioned temporary communication connection with the vehicle, the user terminal can allocate a first storage space for the temporary communication connection. This first storage space is used to store data generated by the temporary communication connection, such as status information obtained by the user terminal based on the temporary communication connection. After disconnecting the temporary communication connection, the user terminal can delete the data in the first storage space, thereby saving memory on the user terminal.

[0061] In some implementations, the user terminal can receive a disconnect request sent by the vehicle and disconnect the aforementioned temporary communication connection. This disconnect request is sent by the vehicle upon detecting the driver's return. For example, upon the driver's return, the user terminal no longer needs to monitor the vehicle's status based on the temporary communication connection. Therefore, by sending a disconnect request to the user terminal upon detecting the driver's return, the vehicle disconnects the temporary communication connection, thus conserving the resources required for that temporary communication connection.

[0062] In one possible implementation, after establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request in step 102, the vehicle status monitoring method may further include the following steps:

[0063] Detect the signal strength of the aforementioned temporary communication connection;

[0064] If the rate of change of the signal strength exceeds a first threshold, a prompt message is output, which is used to indicate to the user that the communication signal is abnormal.

[0065] For example, the first threshold can be determined by the user terminal. If the rate of change of the signal strength of the temporary communication connection exceeds the first threshold, it indicates that the temporary communication connection is being interfered with. For instance, a shielding magnetic field may exist around the user terminal, causing interference to the temporary communication connection. Therefore, the user terminal can output a prompt message when the rate of change of the signal strength exceeds the first threshold to alert the user to an abnormal communication signal in the temporary communication connection, thus promptly notifying the user that the communication signal of the temporary communication connection is being interfered with and preventing abnormal interruption of the temporary communication connection.

[0066] In one possible implementation, after establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request in step 102, the vehicle status monitoring method may further include the following steps:

[0067] Monitor the connection time of the temporary communication connection;

[0068] If the connection time exceeds a time threshold, a prompt message is output to remind the user that the parking time has been too long.

[0069] For example, the user terminal can set a communication duration for the temporary communication connection, and the aforementioned time threshold can be the communication duration. After establishing the temporary communication connection with the vehicle, the user terminal can monitor the connection time of the temporary communication connection. If the connection time exceeds the aforementioned time threshold, a prompt message is output to remind the user that the user has been away from the vehicle for too long.

[0070] For example, after outputting the aforementioned prompt information, the user terminal can also confirm with the user whether to return the vehicle, i.e., whether to end the use of the vehicle. For instance, the user terminal device can output a vehicle return confirmation message to the user via sound or vibration. In response to the user's confirmation of vehicle return, the user terminal sends a vehicle return request to the vehicle or server and disconnects the aforementioned temporary communication connection.

[0071] In this embodiment, the user terminal can determine the user's departure time from the vehicle by the duration of the temporary communication connection. This allows the user to be notified if the departure time is too long, and the system can determine whether the user has finished using the vehicle. This avoids unnecessary occupation of the vehicle by the user, improves the user experience, and increases the utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0072] 103. Obtain the first state information of the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection.

[0073] For example, the aforementioned first status information may include one or more of the vehicle's location information, tire pressure information, temperature information, motion status information, and fuel level information. After establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle, the user terminal can obtain the vehicle's first status information based on the temporary communication connection, so that the user terminal can determine whether the vehicle is malfunctioning based on the first status information.

[0074] It is understood that the aforementioned first status information can be actively acquired by the user terminal or actively sent by the vehicle. For example, the user terminal can send first indication information to the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection. This first indication information instructs the vehicle to send the first status information to the user terminal based on the temporary communication connection. The user terminal device receives the first status information based on the temporary communication connection.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned first state information includes information on occupants and air composition; the vehicle state monitoring method may further include the following steps:

[0076] Based on the information about the people inside the vehicle, determine whether there are children inside the vehicle;

[0077] If a child is present inside the vehicle and the air composition information is abnormal, the first state information is determined to be abnormal.

[0078] For example, the aforementioned air composition information may include oxygen content and carbon monoxide content. When the vehicle detects that the driver has left the vehicle, it detects the occupants inside the vehicle to obtain the aforementioned occupant information. If a child is present inside the vehicle, the air composition inside the vehicle can be detected to obtain that air composition information. The vehicle can include the occupant information and the air composition information in the aforementioned first status information and send it to the user terminal. After receiving the first status information, the user terminal can determine whether a child is inside the vehicle based on the occupant information and whether the air quality inside the vehicle is normal based on the air composition information. If a child is present inside the vehicle and the air composition information is abnormal, the user terminal determines that the first status information is abnormal and outputs a prompt message. For example, if the user terminal determines that the oxygen content in the air composition information is too low or the carbon monoxide content is too high, it determines that the first status information is abnormal. Outputting a prompt message when the user terminal determines that the first status information is abnormal can promptly remind the user to pay attention to the child's condition inside the vehicle, preventing the user from forgetting the child in the vehicle and causing injury, thus improving vehicle safety.

[0079] In one possible implementation, after determining that the first state information is abnormal, the vehicle state monitoring method may further include the following steps:

[0080] In response to the user's window opening operation, a window opening control command is generated;

[0081] The window opening control command is sent to the vehicle, and the window opening control command is used to control the vehicle to open the window.

[0082] For example, if the user terminal determines that the first state information is abnormal, it can prompt the user to open the window and generate a window opening control command in response to the user's window opening operation. The user terminal sends the window opening control command to the vehicle to control the vehicle to open the window, thereby preventing children inside the vehicle from being unable to breathe due to abnormal air composition and improving vehicle safety.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the first state information includes the vehicle's location information, and the user terminal determines its distance from the vehicle based on this location information. If the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is less than a preset distance, the user terminal disconnects the temporary communication connection. For example, if the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is less than the preset distance, it can be assumed that the user terminal is near the vehicle, and there is no need to monitor the vehicle's status through the temporary communication connection; therefore, the temporary communication connection can be disconnected. For instance, if the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is less than 5 meters, the user terminal can disconnect the temporary communication connection with the vehicle.

[0084] 104. If the first status information is abnormal, output an alarm message.

[0085] If the first state information is abnormal, and the user terminal determines that the vehicle state is abnormal, it will output an alarm message. For example, the user terminal can output the alarm message in the form of vibration, sound, text, etc.

[0086] For example, the aforementioned alarm information is related to anomalies in the first state information. For instance, the first state information includes the vehicle's tire pressure information; if the tire pressure information is abnormal, the alarm information may include information about abnormal tire pressure. Alternatively, if the tire pressure information is empty or the vehicle's tire pressure is too low, it can be determined that the vehicle is at risk of being stolen, and the alarm information output by the user terminal may include a warning that the vehicle may be stolen. Furthermore, the first state information may include the vehicle's location information; if this location information changes, the user terminal determines that the vehicle's status is abnormal and there is a risk of theft, therefore the output alarm information may include a warning that the vehicle may be stolen.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving a connection request sent by the vehicle, the user terminal establishes a temporary communication connection with the vehicle and obtains the vehicle's status information based on the temporary communication connection, thereby monitoring the vehicle's status so as to output alarm information in a timely manner when the vehicle status is abnormal. This allows the user to be alerted in a timely manner, ensuring the vehicle's security and preventing theft.

[0088] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the first state information of the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection, the vehicle state monitoring method may further include the following steps:

[0089] If the first status information is normal, the second status information is deleted, and the second acquisition time of the second status information is earlier than the first acquisition time of the first status information.

[0090] For example, the user terminal can periodically obtain vehicle status information, where the second status information is the vehicle status information obtained before the first status information is obtained. For instance, the second status information could be the first status information obtained by the user terminal before the first status information is obtained, or it could be a nth status information obtained by the user terminal before the first status information is obtained.

[0091] For example, the user terminal can determine the number of vehicle status information entries to be retained based on the first storage space allocated for the aforementioned temporary communication connection. For instance, if the first storage space can hold ten status information entries, then the second status information could be the tenth status information entry preceding the first status information received by the user terminal. After receiving the first status information, the user terminal device can store the first status information in the first storage space and delete the second status information from the first storage space.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the first state information, the user terminal deletes the second state information, thereby saving storage space of the user terminal.

[0093] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 Another vehicle status monitoring method provided in this application embodiment. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle status monitoring method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

[0094] 201. Receive a connection request sent by the vehicle, the connection request being generated when the vehicle is in a state where the driver is off the vehicle and the user has the right to use the vehicle.

[0095] It is understood that the specific implementation of step 201 can be referred to the relevant description in step 101, and will not be repeated here.

[0096] 202, Establish a temporary communication connection with the vehicle based on the connection request.

[0097] It is understood that the specific implementation of step 202 can be referred to the relevant description in step 102, and will not be repeated here.

[0098] 203. Obtain the second state information of the vehicle based on a temporary communication connection, wherein the second time of obtaining the second state information is earlier than the first time of obtaining the first state information.

[0099] For example, after establishing a temporary communication connection with the vehicle, the user terminal can obtain the vehicle's second status information based on the temporary communication connection. The user terminal can then determine whether the vehicle's status is abnormal based on this second status information.

[0100] It is understood that the aforementioned second status information can be actively acquired by the user terminal or actively sent by the vehicle. For example, the user terminal can send second indication information to the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection. This second indication information instructs the vehicle to send the second status information to the user terminal based on the temporary communication connection. The user terminal device receives the second status information based on the temporary communication connection.

[0101] 204. Determine the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection.

[0102] For example, the second status information may include the vehicle's location information. After receiving the second status information, the user equipment obtains the user terminal's location information and determines the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle based on the vehicle's location information and the user terminal's location information.

[0103] In some implementations, the user terminal can also determine the distance between the vehicle and the user terminal based on the signal quality of the temporary communication connection when the second status information is received. For example, the temporary communication connection can be a wireless communication connection (e.g., Bluetooth or Wi-Fi), through which the user terminal and the vehicle can directly transmit data. The signal quality of the temporary communication connection is related to the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle. The greater the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle, the worse the signal quality of the temporary communication connection; the smaller the distance, the better the signal quality. For example, the user terminal can detect the signal quality of the temporary communication connection when it receives the second status information. For instance, the user terminal can measure the first signal strength of the second status information. Based on the mapping from signal strength to distance, the user terminal determines the first distance corresponding to the first signal strength, which is the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle.

[0104] For example, the signal strength to distance mapping described above can be obtained by the user terminal when establishing the temporary communication connection and pre-stored in the user terminal's non-volatile memory. When the user terminal measures the first signal strength and needs to determine the first distance, the user terminal can retrieve the signal strength to distance mapping from the user terminal's non-volatile memory, and determine the first distance corresponding to the first signal strength based on the signal strength to distance mapping, thereby determining the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle.

[0105] In one possible implementation, after determining the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection in step 204, Figure 2 The method shown may also include the following steps:

[0106] If the distance exceeds the distance threshold, a prompt message is output to indicate to the user whether to stop using the vehicle.

[0107] For example, the aforementioned distance threshold can be preset by the user terminal, such as one kilometer. If the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle exceeds this distance threshold, the user terminal can output a prompt message to indicate to the user that the current distance to the vehicle is too far and whether to stop using the vehicle. For example, the user terminal can output the prompt: "Currently too far from the vehicle, do you wish to continue using the vehicle?"

[0108] In this embodiment, when the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is greater than a distance threshold, a prompt message is output to remind the user that the distance to the vehicle is too far and whether to stop using the vehicle. This timely prompt can improve the user experience, thereby preventing the user from unnecessarily occupying the vehicle and increasing the utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0109] 205. Based on the above distance, determine the time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time.

[0110] For example, the first acquisition time is the time when the user terminal obtains the first status information, and the second acquisition time is the time when the user terminal obtains the second status information. The time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time is inversely proportional to the distance. The greater the distance, the smaller the time interval; the smaller the distance, the larger the time interval. When the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is large, the user terminal can obtain the vehicle's status information more frequently, so as to promptly notify the user when the vehicle's status is abnormal.

[0111] It is understandable that the user terminal determines the time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time based on its distance from the vehicle, that is, the user terminal determines the first acquisition time for acquiring the first status information based on its distance from the vehicle.

[0112] 206. Obtain the vehicle's first state information based on a temporary communication connection.

[0113] When the user terminal reaches the first acquisition time at the current time, it obtains the first status information of the vehicle based on the temporary communication connection.

[0114] In one possible implementation, after determining the aforementioned time interval, the user terminal can set a timer to start timing, the duration of which is the aforementioned time interval. If the timer times out, the user terminal sends a first indication message to the vehicle, instructing the vehicle to send the first status information back to the user terminal, and the user terminal also receives the first status information returned by the vehicle.

[0115] In another possible implementation, the user terminal can determine the time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time, and then send first indication information to the vehicle. This first indication information includes the time interval, and is used to indicate the first acquisition time at which the vehicle sends first status information, and to indicate that the vehicle sends the first status information to the user terminal when the current time reaches the first acquisition time. Exemplarily, the first indication information may include either the aforementioned time interval or the first acquisition time.

[0116] 207. If the first state information is abnormal, output an alarm message.

[0117] It is understood that the specific implementation of step 207 can be referred to the relevant description in step 104, and will not be repeated here.

[0118] In this embodiment, the user terminal can determine the time interval between the first acquisition time and the second acquisition time based on its distance from the vehicle. This time interval is inversely proportional to the distance; that is, the smaller the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle, the larger the time interval. When the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle is large, the user terminal can monitor the vehicle's status more frequently, so as to detect abnormalities in the vehicle's status in a timely manner and promptly notify the user, thereby enabling the user to deal with the abnormality of the vehicle in a timely manner and prevent the vehicle from being stolen.

[0119] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This application provides a vehicle status monitoring system as an embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle status monitoring system 30 includes a user terminal 301 and a vehicle 302.
