[0034] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects are subject to the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user knows and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0035] As briefly mentioned above, existing parking information mainly includes parking address, photos around the car, etc. For parking address, users can generally remember the approximate parking location, but it is often difficult to obtain and remember more precise information such as parking space number. As for photos around the car, they are often photos taken at a certain moment of parking within a certain range, and due to the influence of dim light in the parking lot, the image quality is poor, so it is difficult to provide effective help for users to find parking locations.

[0036] In order to solve or at least partially solve the above problems or other potential problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing information, which uses an on-board sensor (such as an ultrasonic radar, a camera or an on-board satellite positioning system, etc.) on a car to identify a parking space and obtain data such as the positioning information of the vehicle during parking, the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space, and the number information of the parking space. The above data is then compared and processed by a server, so that according to the comparison result, the parking space number information and / or parking location information is output to the user when needed, thereby helping the user to improve the efficiency of finding a car.

[0037] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a vehicle computer, a vehicle computer server (domain controller), a remote server (cloud), or a receiving end on the user side.

[0038] Figure 1 A simplified schematic diagram of a scenario to which the method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied is shown. Figure 1 In the example environment shown, when preparing to park, the user turns on the automatic parking assist system (APA) of the vehicle 100, and then the vehicle 100 drives in the parking lot at a low speed (e.g., less than 20 km / h) and searches for a parking space 101 (this process is also referred to as the search mode hereinafter). When the vehicle 100 finds the parking space 101, the automatic parking assist system can be used to park the vehicle 100 in the target parking space 101 (also referred to as the parking mode hereinafter). It should be understood that Figure 1 The parking scenarios to which the method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied are not exhaustive, and there may be any other appropriate scenarios as long as there is a target location (i.e., parking space 101) for the vehicle 100 to park. Figure 1 The illustrated scenario of parallel parking is used as an example to describe the inventive concept according to the present disclosure. It should be understood that the situations of other scenarios are similar and will not be described separately below.

[0039] Figure 2 An exemplary flow chart of a method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes obtaining the positioning information of the vehicle, the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space, and the numbering information of the parking space. At least according to the acquired position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space and the numbering information of the parking space, the vehicle is matched with the target parking space, and the numbering information corresponding to the target parking space is stored as the parking space numbering information. At least according to the positioning information of the vehicle corresponding to the parking space numbering information (hereinafter also referred to as identification positioning information) and the parking positioning information of the vehicle when the parking is fortified (for example, the vehicle is put into P gear or the handbrake is pulled up or the vehicle is locked, etc.), the validity of the matching between the vehicle and the parking space is verified. According to the verification result of the validity, the parking space numbering information and / or the parking positioning information are selected to be output to the user to indicate the parking position of the vehicle. The above steps will be specifically described below with reference to examples.

[0040] The positioning information of the vehicle refers to the absolute position of the vehicle relative to the geographical elements. For example, in some embodiments, the positioning information of the vehicle may be the latitude and longitude information of the vehicle determined based on the vehicle-mounted sensors (such as the vehicle-mounted satellite positioning system, etc.). After the automatic parking assistance system is turned on, a series of information such as the positioning information of the vehicle may be sent to the server in real time and subsequently processed by the server. The vehicle positioning information may include the positioning information when the vehicle recognizes an available parking space and is ready to park in the parking space (hereinafter also referred to as the identification positioning information) and the positioning information of the vehicle after the parking is completed and the parking defense is performed (such as the vehicle is put into P gear or the handbrake is pulled up or the vehicle is locked, etc.) (hereinafter also referred to as the parking positioning information).

[0041] The position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space refers to the relative position of the vehicle and the parking space when the vehicle is searching for a parking space and parking. In some embodiments, when the vehicle is searching for a parking space and parking, the vehicle's on-board sensors (such as ultrasonic radars, cameras, etc.) detect the environment around the vehicle and identify the parking space in the environment around the vehicle. The position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space is obtained based on the identified parking space and the position of the vehicle. For example, the automatic parking assistance system can accurately and comprehensively search for ground information based on on-board sensors (such as ultrasonic radars, cameras, etc.), and can establish a horizontal rectangular coordinate system or polar coordinate system with the center point of the vehicle as the origin, and assign corresponding coordinates to the four parking angles of the identified parking space.

[0042] The parking space number information may include the parking space number and whether the parking space is available. In some embodiments, the automatic parking assistance system may further analyze the identified parking space based on the vehicle-mounted sensor, for example, determine whether the parking space is available (i.e., whether the parking space is occupied by other vehicles or obstacles) and the parking space number (e.g., text in the parking space in the image obtained by the camera) based on image recognition and other technologies, and transmit the information to the server in real time.

[0043] After obtaining the above information, the server can process the information, strategically match the vehicle with one or more identified parking spaces according to the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space, and determine that the vehicle is parked in a certain parking space.

[0044] Specifically, the server determines whether the vehicle is contained in the parking space based on the relative relationship between the center coordinates (0,0) of the vehicle and the four corner coordinates of each parking space. The positional relationship between the center coordinates of the vehicle and the four corner coordinates of each parking space includes the following situations.

[0045] In the process of using the automatic parking assistance system to park (including the search mode and parking mode mentioned above), if the coordinates of the center point of the vehicle are contained in the rectangle formed by the four corner points of a certain available parking space, it is considered that the vehicle has parked in the parking space. At this time, the server stores the number information of the parking space as the parking space number information.

[0046] If the coordinates of the center point of the vehicle are simultaneously contained in the rectangle formed by the four corner points of multiple available parking spaces, the server selects the parking space closest to the vehicle as the parking space for the vehicle and stores the number information of the parking space as the parking space number information.

[0047] If the coordinates of the center point of the vehicle are simultaneously contained in the rectangle formed by the four corner points of multiple available parking spaces, and there are multiple parking spaces whose distances from the vehicle are less than a predetermined threshold (for example, 0.5 meters), any one of the multiple parking spaces will be used as a parking space for the vehicle, and the number information of the parking space will be stored as the parking space number information.

[0048] If the center point of the vehicle is not included in any parking space, it is considered that the vehicle is not parked in any parking space or there is no accurate parking space in the parking lot, and the server records the parking space number information as empty.

[0049] Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows an exemplary flow chart of the method proposed according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the context of an automatic parking assistance system. Figure 3 As shown and mentioned above, the automatic parking assistance system can work in search mode and parking mode and send corresponding data to the processor. In search mode, the vehicle drives in the parking lot at a low speed and continuously refreshes data to the server. The refreshed data includes sending the vehicle's positioning information (for example, the identification and positioning information of the vehicle when a parking space is found) to the server in real time, the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space, and the number information of the identified parking space, etc.

[0050] After the vehicle speed is 0 and the target parking space is selected (for example, it can be selected by the user or automatically), the automatic parking assistance system enters the parking mode and assists the vehicle in parking. In the parking mode, the vehicle will be parked in the target parking space with the help of the automatic parking assistance system. After parking, the vehicle is put into P gear or the handbrake is pulled or the vehicle is locked, and the vehicle computer sends a parking defense signal to the server. The server records the parking positioning information of the vehicle at this time according to the parking defense signal. The server matches the vehicle with the target parking space according to the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space and the number information of the parking space.

[0051] In some embodiments, in parking mode, there may be a situation where there is no clear parking space in the parking scenario. At this time, the system will maintain the search mode for a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds) after parking defense, and the server will record the parking space number as empty and record the parking positioning information.

[0052] In some embodiments, there may be a situation where the user drives away after parking the car. At this time, the automatic parking assistance system will determine whether the vehicle meets the speed condition (for example, whether the speed is less than 20km / h). When the speed meets the condition, the automatic parking assistance system enters the search mode and provides refresh information to the server according to the search mode mentioned above. When the speed does not meet the condition, the search mode is exited and the parking space number information is retained.

[0053] In some embodiments, various unexpected conditions may occur during the parking process, causing the parking to be interrupted. During the interruption, the server keeps the parking space number information of the target parking space last recorded before the interruption until the abnormality is resolved, and then continues parking. If the abnormality cannot be resolved, the parking mode is exited.

[0054] In some embodiments, the user may also manually exit parking mode during the parking process.

[0055] Specifically, when the user manually exits the parking mode during parking using the automatic parking assistance system, whether to enter the search mode is determined according to the vehicle speed condition (for example, whether the vehicle speed is less than 20 km / h). If the vehicle speed meets the above vehicle speed condition, the search mode is entered, and refresh information is provided to the server according to the search mode mentioned above. If the vehicle speed does not meet the condition, the search mode is exited, and the parking space number information of the last recorded target parking space is retained.

[0056] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows an exemplary flow chart of validating the matching between a vehicle and a target parking space in a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, in some cases, the signal in the parking lot is unstable and there may be a delay in the recognition of the parking space number. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the matched and stored parking space number information. The server compares the positioning information of the vehicle corresponding to the parking space number information (i.e., the positioning information when the vehicle recognizes the parking space) with the parking positioning information when the vehicle is parked and fortified. The comparison results include the following situations.

[0057] If the distance between the vehicle positioning information corresponding to the parking space number information (i.e., the positioning information when the vehicle recognizes the parking space) and the parking positioning information is less than a predetermined threshold (e.g., 200 meters), it is considered that the parking space number information and the parking positioning information of the vehicle parking defense are from the same parking process, and the matching of the parking space number information and the vehicle is valid. At this time, the server will send the parking space number information and the parking positioning information to the receiving end (e.g., the user's mobile device) at the same time after the vehicle is parked and defensed.

[0058] If the distance between the vehicle positioning information corresponding to the parking space number information and the parking positioning information is not less than (greater than or equal to) a predetermined threshold (e.g., 200 meters), it is considered that the parking space number information and the parking positioning information of the vehicle parking defense may come from different parking processes, and the matching of the parking space number information and the vehicle is invalid. In this case, the server will only send the parking positioning information to the receiving end (e.g., the user's mobile device) after the vehicle is parked and defensed.

[0059] After the receiving end receives the parking space number information and / or the parking location information, the user can quickly locate the parking position of the vehicle with reference to the received information, thereby facilitating the user to quickly find a parking space.

[0060] In some embodiments, the parking space number information may also include the geographic information of the parking space reflecting the real geographic location of the parking space, that is, the server processes the vehicle's positioning information and the vehicle's position information relative to the parking space, and maps the positional relationship of the parking space angular coordinates relative to the center point coordinates of the vehicle in combination with the vehicle's positioning information (e.g., longitude and latitude coordinates) on the real geographic location, thereby converting the longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to the parking space angular coordinates. In some embodiments, after receiving the longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to the parking space angular coordinates, the receiving end (e.g., the user's mobile device) may also display the longitude and latitude parameters of these angular coordinates on the receiving end's electronic map, thereby facilitating the user to find a parking space.

[0061] In order to prevent the previous parking space number information from having an adverse effect on the subsequent parking process, in a desired embodiment, some invalid parking space number information (for example, the parking space has been left) needs to be discarded. Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows an exemplary flow chart of discarding parking space number information in a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, when the user ends the parking behavior (for example, restarting the vehicle or releasing the handbrake or locking the vehicle), the vehicle computer sends a parking release signal to the server. After receiving the parking release signal, if the server determines that no new parking defense information (for example, the vehicle is shifted into P gear or the handbrake is pulled up) is received within a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), the stored parking space number information is deleted to avoid the stored parking space number information from interfering with the next parking defense.

[0062] If new parking defense information is received again within a predetermined time (e.g., 5 minutes) (e.g., the user shifts the vehicle into P gear again or pulls the handbrake or locks the vehicle), the parking positioning information during parking defense will be stored as new parking positioning information to display the new parking position.

[0063] Figure 6 A flow chart of a method for processing information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, the method may be implemented by a server or other appropriate device that is communicatively coupled to the vehicle system. For ease of understanding, the specific examples, numbers or values ​​mentioned in the following description are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0064] like Figure 6As shown, in the method executed by the server, in box 604, the server obtains the positioning information of the vehicle during the parking process, the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space, and the numbering information of the parking space. When the vehicle computer turns on the automatic parking assistance system, this information can be automatically uploaded to the server. The parking process here may include the search mode and parking mode mentioned above. Next, in box 602, in response to determining that the position information of the vehicle relative to the parking space indicates that the vehicle is in the parking space, the numbering information corresponding to the parking space is stored as the parking space numbering information. In box 603, determine the difference between the positioning information of the vehicle corresponding to the parking space numbering information and the parking positioning information of the vehicle when the parking is fortified. Finally, in box 604, in response to the difference being less than the threshold difference (e.g., 200 meters), at least one of the parking space numbering information and the parking positioning information is used to indicate the parking position of the vehicle.

[0065] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the difference between the positioning information of the vehicle corresponding to the parking space number information and the parking positioning information of the vehicle when the parking is fortified is not less than a threshold difference (for example, greater than or equal to 200 meters), the parking positioning information is used to indicate the parking position of the vehicle.

[0066] In some embodiments, the server determines whether the parking protection information is received within a predetermined time period after the parking protection release signal is received. If it is determined that the parking protection information is not received, the parking space number information is deleted.

[0067] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the parking forcing information is received again, the server stores the parking positioning information at the time of parking forcing as new parking positioning information.

[0068] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the position information of the vehicle relative to multiple parking spaces indicates that the vehicle is contained in multiple parking spaces, the distances between the vehicle and the multiple parking spaces are compared, and the number information corresponding to the parking space closest to the vehicle is stored as the parking space number information.

[0069] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the difference between the distances between the vehicle and the plurality of parking spaces is less than a predetermined threshold, the number information of any available parking space among the plurality of parking spaces is stored as the parking space number information.
