[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrical components, and specifically relates to an antenna, and more particularly to a vehicle-mounted communication system and a communication method. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle can be charged automatically when it reaches the toll area, but the vehicle needs to establish communication with the server before automatic deduction can be performed. The communication between the vehicle and the server may be blocked due to environmental problems, such as in mountainous areas.

[0003] Therefore, due to the technical problem that the communication between the vehicle and the server is easily blocked in the charging area, resulting in communication interruption, it is necessary to design a new vehicle communication system and communication method.

[0004] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to understand the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute information of the prior art.

On the contrary, the use of the terms "example," "exemplary," and the like is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner.

[0047] Research has found that the disadvantage of the existing technology is that the vehicle can automatically pay the fee when it drives into the toll area, but the vehicle needs to establish communication with the server before automatic deduction of the fee can be performed. The communication between the vehicle and the server may be blocked due to environmental problems, such as communication obstruction in mountainous areas.

[0048] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] Embodiment 1, the disclosed embodiment can provide a vehicle payment system solution and a vehicle-mounted device that are both fast and user-controllable, which can be applied in the ETC system. By solving the balance problem between the user's controllable security of his account funds and the fast payment of the vehicle, various problems that have arisen since the rapid development of ETC can be solved, and the further development and multi-scenario application of ETC can be promoted, including: a vehicle-mounted device, which includes: a digital signature generation module; a quick confirmation module. The digital signature module is a digital signature algorithm, which can be in hardware or software form, such as SSX10-A / B chip, SSF35 algorithm, etc., and its digital signature generation is controlled by the central control unit (control module), and the digital signature generation time is less than 1 second. The data transmission required for digital signature generation does not rely on the generalized Internet, but only requires data transmission within a small local range of the communication module, and can continue to work when disconnected from the Internet. The quick confirmation module is provided with a central control unit, which is electrically connected to buttons, display, communication, power supply and other modules. The quick confirmation module is formed by electronic integration means and a structure that is easy to confirm. The communication is a dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), which is the same as the ETC lane toll communication. The power supply uses a vehicle start-stop design to protect the security of the user account. The button is used for the user to enter the password (only once after starting up) and the quick confirmation function. The display position is not hindering driving and can be regarded as the standard at any time. The digital signature generation module and the quick confirmation module are combined into one by electronic integration means to become a vehicle-mounted device that is easy for users to control and quickly realize the payment function. It can eventually be integrated into the vehicle payment system solution, and a simple physical trigger quick payment operation involving users is added before the vehicle payment, so that the vehicle payment speed reaches a payment speed similar to the current ETC payment speed, which is much higher than the speed of QR code payment, and can also achieve non-complete reliance on network security payment. The vehicle payment system solution can include: a bank's use system solution for the vehicle-mounted device; a charging party's use system solution for the vehicle-mounted device. The on-board device is issued by the bank through the front-end outlets and back-end, and the user's bank account is loaded. The on-board device is installed on the vehicle. The bank outlets are also involved in the maintenance of the on-board device. The bank back-end receives the digital signature and related charging information sent by the charging back-end, verifies the digital signature, and transfers the relevant fees to the charging back-end if it passes, otherwise it refuses to pay the fees. The verification and payment process takes less than 1 second. When the vehicle drives to the charging area, it responds to provide charging information through dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), and displays it on the display screen at the toll booth and the display screen of the on-board device. The user can choose to confirm or refuse. The confirmed digital signature and other related information are submitted to the charging back-end, and then forwarded to the bank back-end. After verification, the bank back-end deducts the money from the user's account and pays it to the charging back-end, and then the charging front desk releases the vehicle, and the vehicle leaves quickly. The entire normal charging process takes less than 3 seconds, and users get a dual experience of controllability and speed.The bank's system solution for using the vehicle-mounted device and the charging party's system solution for using the vehicle-mounted device combine the two subsystem solutions into one through the system application and background connection method of the vehicle-mounted device, thus becoming a vehicle payment system solution that can take into account both speed and user controllability.

[0050] The bank's system solution for the use of vehicle-mounted devices is mainly used to manage vehicle-mounted devices, load user bank accounts, and verify digital signatures and deduct fees in the bank's back office. Most of the system solutions for the use of vehicle-mounted devices by the charging party are the same as the current ETC system, with only different data transmission, and the ETC back office is connected with the bank's back office. The two solutions are connected through the use of vehicle-mounted devices and back office communications to form a large system, which can also be regarded as a supplementary subsystem of the existing ETC system, suitable for the current ETC system upgrade or embedding new payment methods; vehicle payment can take into account both fast and user controllable, solve various problems that arise in traditional vehicle payment, and expand new application scenarios. By using the digital signature function of the commercial secret algorithm, the instantaneous generation function of the device algorithm chip, and then transmitting it through wireless and network, a faster payment speed than QR code payment can be achieved. Advance payment within a certain distance can be made without stopping the car for quick payment. In addition to safe and fast payment, the payee user control function is also added, which allows users to browse detailed invoices, cancel payments, and know the deduction results in real time without subsequent disputes. The on-board device does not rely on the network to generate digital signatures, which is significantly better than other payment methods. It can be submitted later in special circumstances such as no network, and still perform normal payment functions. Compared with the open environment confirmation on the mobile phone, it is safer and more recognized and accepted by banks. It can effectively expand new application scenarios. It can solve problems that cannot be effectively solved at present, such as malicious queue jumping and excessive manual queuing. The solution is easy to deploy and embed in existing systems.

[0051] The digital signature module is responsible for the rapid generation of digital signatures without relying on the network. It is a necessary technical means for the controllable amount of user account and the basic condition for supporting fast payment. The fast confirmation module is responsible for facilitating the user to review the payment information and can quickly confirm it through simple physical triggering, so that the vehicle payment speed is similar to the current ETC payment speed, which is much higher than the speed of QR code scanning payment. The two are combined through electronic integration to become an on-board unit (OBU), which is usually provided to users by bank branches. After the user's bank account is bound to the bank's front-end and back-end systems, it is installed in front of the driver in a suitable position for operation and viewing.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the toll station is equipped with system-related equipment. When a vehicle equipped with a vehicle-mounted device arrives at the toll station charging area, the toll station obtains relevant information from the vehicle-mounted device inside the vehicle, and then starts to provide detailed toll information to the vehicle-mounted device. After receiving the information, the vehicle-mounted device displays it on the device display screen for user review. After the review is completed, the user simply triggers to confirm the payment. The device does not rely on Internet network security to quickly generate a digital signature (the device does not rely on the network to generate a digital signature, which can effectively solve some sudden problems such as poor network of the payee system, ensuring that the payment can be successfully collected at any time), and transmits it back to the front end of the toll collector together with the previous information. The toll collector front end transmits the information to the toll collection backend, which submits the information to the bank verification backend. After the bank verifies, the deduction process is completed, and then the deduction information is returned to the toll collection backend and the toll collection front end. The final information is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device by the toll collection front end and displayed to the payee user for review. The entire payment process is completed quickly within 1-3 seconds, without disputes, and the vehicle drives away. During the road toll collection process, if the user completes the payment in advance within a certain distance, there is no need to stop at the toll booth.

[0053] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle-mounted communication system, including: a communication device, which includes: a base 1 and a rotating plate 2; the rotating plate 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1; an antenna mechanism is provided on a side of the rotating plate 2 close to the top surface of the base 1, and the angle of the antenna mechanism is adjusted by toggling the rotating plate 2; the adjustment of the antenna angle is realized, so that the coverage range and signal strength of the antenna are changed, thereby ensuring communication between the vehicle and the server.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the arrangement of the antenna mechanism is suitable for horizontal polarization and vertical polarization, that is, several rows of antennas are arranged above and below the antenna mechanism; one arrangement is that the antenna in the middle part is horizontally polarized, and the antennas above and below it are vertically polarized; another arrangement is that the antennas in the bottom row are vertically polarized, and the antennas above them are horizontally polarized; for example, a suitable antenna arrangement can be selected according to the driving environment of the vehicle. Three rows of antennas are arranged on the rotating plate 2. In plain areas, the middle row can be selected to be horizontally polarized, and the top row and the bottom row can be vertically polarized. In mountainous areas, the bottom row can be selected to be horizontally polarized, and the other two rows can be vertically polarized; the corresponding antenna arrangement can be replaced according to different situations to ensure the strength and range of the signal, so as to ensure the communication between the communication device and the ETC server.

[0055] The rotating plate 2 can be tilted in the initial state. At this time, the angle between the side of the rotating plate 2 provided with the antenna and the top surface of the base 1 is an obtuse angle. At this time, the state of the rotating plate 2 can increase the coverage of the antenna and facilitate the communication between the antenna and the server; a read-write antenna can be provided in the toll area, and communication is established between the read-write antenna and the ETC server. When the vehicle drives to the toll area, the rotating plate 2 can be manually turned to make the angle between the rotating plate 2 and the top surface of the base 1 become an acute angle. At this time, the signal strength between the antenna and the read-write antenna is increased, ensuring that the vehicle can establish communication with the ETC server, ensuring that data communication and deductions can be carried out, etc.; the communication device is directly installed in the vehicle.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a control module is provided in the base 1, and the control module is electrically connected to a communication module and a display module; the communication module is arranged close to the top surface of the base 1; the display module is arranged on a surface of the rotating plate 2 away from the top surface of the base 1; the control module is suitable for sending and receiving information through the communication module; the communication module is suitable for connecting the antenna mechanism; the display module is suitable for displaying the information sent and received by the control module through the communication module; the communication module can adopt 4G, 5G modules, etc.; the display module can be a display screen; the control module can also be electrically connected to an OBU on-board unit, which can be connected to the ETC server. When the communication module is offline, it can directly connect to the ETC server through the OBU on-board unit, and deduct fees through the ETC network. The communication module may not be able to connect to the ETC server in time. At this time, the ETC network is connected through the OBU on-board unit, so that the communication device can be connected to the ETC server for confirmation and deduction, etc.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, an edge 3 is provided on the top of the rotating plate 2, and the edge 3 extends out from the rotating plate 2 away from the bottom surface of the base 1; a photovoltaic power generation module (solar power generation panel) is provided on the base 1, and the photovoltaic power generation module is connected to a battery; a rotary switch module is connected to the rotating plate 2, and the rotary switch module is electrically connected to the control module; when the rotating plate 2 is in an initial state, sunlight can be reflected on the photovoltaic power generation module to generate electricity; the communication device can be directly connected to the power supply of the vehicle; the edge 3 is located above the display module, and the edge 3 can block sunlight to facilitate clearer viewing of the information displayed on the display module; the display module can have a touch button, or a button module electrically connected to the control module can be provided; the photovoltaic power generation module is tilted to facilitate the reflected light irradiation; the touch button can be a displayed number and a corresponding "√" for confirmation and a corresponding "×" for rejection; a purely digital account number can be entered through the digital buttons, so that different drivers can use the driver's corresponding account number to log in and deduct corresponding money when driving the same vehicle.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the communication device is suitable for establishing communication with the ETC server through the communication module, and the communication device is configured to send vehicle information to the ETC server through the communication module, that is, when the vehicle travels to the toll area at the starting position, the communication device sends the vehicle information to the ETC server; the vehicle information includes: license plate number, payment account, starting point, end point, amount of charge, mileage, parking time and fee category, etc.; the ETC server records the starting position of the vehicle and monitors the vehicle's route in real time; manual confirmation and rejection can avoid situations such as other vehicles taking advantage of the ETC.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in an optional embodiment, when the toll collection area is a road toll station, the communication device sends the vehicle information to the ETC server. After receiving the vehicle information, the ETC server compares it with the historical vehicle information of the vehicle and sends the comparison result to the communication device. The display module of the communication device displays the comparison result. At this time, the rotating plate 2 is toggled to trigger the rotating switch module, and the display result is confirmed or rejected by the rotating switch module. After the rejection, the barrier of the road toll station is closed; when the vehicle travels to the toll station at the starting point, the communication module can establish communication with the read-write antenna and send the vehicle information to the ETC server. The ETC server can compare it with the historical information of the vehicle to determine whether the current account is the same as the historical information of the vehicle. After the judgment is completed, the comparison result is sent to the communication device and displayed through the display module. At this time, the driver can confirm or reject by toggling the rotating plate 2. For example, turning forward is to confirm by turning the rotating switch module, and turning backward is to reject by turning the rotating switch module. When there are other vehicles When using ETC, you can manually refuse, and the barrier will be closed (dropped) to prevent other vehicles from using ETC. At this time, you can manually restart the communication device to resend the vehicle information to the ETC server. At this time, the ETC server determines that the vehicle has returned to the toll station, so as to lift the barrier again to facilitate the vehicle to pass, so as to avoid the situation where other vehicles use ETC and the vehicle that currently lifts the barrier cannot pass through ETC again and can only use the manual channel; the communication device is started synchronously when the vehicle is started, and the account number can be manually entered at this time, so that different drivers can use the corresponding account of the driver to log in and deduct correspondingly when driving the same vehicle. The comparison result sent by the ETC server can facilitate the driver to determine whether to log in to his own account; when the vehicle drives to the toll station, the communication device can use the vehicle's power supply for a long time; when the rotating plate 2 is in the initial state, the communication device can be awakened when the vehicle drives to the toll area. At this time, the rotating plate 2 can be manually rotated to an acute angle with the base 1, so that the communication module and the read-write antenna can establish stable communication.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, when the toll collection area is a non-road toll station, the communication device sends the vehicle information to the ETC server, and the display module of the communication device displays the sent vehicle information. After receiving the vehicle information, the ETC server lifts the barrier. At this time, the rotating plate 2 is toggled to trigger the rotating switch module to confirm or refuse to lift the barrier; the non-road toll station may be a parking lot, etc., at which time the communication device may use a photovoltaic power generation module for power supply; when the vehicle is in the parking lot and needs to enter the parking lot, the vehicle sends the vehicle information to the ETC server, and the ETC server may lift the barrier after obtaining the vehicle information; the entrance and exit of the parking lot are small, and generally there will be no card-rubbing behavior, and at this time only one-way communication from the vehicle to the ETC server is required.

[0061] In an optional implementation, when a vehicle passes through a road toll station, the ETC server monitors the vehicle's driving route in real time, and the ETC server determines the fee that the vehicle needs to pay based on the vehicle's driving route, and the ETC server freezes a corresponding amount in the payment account in real time based on the payment amount of the vehicle; when the vehicle passes the starting point and enters the highway, the ETC server can calculate the fee that the vehicle needs to pay in real time based on the vehicle's route, freeze a corresponding amount in the payment account in real time in advance, and send information to the display module when the amount in the payment account is insufficient, reminding the driver to recharge the payment account; when the vehicle travels to the road toll station at the end point, if the real-time frozen amount in the payment account meets the required payment, the ETC server The server can send payment confirmation information to the communication device and quickly open the barrier so that the vehicle can quickly pass through the toll station. At this time, if there is a situation of using ETC, the driver can turn the rotating plate 2 to refuse to pay to avoid losses. At this time, the ETC server will receive the information of refusal to pay. At this time, the monitoring of the toll station can be retrieved to determine whether the refusal is a malicious refusal to pay. If there are other vehicles using ETC, the deduction confirmation information can be resent to the vehicle and the barrier can be raised after the ETC leaves. If the vehicle maliciously refuses to pay, the deduction can be made directly or the alarm can be processed; when no confirmation or refusal is made within the preset time, the amount frozen in the payment account will be automatically deducted.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, when the vehicle travels to the road toll station at the end point, the communication device sends the vehicle information to the ETC server, and the ETC server feeds back the charging information and the payment account to the communication device. The communication device displays it through the display module and opens the barrier of the toll station. The rotating plate 2 is toggled to trigger the rotating switch module to confirm payment or refuse payment. When payment is refused, the ETC server closes the barrier, and if the communication device does not confirm payment after a preset time, the ETC server automatically deducts the amount frozen in the payment account; by refusing to deduct money, the raised barrier can be dropped to prevent vehicles that use ETC from passing through.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, when the vehicle travels to the non-road toll station at the end point, the communication device sends the vehicle information to the ETC server, and the display module of the communication device displays the payment amount. The ETC server determines the payment amount of the vehicle based on the vehicle information. The ETC server deducts the money from the payment account and then opens the barrier. At this time, if the payment is refused by toggling the rotating plate 2 to trigger the rotating switch module, the barrier will not open; when the vehicle leaves the parking lot, the ETC server determines the parking time of the vehicle and the amount required to be paid by the vehicle through the sent vehicle information, and feeds back to the display module for display. After a short preset time (for example, 10 seconds) after the display, the ETC server deducts the money from the payment account and then opens the barrier to facilitate the passage of the vehicle. If the driver determines that there is an abnormality in the displayed information, such as an error in the payment account, etc., the driver can refuse to pay by triggering the rotating switch module. At this time, the barrier will not open. After re-modifying the payment account and sending new vehicle information, the payment information can be fed back again, and the barrier will be opened after the deduction.

[0064] like Figure 3As shown, the vehicle enters the antenna transmission area at the entrance of the toll collection system (toll station), identifies the vehicle information (including license plate, vehicle type, etc.) and the deduction account (using the user's existing account, no additional account is required) provided by the device in the vehicle, and the system records the starting position and starting time and other information, and can also write relevant information, and the vehicle does not need to stop; when the vehicle drives to the antenna transmission area at the exit of the toll collection system, the vehicle information provided by the device in the vehicle is identified again, and the amount to be paid is wirelessly transmitted to the device in the vehicle. The deduction content is distinguished on the device display screen by the vehicle information or account number to prevent nearby vehicles from being displayed by mistake, and solve the problems of following vehicle interference, malicious side lane queue jumping and evading fees; the user reviews the deduction content, can cancel the payment, and can also trigger confirmation. The payment process is completed in about 1-3 seconds. The user can safely control and quickly pay, and the user can even obtain the account balance change information in real time. The communication device is fixed inside the vehicle and can be equipped with a disassembly self-destruct component. The device has a display screen and digital and function buttons, etc. The device also has wireless communication components of the toll collection system. The device takes power from the vehicle's own power supply as much as possible, which is convenient for automatic power on and off. The core component of the device is the commercial secret algorithm, including various software and hardware system foreground and background management around the commercial secret algorithm; after the vehicle is started, the device is powered on and automatically turned on, and the device (communication device) is in a state where payment information can be received at any time. The user only enters the password once each time the device is turned on; the device receives payment information, compares the vehicle information or account number, displays the payment information for user confirmation, submits payment password related information to the bank backend for verification or postponement, and then the bank backend returns the system whether the deduction is successful, and the system transmits the deduction information or postponement information to the device display screen. The device is in a state where payment information can be received at any time again.This part is the user use of the core component of the device, the commercial secret algorithm; when the vehicle is parked and turned off, the device automatically powers off and shuts down. The next time the vehicle is started, the device password must be entered again to facilitate account modification, etc.; the core component commercial secret algorithm, taking SSX10-A / B and SSF35 as examples, the vehicle payment usage method has changed, different from the original industry regulations, it can also be other algorithms. The payee sends the license plate number, account number, charging type, time, user payment serial number automatically accumulated by the system, amount, payment account number and other information. After receiving the information, the device compares it and displays the vehicle information on the device screen, waiting for the payee user to confirm. The payee user conducts a quick and simple review, can cancel the payment, choose other payment methods, or confirm the payment. The device generates a bank-approved digital signature within 1 second, and the generation process does not rely on the Internet network.
