Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent driving technology, and in particular to a vehicle radar off reminder interaction method, device, and automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vehicles are often equipped with various types of radar, such as millimeter-wave radar, to enable intelligent driving functions. However, when vehicle radar operates, it generates radio waves, which can easily interfere with the normal operation of radio services in the area where the vehicle passes. Therefore, with the development of the automotive industry, the government has issued relevant regulations, such as the "Interim Provisions on the Management of Automotive Radar Radio," to implement regional control over vehicle radar radio.

[0003] In related technologies, vehicles only use simple text instructions to remind users that they need to turn off the vehicle's radar when driving into a controlled area. The above reminder mechanism is too simple, the reminder effect is poor, and it is easy for users to fail to take evasive measures in time, resulting in user losses and affecting the user's driving experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a vehicle radar off reminder interaction method, device, and automobile, which can promptly issue a radar off reminder to the vehicle, with good reminder effect, making it easy for users to take avoidance measures, effectively avoiding losses caused by the user's failure to turn off the radar in time, and improving the user's driving experience.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a vehicle radar off reminder interaction method, including:

[0006] Obtain the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area;

[0007] Based on the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted areas, calculate the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area;

[0008] Based on the interval distance and vehicle driving information, a restricted area that meets the preset conditions is obtained through prediction.

[0009] The distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is checked to see if it meets the preset entry threshold.

[0010] If the preset entry threshold is met, an entry warning will be issued and the radar warning will be turned off.

[0011] In some implementations, obtaining the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area includes:

[0012] Obtain the vehicle's location information;

[0013] Based on the vehicle's positioning information, the location information of a restricted area within a preset range centered on the vehicle is obtained.

[0014] In some embodiments, calculating the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area includes:

[0015] Based on the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area, the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area is calculated at each first time threshold.

[0016] In some implementations, the step of predicting and obtaining a restricted area that meets preset conditions based on the interval distance and vehicle driving information includes:

[0017] Obtain the predicted driving distance of the vehicle within the first time threshold and the area radius of each of the restricted areas;

[0018] The prediction is made based on the interval distance, the predicted driving distance, and the area radius of each restricted area. If the interval distance is less than the sum of the predicted driving distance and the area radius of the corresponding restricted area, then the corresponding restricted area is determined to be a restricted area that meets the preset conditions, and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is obtained.

[0019] In some implementations, the restricted area includes a buffer area.

[0020] In some implementations, whether the distance between the detected vehicle and the restricted area meeting the preset conditions satisfies a preset entry threshold includes:

[0021] At each second time threshold interval, the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is checked to see if it is less than or equal to a preset entry threshold. If so, it is determined that the preset entry threshold is met; where the preset entry threshold is the radius of the corresponding restricted area.

[0022] In some implementations, issuing the radar shutdown alert includes:

[0023] The reminder mode is determined based on the vehicle's driving status at the moment of travel.

[0024] The first radar shutdown reminder is given according to the determined reminder mode, so that the vehicle enters a driving state that allows the second radar shutdown reminder to be sent.

[0025] In some implementations, the method further includes:

[0026] Detect whether the vehicle's driving status at the second moment meets the preset conditions for allowing transmission;

[0027] If the preset conditions for sending are met, a second radar-off reminder will be sent to disable the vehicle's radar function.

[0028] In some embodiments, before obtaining the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area, the method further includes:

[0029] Obtain vehicle power-on information;

[0030] Based on the vehicle's power-on information, the control server sends the location information of the restricted area to the vehicle.

[0031] In some implementations, after issuing the entry alert and disabling the radar alert, the method further includes:

[0032] The distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is checked to see if it meets the preset entry threshold.

[0033] If the preset entry threshold is not met, an exit warning will be issued and a radar warning will be activated.

[0034] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle radar off reminder interactive device, comprising:

[0035] The acquisition module is used to acquire the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area;

[0036] The calculation module is used to calculate the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0037] The prediction module is used to predict, based on the interval distance and vehicle driving information, the restricted area that meets the preset conditions;

[0038] The alert module is used to detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold; if the preset entry threshold is met, an entry alert is issued and the radar alert is turned off.

[0039] In some implementations, after issuing an entry warning and turning off the radar warning, the warning module is further configured to detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets a preset entry threshold; if the preset entry threshold is not met, an exit warning is issued and the radar warning is turned on.

[0040] A third aspect of this application provides a car, comprising:

[0041] Processor; and

[0042] A memory that stores executable code, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the method described above.

[0043] A fourth aspect of this application provides a computer-readable storage medium having executable code stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor of a vehicle, causes the processor to perform the method described above.

[0044] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0045] The technical solution of this application calculates the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area by using the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area. Then, it predicts the restricted area that the vehicle will enter by using the distance, so as to issue a timely reminder to the vehicle to turn off the radar. The reminder effect is good, which makes it easier for users to take avoidance measures and effectively avoids losses caused by the user's failure to turn off the radar in time, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0046] Furthermore, the technical solution of this application can also, during the process of sending a radar off reminder, firstly send a radar off reminder based on the vehicle's driving status at the first moment, so that the vehicle enters a driving state that allows the sending of a second radar off reminder. Then, based on whether the vehicle's driving status at the second moment meets the preset conditions for allowing the sending, send a second radar off reminder, so that the vehicle turns off the radar function. By sending the radar off reminder in the above manner, the reminder effect and safety of the radar off reminder process are greatly improved.

[0047] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0056] Embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0057] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0058] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In related technologies, vehicles only use simple text instructions to remind users that the vehicle's radar needs to be turned off when driving into a controlled area. The radar-off reminder is often displayed in the user manual on the vehicle's infotainment system. This reminder mechanism is too simple and has poor effectiveness. When the vehicle enters a controlled area, users cannot intuitively and quickly know that the vehicle's driving path will pass through the controlled area, and may even forget the radar-off reminder. This can easily lead to users not being able to take timely evasive action, causing losses to users and affecting their driving experience.

[0060] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a vehicle radar off reminder interaction method, which can promptly issue a reminder to the vehicle to turn off the radar. The reminder effect is good, allowing users to take timely avoidance measures and effectively prevent losses caused by the radar not being turned off in time, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0061] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the vehicle radar off reminder interaction method shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0063] See Figure 1 The vehicle radar off reminder interaction method of this application includes:

[0064] S110, obtain the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0065] The vehicle's location information can be the real-time latitude and longitude location information obtained by the vehicle's onboard unit based on positioning technology. Specifically, the vehicle's location information can be obtained by fusing one or more positioning technologies, such as GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning technology, RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning technology, and one or more other positioning technologies.

[0066] The location information of a restricted area can refer to the location information of the controlled area specified in relevant regulations. Specifically, the location information of a restricted area may include, but is not limited to, the center latitude and longitude of the restricted area, the area radius, and other information. It can be understood that obtaining the location information of the restricted area allows us to obtain the location information of the controlled area.

[0067] It should be noted that the number of restricted areas can be one or more. In this application, a restricted area can refer to a radar radio control area as defined in relevant regulations, such as the control area in the "Interim Provisions on the Management of Automotive Radar Radio". Of course, the radar in this application can include, but is not limited to, millimeter-wave radar. It should be understood that the radar radio control area corresponding to the restricted area is generally equipped with radio facilities. Millimeter-wave radar uses millimeter waves to achieve long-range detection; therefore, when a vehicle uses millimeter-wave radar for long-range detection, passing through the aforementioned restricted area may interfere with the normal operation of the radio facilities.

[0068] S120 calculates the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0069] After obtaining the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted areas, the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area is calculated.

[0070] In some implementations, the spacing distance can be the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area.

[0071] In some implementations, the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area can be calculated at preset time thresholds. For example, the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area can be calculated every minute. It is understood that in practical applications, the number of controlled areas is generally small, and repeatedly calculating the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area at preset time thresholds only consumes a small amount of system load.

[0072] S130 predicts and obtains restricted areas that meet preset conditions based on interval distance and vehicle driving information.

[0073] Vehicle driving information may include, but is not limited to, vehicle speed, driving direction, and other information.

[0074] Based on the distance between vehicles and their driving information, the vehicle's path is predicted to identify restricted areas that meet preset conditions. It can be understood that restricted areas meeting preset conditions are considered to be areas where vehicles are likely to pass.

[0075] In some implementations, the prediction process may only consider the average speed of the vehicle. That is, without considering other driving information such as the vehicle's direction, it is assumed that the vehicle is traveling towards the restricted area. In this way, considering only the average speed of the vehicle can make the prediction result obtain the most certain restricted areas that meet the preset conditions, so that the method of this application can provide radar shutdown warnings for a more comprehensive range of restricted areas.

[0076] S140, detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold.

[0077] After obtaining a restricted area that meets the preset conditions, the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is further checked to see if it meets the preset entry threshold. If the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold, the vehicle is considered to have entered the restricted area; otherwise, the vehicle is considered to be outside the restricted area.

[0078] S150: If the preset entry threshold is met, issue an entry warning and turn off the radar warning.

[0079] Once the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has entered the restricted area, and an entry warning will be issued and the radar warning will be turned off.

[0080] In some implementations, the vehicle entry warning and the radar off warning can be two independent warning processes or a single, integrated warning process. For example, a vehicle entry warning may be issued followed by a radar off warning. Alternatively, a single warning may be issued that includes both the vehicle entry warning and the radar off warning.

[0081] In some implementations, to give users sufficient time to respond to the radar shutdown alert, the restricted area in this application includes a buffer zone. That is, the restricted area in this application adds a buffer zone to the area actually specified in the relevant regulations; specifically, the radius of the restricted area in this application is the sum of the actually specified area radius and the buffer distance. The buffer distance can be set according to actual application requirements; for example, the buffer distance can be set to 500 meters.

[0082] In this embodiment, the technical solution of this application calculates the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area using the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area. Then, it predicts the restricted area that the vehicle will enter based on the distance between the detected vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions. Based on the distance between the detected vehicle and the restricted area, the system promptly issues a radar shutdown reminder to the vehicle for the restricted area it is about to enter. The reminder is effective, allowing the user to take avoidance measures and effectively preventing losses caused by the user's failure to shut down the radar in time, thus improving the user's driving experience.

[0083] Figure 2 This is another flowchart illustrating the vehicle radar off reminder interaction method shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0084] See Figure 2 The vehicle radar off reminder interaction method of this application includes:

[0085] S210, obtain the vehicle's location information.

[0086] S220 obtains the location information of a restricted area within a preset range centered on the vehicle, based on the vehicle's positioning information.

[0087] The preset range can be the vehicle's average hourly travel distance. For example, the preset range could be the location information of a restricted area within a 100-kilometer radius of the vehicle. Alternatively, a regional range can be used as the preset range. For instance, the preset range could be the location information of a restricted area within the province where the vehicle is located. By setting a preset range, the location information of restricted areas can be filtered for validity, further reducing the system's computational load.

[0088] It should be understood that if there is no valid location information for the restricted area within the preset range, it means that the vehicle does not need to issue a radar shutdown warning within the preset range. The acquisition of location information for the restricted area centered on the vehicle within the preset range can be repeated at relatively long intervals, for example, every 40 minutes.

[0089] S230: Based on the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area, calculate the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area at each first time threshold.

[0090] By repeatedly calculating the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area at intervals of a first time threshold, the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area can be dynamically calculated as the vehicle's positioning information changes during operation. The first time threshold can be set to a short interval, such as 1 minute.

[0091] S240, obtain the predicted driving distance of the vehicle within the first time threshold and the area radius of each restricted area.

[0092] The predicted travel distance can be estimated based on the vehicle's average speed. In other words, the predicted travel distance within the first time threshold only considers the vehicle's average speed. This means the vehicle's average speed can be the average speed of the vehicle within the first time threshold.

[0093] S250 makes predictions based on interval distance, predicted driving distance, and the area radius of each restricted area.

[0094] Based on the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area obtained within the first time threshold of a single interval, the predicted driving distance of the vehicle, and the area radius of each restricted area, the restricted area to which the vehicle will enter is predicted.

[0095] S260, if the interval distance is less than the sum of the predicted driving distance and the radius of the corresponding restricted area, then the corresponding restricted area is determined to be a restricted area that meets the preset conditions, and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is obtained.

[0096] Let D be the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area. n The radius of each restricted region is R. n If the first time threshold is T1, then the predicted travel distance ΔD can be calculated based on the vehicle's average speed within the first time threshold T1. n If n is an integer, then when D n ≤R n +ΔD nIf the vehicle enters the restricted area within the first time threshold of T1, it is considered that the corresponding restricted area meets the preset conditions.

[0097] S270, at each second time threshold interval, detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is less than or equal to the preset entry threshold. If so, it is determined that the preset entry threshold is met; where the preset entry threshold is the radius of the corresponding restricted area.

[0098] After identifying the restricted areas that meet preset conditions, at every second time threshold, it is determined whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is less than or equal to the radius of the corresponding restricted area, i.e., to determine D. n Is it less than or equal to R? n It should be understood that the above process of determining whether the preset entry threshold is met is performed on all restricted areas that meet the preset conditions; that is, the above process of determining whether the preset entry threshold is met needs to traverse all restricted areas that meet the preset conditions.

[0099] The second time threshold can be set to a shorter time value, such as 1 second. This makes it easier to detect vehicles entering restricted areas in a timely manner, thereby improving the response speed of issuing entry warnings and turning off radar warnings.

[0100] S280: If the preset entry threshold is met, issue an entry warning and turn off the radar warning.

[0101] When the distance between the vehicle and any restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold, it means that the vehicle has actually entered the restricted area that meets the preset conditions. At this time, an entry warning is issued and the radar warning is turned off.

[0102] In this embodiment, the technical solution of this application further reduces the computational load of the system by setting a preset range to effectively filter the location information of the restricted area. In addition, the technical solution of this application detects and acquires restricted areas that meet the preset conditions by setting a first time threshold at each interval, and detects whether a vehicle has entered the restricted area by setting a second time threshold at each interval. This effectively improves the technical solution of this application's ability to detect vehicles entering restricted areas in a timely manner, thereby improving the response speed of the technical solution of this application in issuing entry reminders and turning off radar reminders.

[0103] Figure 3 This is another flowchart illustrating the vehicle radar off reminder interaction method shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0104] See Figure 3 The vehicle radar off reminder interaction method of this application includes:

[0105] S310, obtains vehicle power-on information.

[0106] It is understandable that a power-on signal is generated when the vehicle starts. This power-on signal can refer to the power-on information from the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0107] S320, based on the vehicle's power-on information, controls the server to send the location information of the restricted area to the vehicle.

[0108] The cloud server can store the location information of restricted areas. Based on power-on information, vehicles can send update requests to the server, which then sends the restricted area location information back to the vehicle. It can be understood that the location information of restricted areas stored on the server is updated in real time according to relevant regulations. For example, when a new regulation is issued and a controlled area is added, the server updates the location information of the restricted areas according to the newly added controlled area. Of course, when a new regulation is issued and a corresponding controlled area is removed, the location information of the restricted areas on the server can also be updated synchronously.

[0109] In some implementations, the location information of restricted areas sent by the control server to the vehicle can be stored in the vehicle's in-vehicle infotainment system database, allowing the system to quickly access this information. In other implementations, before sending the location information to the vehicle, the control server can compare the current version of the restricted area location information with the location information of the restricted areas on the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have location information for the restricted areas or its version is outdated, the location information for the restricted areas on the vehicle is then updated. This ensures real-time updates of the location information for the restricted areas on the vehicle while reducing unnecessary data transmission costs.

[0110] S330 obtains the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0111] S340 calculates the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0112] S350 predicts and obtains restricted areas that meet preset conditions based on interval distance and vehicle driving information.

[0113] S360 detects whether the distance between the vehicle and a restricted area that meets preset conditions satisfies the preset entry threshold.

[0114] S370: If the preset entry threshold is met, an entry warning will be issued and the radar warning will be turned off.

[0115] S380 detects whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold.

[0116] When a vehicle enters a restricted area, it issues an entry warning and a radar deactivation warning. To facilitate user control, the system detects whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area meets a preset entry threshold, thus determining whether the vehicle has left the restricted area and issuing a corresponding warning. It should be understood that this process of detecting whether the vehicle has left the restricted area can be continuous; that is, once the vehicle enters the restricted area, it continuously detects whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area meets the preset entry threshold.

[0117] S390: If the preset entry threshold is not met, an exit warning will be issued and a radar warning will be activated.

[0118] It is understandable that when the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions does not meet the preset entry threshold, it means that the vehicle has left the restricted area. At this time, a vehicle exit warning is issued, and a radar activation warning is issued to notify the user and facilitate the operation of radar-related functions of the vehicle, thereby further improving the user's driving experience.

[0119] In this embodiment, the location information of the restricted area is updated from the server to the vehicle based on the vehicle's power-on information. This ensures that the location information of the restricted area used for calculation in the technical solution of this application is updated in real time, thereby improving the reliability of the technical solution of this application. In addition, reminders are given when the vehicle enters and leaves the restricted area, which further improves the convenience of the user's vehicle operation and enhances the driving experience.

[0120] Figure 4 This is another flowchart illustrating the vehicle radar off reminder interaction method shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0121] See Figure 4 The vehicle radar off reminder interaction method of this application includes:

[0122] S410 determines the alert mode based on the vehicle's driving status at the moment of travel.

[0123] In this application, the vehicle's driving state can refer to the vehicle's gear position, and detecting the vehicle's driving state at the first moment can mean detecting the vehicle's gear position at the first moment. Specifically, the vehicle's driving state at the first moment can mean whether the vehicle is in P (Park) gear. It should be understood that it is dangerous for a user to handle matters such as turning off the radar while the vehicle is in motion; therefore, handling matters such as turning off the radar after the user has parked is safer.

[0124] The first moment can refer to the moment when the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is satisfied with the preset entry threshold, that is, the moment when the vehicle enters the restricted area.

[0125] The alert mode for initially disabling the radar alert is determined based on the vehicle's driving status at the first moment.

[0126] S420, based on the determined reminder mode, issues the first radar off reminder to enable the vehicle to enter a driving state that allows the second radar off reminder to be sent.

[0127] In some implementations, the reminder mode includes a first reminder mode and a second reminder mode. When the vehicle is in Park (P) at the first moment, the first reminder to turn off the radar is determined to be performed using the first reminder mode; when the vehicle is not in Park (P) at the first moment, the second reminder mode is determined to be performed for the first reminder to turn off the radar.

[0128] Specifically, the first reminder mode can directly display a reminder on the vehicle's infotainment system that the vehicle has entered a restricted area and that the radar is off. The second reminder mode can first display a reminder on the instrument cluster that the radar is off when parked, and then display the same reminder on the infotainment system's display screen. In the second reminder mode, between the display steps of the radar off reminder on the instrument cluster and the display on the infotainment system, the vehicle's driving status can be checked. If the vehicle is not in Park (P) gear, it can be assumed that the user does not want to proceed to the step of displaying the radar off reminder on the infotainment system's display screen. Thus, after completing the previous step of displaying the radar off reminder on the instrument cluster, the subsequent reminder process can be stopped.

[0129] It is understandable that the vehicle's infotainment system should only display warnings about the vehicle entering a restricted area and the radar being turned off when the vehicle is in Park (P) gear. This ensures that users can safely focus their attention on reading and processing these warnings.

[0130] In this application, the first radar shutdown warning is used to remind the user that the vehicle has entered a restricted area and to turn off the radar. The second radar shutdown warning is used to actually turn off the radar; that is, the warning is given before the radar is turned off. The first radar shutdown warning primarily serves to alert the user and put them in a position where they can effectively turn off the radar, even if the vehicle enters a driving state that allows the second radar shutdown warning to be sent (e.g., in Park). This effectively improves the reliability of the implementation process of the technical solution in this application.

[0131] S430 checks whether the vehicle's driving status at the second moment meets the preset conditions for allowing transmission.

[0132] The second moment can refer to the end of the first radar alert shutdown. The first radar alert shutdown could be automatic after a preset duration, or it could be shut down earlier based on user feedback, such as by the user clicking "OK" or "Ignore".

[0133] Among them, detecting the vehicle's driving status at the second moment can be detecting the vehicle's driving gear at the second moment. For example, the vehicle's driving status at the first moment can be whether the vehicle is in P (park) gear.

[0134] S440 If the preset conditions for allowing transmission are met, a second radar-off reminder is sent to disable the vehicle's radar function.

[0135] When the vehicle's driving status meets the conditions for sending the warning, such as the vehicle being in Park (P) gear, a second radar off reminder is sent to disable the radar function. This second radar off reminder can be displayed directly on the vehicle's infotainment system screen, confirming that the radar is off.

[0136] As we know, radar is generally used in vehicle driver assistance, automatic parking and other intelligent driving functions. When the vehicle is in P gear, the above-mentioned intelligent driving functions are basically inactive. Therefore, turning off the radar when the vehicle is in P gear can ensure vehicle safety.

[0137] In some implementations, the vehicle's radar shutdown function can be controlled based on the user's feedback on the second radar shutdown reminder, such as by the user clicking the "OK" option. Alternatively, the vehicle's radar shutdown function can be ignored based on the user's feedback on the second radar shutdown reminder, such as by the user clicking the "or skip" option or, if no "OK" option is available, skipping or omitting the radar shutdown function.

[0138] After the radar function is turned off, the S450 determines that the vehicle has left the restricted area, issues a vehicle exit warning, and issues a radar activation warning.

[0139] After the radar function is turned off, if the distance between the vehicle and a restricted area meeting preset conditions does not meet a preset entry threshold, indicating that the vehicle has left the restricted area, an exit warning will be issued, along with a radar activation warning. Both the exit warning and the radar activation warning can be displayed on the vehicle's instrument panel. In other words, after the vehicle's radar function is turned off, it can automatically activate the radar function after leaving the restricted area.

[0140] In this embodiment, the technical solution of this application can first send a first radar off reminder based on the vehicle's driving status at the first moment, so that the vehicle enters a driving state that allows the second radar off reminder to be sent. Then, based on whether the vehicle's driving status at the second moment meets the preset sending conditions, a second radar off reminder is sent so that the vehicle turns off the radar function. By sending the radar off reminder in the above manner, the reminder effect and security of the radar off reminder process are greatly improved.

[0141] In addition, the technical solution of this application can also ignore or skip the radar shutdown based on the user's feedback on the reminder content, thus enriching the user's choices and improving the user's vehicle driving experience.

[0142] Figure 5 This is another flowchart illustrating the vehicle radar off reminder interaction method shown in the embodiments of this application. In the method of this application, detecting the vehicle's driving status can be, but is not limited to, detecting whether the vehicle is in P (park) gear.

[0143] See Figure 5 The vehicle radar off reminder interaction method of this application includes:

[0144] S501, determine whether the vehicle is in P gear. If yes, proceed to step S504; otherwise, proceed to step S502.

[0145] S502, Display a reminder to turn off the parking radar on the instrument panel of the vehicle. After the reminder is displayed for a preset duration, proceed to step S503.

[0146] S503, determine if the vehicle is in P gear. If yes, proceed to step S504. If no, do not execute the reminder process.

[0147] S504, the vehicle's display screen shows a reminder that the vehicle has entered a restricted area and that the radar is turned off. After the reminder is displayed for a preset duration or the reminder is turned off in advance, proceed to step S505.

[0148] S505, determine if the vehicle is in P gear. If yes, proceed to step S506. If no, do not execute the reminder process again.

[0149] S506, The vehicle's display screen shows a confirmation message to turn off the radar. If yes, proceed to step S507. If no (ignore or no operation), the reminder process will not be executed.

[0150] The S507 displays a message on the vehicle's infotainment system indicating that the radar is off, and then turns off after a preset duration.

[0151] Corresponding to the aforementioned application function implementation method embodiments, this application also provides a vehicle radar off reminder interactive device, a vehicle, and corresponding embodiments.

[0152] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle radar off reminder interactive device shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0153] See Figure 6 The vehicle radar off reminder interactive device 600 of this application includes: an acquisition module 610, a calculation module 620, a prediction module 630, and a reminder module 640.

[0154] The acquisition module 610 is used to acquire the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0155] In some implementations, the acquisition module 610 can also acquire the vehicle's location information; based on the vehicle's location information, it can acquire the location information of a restricted area within a preset range centered on the vehicle.

[0156] In some implementations, before the acquisition module 610 acquires the vehicle's location information and the location information of the restricted area, it further includes: acquiring the vehicle's power-on information; and, based on the vehicle's power-on information, controlling the server to send the location information of the restricted area to the vehicle.

[0157] The calculation module 620 is used to calculate the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0158] In some implementations, the calculation module 620 can also calculate the distance between the vehicle and the center point of each restricted area at each first time threshold based on the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area.

[0159] The prediction module 630 is used to predict and obtain restricted areas that meet preset conditions based on the interval distance and vehicle driving information.

[0160] In some implementations, the prediction module 630 can also obtain the predicted driving distance of the vehicle within a first time threshold and the area radius of each restricted area; make predictions based on the interval distance, the predicted driving distance and the area radius of each restricted area; if the interval distance is less than the sum of the predicted driving distance and the area radius of the corresponding restricted area, then determine that the corresponding restricted area is a restricted area that meets the preset conditions, and obtain the restricted area that meets the preset conditions.

[0161] The reminder module 640 is used to detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold; if the preset entry threshold is met, an entry reminder is issued and the radar reminder is turned off.

[0162] In some implementations, the reminder module 640 can detect at second time threshold intervals whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions is less than or equal to a preset entry threshold. If so, it is determined that the preset entry threshold is met; wherein the preset entry threshold is the radius of the corresponding restricted area.

[0163] In some implementations, the reminder module 640 may issue a radar off reminder by: determining a reminder mode based on the vehicle's driving status at a given moment; and issuing a first radar off reminder based on the determined reminder mode, so that the vehicle enters a driving state that allows the issuance of a second radar off reminder.

[0164] In some implementations, the reminder module 640 issues a radar off reminder, which further includes: detecting whether the vehicle's driving status at a second moment meets preset allowable transmission conditions; if the preset allowable transmission conditions are met, sending a second radar off reminder to cause the vehicle to turn off its radar function.

[0165] In some implementations, after issuing an entry warning and turning off the radar warning, the reminder module 640 is also used to detect whether the distance between the vehicle and the restricted area that meets the preset conditions meets the preset entry threshold; if the preset entry threshold is not met, an exit warning is issued and the radar warning is turned on.

[0166] In this embodiment, the technical solution of this application calculates the distance between the vehicle and each restricted area by using the vehicle's positioning information and the location information of the restricted area. Then, it predicts the restricted area that the vehicle will enter by using the distance, so as to issue a timely reminder to the vehicle to turn off the radar. The reminder effect is good, which makes it easier for users to take avoidance measures and effectively avoids losses caused by the user's failure to turn off the radar in time, thereby improving the user's driving experience.
