[0035] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise noted, like elements in different drawings represent like or similar elements. The following example embodiments described in the example embodiments are not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of example embodiments. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, and so forth. In other instances, well-known structures have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the application.

[0038] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microprocessor devices.

[0039] In related technologies, if a vehicle needs to brake or turn while driving, the brake lights and turn signals illuminate to serve as a warning. However, if other vehicles or pedestrians do not notice in time, it can easily lead to traffic accidents. Therefore, these technologies have low warning effectiveness and a low safety factor.

[0040] The anti-theft method, anti-theft device, vehicle, and computer-readable storage medium provided in this application can solve the problems existing in related technologies. The following describes embodiments of the anti-theft method.

[0041] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the information interaction of an anti-theft method in an exemplary embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 1 The embodiment shown in the figure includes: S101-S105.

[0042] In S101, the vehicle's microprocessor 110 determines that the vehicle is stolen and generates first control information regarding the signal lights located on the outside of the vehicle; in S102, the microprocessor 110 sends the first control information to the display controller 120; and in S103, the display controller 120 controls the signal lights located on the outside of the vehicle to operate in warning mode according to the first control information.

[0043] For example, if a car door or engine is opened by abnormal means, it can be determined that the vehicle is stolen. In this embodiment, when the microprocessor 110 determines that the vehicle is stolen, it generates control information (denoted as: first control information) regarding the signal lights located on the outside of the vehicle. The first control information will be used to control the signal lights to operate in warning mode. In this embodiment, the signal lights operating in warning mode will serve as a warning to the vehicle thief.

[0044] Exemplary Reference Figure 2 The signal lights are located on the exterior of the vehicle body, specifically on one or more of the A, B, and C pillars. It can be understood that vehicles including a D pillar will also have these signal lights on the D pillar. For example, see reference... Figure 2For the right side of the vehicle: a signal light 210-A is installed on the A-pillar, a signal light 210-B is installed on the B-pillar, and a signal light 210-C is installed on the right side of the C-pillar; for the left side of the vehicle: a signal light 220-A is installed on the A-pillar, a signal light 220-B is installed on the B-pillar, and a signal light 220-C is installed on the left side of the C-pillar; for the rear of the vehicle: a signal light 200-C1 is installed on the rear side of the right C-pillar, and a signal light 200-C2 is installed on the rear side of the left C-pillar. For example, the specific locations of the signal lights on the outer side of the vehicle body are not limited, except for situations such as... Figure 2 Besides the location shown, the signal lights can also be located at other locations on the outside of the vehicle body. Furthermore, the number of signal lights can be determined based on actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 2 The signal lights 210-A or 210-B shown can be light groups composed of multiple light-emitting components. For example, the signal light 210-A contains three rows of light-emitting components, with each row containing 30 light-emitting components, and each light-emitting component can be controlled individually.

[0046] In the embodiments provided in this application, signal lights installed on the outside of the vehicle body can directly and significantly convey different feelings to the user visually. Specifically, the signal lights operating in different modes can convey the feeling corresponding to the response mode to the user. For example, when it is determined that the vehicle is stolen, the signal lights operating in warning mode convey a warning effect, while the signal lights operating in welcome mode convey a welcome effect, and so on.

[0047] For example, different operating modes correspond to different control information. Different operating modes can be associated and stored with their corresponding control information. Thus, when it is determined that the traffic light needs to operate in the target operating mode (any operating mode), the control parameters corresponding to the target operating mode can be determined according to the associated and stored mapping relationship.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, upon determining that the vehicle is stolen, the microprocessor 110 acquires the control information stored for the warning mode, i.e., determines the aforementioned first control information. The control information corresponding to each operating mode includes: traffic light identifiers and display parameters (such as display color parameters and display mode parameters). For the warning mode, the traffic light identifiers are used to enable the display controller 120 to determine the target traffic light to be activated in the warning mode, and the display parameters are used to enable the display controller 120 to control the display color and display mode of the target traffic light. For example, in the first control information corresponding to the warning mode, the traffic light identifiers are the identifiers of all traffic lights on the vehicle, the display color parameter is yellow, and the display parameters and display mode parameter are a frequency of 250 milliseconds / time, meaning that in the warning mode, all traffic lights are displayed yellow and flash at a frequency of 250 milliseconds / time.

[0049] Understandably, the control information corresponding to each working mode of the traffic lights can be set with initial parameters before leaving the factory. In addition, users can also set the parameters themselves according to their own needs, thereby adapting to their personalized requirements.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In S104, if the microprocessor 110 does not receive the unlocking signal of the vehicle within a preset time period, it generates second control information about the alarm; in S105, the alarm is controlled to work by the second control information.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, if the microprocessor 110 does not receive an unlocking signal (such as a car key or an unlocking signal light issued via an unlocking application) for a preset time (e.g., 90 seconds) after the traffic light warning mode is activated, it indicates that the vehicle theft is not due to the owner's misoperation. In this case, control information for the alarm (denoted as: second control information) is generated. This second control information controls the alarm to sound its horn, for example, outputting the alarm information with short, intermittent sounds. Thus, this technical solution combines traffic lights and an alarm to achieve a dual warning effect, thereby alerting car thieves through multiple warning signals while also reminding the vehicle owner.

[0052] Figure 1In the provided technical solution, if it is determined that the vehicle is stolen (e.g., the door or engine has been opened by abnormal means), the vehicle's microprocessor generates first control information regarding the signal lights located on the exterior of the vehicle. Further, the vehicle's microprocessor sends the first control information to the display controller, causing the display controller to control the signal lights located on the exterior of the vehicle to operate in warning mode based on the first control information. If the microprocessor does not receive an unlock signal for the vehicle within a preset time, indicating that the theft is not due to the owner's misoperation, it generates second control information regarding the alarm. This second control information controls the alarm to sound its horn, thereby providing a multi-faceted warning signal to the vehicle thief. In the solution provided by this application, the signal lights and alarm are linked, thus providing diverse alarm methods to enhance vehicle security.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, if an unlock signal for the vehicle is received, it indicates that the vehicle theft may have been caused by the owner's mistaken operation. To improve the accuracy of the judgment and avoid security issues that may result from misjudgment (e.g., the microprocessor judges it as a mistaken operation by the owner when the vehicle has actually been stolen), the following owner authentication process is performed upon receiving the unlock signal for the vehicle.

[0054] For example, the microprocessor can obtain user identity information, such as acquiring the driver's facial features through a camera component, or sending a verification code to an associated terminal and requiring the user to enter that verification code into the vehicle. If the vehicle owner is driving the vehicle, the microprocessor can directly determine that the driver's identity has been successfully authenticated based on the identity information obtained. If the driver is borrowing the vehicle, the owner can authorize the microprocessor to verify the current driver's legitimacy, thereby enabling the microprocessor to determine that the identity authentication has been successful.

[0055] Upon receiving the vehicle's unlock signal and confirming successful identity authentication, it can be determined that the vehicle theft was caused by the owner's misoperation. Therefore, there is no need to use the alarm 130 or the traffic lights to provide a warning, avoiding unnecessary alerts caused by misoperation. In one exemplary embodiment, if the microprocessor 110 receives unlock information before executing S104—that is, within a preset time (e.g., 90 seconds) after sending the first control information—and confirms successful identity authentication using the above embodiment, since only the traffic lights provide an alert in this case, the microcontroller can simply stop the traffic lights. In another exemplary embodiment, after the microprocessor 110 sends the second control information to control the alarm and receives the unlock information, and confirms successful identity authentication using the above embodiment, since both the traffic lights and the alarm are in an alert state in this case, the microcontroller needs to stop both the traffic lights and the alert zone.

[0056] Furthermore, if an unlock signal is received but identity authentication fails, it can be determined that the vehicle's stolen status was not due to the owner's mistaken operation; that is, further verification is still required. Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment controls traffic lights and alarms to achieve a warning function and ensure vehicle safety.

[0057] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the information interaction of an anti-theft method in another exemplary embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 3 The embodiment shown in the figure is... Figure 1 It is executed on the basis of [the previous sentence].

[0058] In S301, if the microprocessor 110 receives the unlock signal of the vehicle and confirms that the identity authentication is successful, it determines whether the vehicle is stationary.

[0059] For example, if an unlocking signal for the vehicle is received within a preset time period (e.g., 90 seconds) after the microprocessor 110 sends the aforementioned first control information, it indicates that the vehicle theft may have been caused by the owner's misoperation. Similarly, to improve the accuracy of the judgment and avoid potential security issues due to misjudgment, the aforementioned owner authentication process is also performed upon confirming that an unlocking signal for the vehicle has been received. Furthermore, if the authentication is successful, it is further determined whether the vehicle is stationary.

[0060] Since the signal lights located on the outside of the vehicle can function not only in warning mode to serve as a warning, but also in welcome mode to serve as a welcome function, when the microprocessor 110 receives the unlock signal of the vehicle, it needs to further determine whether the vehicle is stationary. If it is stationary, it means that the owner is opening the door from outside the vehicle. In this scenario, the working mode of the signal lights is adjusted to welcome mode to achieve the welcoming effect.

[0061] For example, refer to Figure 3 If, after determining that the vehicle is stationary and identity authentication is successful via S301, steps S302-S304 are executed. In S302, the microprocessor 110 generates fifth control information regarding the traffic lights; in S303, the microprocessor 110 sends the fifth control information to the display controller 120; in S304, the display controller 120, based on the fifth control information, controls the traffic lights to stop operating in alarm mode and instead operate in welcome mode.

[0062] The fifth control information mentioned above can be the control information corresponding to the welcome mode. When the display controller 110 receives the fifth control information, it switches the control indicator light from the current working mode (such as the warning mode) to the welcome mode. Of course, in other embodiments, when the display controller 110 receives the fifth control information, it switches the control indicator light from the non-working state to working in the welcome mode.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, the control parameters corresponding to the welcome mode can specifically be that the signal lights are located on the A-pillar and / or B-pillar at the driver's seat, such as... Figure 2 The signal lights are 210-A and / or 210-B; the display color parameter is ice blue, and the display mode parameter is to light up sequentially from bottom to top, with three lights moving in a flowing light pattern, cycling three times, 1 second per cycle. After the cycle ends, all lights gradually brighten, remain bright for 1 second, and then turn off in a curtain-like manner for 0.5 seconds. The total duration of the entire operation is 4.5 seconds.

[0064] In another exemplary embodiment, the control parameters corresponding to the welcome mode can specifically be that the signal light identifier is all the signal lights of the vehicle, such as... Figure 2 All traffic lights in the display parameters are set to ice blue for color and to illuminate sequentially from bottom to top. The lights move in a flowing light pattern in groups of three, repeating three times at 1 second per cycle. After the cycle ends, all lights gradually brighten, remain so for 1 second, and then turn off in a curtain-like manner for 0.5 seconds. The total duration of the entire process is 4.5 seconds.

[0065] For example, continue to refer to Figure 3If the identity authentication is successful and the vehicle is in motion as confirmed by S301, steps S302'-S304' are executed. In S302', the microprocessor 110 generates second control information about the traffic lights; in S303', the microprocessor 110 sends the second control information to the display controller 120; in S304', the display controller 120 controls the traffic lights to stop and operate in alarm mode according to the second control information.

[0066] As described above, if the microprocessor 110 receives the vehicle's unlock signal and confirms successful identity authentication, it indicates that the aforementioned theft state was caused by a misoperation. In this embodiment, it is further determined whether the vehicle is stationary. If it is in motion, it indicates that the owner is not opening the car door from the outside, and there is no need to control the traffic lights to operate in welcome mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the microprocessor 110 generates second control information to stop the traffic lights from operating in warning mode, and the display controller 120 controls the traffic lights to switch from warning mode to a non-operating state based on the second control information.

[0067] Figure 3 In the provided embodiment, within a preset time (e.g., 90 seconds) after the warning mode of the traffic lights is activated, if the microprocessor 110 receives an unlock signal for the vehicle and confirms successful identity authentication, it indicates that the vehicle theft is not due to owner error. Therefore, there is no need to use the alarm 130 or the traffic lights for warning purposes. This ensures a warning effect while also considering user error scenarios, thus improving the user-friendliness of the vehicle anti-theft function. Furthermore, the traffic lights are controlled to execute a welcome mode based on the vehicle's stationary state, making it easier for the owner to find the vehicle and experience the welcoming effect. This effectively ensures vehicle security while also enhancing the user's driving experience.

[0068] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the information interaction of an anti-theft method in yet another exemplary embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 4 The embodiment shown in the figure is... Figure 1 Based on the execution of S104, if the microprocessor 110 receives unlocking information, that is, within a preset time period (e.g., 90 seconds) after the microprocessor 110 sends the aforementioned first control information, if the microprocessor 110 does not receive an unlocking signal for the vehicle, it will control the alarm to sound to strengthen the warning. However, if the unlocking signal is received and the identity authentication is confirmed to be successful under the dual warning of the warning light and the signal light, it can be concluded that the aforementioned vehicle theft status is not caused by the owner's misoperation, and there is no need to achieve the warning effect through the alarm 130 sounding the horn or the aforementioned signal light. Therefore, the execution of S104 is not necessary. Figure 4 The S401 and subsequent steps are shown.

[0069] In S401, if the microprocessor 110 receives the unlock signal of the vehicle and confirms that the identity authentication is successful, it determines whether the vehicle is stationary.

[0070] For example, as described above, in order to improve the accuracy of the judgment and avoid potential security problems caused by misjudgment, the aforementioned owner authentication process is also performed after confirming that the vehicle's unlock signal has been received. And if the authentication is successful, the vehicle is further determined to be stationary.

[0071] Since the signal lights located on the outside of the vehicle can function not only in warning mode to serve as a warning, but also in welcome mode to serve as a welcome function, when the microprocessor 110 receives the unlock signal of the vehicle, it needs to further determine whether the vehicle is stationary. If it is stationary, it means that the owner is opening the door from outside the vehicle. In this scenario, the working mode of the signal lights is adjusted to welcome mode to achieve the welcoming effect.

[0072] For example, refer to Figure 4 If, after determining that the vehicle is stationary and identity authentication is successful via S401, steps S402-S405 are executed. In S402, the microprocessor 110 generates fifth control information regarding the traffic lights and fourth control information regarding the alarm; in S403, the microprocessor 110 sends the fifth control information to the display controller 120; in S404, the display controller 120, based on the fifth control information, controls the traffic lights to stop operating in alarm mode and instead operate in welcome mode.

[0073] The fifth control information mentioned above can be the control information corresponding to the welcome mode. When the display controller 110 receives the fifth control information, it switches the control indicator light from the current working mode (such as the warning mode) to the welcome mode. Of course, in other embodiments, when the display controller 110 receives the fifth control information, it switches the control indicator light from the non-working state to working in the welcome mode.

[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, the control parameters corresponding to the welcome mode can specifically be that the signal lights are located on the A-pillar and / or B-pillar at the driver's seat, such as... Figure 2 The signal lights are 210-A and / or 210-B; the display color parameter is ice blue, and the display mode parameter is to light up sequentially from bottom to top, with three lights moving in a flowing light pattern, cycling three times, 1 second per cycle. After the cycle ends, all lights gradually brighten, remain bright for 1 second, and then turn off in a curtain-like manner for 0.5 seconds. The total duration of the entire operation is 4.5 seconds.

[0075] In another exemplary embodiment, the control parameters corresponding to the welcome mode can specifically be that the signal lights are identified as all the signal lights on the side closest to the driver's seat, such as... Figure 2 All signal lights 210-A, 210-B, and 210-C are set to ice blue in the display parameters. The display mode is set to illuminate sequentially from bottom to top, with three lights moving in a flowing light pattern as a group, cycling three times at 1 second per cycle. After the cycle ends, all lights gradually brighten, remain so for 1 second, and then turn off in a curtain-like manner for 0.5 seconds. The total duration of the entire process is 4.5 seconds.

[0076] Additionally, in S405, the alarm is stopped from sounding via the fourth control information.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 4 If it is determined through S401 that the vehicle is in motion and the identity authentication is successful, then S402'-S405' are executed. In S402', the microprocessor 110 generates second control information about the traffic lights; in S403', the microprocessor 110 sends the second control information to the display controller 120; in S404', the display controller 120 controls the traffic lights to stop and operate in alarm mode according to the second control information.

[0078] As mentioned above, if the microprocessor 110 receives the vehicle's unlock signal and the identity authentication is successful, it indicates that the aforementioned theft state was caused by a misoperation. In this embodiment, it is further determined whether the vehicle is stationary. If it is in motion, it indicates that the owner is not opening the car door from the outside, and there is no need to control the traffic lights to operate in welcome mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the microprocessor 110 generates second control information to stop the traffic lights from operating in warning mode, and the display controller 120 controls the traffic lights to switch from warning mode to a non-operating state based on the second control information.

[0079] Additionally, in S405', the alarm is stopped from sounding via the fourth control information.

[0080] Figure 4In the provided embodiment, if the microprocessor 110 does not receive an unlocking signal for the vehicle within a preset time period (e.g., 90 seconds) after sending the first control information, it activates both the alarm and the signal lights for a dual warning, enhancing the warning effect. Furthermore, if an unlocking signal is received under dual warning conditions, it still indicates that the vehicle theft was not caused by the owner's misoperation, eliminating the need for further warning via the alarm 130 or the signal lights. This ensures the warning effect while also considering user misoperation scenarios, improving the user-friendliness of the vehicle anti-theft function. Furthermore, the signal lights are controlled to execute a welcome mode based on the vehicle's stationary state, facilitating vehicle location and providing a welcoming effect for the owner. This effectively ensures vehicle security while also enhancing the user's driving experience.
