[0018] In the related art, in modern society, camping has become one of the favorite outdoor activities for many people. However, camping in the wild is often accompanied by certain risks, especially the unexpected approach of animals, which may not only pose a threat to the safety of campers, but also may cause damage to the equipment used by them, such as smart cars. Traditional safety protection measures for camping in the wild mainly rely on manual monitoring or setting up physical barriers, such as fences, but these methods are often slow to respond, costly and have limited effects. For example, manual monitoring requires campers or professionals to continuously observe the surrounding environment, which is not only labor-intensive, but also extremely limited in effect at night or in bad weather conditions. Although physical barriers such as fences can block the approach of animals to a certain extent, the installation and maintenance costs are high, and they are not effective for some animals that can jump or fly. In addition, these traditional methods lack intelligence and automation and cannot respond quickly according to real-time situations. For example, once an animal is found approaching, manual monitoring often requires manual intervention to take measures, and this response speed may not be enough to effectively prevent potential threats caused by animals.

[0019] Based on the above problems, the applicant found that: integrating a drone on a vehicle, the drone can detect the surrounding environment of the vehicle in real time over a preset safety area centered on the vehicle; in response to detecting an animal in the preset safety area, a protection strategy is executed; in response to detecting an animal outside the preset safety area, the animal information is obtained, and whether there is a risk is determined based on the animal information, and in response to the existence of a risk, a protection strategy is executed. The surrounding environment is monitored in real time, animals are automatically identified, and corresponding protection measures are taken, thereby effectively improving the safety and convenience of camping.

[0020] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This application provides a vehicle-based safety protection method, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the method is executed by a vehicle controller or a data processor independently provided by the vehicle controller, and the subsequent embodiments are all illustrated by taking the vehicle controller as an example; the vehicle includes a drone; the method includes:

[0022] S101, using the drone to perform real-time detection of the surrounding environment of the vehicle over a preset safety area centered on the vehicle;

[0023] In specific implementation, the preset safety area is a circular or other shaped area centered on the vehicle, according to the location of the vehicle and possible safety needs. The size of the preset safety area can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, in areas where animals frequently appear, the safety area can be set larger. The drone can be equipped with high-resolution cameras and other sensors, such as thermal imagers, to help the drone capture high-quality images and other relevant data. Through real-time monitoring, the drone can quickly identify dynamic changes in the surrounding environment, especially moving objects such as the appearance of animals. The drone can perform 360-degree rotation flight in the air, which enables it to monitor the entire area from multiple angles, reduce blind spots, and improve the comprehensiveness of monitoring. For areas that are difficult for ground equipment to reach, such as steep slopes or dense forest areas, drones can easily enter these areas for monitoring. Drones equipped with thermal imaging technology can work effectively at night or in environments with poor visibility to capture thermal images of animals. In this way, drones not only improve the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring, but also ensure the safety of vehicles and their passengers through real-time data transmission, making outdoor camping safer and more reliable.

[0024] S102A, in response to detecting an animal in a preset safety area, executing a protection strategy;

[0025] In specific implementation, when the drone detects an animal in a preset safety zone, a protection strategy will be executed to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its passengers. The execution of the protection strategy is based on the assessment of the potential threat of the animal. For example, when all users are in the car, the user is prompted to lock the vehicle, and the animal is expelled by the drone and / or the vehicle after the user locks the vehicle; when there is at least one user outside the vehicle, an early warning message is sent to the user to prompt the user to return to the vehicle as soon as possible. The early warning message can be a visual and sound alarm to remind them of the approach of the animal, so that the passengers have enough time to return to the vehicle as soon as possible, and close the windows, lock the doors, etc. If the user does not return to the vehicle within the preset time, the vehicle can be controlled based on the animal's location information to protect the user.

[0026] S102B: In response to detecting an animal outside the preset safety area, obtaining animal information, and determining whether there is a risk based on the animal information; in response to the presence of a risk, executing a protection strategy.

[0027] In specific implementation, when the drone detects an animal outside the preset safety area, it first collects animal information about the animal, including but not limited to the animal's species, size, behavior pattern, and location. Obtaining animal information can usually use machine learning or deep learning algorithms to analyze images or videos captured by the drone to identify the type of animal. Different types of animals may have different behavioral habits and potential threats. At the same time, the behavior of the animal can be observed and recorded to determine whether the animal is aggressive, whether it is moving toward the preset safety area or the user, etc. For example, the distance of the animal relative to the edge of the preset safety area is obtained. When the distance is too small, it indicates that the animal may pose a risk to the user or the vehicle; or the number of animals is obtained; when the number is too large, it is determined that there is a risk. When it is determined that the animal is risky and may cause harm to the user or the vehicle, a protection strategy is executed to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its users, greatly improving the safety and reliability of camping activities.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drone is equipped with a high-resolution camera and other sensors, such as a thermal imager, which can comprehensively monitor the surrounding environment from multiple angles and under various environmental conditions (including at night and in bad weather), so that the drone can detect and identify animals in a timely manner, and can work effectively even in complex or difficult terrain for manual observation. Through real-time monitoring by drones, relevant information about animals can be obtained instantly and responded to quickly, and protective strategies can be implemented when necessary, such as sending alarms and expelling animals. By providing reliable safety measures, campers can enjoy outdoor activities more assured without excessive concern for potential threats posed by wild animals.

[0029] Based on the following embodiments, a detailed description is given on how to implement the protection strategy so as to quickly respond when an animal approaches, promptly notify the user in danger, and take effective protection measures, thereby greatly improving the safety of the user.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the execution protection strategy includes:

[0031] S201, obtaining location information of all users;

[0032] In specific implementation, the user's real-time location can be obtained through a device with positioning function carried by the user (such as a smartphone or a specific tracking device), or wireless network nodes (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) can be deployed around the vehicle or camp to help determine the user's location. When the user's device is connected to these network nodes, the user's location can be estimated through signal strength and triangulation; or the camera on the vehicle or drone can be used for visual monitoring, and the user's location can be identified and tracked through image recognition technology, so that it can work effectively even when the user does not carry any electronic devices. Sound sensors can also be deployed to use sound source positioning technology to determine the location of the user who makes the sound.

[0033] S202A, in response to all users being in the vehicle, prompting the user to lock the vehicle, and after the user locks the vehicle, expelling the animal by using the drone and / or the vehicle;

[0034] In specific implementation, if all users are in the vehicle, the vehicle's internal communication system (such as the vehicle screen, audio system, etc.) will remind users to lock the doors and windows to prevent any external threats from directly entering the vehicle. Once the vehicle is confirmed to be safely locked, external protective measures will be initiated to deal with the detected animals. Drones can be used to directly intervene in approaching animals and can carry equipment for driving away animals, such as playing high-frequency sounds, strong light irradiation or other non-lethal driving tools. The maneuverability of drones enables them to quickly approach the target and conduct precise intervention. The vehicle itself can also be equipped with a system for driving away animals, such as an external speaker system playing specific noises or using the vehicle's lighting system to emit strong flashes to disrupt the animal's senses and prompt them to leave; without harming the animals, they can be effectively driven out of the area around the vehicle to protect the safety of the vehicle and passengers.

[0035] S202B, in response to at least one user being outside the vehicle, sending a warning message to the user to prompt the user to return to the vehicle as soon as possible;

[0036] In specific implementation, if there is at least one user outside the vehicle, a warning message is sent to the user's personal communication device (such as a smart phone). The warning message usually includes a safety warning and an instruction to the user to return to the vehicle immediately. In order to ensure that the information can be noticed immediately, multiple forms of notifications are usually used, such as text messages, application notifications, and sound warnings. In order to maximize the success rate of information transmission, multiple communication channels can be used. In addition to direct mobile phone communication, a sound warning can be issued to the user through the speaker equipped by the drone. In addition to warning users to return to the inside and outside of the vehicle, the warning message can also include the safest return path guidance, especially in complex terrain or low visibility conditions. In addition, if there is an obvious obstacle or a long distance between the user and the vehicle, the user can also be guided to take temporary shelter measures; it can greatly increase the possibility of users taking protective measures quickly when encountering potential animal threats or other emergencies, which not only improves personal safety, but also ensures that camping activities can be carried out in a more controlled and safe environment.

[0037] S203: In response to the user not returning to the vehicle within a preset time period, controlling the vehicle based on the location information of the animal to protect the user.

[0038] In specific implementation, the location information of the animal and the location of the user outside the vehicle are continuously monitored and updated. If the user does not return to the vehicle within a preset time (for example, the preset time can be set to 1 minute), in order to avoid the animal from posing a danger to the user, the vehicle is controlled based on the location information of the animal to protect the user. For example, the vehicle can be automatically controlled to move between the user and the animal to form a physical barrier. The vehicle can be used to block the animal's line of sight or direct path, slowing down or preventing it from approaching the user; at the same time, drones and / or expulsion of approaching animals can be used to urge them to leave.

[0039] In this embodiment, by monitoring the positions of animals and users in real time, it is possible to respond quickly when animals approach, promptly notify users in danger, and take effective measures to protect them, thereby greatly improving the safety of individuals in outdoor activities and ensuring that when users are unable to ensure their own safety, potential risks are minimized through technical means, and users can be effectively protected even in the face of emergencies.

[0040] Based on the following embodiments, how to control a vehicle based on the location information of an animal to protect a user is described in detail, so as to provide timely and effective protection for the user, and take prompt measures before the animal approaches the user and poses a threat, thereby preventing possible dangers.

[0041] In some embodiments, the location information includes a distance between the animal and the user, and controlling the vehicle based on the location information of the animal to protect the user includes:

[0042] Get the distance between the animal and the user;

[0043] In specific implementation, real-time images of animals and users are captured by high-resolution cameras on vehicles or drones, and image processing algorithms (such as deep learning models) can be used to identify animals and human images in the images and estimate their relative distance on the visual plane; or radar or laser rangefinder (LIDAR) technology can be used to directly measure the distance between animals and users.

[0044] In response to the distance being greater than or equal to a first preset distance, controlling the vehicle based on the direction and speed of movement of the animal to protect the user;

[0045] In specific implementation, when the distance is greater than or equal to a first preset distance (exemplarily, the first preset distance can be set to 100 meters), it can be considered that the animal is still relatively far away from the user, and the vehicle can be controlled according to the movement direction and speed of the animal to protect the user. For example, if the animal is moving towards the user at a high speed, the vehicle can be controlled to move between the user and the animal. At this time, instead of using audio to issue a warning sound or using lights to drive away the animal, the animal can be prevented from being frightened and attacking the user when the animal has no intention of attacking the user. Instead, the vehicle is moved between the user and the animal as a barrier.

[0046] In response to the distance being less than a first preset distance, the vehicle is controlled based on the direction of movement and acceleration of the animal to protect the user.

[0047] In specific implementation, in response to the distance being less than the first preset distance, it indicates that the situation is more dangerous. At this time, not only the direction of the animal's movement is considered, but also its acceleration, that is, the change in the animal's moving speed. Compared with the speed, the animal's attack intention can be determined more quickly based on the judgment of the animal's acceleration. For example, an animal that suddenly accelerates toward the user may represent a more direct threat; the vehicle can be controlled to move between the user and the animal. At this time, instead of using audio to issue a warning sound or using lights to drive away the animal, the animal can be moved between the user and the animal as a barrier to avoid the animal being frightened and attacking the user when the animal has no intention of attacking the user. This greatly improves the safety of the user in outdoor activities and reduces possible dangerous situations.

[0048] In this embodiment, by monitoring the distance between the animal and the user in real time and dynamically adjusting the position of the vehicle according to the change in distance, protection can be provided to the user in a timely and effective manner, and measures can be taken quickly before the animal approaches the user and poses a threat, thereby preventing possible dangers.

[0049] Based on the following embodiments, how to control the vehicle based on the direction and speed of movement of the animal to protect the user is described in detail, ensuring that a safety buffer zone is formed between the animal and the user, providing the user with sufficient time and space to react.

[0050] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle based on the direction and speed of movement of the animal to protect the user includes:

[0051] In response to the animal's movement direction being toward the user and the animal's movement speed being greater than or equal to a preset speed, the vehicle is controlled to travel between the animal and the user, and the distance between the vehicle and the user is less than or equal to the distance between the vehicle and the animal.

[0052] In specific implementation, the position and movement speed of the animal are continuously monitored through sensors and tracking technologies (such as GPS, radar or image recognition). When it is detected that the animal is directly heading towards the user and the movement speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed (for example, the preset speed can be set to 5km / h), it indicates that the user is likely to be attacked by the animal. At this time, the vehicle is controlled to travel between the animal and the user, and the distance between the vehicle and the user is less than or equal to the distance between the vehicle and the animal, so as to form an effective barrier between the user and the animal, and the vehicle is close enough to the user so that the user can quickly enter the car to hide in an emergency; effectively protecting the user from the threat of approaching animals.

[0053] In this embodiment, by real-time monitoring of the direction and speed of the animal's movement, it is possible to quickly determine whether the animal poses a direct threat to the user. If the animal moves quickly toward the user, the vehicle is positioned between the user and the animal. This timely response greatly increases the user's safety and ensures that a safety buffer zone is formed between the animal and the user, which not only prevents the animal from directly contacting the user, but also provides the user with enough time and space to react, such as quickly entering the vehicle for shelter.

[0054] Based on the following embodiments, a detailed description is given on how to control a vehicle based on the direction of movement and acceleration of an animal to protect a user. The vehicle is placed between the animal and the user to promptly block or slow down the animal's approach, and expulsion measures are taken using drones and / or vehicles to protect the user's safety.

[0055] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle based on the direction of movement and acceleration of the animal to protect the user includes:

[0056] In response to the animal's movement direction being toward the user and the animal's acceleration being greater than or equal to a preset acceleration, the vehicle is controlled to move between the animal and the user, and the animal is expelled by the drone and / or vehicle.

[0057] In specific implementation, when an animal is detected moving directly toward a user, and its acceleration is greater than or equal to a preset acceleration (for example, the preset speed can be set to 2m / s2), it indicates that the animal's behavior may be aggressive or it is rapidly approaching the user, thus posing a higher threat. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to drive between the animal and the user, and the animal is driven away by a drone and / or a vehicle; the vehicle not only serves as a physical barrier to block the animal's path, but also because the animal is relatively close to the user and the animal's acceleration determines that the animal's behavior may be aggressive or it is rapidly approaching the user, the animal is driven away by a drone and / or a vehicle to ensure the user's safety.

[0058] In this embodiment, by monitoring the acceleration and movement direction of the animal, it is possible to quickly identify that the animal's behavior may be aggressive or that it is rapidly approaching the user. By placing the vehicle between the animal and the user, the animal's approach can be blocked or slowed down in time. By using drones and / or vehicles to take expulsion measures, such as using sound, light or other non-lethal means, the animal's route can be effectively dispersed or changed, thereby protecting the user's safety.

[0059] Based on the following embodiments, how to expel animals by using drones and / or vehicles is described in detail, and the expulsion method is determined according to the type of animal, so as to significantly improve the efficiency and success rate of the expulsion and improve the safety of users.

[0060] In some embodiments, the expelling of animals by drones and / or vehicles includes:

[0061] Obtain animal images, identify the animals, and obtain the animal species;

[0062] In specific implementation, it is first necessary to capture the image of the animal, which is usually done by a high-resolution camera mounted on a drone or vehicle. The camera can be of various types, such as ordinary optical cameras, infrared cameras, or thermal imaging cameras, which can effectively capture the image of the animal under different environmental conditions (such as night or low-light environments). The captured image will be further processed and analyzed, using image recognition technology, such as deep learning algorithms and artificial intelligence models, to analyze the image and identify the animals in it to accurately determine the species of the animal in the captured image. Once the species of the animal is determined, the appropriate expulsion method can be selected according to the species of the animal. Different species of animals may have different sensitivities to different expulsion methods (such as sound, light, or chemical agents). For some animals, sounds of specific frequencies may be particularly effective; for other animals, light of specific colors or intensities may be more likely to attract their attention and cause them to leave; some animals may be more sensitive to specific chemical expulsion agents. Through this precise animal identification and targeted expulsion strategy, not only can animals be expelled more effectively, but also the harm to animals and the impact on the environment can be minimized, thereby increasing the success rate of expulsion.

[0063] Determine an expulsion audio for the animal based on the animal species, and play the expulsion audio through a drone and / or a vehicle to expel the animal;

[0064] In practice, a specific expulsion audio is selected from a pre-set database based on the identified animal species. The database contains sound files of different frequencies, volumes and modes that are effective for various animals. The sound files are based on animal behavior research and use the auditory sensitivity of animals to induce their reaction to leave. For example, some sounds may imitate the calls of natural enemies, or noises that animals instinctively want to avoid. Once the appropriate expulsion audio is selected, it will be played through the audio playback device on the drone or vehicle, ensuring that the sound can cover a sufficient range and effectively achieve the purpose of expelling animals. Drones are very suitable for playing expulsion audio due to their flexibility and ability to approach animals without causing excessive panic. Drones can fly directly into the air near animals, ensuring that the sound directly and intensively affects the target animals. For animals that are close to the ground or sensitive to drones, it may be more appropriate to use a vehicle to play the expulsion audio. Vehicles can be equipped with powerful speaker systems that can play high-intensity audio in different terrains and conditions to disperse animals.

[0065] Determine a repelling light for the animal based on the animal species, and control the repelling light by a drone and / or a vehicle to repel the animal;

[0066] In specific implementation, appropriate repelling light is selected from a preset database based on the animal species. Different animals have different sensitivities and reactions to light. For example, some animals may be sensitive to rapidly flashing red light, while others may be more sensitive to continuous strong light. These data are based on animal behavior research to ensure that the selected repelling light can effectively repel the target animal without causing unnecessary interference to other organisms. Once the appropriate repelling light is selected, the emission of the light will be controlled by lighting equipment equipped on a drone or vehicle. The drone can carry LED lights or other types of lighting equipment, fly near the animal and directly illuminate the light. The maneuverability of the drone enables it to quickly adjust its position and light direction to ensure that the light can effectively cover the animal and produce a repelling effect. For ground animals, a strong light system on a vehicle may be more effective. The vehicle can be equipped with a lighting system that can adjust the angle and intensity to illuminate the animal from different directions to maximize the coverage and influence of the light.

[0067] A repellent for the animal is determined based on the animal species, and the repellent is released by a drone and / or a vehicle to repel the animal.

[0068] In practice, a suitable chemical repellent is selected from a database based on the identified animal species. Repellents are selected based on extensive animal behavior research to ensure that they are effective against specific animals and are as environmentally friendly and non-lethal as possible. For example, pepper spray may be used for some animals, while specific smells or flavors may be used for others. Once the appropriate repellent is selected, it will be released through a spray device equipped with a drone or vehicle. Drones can be equipped with small spray equipment and fly close to the animal to precisely release the repellent. The flexibility and precise control capabilities of drones make them ideal tools for targeted repelling in difficult-to-access areas or for specific animals. For situations where it is necessary to cover a wider area or release a larger amount of repellent, vehicles can be equipped with larger spray systems. Vehicles can move on the ground to release repellents, covering a wider area and ensuring repellent effectiveness.

[0069] In this embodiment, by accurately identifying the animal species and selecting the most effective means of expulsion, the efficiency and success rate of expulsion can be significantly improved. Different animals react differently to different stimuli, and customized expulsion strategies ensure that the most suitable method is used to guide the animal away, thereby reducing multiple attempts and potential failures. The use of targeted non-lethal expulsion methods (such as sounds of specific frequencies, lights of specific colors or patterns, and non-lethal chemicals) reduces harm to animals and improves the safety of camping sites and other outdoor activity areas.

[0070] Based on the following embodiments, how to determine whether there is a risk based on the animal information is described in detail, so as to timely identify and evaluate potential risks, thereby quickly implementing protection strategies and improving user safety.

[0071] In some embodiments, the animal information includes the distance of the animal from the edge of a preset safety zone; and judging whether there is a risk based on the animal information includes:

[0072] Get the distance of the animal relative to the edge of the preset safety zone;

[0073] In specific implementation, the position of the animal can be monitored in real time through positioning technology (such as GPS, radar or optical sensor). Once the animal's position information is obtained, the distance between the animal and the edge of the preset safety area will be calculated.

[0074] In response to the distance being less than or equal to a second preset distance, it is determined that there is a risk.

[0075] In specific implementation, when the distance of the animal relative to the edge of the preset safety area is less than or equal to the second preset distance (for example, the second preset distance can be set to 10 meters), it indicates that the animal is close to the preset safety area. At this time, the animal may pose a danger to vehicles and users in the preset safety area. It is determined that there is a risk, and protective measures are taken to effectively deal with the potential threat of animals to vehicles or users, thereby ensuring the safety of people and property.

[0076] In this embodiment, by monitoring the distance between the animal and the edge of the preset safety zone, potential risks can be identified and assessed in a timely manner, thereby preventing possible dangerous situations from occurring. After determining that a risk exists, a protective strategy can be quickly implemented, greatly improving safety while also protecting the environment and wildlife.

[0077] Based on the following embodiments, how to determine whether there is a risk based on the animal information is described in detail, so as to timely identify and evaluate potential risks, thereby quickly implementing protection strategies and improving user safety.

[0078] In some embodiments, the animal information includes the number of animals; and determining whether there is a risk based on the animal information includes:

[0079] Get the number of animals;

[0080] In specific implementation, the drone is equipped with high-resolution cameras and other sensors, such as thermal imagers, to help the drone capture high-quality images. Image recognition technology can be used to identify the number of animals from the images.

[0081] In response to the number being greater than or equal to a preset number, it is determined that there is a risk.

[0082] In specific implementation, the preset number is set based on historical observations and scientific research on animal behavior in the area. The preset number reflects the critical point at which the number of animals reaches a certain level and may pose a threat to the safety of users and vehicles. For example, in an area where animals often appear, if multiple animals appear at one time, the animals may cause damage to users or parked vehicles. Therefore, when the number is greater than or equal to the preset number, it is determined that there is a risk. At the same time, the preset number can also be determined according to the type of animal: obtain the animal image and identify the animal to obtain the animal species; match the preset number corresponding to the animal species in the pre-set species quantity relationship. For example, when the animal is a large animal or a carnivorous animal, the preset number is smaller, and when the animal is a small animal, the preset number is larger, which can more accurately determine whether the animal will cause danger to the user or the vehicle.

[0083] In this embodiment, by monitoring the number of animals so as to take necessary protective measures before the animal group poses an actual threat, the safety of users' outdoor activities is greatly improved, while also protecting the environment and wild animals.

[0084] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present application can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or server.
