Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a vehicle pseudo-fault implementation method. Background Art

[0002] In life, vehicles are often loaned out, but some car owners cannot find a legitimate reason to refuse when they do not want to lend out their vehicles, which easily puts both parties in an awkward position.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a vehicle pseudo-fault implementation method to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a vehicle pseudo-fault implementation method.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A vehicle pseudo-fault implementation method comprises the following steps: Step 1: The car owner issues the start command Owner operation: The owner sends a command to the vehicle to activate the "vehicle pseudo fault" through a dedicated application or remote control interface on any supported device; Command transmission: The command is transmitted to the vehicle's onboard system via a wireless network; Step 2: The vehicle receives and determines the status Vehicle computer reception: After the vehicle system receives the command to turn on the "vehicle pseudo fault", it performs analysis; Status judgment: The vehicle system uses sensors and GPS to determine whether the vehicle is currently in driving status; Driving state: If the vehicle is in motion, the vehicle system refuses to execute the start command and sends feedback to the owner through the application, informing that the pseudo-fault mode cannot be turned on while the vehicle is in motion; Parking status: If the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle system proceeds to the next step; Step 3: Enable pseudo-failure mode Mode switching: The vehicle system simulates the corresponding fault signal according to the preset pseudo-fault type; Performance method: Engine failure: Through software control, simulate the false impression that the engine cannot start, including the engine fault light on the dashboard and the corresponding alarm sound; Other faults: Depending on the selected pseudo fault type, the vehicle system can simulate tire pressure fault alarm, black screen / flowered screen of central control / instrument, and sensor fault; Step 4: Maintain the pseudo-fault state State retention: In pseudo-fault mode, the vehicle system will continue to simulate the fault state until it receives a shutdown command or the vehicle is restarted; Step 5: The owner issues a shutdown command Owner operation: The owner again sends a command to the vehicle to turn off the "vehicle pseudo fault" through the application or remote control interface on the supported device; Step 6: The vehicle receives and closes the false fault Vehicle computer receiving: After the vehicle system receives the shutdown command, it will analyze it; Mode switching: The vehicle system turns off the pseudo-fault mode and restores the vehicle to its normal state, including clearing all simulated fault signals and alarms; Step 7: Feedback and Confirmation Status feedback: The onboard system sends feedback to the owner through the app, informing them that the pseudo-fault mode has been successfully turned off and the vehicle has returned to normal status.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step one, the car owner first opens an application or remote control interface associated with the vehicle on a smart phone, smart watch, tablet computer or other device that supports remote control. In the menu of the application or interface, the car owner selects one or more pseudo-fault modes as needed. After selecting the pseudo-fault mode, the car owner clicks a confirmation or send button to issue a start command. The command contains the car owner's identity authentication information and the selected pseudo-fault mode information, including password, fingerprint, and facial recognition. Depending on the security settings of the application, the vehicle system will continue to monitor the command signal from the car owner's device and respond immediately after receiving a valid start command. After the command is successfully sent, the car owner's device will display a confirmation message or animation to inform the car owner that the command has been sent and is awaiting a response from the vehicle system.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the step 2, after receiving the instruction, the vehicle computer will perform a series of checks and verifications to ensure the legality and validity of the instruction, including verifying whether the format of the instruction is correct and whether it contains a valid identity authentication letter. If the instruction passes the verification, the vehicle computer will further parse the content of the instruction to determine the type of pseudo-fault mode that the owner wants to turn on. Before executing the operation of turning on the pseudo-fault mode, the vehicle computer needs to judge the current state of the vehicle. The vehicle computer obtains the vehicle status information through the built-in sensor and GPS, including the vehicle speed, engine status, and door lock status. If the vehicle is in a driving state, that is, the vehicle speed is not zero or the engine is running, the vehicle computer considers that it is not suitable to turn on the pseudo-fault mode at this time. If the vehicle is in a parking state, that is, the vehicle speed is zero, the vehicle computer considers that it is safe at this time and can execute the operation of turning on the pseudo-fault mode. If the vehicle is in a driving state, the vehicle computer refuses to execute the instruction to turn on the pseudo-fault mode, and sends a feedback message to the owner through the application program, informing that the pseudo-fault mode cannot be turned on in the driving state, and suggesting that the owner try again after the vehicle stops. If the vehicle is in a parking state, the vehicle computer accepts and executes the instruction to turn on the pseudo-fault mode and enters the next step.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step 3, in order to simulate the fault state, the vehicle will generate and send false fault signals through software control or hardware interface, and these signals will be received by other systems of the vehicle and trigger corresponding fault indications and alarms, which include: Engine failure: The vehicle will simulate the false appearance of the engine failing to start by sending a false start signal or a command that prevents the engine from running normally. At the same time, the engine fault light on the dashboard will also be lit to indicate the fault status; Tire pressure fault alarm: The vehicle can simulate a tire pressure fault by modifying the tire pressure sensor readings or sending a false tire pressure alarm signal, which will cause the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard to illuminate and be accompanied by an audible alarm; Black screen / color screen of central control / instrument: The car will simulate the failure of black screen or color screen of central control or instrument by controlling the power or data signal of the display screen; Sensor failure: The vehicle will simulate various sensor failures, which will cause related systems to fail and display corresponding fault warnings on the instrument panel.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the step four, after the vehicle owner sends the instruction to turn on the pseudo-fault mode, he will receive a confirmation message through the application, which will inform the vehicle owner that the pseudo-fault mode has been successfully turned on and contain detailed information about the currently simulated fault type. In addition to the application feedback, the vehicle's own display screen will also display a message to inform the driver that the vehicle has entered the pseudo-fault mode. When the pseudo-fault mode is turned on, ensure that this function does not have a negative impact on the safety of the vehicle. Even if the vehicle is in the pseudo-fault mode, the emergency braking system, steering system and airbag key safety functions should remain in normal operation. When transmitting instructions and receiving feedback, all data is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access and abuse.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step five, the shutdown command will be transmitted from the owner's device to the vehicle's on-board system via a wireless network. The vehicle will continuously monitor the command signal from the owner's device and respond immediately after receiving a valid shutdown command. After receiving the shutdown command, the vehicle will perform a verification process to ensure the legality and validity of the command, including verifying the format and source of the command and whether it contains valid identity authentication information. Once the command passes the verification, the vehicle will execute the operation of shutting down the pseudo-fault mode. When executing the shutdown operation, the vehicle will stop sending or simulating any signals related to the pseudo-fault and restore the normal working state of each system of the vehicle, including turning off the fault warning light on the dashboard, restoring the normal start and operation of the engine, and restoring the normal display of the central control and dashboard. After the pseudo-fault mode is successfully turned off, the vehicle will send a confirmation message to the owner through the application or the on-board display screen, informing that the pseudo-fault mode has been turned off and the vehicle has returned to normal.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: By actively controlling the vehicle to display a pre-set "fault", car owners are provided with a clever and reasonable way to refuse requests to borrow a car. The traditional direct rejection of a request to borrow a car may hurt the feelings of friends or relatives, causing embarrassment or unhappiness. Through this pseudo-fault method, car owners can use the reason that the vehicle is temporarily unavailable to refuse more tactfully and naturally, reducing the tension in interpersonal relationships.

[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0014] Reference Figure 1-2 , a vehicle pseudo-fault implementation method, comprising the following steps: Step 1: The car owner issues the start command Owner operation: The owner sends a command to the vehicle to activate the "vehicle pseudo fault" through a dedicated application or remote control interface on any supported device; Command transmission: The command is transmitted to the vehicle's onboard system via a wireless network. In step one, the owner first opens the application or remote control interface associated with the vehicle on a smartphone, smart watch, tablet or other device that supports remote control. In the menu of the application or interface, the owner selects one or more pseudo-fault modes as needed. After selecting the pseudo-fault mode, the owner clicks a confirmation or send button to issue an opening command. The command contains the owner's identity authentication information and the selected pseudo-fault mode information, including password, fingerprint, and facial recognition. Depending on the security settings of the application, the onboard system will continue to monitor the command signal from the owner's device and respond immediately after receiving a valid opening command. After the command is successfully sent, the owner's device will display a confirmation message or animation to inform the owner that the command has been sent and is waiting for the response of the onboard system; Step 2: The vehicle receives and determines the status Vehicle computer reception: After the vehicle system receives the command to turn on the "vehicle pseudo fault", it performs analysis; Status judgment: The vehicle system uses sensors and GPS to determine whether the vehicle is currently in driving status; Driving state: If the vehicle is in motion, the vehicle system refuses to execute the start command and sends feedback to the owner through the application, informing that the pseudo-fault mode cannot be turned on while the vehicle is in motion; Parking state: If the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle system will proceed to the next step. In step 2, after receiving the command, the vehicle computer will perform a series of checks and verifications to ensure the legality and validity of the command, including verifying whether the format of the command is correct and whether it contains a valid identity verification letter. If the command passes the verification, the vehicle computer will further parse the content of the command to determine the type of pseudo-fault mode that the owner wants to enable. Before executing the operation of enabling the pseudo-fault mode, the vehicle computer needs to determine the current state of the vehicle. The vehicle computer uses built-in sensors and GPS to obtain vehicle status information, including vehicle speed, engine status, and door locks. If the vehicle is in driving state, that is, the speed is not zero or the engine is running, the car machine thinks it is not suitable to start the pseudo fault mode at this time. If the vehicle is in parking state, that is, the speed is zero, the car machine thinks it is safe at this time and can execute the operation of starting the pseudo fault mode. If the vehicle is in driving state, the car machine refuses to execute the command to start the pseudo fault mode, and sends a feedback message to the owner through the application, informing that the pseudo fault mode cannot be started in driving state, and suggesting that the owner try again after the vehicle stops steadily. If the vehicle is in parking state, the car machine accepts and executes the command to start the pseudo fault mode and proceeds to the next step; Step 3: Enable pseudo-failure mode Mode switching: The vehicle system simulates the corresponding fault signal according to the preset pseudo-fault type; Performance method: Engine failure: Through software control, simulate the false impression that the engine cannot start, including the engine fault light on the dashboard and the corresponding alarm sound; Other faults: Depending on the selected pseudo fault type, the vehicle system can simulate tire pressure fault alarm, black screen / color screen of the central control / instrument, and sensor fault. In step 3, in order to simulate the fault state, the vehicle will generate and send false fault signals through software control or hardware interface. These signals will be received by other systems of the vehicle and trigger corresponding fault indications and alarms, including: Engine failure: The vehicle will simulate the false appearance of the engine failing to start by sending a false start signal or a command that prevents the engine from running normally. At the same time, the engine fault light on the dashboard will also be lit to indicate the fault status; Tire pressure fault alarm: The vehicle can simulate a tire pressure fault by modifying the tire pressure sensor readings or sending a false tire pressure alarm signal, which will cause the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard to illuminate and be accompanied by an audible alarm; Black screen / color screen of central control / instrument: The car will simulate the failure of black screen or color screen of central control or instrument by controlling the power or data signal of the display screen; Sensor failure: The car will simulate various sensor failures, which will cause related systems to fail and display corresponding fault warnings on the dashboard; Step 4: Maintain the pseudo-fault state State retention: In pseudo-fault mode, the vehicle system will continue to simulate the fault state until it receives a shutdown command or the vehicle is restarted. In step 4, after the owner sends the command to turn on the pseudo-fault mode, he will receive a confirmation message through the application. This message will inform the owner that the pseudo-fault mode has been successfully turned on and contains detailed information about the type of fault currently simulated. In addition to the application feedback, the vehicle's own display will also display a message to inform the driver that the vehicle has entered the pseudo-fault mode. When the pseudo-fault mode is turned on, ensure that the function does not have a negative impact on the safety of the vehicle. Even if the vehicle is in pseudo-fault mode, the emergency braking system, steering system and airbag key safety functions should remain normal. When transmitting commands and receiving feedback, all data is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access and abuse; Step 5: The owner issues a shutdown command Owner operation: The owner again sends a command to the vehicle to turn off the "vehicle pseudo fault" through the application or remote control interface on the supported device. In step five, the shutdown command will be transmitted from the owner's device to the vehicle's on-board system via the wireless network. The vehicle will continue to monitor the command signal from the owner's device and respond immediately after receiving a valid shutdown command. After receiving the shutdown command, the vehicle will perform a verification process to ensure the legitimacy and validity of the command, including verifying the format and source of the command and whether it contains valid authentication information. Once the command is verified, the vehicle will execute the operation to turn off the pseudo fault mode. When executing the shutdown operation, the vehicle will stop sending or simulating any signals related to the pseudo fault and restore the normal working status of the vehicle's systems, including turning off the fault warning light on the dashboard, restoring the normal start and operation of the engine, and restoring the normal display of the central control and dashboard. After the pseudo fault mode is successfully turned off, the vehicle will send a confirmation message to the owner through the application or the on-board display to inform that the pseudo fault mode has been turned off and the vehicle has returned to normal. Step 6: The vehicle receives and closes the false fault Vehicle computer receiving: After the vehicle system receives the shutdown command, it will analyze it; Mode switching: The vehicle system turns off the pseudo-fault mode and restores the vehicle to its normal state, including clearing all simulated fault signals and alarms; Step 7: Feedback and Confirmation Status feedback: The onboard system sends feedback to the owner through the app, informing them that the pseudo-fault mode has been successfully turned off and the vehicle has returned to normal status.

[0015] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
