[0025] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0026] In the context of big data, the demand for setting up geofencing alerts for different vehicles entering different areas is becoming increasingly complex. Current geofencing systems have the following problems in judging vehicle geofencing:

[0027] 1. After setting the radius of the electronic fence, a distance judgment error will occur when using a fixed radius fence.

[0028] 2. When the same vehicle belongs to multiple fences, the fence selection may be incorrect.

[0029] 3. If vehicle data reporting is abnormal, it will cause fence judgment and alarm anomalies.

[0030] To address the above scenarios, a method is designed that uses the real-time geographic location reported by the TBox and then calculates and determines the electronic fence and triggers an alarm based on the preset electronic fence location.

[0031] This application can use preset fences and vehicle-reported location information to determine the status of the electronic fence through algorithms and send alarms according to the configured alarm methods.

[0032] The alarm method, apparatus, vehicle, storage medium, and program product of the electronic fence according to embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an alarm method for an electronic fence provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the alarm method of this electronic fence includes the following steps:

[0034] In step S101, the current location of the vehicle is obtained.

[0035] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can obtain the current location of the vehicle based on global positioning information or other means, so as to facilitate the subsequent identification of the number of electronic fences within the first preset range of the current location.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, before obtaining the current location of the vehicle, the process includes: identifying the driver's actual intention; and selecting the vehicle's geofence and alarm method based on the actual intention.

[0037] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can select the vehicle ownership geofence and alarm method according to the driver's actual intention, so as to meet the user's driving needs.

[0038] It should be noted that this application allows you to select the fence range where the vehicle belongs. Multiple fences can be selected for which the vehicle needs to be alerted. The alert method can be selected via API push, SMS, WeChat, etc., and multiple options are allowed without specific limitations.

[0039] In step S102, the number of electronic fences within the first preset range of the current location is identified, and the alarm electronic fence corresponding to the current location is determined based on the current number of electronic fences.

[0040] The first preset range can be 1km or 2km, and can be set according to the actual situation without specific limitations.

[0041] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can identify the number of electronic fences within the first preset range of the current location, and determine the alarm electronic fence corresponding to the current location based on the current number of electronic fences, so as to control the vehicle to issue an alarm action when the location deviates from the second preset range of the alarm electronic fence.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, determining the alarm electronic fence corresponding to the current location based on the current number of electronic fences includes: if there are multiple electronic fences within a first preset range, and the current location is located within the intersection range of multiple alarm electronic fences, then the electronic fence with the closest distance to the current location relative to the electronic fence boundary is selected as the alarm fence.

[0043] It is understood that, in embodiments of this application, when there are multiple electronic fences and the current location is located within the intersection of multiple alarm electronic fences, the electronic fence with the closest distance to the boundary of the current location relative to the electronic fence can be selected as the alarm fence, thereby determining the alarm fence and improving the user experience.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, selecting the electronic fence closest to the current location relative to the electronic fence boundary as the alarm fence includes: identifying the actual shape of the electronic fence; if the actual shape of the electronic fence is an irregular fence, then obtaining the boundary points of multiple electronic fences; generating a corresponding circumcircle based on the boundary points of each electronic fence; if the current location is located within the intersection range of multiple alarm electronic fences, then calculating the distance from the current location to the center of the circumcircle; selecting the electronic fence corresponding to the shortest distance from the current location to the center of the circumcircle as the alarm fence.

[0045] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can generate circumcircles based on the boundary points of electronic fences of different shapes. If the current location is within the intersection range of multiple alarm electronic fences, the distance from the current location to the center of the circumcircle is calculated, and the resistor fence corresponding to the shortest distance is selected as the alarm fence, which greatly reduces the difficulty of fence determination.

[0046] It should be noted that, with Figure 3 Taking the example of two overlapping irregular fences, if this is extended to more irregular fences, the boundaries of the overlapping parts will become more complex, making conventional fence determination difficult. Now, a circumscribed circle is used to handle the overlapping parts, which greatly reduces the difficulty of fence determination. Furthermore, from a practical application perspective, when a vehicle enters the overlapping area of ​​multiple fences, it indicates that the vehicle has a tendency to enter the actual fence; therefore, this method of determining fence boundaries is chosen for fence alerts.

[0047] Specifically, the multi-fence calculation boundary rules are as follows: (1) Find the circumcircle of each fence and find the center of the circle, as shown in the figure above for fence 1 and fence 2; (2) Calculate the boundary of the intersection of the fences using the circumcircle as the boundary of the new fence to form a new fence 3 (shaded area); (3) Determine whether the current vehicle coordinates are within fence 3. If they are within the new fence 3, calculate the distance between the coordinates and the circumcircle of fence 1 and fence 2, and take the fence with the closest distance as the alarm fence.

[0048] In step S103, if the current location deviates from the second preset range of the alarm electronic fence, the vehicle is controlled to issue an alarm action.

[0049] The second preset range can be 0.5km or 1km, and can be set according to the actual situation without specific limitations.

[0050] It is understood that, according to the embodiments of this application, if the current location deviates from the second preset range of the alarm electronic fence, the vehicle can be controlled to issue an alarm action, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] According to the electronic fence alarm method proposed in this application embodiment, the final alarm electronic fence is determined based on the number of electronic fences, and the boundary of the alarm electronic fence is determined based on the actual shape of the electronic fence. When the current location of the vehicle deviates from the preset range of the alarm electronic fence, the vehicle is controlled to alarm, thereby improving the user experience. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as the irregular boundary of the vehicle's electronic fence causing errors in alarm information, or the inability to determine the alarm boundary of multiple electronic fences leading to a poor user experience.

[0052] The following will combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The alarm method of the electronic fence in this application is described in detail below:

[0053] Step 1, vehicle data acquisition: Each vehicle has a different data reporting device, such as a TBox, for near real-time reporting.

[0054] Step 2, Fence Preset: Configure the preset fence information through the configuration page.

[0055] Step 3, Select the fence range to which the vehicle belongs: Select the fence range to which the vehicle needs to be alerted; multiple selections are possible.

[0056] Step 4, select alarm method: Supports selection of API push, SMS, WeChat, etc., multiple selections are allowed.

[0057] Step 5, Select whether to issue an alarm when the vehicle is stationary: When the vehicle does not report data in real time via TBox, should the fence status be determined based on historical reported data?

[0058] Step 6, Start the electronic fence service: Start the alarm service and calculate multiple fence boundaries.

[0059] Specifically, the multi-fence calculation boundary rules are as follows: (1) Find the circumcircle of each fence and find the center of the circle, as shown in the figure above for fence 1 and fence 2; (2) Calculate the boundary of the intersection of the fences using the circumcircle as the boundary of the new fence to form a new fence 3 (shaded area); (3) Determine whether the current vehicle coordinates are within fence 3. If they are within the new fence 3, calculate the distance between the coordinates and the circumcircle of fence 1 and fence 2, and take the fence with the closest distance as the alarm fence.

[0060] It should be noted that, with Figure 3 Taking the example of two overlapping irregular fences, if this is extended to more irregular fences, the boundaries of the overlapping parts will become more complex, making conventional fence determination difficult. Now, a circumscribed circle is used to handle the overlapping parts, which greatly reduces the difficulty of fence determination. Furthermore, from a practical application perspective, when a vehicle enters the overlapping area of ​​multiple fences, it indicates that the vehicle has a tendency to enter the actual fence; therefore, this method of determining fence boundaries is chosen for fence alerts.

[0061] Step 7: Determine the geofence status based on the vehicle's TBox information and whether to send an alert.

[0062] Next, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an alarm device for an electronic fence according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0063] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of the alarm device for an electronic fence according to an embodiment of this application.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the alarm device 10 of the electronic fence includes: an acquisition module 100, a first identification module 200, and a control module 300.

[0065] The acquisition module 100 is used to acquire the current location of the vehicle; the first identification module 200 is used to identify the number of electronic fences within a first preset range of the current location, and determine the alarm electronic fence corresponding to the current location based on the number of electronic fences; the control module 300 is used to control the vehicle to issue an alarm action if the current location deviates from a second preset range of the alarm electronic fence.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, the first identification module 200 is further configured to: if there are multiple electronic fences within the first preset range, and the current location is located within the intersection range of multiple alarm electronic fences, then select the electronic fence with the closest distance to the electronic fence boundary of the current location as the alarm fence.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, the first identification module 200 is further configured to: identify the actual shape of the electronic fence; if the actual shape of the electronic fence is an irregular fence, obtain the boundary points of multiple electronic fences; generate a corresponding circumcircle based on the boundary points of each electronic fence; if the current location is within the intersection range of multiple alarm electronic fences, calculate the distance between the current location and the center of the circumcircle; select the electronic fence corresponding to the shortest distance between the current location and the center of the circumcircle as the alarm fence.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, it further includes: a second identification module, used to identify the driver's actual intention; and select the vehicle ownership electronic fence and alarm method according to the actual intention.

[0069] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the alarm method embodiment for electronic fences also applies to the alarm device of the electronic fence in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] The alarm device for electronic fences proposed in this application determines the final alarm electronic fence based on the number of electronic fences and determines the boundary of the alarm electronic fence based on the actual shape of the electronic fence. When the current location of the vehicle deviates from the preset range of the alarm electronic fence, the vehicle is controlled to alarm, thereby improving the user experience. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as the irregular boundary of the vehicle's electronic fence causing errors in alarm information, or the inability to determine the alarm boundary of multiple electronic fences leading to a poor user experience.
