[0035] The above drawings have shown clear embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail later. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] As described in the background art, current cycling helmets are mainly ordinary helmets and helmets with indicator lights. A helmet with indicator lights is a helmet with an integrated indicator light function, for example, a turn signal light or a brake light may be installed on the side and / or back to improve cycling safety.

[0038] Helmets with indicator lights usually have separate buttons to control the indicator lights on the helmets. Therefore, users of electric scooters need to control the indicator lights on the vehicle and the helmet separately, that is, they need to perform two control operations. The operation is cumbersome and may lead to misoperation, increasing the risk of riding.

[0039] To this end, the present application provides an electric scooter, including a control module and a vehicle-side wireless communication module. The vehicle-side wireless communication module can be wirelessly connected to the helmet-side. When the control module on the vehicle-side detects that the preset module on the vehicle-side is triggered to switch to the working state, it can not only control the preset indicator light on the vehicle-side to light up, but also send a preset indicator light lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet-side through the vehicle-side wireless communication module, so that after the control module on the helmet-side receives the preset indicator light lighting instruction, it controls the preset indicator light on the helmet-side to light up synchronously, thereby realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the vehicle-side and the preset indicator light on the helmet-side, simplifying the operation and improving the riding safety.

[0040] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0041] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a riding control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the riding control system includes an electric scooter 10 and a helmet 20. The electric scooter 10 may include an electric two-wheeled vehicle such as an electric car, an electric scooter, an electric motorcycle, or an electric tricycle.

[0042] The electric scooter 10 includes a preset module, a control module, a preset indicator light, and a wireless communication module on the vehicle side, and the helmet 20 includes a control module, a preset indicator light, and a wireless communication module on the helmet side. The preset module may include a brake module, and at least one preset indicator light in the steering module includes at least one of a brake light, a left turn light, and a right turn light.

[0043] The control module on the electric scooter 10 can detect the status of the preset module on the electric scooter 10. When the control module on the electric scooter 10 detects that the preset module on the electric scooter 10 is triggered to switch to the working state, the control module on the electric scooter 10 can control the preset indicator light on the electric scooter 10 to light up, and at the same time, send a preset indicator light lighting instruction to the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet 20 through the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the electric scooter 10. The preset indicator light lighting instruction may include any one of a brake light lighting instruction, a left turn light lighting instruction, and a right turn light lighting instruction.

[0044] After the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet 20 receives the preset indicator light lighting instruction sent by the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the electric scooter 10, the preset indicator light lighting instruction is sent to the control module on the helmet 20. After receiving the preset indicator light lighting instruction, the control module on the helmet 20 controls the preset indicator light on the helmet 20 to light up synchronously, so that the preset indicator light on the electric scooter 10 and the preset indicator light on the helmet 20 are lit synchronously, realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the electric scooter 10 and the preset indicator light on the helmet 20.

[0045] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an electric scooter provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a partial schematic diagram of an electric scooter provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electric scooter 10 provided in this embodiment includes:

[0046] A preset module, a control module 103, a preset indicator light, and a vehicle-side wireless communication module located on the vehicle side;

[0047] The vehicle-side wireless communication module is used to establish a wireless communication connection with the helmet-side;

[0048] The control module 103 on the vehicle end is used to control the preset indicator light on the vehicle end when it is detected that the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, and wirelessly send the preset indicator light-on instruction to the control module on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light-on instruction, the preset indicator light on the helmet end is controlled to light up synchronously;

[0049] The preset module includes at least one of a braking module 101 and a steering module 102 .

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, when the control module 103 on the vehicle end detects that the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, it not only controls the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to light up, but also sends a preset indicator light lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that the control module on the helmet end can notify the preset indicator light on the helmet end to light up synchronously, so that when the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end can be controlled to light up synchronously, thereby realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end, and there is no need to perform two control operations on the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end, thereby simplifying the operation and improving riding safety.

[0051] For example, when the preset module includes a brake module, the preset indicator light may include a brake light; when the preset module includes a turn module, the preset indicator light may include a left turn light or a right turn light. The preset module may also include a lighting module, and the preset indicator light may include a lighting lamp.

[0052] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the preset indicator lights on the vehicle end and the preset indicator lights on the helmet end both include brake lights. The control module 103 on the vehicle end is used to control the brake lights 106 on the vehicle end to light up when it detects that the brake module 101 on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, and wirelessly sends a brake light lighting instruction to the control module 201 on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that after the control module 201 on the helmet end receives the brake light lighting instruction, it controls the brake lights 204 on the helmet end to light up synchronously, so that when the vehicle end is in the braking state, the brake lights 106 on the vehicle end and the brake lights 204 on the helmet end can be lit synchronously.

[0053] Specifically, when the control module 103 on the vehicle side detects that the brake module 101 on the vehicle side is triggered to switch to the working state, it controls the brake light 106 on the vehicle side to light up, and sends a brake light lighting instruction to the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side through the vehicle-side wireless communication module. The helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side sends the brake light lighting instruction to the control module 201 on the helmet side, so that after the control module 201 on the helmet side receives the brake light lighting instruction, it controls the brake light 204 on the helmet side to light up synchronously.

[0054] For example, the brake module 101 is triggered to switch to the working state, which indicates that the vehicle end is in the braking state. When the vehicle end is in the braking state, the vehicle end slows down or stops. Correspondingly, when the brake light 106 on the vehicle end and the brake light 204 on the helmet end are synchronously lit, it can be indicated that the vehicle end is in the braking state.

[0055] The brake module may include a brake lever and a brake assembly located on the handlebar. The brake module may be triggered to switch to a working state, and the user may squeeze the squeeze lever so that the brake assembly applies a counter-braking force to the wheel to slow down the rotation speed of the wheel, so that the wheel slows down or stops. The counter-braking force applied by the brake assembly to the wheel is related to the squeezing force applied to the brake lever. The greater the squeezing force applied to the brake lever, the greater the counter-braking force applied by the brake assembly to the wheel, which can stop the vehicle completely; the smaller the squeezing force applied to the brake lever, the smaller the counter-braking force applied by the brake assembly to the wheel, which can slow down the vehicle. The brake assembly may include a brake block, which may clamp the wheel rim to apply friction to the wheel rim.

[0056] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the preset indicator lights on the vehicle end and the preset indicator lights on the helmet end may both include left turn lights. The control module 103 on the vehicle end is also used to control the left turn light 105 on the vehicle end to light up when detecting that the steering module 102 on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the left turn working state, and wirelessly send a left turn light lighting instruction to the control module 201 on the helmet end, so that after the control module 201 on the helmet end receives the left turn light lighting instruction, it controls the left turn light 202 on the helmet end to light up synchronously, so that when the vehicle end is in a left turn state, the left turn light 105 on the vehicle end and the left turn light 202 on the helmet end can be lit synchronously.

[0057] For example, the steering module 102 is triggered to switch to the left turn working state, which can indicate that the vehicle end is in a left turn state, and the vehicle end in a left turn state can include about to turn left, turning left, about to turn around, turning around, about to overtake, or overtaking. Correspondingly, when the left turn light 105 on the vehicle end and the left turn light 202 on the helmet end are lit synchronously, it can indicate that the vehicle end is about to turn left, turning left, about to turn around, turning around, about to overtake, or overtaking.

[0058] The specific status of the vehicle end can be determined in combination with the road conditions. For example, when the vehicle end is in a straight lane, the left turn light 105 on the vehicle end and the left turn light 202 on the helmet end are lit synchronously, which can indicate that the vehicle end is about to overtake or is overtaking. For another example, when the vehicle end is in a left turn lane, the left turn light 105 on the vehicle end and the left turn light 202 on the helmet end are lit synchronously, which can indicate that the vehicle end is about to turn left or is turning left.

[0059] The steering module 102 may include a toggle switch, and the steering module 102 being triggered to switch to the left turn working state may include that the toggle switch is toggled to the left by the user, or is pressed to the left. The user may toggle the toggle switch to the left or press the toggle switch to the left, so that the steering module 102 is triggered to switch to the left turn working state. The steering module 102 may also include a push switch, and the steering module 102 being triggered to switch to the left turn working state may include that the push switch is pressed once, twice, long, or short by the user.

[0060] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the preset indicator lights on the vehicle end and the preset indicator lights on the helmet end may both include right turn lights. The control module 103 on the vehicle end is also used to control the right turn light 104 on the vehicle end to light up when detecting that the steering module 102 on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the right turn working state, and wirelessly send a right turn light lighting instruction to the control module 103 on the helmet end, so that after the control module 201 on the helmet end receives the right turn light lighting instruction, it controls the right turn light 203 on the helmet end to light up synchronously, so that when the vehicle end is in the right turn state, the right turn light 104 on the vehicle end and the right turn light 203 on the helmet end can be synchronously lit.

[0061] For example, the steering module 102 is triggered to switch to the right turn state, which can indicate that the vehicle end is in the right turn state, and the vehicle end in the right turn state can include about to turn right or turning right. Correspondingly, when the right turn light 104 on the vehicle end and the right turn light 203 on the helmet end are synchronously lit, it can indicate that the vehicle end is about to turn right or is turning right.

[0062] The steering module 102 may include a toggle switch, and the steering module 102 being triggered to switch to the right-turn working state may include that the toggle switch is toggled to the right by the user, or is pressed to the right. The user may toggle the toggle switch to the right or press it to the right, so that the steering module 102 is triggered to switch to the right-turn working state. The steering module 102 may also include a push switch, and the steering module 102 being triggered to switch to the right-turn working state may include that the push switch is pressed twice, or once, or is short-pressed, or long-pressed by the user. When the steering module 102 includes a push switch, the implementation method of being triggered to switch to the left-turn state or the right-turn state is not limited, and the two can be different.

[0063] In some embodiments, both the preset indicator lights on the vehicle end and the preset indicator lights on the helmet end may include lighting lamps. The control module on the vehicle end is also used to control the lighting lamp on the vehicle end to light up when it detects that the lighting module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, and wirelessly sends a lighting lamp lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the lighting lamp lighting instruction, it controls the lighting lamp on the helmet end to light up synchronously, so that when the vehicle end is in a dark environment, the lighting lamp on the vehicle end and the lighting lamp on the helmet end can be lit synchronously.

[0064] For example, the lighting module may include a toggle switch or a push switch, and the lighting module is triggered to switch to the working state by toggle switch or push switch. And the lighting lamp can also emit high beam or low beam, and the lighting module can be put into high beam working state or low beam working state by different triggering methods of the lighting module to control the lighting lamp on the vehicle end and the lighting lamp on the helmet end to emit high beam or low beam. Different triggering methods of the lighting module may include toggling the toggle switch to the left and toggling the toggle switch to the right, and may also include pressing the push switch once and pressing the push switch twice, and may also include long pressing and short pressing of the push switch.

[0065] As an implementation method, the brake light on the helmet end can be located on the rear side of the helmet end, the left turn light on the helmet end can be located on the left side of the helmet end, the right turn light on the helmet end can be located on the right side of the helmet end, and the lighting light on the helmet end can be located on the front side of the helmet end.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control module on the vehicle end is also used to control the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to turn off when it detects that the preset module on the vehicle end has switched to a non-working state, and wirelessly sends a preset light off instruction to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset light off instruction, it controls the preset indicator light on the helmet end to turn off synchronously, thereby achieving the synchronous turning off of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end.

[0067] Specifically, the control module on the vehicle end is also used to control the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to turn off when it detects that the preset module on the vehicle end is switched to a non-working state, and send a preset indicator light off instruction to the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end. After the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end receives the preset indicator light off instruction, the preset indicator light off instruction is sent to the helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end. The helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end sends the preset indicator light off instruction to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light off instruction, the preset indicator light on the helmet end is controlled to turn off synchronously.

[0068] In some examples, the preset module includes a brake module, and the brake module being in a non-working state may include the vehicle end being in a normal driving state, a coasting state, an acceleration state, or a parking state. The brake module switching from a working state to a non-working state may instruct the vehicle end to switch from a brake state to a normal driving state, a coasting state, an acceleration state, or a parking state. When the control module on the vehicle end detects that the brake module on the vehicle end is switched to a non-working state, it controls the brake lights on the vehicle end to turn off, and wirelessly sends a brake light off instruction to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the brake light off instruction, it controls the brake lights on the helmet end to turn off, thereby achieving synchronous turning off of the brake lights on the vehicle end and the brake lights on the helmet end.

[0069] For example, the brake module may include a brake lever and a brake assembly located on the handlebar, and the brake module being switched to a non-working state may include that the squeezing rod is released, that is, the squeezing rod is not squeezed.

[0070] In some examples, the preset module includes a steering module, and the steering module switching from the left-turn working state to the non-working state can indicate that the vehicle end switches from the left-turn state to the straight-ahead state. When the control module on the vehicle end detects that the steering module on the vehicle end switches from the left-turn working state to the non-working state, the left-turn light on the vehicle end is controlled to turn off, and a left-turn light turning-off instruction is sent to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the left-turn light turning-off instruction, the left-turn light on the helmet end is controlled to turn off, thereby realizing the synchronous turning off of the left-turn light on the vehicle end and the left-turn light on the helmet end.

[0071] The steering module switches from the right-turn working state to the straight-ahead state, which can indicate that the vehicle end switches from the right-turn state to the straight-ahead state. When the control module on the vehicle end detects that the steering module on the vehicle end switches from the right-turn working state to the non-working state, the right turn light on the vehicle end is controlled to turn off, and a right turn light off instruction is sent to the control module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the right turn light off instruction, the right turn light on the helmet end is controlled to turn off, so that the right turn light on the vehicle end and the right turn light on the helmet end are synchronously turned off.

[0072] For example, the steering module may include a toggle switch. Switching the steering module from a left-turn working state to a non-working state may include the toggle switch being toggled from the left side to the middle, or pressed to the middle, by the user. Switching the steering module from a right-turn working state to a non-working state may include the toggle switch being toggled from the right side to the middle, or pressed to the middle, by the user.

[0073] In some embodiments, considering that the display effects of the same brightness are different during the day and at night, a photosensitive module 107 is also provided on the vehicle end. Figure 3As shown, the photosensitive module 107 on the vehicle end is used to detect the ambient light intensity and send the detected ambient light intensity to the control module 103 on the vehicle end. The control module 103 on the vehicle end is also used to adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end after receiving the ambient light intensity, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the brightness of the preset indicator light based on the real-time signal of the photosensitive module 107, thereby improving visibility and saving power.

[0074] For example, the control module on the vehicle side can be used to increase the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle side to improve the visibility of the preset indicator light when the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the first preset intensity, and to reduce the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle side to save energy when the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to the second preset intensity. The first preset intensity and the increased brightness of the preset indicator light can be determined according to actual conditions, and the second preset intensity and the reduced brightness of the preset indicator light can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, when the light intensity is relatively high from 11 am to 2 pm during the day, the brightness of the preset indicator light is increased, and when the light intensity is relatively low from 6 pm to 4 pm at night, the brightness of the preset indicator light is reduced.

[0075] In other embodiments, considering the small battery capacity on the helmet, the indicator light on the helmet may not be bright enough during the day, or the battery life of the helmet may be short. After the control module on the vehicle side receives the ambient light intensity, the ambient light intensity can be sent to the control module on the helmet side through the vehicle side wireless communication module, so that the control module on the helmet side adjusts the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet side based on the ambient light intensity after receiving the ambient light intensity, so that the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet side can be automatically adjusted based on the real-time signal of the photosensitive module, ensuring a longer battery life under the premise of eye-catching light prompt effects during the day and at night.

[0076] For example, the control module on the helmet end can be used to increase the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end when the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to a first preset intensity, thereby improving the visibility of the preset indicator light; and to reduce the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end when the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to a second preset intensity, thereby saving power and improving battery life.

[0077] As an implementation method, the photosensitive module may include a photosensitive sensor, which can detect the ambient light intensity by sensing the change in light intensity. The photosensitive sensor may include a photosensitive element and a signal processing circuit, the photosensitive element can sense the light in the environment and convert it into an electrical signal, the signal processing circuit can amplify and filter the electrical signal, and send the processed electrical signal to the control module on the vehicle end.

[0078] In some other embodiments, after the control module on the vehicle end receives the ambient light intensity, it can adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end based on the ambient light intensity. At the same time, the ambient light intensity can be sent to the control module on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the ambient light intensity, it can adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end based on the ambient light intensity, thereby realizing synchronous adjustment of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end.

[0079] In some embodiments, the control module on the vehicle side is also used to adjust at least one of the brightness, color and feedback sound of the preset indicator light according to the custom instructions after receiving the custom instructions sent by the mobile terminal, so as to meet the personalized needs of the user and the regulatory differences in different regions.

[0080] For example, the mobile terminal and the vehicle end can establish a wired wireless communication connection or a wireless communication connection, and the wireless communication connection can include, for example, a Bluetooth communication connection, a WiFi communication connection, etc. The mobile terminal can respond to the user's custom request and send a custom instruction to the vehicle end. The mobile terminal can be, for example, a smart terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0081] For example, the mobile terminal can respond to a user's click operation on a preset application on the mobile terminal and display a preset application interface, where the preset application refers to an application associated with the electric scooter. Then, the user can enter preset information in the preset application interface, where the preset information can include one or more of the target brightness of the preset indicator light, the target color of the preset indicator light, and the target volume of the feedback sound. In response to the preset information input by the user, the mobile terminal sends a custom instruction to the vehicle end through the mobile terminal, where the custom instruction includes the preset information input by the user. After receiving the custom instruction sent by the mobile terminal, the control module on the vehicle end adjusts at least one of the brightness, color, and feedback sound of the preset indicator light according to the custom instruction.

[0082] If the preset information includes the target brightness of the preset indicator light, the control module on the vehicle side can adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light to the target brightness according to the target brightness of the preset indicator light in the custom instruction after receiving the custom instruction sent by the mobile terminal. If the preset information includes the target color of the preset indicator light, the control module on the vehicle side can adjust the color of the preset indicator light to the target color according to the custom instruction after receiving the custom instruction sent by the mobile terminal to meet the differences in regulations in different regions.

[0083] The preset information includes the target volume of the feedback sound, and the feedback sound may include at least one of a steering prompt sound, a horn sound, a start prompt sound, a shutdown prompt sound, and a fault warning sound. After the control module on the vehicle side receives the custom instruction sent by the mobile terminal, it can adjust the volume of the feedback sound to the target volume according to the target volume of the feedback sound in the custom instruction.

[0084] In other embodiments, the control module on the vehicle side can also be used to wirelessly send custom instructions to the control module on the helmet side after receiving the custom instructions sent by the mobile terminal, so that the control module on the helmet side adjusts at least one of the brightness, color and feedback sound of the preset indicator light on the helmet side after receiving the custom instructions, so as to meet the user's personalized needs and regulatory differences in different regions.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the control module on the vehicle end can also be used to adjust at least one of the brightness, color and feedback sound of the preset indicator light according to the custom instructions after receiving the custom instructions sent by the mobile terminal, and at the same time wirelessly send the custom instructions to the control module on the helmet end, so that the control module on the helmet end adjusts at least one of the brightness, color and feedback sound of the preset indicator light on the helmet end after receiving the custom instructions, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the brightness, color or feedback sound of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the brightness, color or feedback sound of the preset indicator light on the helmet end.

[0086] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a fall detection module 108 located on the vehicle end. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle fall detection module 108 on the vehicle end is used to detect the vehicle fall signal and send the detected vehicle fall signal to the control module 103 on the vehicle end. The control module 103 on the vehicle end is used to determine that the vehicle fall event occurs on the vehicle end and send a distress signal according to the vehicle fall signal sent by the vehicle fall detection module 108 on the vehicle end when the vehicle end is in the startup state, thereby improving the safety of riding.

[0087] For example, the vehicle crash detection module may include an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a microcontroller. The accelerometer can sense the acceleration changes of the vehicle end in all directions. When the vehicle end is tilted, flipped, or impacted, the accelerometer can sense the corresponding acceleration changes. The gyroscope can measure the angular velocity changes of the vehicle end and can detect the rotational motion of the vehicle end. The microcontroller can receive the acceleration data detected by the accelerometer and the angular velocity data detected by the gyroscope, determine whether the vehicle crash occurs based on the acceleration data and the angular velocity data, and send a vehicle crash signal to the control module on the vehicle end when it is determined that the vehicle crash occurs.

[0088] In some examples, the control module on the vehicle side is also used to, when the vehicle side is in the startup state, determine that a vehicle crash has occurred on the vehicle side and send a distress signal based on the vehicle crash signal sent by the vehicle crash detection module on the vehicle side and the drop signal wirelessly sent by the helmet side when the vehicle side is received through the vehicle side wireless communication module and when the vehicle side receives the vehicle crash signal sent by the vehicle crash detection module on the vehicle side. In this embodiment, considering that the vehicle side is in the startup state, if a vehicle crash occurs, it is more likely to affect the safety of the user. Therefore, when the vehicle side is in the startup state, the vehicle crash is more accurately determined based on the vehicle crash signal sent by the vehicle crash detection module on the vehicle side and the drop signal wirelessly sent by the helmet side, thereby improving the accuracy of the triggered distress signal.

[0089] In other examples, the control module on the vehicle side is also used to determine that the vehicle side itself has fallen and / or the helmet side has fallen when receiving a fall signal sent by the fall detection module on the vehicle side and / or a fall signal wirelessly sent by the helmet side through the vehicle side wireless communication module when the vehicle side is in a non-starting state. In this embodiment, when the vehicle side is in a non-starting state, when at least one of the fall signal and the fall signal is received, it is determined that the unit has fallen to the side or fallen, and there is no need to send a distress signal.

[0090] For example, the vehicle end being in the start state may include the vehicle end being in the riding state, and the vehicle end being in the non-start state may include the vehicle end being in the stationary state or the pushing state. For example, whether the vehicle end is in the riding state may be determined by the moving speed of the vehicle.

[0091] As an implementation method, the control module on the vehicle end is also used to send a distress signal by controlling the indicator light on the helmet end to light up in a predetermined manner, such as controlling at least one indicator light on the helmet end to light up in a flashing manner, controlling all indicator lights on the helmet end to light up, etc.

[0092] As another implementation method, the control module on the vehicle end is also used to send a distress signal by controlling the indicator lights on the vehicle end to light up in a predetermined manner, such as controlling at least one indicator light on the vehicle end to light up in a flashing manner, controlling all the indicator lights on the vehicle end to light up, etc.

[0093] As another implementation method, the control module on the vehicle side is also used to send a distress signal to a mobile terminal connected to the vehicle side, so that the mobile terminal sends a distress signal by making a phone call, for example, the mobile terminal makes a phone call to the mobile phone number reserved by the car owner on the server side.

[0094] Any two of the above three implementations may also be performed simultaneously, or the above three implementations may be performed simultaneously.

[0095] In some embodiments, the control module on the vehicle side is also used to control the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side to output a first power when the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side and the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side are paired for the first time, and to control the vehicle-side wireless communication module to output a second power when the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side and the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side are backconnected and / or in a backconnected state. The first power is less than the second power, so that interference from other devices can be shielded when the vehicle side and the helmet side are paired for the first time. After pairing is completed, within the wireless connection support range, the device is automatically connected when powered on and can be used directly, reducing the difficulty of user operation.

[0096] In some examples, the vehicle-side wireless communication module is a vehicle-side Bluetooth module, and the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side can establish a Bluetooth connection with the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet side. The control module on the vehicle side is also used to control the vehicle-side Bluetooth module to output a Bluetooth signal at a first power when the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side is paired with the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet side for the first time, and to control the vehicle-side Bluetooth module to output a Bluetooth signal at a second power when the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side is back-connected to the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet side and / or is in a back-connected state. When the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side is paired with the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet side for the first time, the vehicle-side Bluetooth module is controlled to output a Bluetooth signal at a first power to shield interference from other devices. After pairing is completed, the output power of the vehicle-side Bluetooth module is increased so that it can be directly back-connected within the wireless connection support range after pairing is completed, thereby reducing the difficulty of customer operation.

[0097] It should be noted that the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module is related to the output power of the vehicle-side Bluetooth module. The greater the output power of the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, the greater the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, and the smaller the output power of the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, the smaller the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module. The effective propagation distance of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module is related to the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module. The greater the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, the greater the effective propagation distance of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, and the smaller the strength of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module, the smaller the effective propagation distance of the Bluetooth signal output by the vehicle-side Bluetooth module.

[0098] As an implementation, the first power may be the minimum power that the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle-side can output, so as to shorten the effective propagation distance of the wireless communication connection signal output by the vehicle-side wireless communication module and shield interference from other devices. For example, the wireless communication connection signal may include a Bluetooth signal.

[0099] As another implementation method, the first power can be the distance at which the helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end can be paired when the helmet end is close to the vehicle end, that is, the effective propagation distance of the wireless communication connection signal output with the first power is the distance between the helmet end and the vehicle end when the helmet end is close to the vehicle end.

[0100] For example, considering that the modules on the vehicle side are mainly located on the handlebars, the helmet side close to the vehicle side may be the helmet side close to the handlebars on the vehicle side; the helmet side close to the vehicle side may also be the area where the helmet side wireless communication module is located on the helmet side close to the area where the vehicle side wireless communication module is located on the vehicle side. Closeness may be close or a small distance, such as within 10 cm.

[0101] For example, the method for initially pairing the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle-side and the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side may include: the control module on the vehicle-side controls the vehicle-side Bluetooth module to output a Bluetooth broadcast at a first power, and the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side can only monitor the Bluetooth broadcast when the helmet-side is close to the vehicle-side; after the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side monitors the Bluetooth broadcast, it initiates a connection request; after the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle-side receives the connection request initiated by the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side, the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle-side and the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side establish a Bluetooth connection for the first time, so that the vehicle-side Bluetooth module on the vehicle-side and the helmet-side Bluetooth module on the helmet-side establish a Bluetooth connection channel for the first time. In addition, after the vehicle side and the helmet side establish the Bluetooth connection channel for the first time, the two sides can negotiate to obtain a secret key. For example, the vehicle side can send the vehicle side's identification information to the helmet side through the Bluetooth connection channel established for the first time. The vehicle side's identification information can be used as the key for the Bluetooth connection channel established for the first time between the vehicle side and the helmet side. If the helmet side permits the key to be used as the key for the Bluetooth connection channel, the key can be used to encrypt the Bluetooth connection channel established for the first time, thereby completing the encryption of the Bluetooth connection channel established for the first time and improving the security of data transmitted through the Bluetooth connection channel established for the first time.

[0102] The above describes in detail the electric scooter provided in the embodiment of the present application. When the control module on the vehicle end detects that the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, it can not only control the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to light up, but also send a preset indicator light lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light lighting instruction, it controls the preset indicator light on the helmet end to light up synchronously, thereby realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end, simplifying the operation and improving the riding safety.

[0103] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a helmet provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, the helmet provided in this embodiment includes:

[0104] A control module 201, a preset indicator light and a wireless communication module on the helmet end;

[0105] The wireless communication module on the helmet side is used to establish a wireless communication connection with the vehicle side;

[0106] After the control module on the helmet side receives the preset indicator light-on instruction sent by the control module on the vehicle side through the wireless communication module on the helmet side, the preset indicator light on the helmet side is controlled to light up;

[0107] Among them, when the control module 201 on the vehicle side detects that the preset module on the vehicle side is triggered to switch to the working state, it controls the preset indicator light on the vehicle side to light up synchronously, and wirelessly sends the preset indicator light lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet side. The preset module includes at least one of a braking module and a steering module.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light-on instruction sent by the control module on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end, the control module on the vehicle end controls the preset indicator light on the helmet end to light up, and the control module on the vehicle end controls the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to light up synchronously, so that when the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end are lit synchronously, realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end, simplifying the operation and improving riding safety.

[0109] For example, Figure 4 As shown, after the control module 201 on the helmet side receives the brake light lighting command sent by the control module on the vehicle side through the wireless communication module on the helmet side, it controls the brake light 204 on the helmet side to light up, so that the brake light 204 on the helmet side and the brake light on the vehicle side can be lit synchronously.

[0110] After the control module 201 on the helmet end receives the left turn light lighting instruction sent by the control module on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end, it controls the left turn light 202 on the helmet end to light up, so that the left turn light 202 on the helmet end and the right turn light on the vehicle end can be lit synchronously.

[0111] After the control module 201 on the helmet end receives the right turn light lighting instruction sent by the control module on the vehicle end through the helmet end wireless communication module, it controls the right turn light 203 on the helmet end to light up, so that the right turn light 203 on the helmet end and the right turn light on the vehicle end can be lit synchronously.

[0112] In some embodiments, the control module on the helmet end is used to control the helmet-end wireless communication module to output a first power when the helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end are paired for the first time, and is also used to control the helmet-end wireless communication module to output a second power when the helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end are backconnected and / or in a backconnected state. The first power is less than the second power, so that interference from other devices can be shielded when the vehicle end and the helmet end are paired for the first time. After pairing is completed, within the wireless connection support range, the device is automatically connected when powered on and can be used directly, reducing the difficulty of user operation.

[0113] In some examples, the wireless communication module on the helmet side is a helmet side Bluetooth module, and the vehicle side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side can establish a Bluetooth connection with the helmet side Bluetooth module on the helmet side. The control module on the helmet side is also used to control the helmet side Bluetooth module to output a Bluetooth signal with a first power when the helmet side Bluetooth module on the helmet side is paired with the vehicle side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side for the first time, and to control the helmet side Bluetooth module to output a Bluetooth signal with a second power when the helmet side Bluetooth module on the helmet side is back-connected to the vehicle side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side and / or is in a back-connected state. When the helmet side Bluetooth module on the helmet side is paired with the vehicle side Bluetooth module on the vehicle side for the first time, the helmet side Bluetooth module is controlled to output a Bluetooth signal with a first power to shield interference from other devices. After pairing is completed, the output power of the helmet side Bluetooth module is increased so that it can be directly back-connected within the wireless connection support range after pairing is completed, thereby reducing the difficulty of customer operation.

[0114] As an implementation, the first power may be the minimum power that the wireless communication module on the helmet end can output, so as to shorten the effective propagation distance of the wireless communication connection signal output by the wireless communication module on the helmet end and shield interference from other devices. For example, the wireless communication connection signal may include a Bluetooth signal.

[0115] As another implementation method, the first power can be the distance at which the helmet-end wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end wireless communication module on the vehicle end can be paired when the helmet end is close to the vehicle end, that is, the effective propagation distance of the wireless communication connection signal output with the first power is the distance between the helmet end and the vehicle end when the helmet end is close to the vehicle end.

[0116] For example, the method of initially pairing the helmet-end Bluetooth module on the helmet end with the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end may include: the control module on the helmet end controls the helmet-end Bluetooth module to output the Bluetooth signal at a first power, and the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end can search for the Bluetooth signal on the helmet end only when the helmet end is close to the vehicle end; after the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end searches for the Bluetooth signal on the helmet end, it initiates a connection request; after the helmet-end Bluetooth module on the helmet end receives the connection request initiated by the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end, the helmet-end Bluetooth module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end establish a Bluetooth connection for the first time, so that the helmet-end Bluetooth module on the helmet end and the vehicle-end Bluetooth module on the vehicle end establish a Bluetooth connection channel for the first time.

[0117] In some examples, the helmet further includes a pairing button and a power button. The pairing button is used to initially pair the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side with the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side when pressed; the power button is used to automatically reconnect the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side with the vehicle-side wireless communication module when pressed, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0118] For example, when the pairing button is pressed, the control module on the helmet side controls the wireless communication module on the helmet side to be in pairing mode. When the wireless communication module on the helmet side is in pairing mode, the wireless communication module on the helmet side can output a Bluetooth signal at a first power.

[0119] In other examples, the helmet further includes a power button. The power button is used to perform initial pairing connection between the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side and the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side when long pressed, and is used to automatically connect the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet side and the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle side when short pressed, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0120] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the helmet also includes a photosensitive module 205 located on the helmet end, and the photosensitive module 205 on the helmet end is used to detect the ambient light intensity and send the detected ambient light intensity to the control module 201 on the helmet end. After receiving the ambient light intensity, the control module 201 on the helmet end can adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end based on the ambient light intensity, so that the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end can be automatically adjusted based on the real-time signal of the photosensitive module 205, ensuring that the helmet has a large endurance under the premise of eye-catching light prompt effects during the day and at night.

[0121] In other embodiments, after the control module on the helmet end receives the ambient light intensity sent by the photosensor module on the helmet end, the ambient light intensity is sent to the control module on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end. After the control module on the vehicle end receives the ambient light intensity, the control module adjusts the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end based on the ambient light intensity, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end based on the real-time signal of the photosensor module on the helmet end, thereby improving visibility and saving energy.

[0122] In some other embodiments, after the control module on the helmet end receives the ambient light intensity sent by the photosensor module on the helmet end, it can not only adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end based on the ambient light intensity, but also send the ambient light intensity to the control module on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end, so that after the control module on the vehicle end receives the ambient light intensity, it can adjust the brightness of the preset indicator light on the vehicle end based on the ambient light intensity, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the brightness of the preset indicator light on the helmet end and the preset indicator light on the vehicle end.

[0123] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the helmet also includes a fall detection module 206 located on the helmet end, and the fall detection module 206 on the helmet end is used to detect a fall signal and send the detected fall signal to the control module 201 on the helmet end. The control module 201 on the helmet end is also used to send the fall signal to the control module 201 on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end after receiving the fall signal sent by the fall detection module 206 on the helmet end, so that the control module 201 on the vehicle end determines that a fall event occurs on the vehicle end or the helmet end itself falls according to the fall signal, thereby improving the safety of riding.

[0124] For example, the control module on the vehicle side is used to determine that a vehicle crash has occurred when the vehicle side is in a startup state and a fall signal is received from the helmet side. The control module on the vehicle side is used to determine that the helmet side itself has fallen when the vehicle side is in a non-startup state and a fall signal is received from the helmet side. The control module on the vehicle side is also used to send a distress signal after determining that a vehicle crash has occurred.

[0125] In other embodiments, when the control module on the helmet end receives a fall signal sent by the crash detection module on the helmet end, it determines that the helmet end itself has fallen.

[0126] The above describes in detail the helmet provided in the embodiment of the present application. After the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light lighting instruction sent by the control module on the vehicle end through the wireless communication module on the helmet end, the control module on the vehicle end controls the preset indicator light on the helmet end to light up, and the control module on the vehicle end controls the preset indicator light on the vehicle end to light up synchronously. Therefore, when the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end are lit synchronously, realizing the linkage between the preset indicator light on the vehicle end and the preset indicator light on the helmet end, simplifying the operation and improving riding safety.

[0128] S10, when it is detected that the preset module on the vehicle end is triggered to switch to the working state, the preset indicator light on the vehicle end is controlled to light up, and a preset indicator light lighting instruction is wirelessly sent to the control module on the helmet end through the vehicle end wireless communication module, so that after the control module on the helmet end receives the preset indicator light lighting instruction, the preset indicator light on the helmet end is controlled to light up synchronously;

[0129] Among them, the preset module includes at least one of a braking module and a steering module.

[0130] In some embodiments, when a fall signal is received from a fall detection module on the vehicle end while the vehicle end is in a startup state, a fall event is determined to have occurred on the vehicle end based on the fall signal sent by the fall detection module on the vehicle end and a distress signal is sent to improve riding safety.

[0131] In other embodiments, when the vehicle side is in the startup state, when a fall signal wirelessly sent from the helmet side is received through the vehicle side wireless communication module, and a fall signal sent from the fall detection module on the vehicle side is received, a fall event is determined to have occurred on the vehicle side and a distress signal is sent out based on the fall signal sent by the fall detection module on the vehicle side and the fall signal wirelessly sent by the helmet side, thereby more accurately determining the fall event, reducing false alarms, and improving the accuracy of the triggered distress signal.

[0132] In some other embodiments, when the vehicle end is in a non-startup state, when a fall signal sent by a fall detection module on the vehicle end and / or a fall signal wirelessly sent by the helmet end is received through the vehicle end wireless communication module, it is determined that the vehicle end itself has fallen sideways and / or the helmet end itself has fallen.

[0133] Another embodiment of the present application provides a riding indicator light control method, which is used for the above-mentioned helmet. The method provided by this embodiment includes:

[0134] S20, after receiving a preset indicator light-on instruction sent by a control module on the vehicle side through the wireless communication module on the helmet side, controlling the preset indicator light on the helmet side to light up;

[0135] Among them, when the control module on the vehicle side detects that the preset module on the vehicle side is triggered to switch to the working state, it controls the preset indicator light on the vehicle side to light up synchronously, and wirelessly sends the preset indicator light lighting instruction to the control module on the helmet side. The preset module includes at least one of a braking module and a steering module.

[0136] In some embodiments, when the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle end are paired for the first time, the helmet-side wireless communication module is controlled to output a first power; when the helmet-side wireless communication module on the helmet end and the vehicle-side wireless communication module on the vehicle end are backconnected and / or in a backconnected state, the helmet-side wireless communication module is controlled to output a second power, and the first power is less than the second power, so that interference from other devices can be shielded when the vehicle end and the helmet end are paired for the first time. After pairing is completed, within the wireless connection support range, the power is turned on to automatically connect and can be used directly, reducing the difficulty of user operation.
