[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0030] With the development of technology in the automotive field, vehicle configurations are becoming more and more abundant. In the era of software-defined cars, automakers expect to gain returns by selling software functions.

[0031] However, since software functions require hardware support and different vehicles have different software and hardware configurations, the management of vehicle configuration information becomes complicated and may result in purchased functions not being able to be adapted, affecting the accuracy of vehicle function adaptation based on vehicle configuration information.

[0032] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of this specification provide a vehicle configuration information management system, and the vehicle configuration information management method provided in the embodiments of this specification is applied to the vehicle configuration information management system. The interactive system generates different words in the car according to different scenarios and user feedback, providing users with a more immersive gaming experience and emotional value.

[0033] Specifically, the vehicle configuration information management system may include: Figure 1The operating environment formed by the server 110 and the vehicle 120 in the embodiment. The vehicle 120 communicates with the server 110 through a network connection. The functions implemented in the vehicle 120 can be local processing by the vehicle 120, or the vehicle 120 receives information and uploads it to the server 110 in the cloud, and the server 110 in the cloud processes and sends it to the vehicle 120. Among them, the server 110 can be an electronic device with certain computing and processing capabilities. It can have a network communication module, a processor, and a memory, etc. Of course, the server 110 can also refer to the software running in the electronic device. The server 110 can also be a distributed server, which can be a system with multiple processors, memories, network communication modules, etc. operating in collaboration. Alternatively, the server 110 can also be a cluster formed by several servers 110. Alternatively, with the development of science and technology, the server 110 can also be a new technical means that can realize the corresponding functions of the implementation method of the specification. For example, it can be a new form of "server" based on quantum computing.

[0034] Specifically, based on the above-mentioned management system, when configuring functions in the vehicle, a vehicle configuration information management system is used to standardize and match the software status, software version information, hardware configuration status, etc. of the entire vehicle with the purchasable functions, and synchronize and update the current software and hardware status in real time, thereby realizing a standardized management system for simultaneously managing software function activation for multiple models and series, reducing the complexity of enterprise management, avoiding the situation where multiple model branches simultaneously manage the purchase of vehicle functions and vehicle status, thereby causing invalid purchases, and realizing a decoupled management strategy.

[0035] Based on the above concept, an embodiment of the present specification provides a method for managing vehicle configuration information. The following will exemplarily describe the method for managing vehicle configuration information provided in the embodiment of the present specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] To be applied to Figure 1 Taking the vehicle in the example, some embodiments of this specification exemplarily illustrate the management method of the vehicle configuration information, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle configuration information management method includes:

[0037] 201. Obtain vehicle configuration information corresponding to the vehicle, where the vehicle configuration information includes a current hardware version list, a current software version list, and a hardware resource configuration list.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vehicle configuration information is the integration of the vehicle's software and hardware information. Since the vehicle's software and hardware can be iterated in versions and the hardware has different load conditions, the vehicle configuration information includes the current hardware version list, the current software version list and the hardware resource configuration list.

[0039] Specifically, the current hardware version list, the current software version list and the hardware resource configuration list can be determined in real time, that is, the control unit of the vehicle configuration is first determined; then the control unit is version detected according to the preset period to obtain the current hardware version list and the current software version list, that is, the hardware version of the vehicle controller is scanned, and the hardware version of all ECUs of the vehicle is scanned and detected regularly to obtain the "real-time" status, for example: the seat controller hardware number V1.1, and the software version of all ECUs of the vehicle is scanned and detected regularly to obtain the "real-time" status, for example: seat controller V1.4; specifically, the control unit (Electronic Control Unit, ECU) that can communicate with the vehicle and contains software can be scanned and diagnosed and read in a daily scheduled manner (and driving cycle, and after the vehicle is powered off and restarted).

[0040] The receiving control unit then sends status information based on preset messages to obtain a hardware resource configuration list. For example, a CAN message is defined for each ECU connected to a load through a preset CAN signal, so that it reports the actual connection status of its load through a CAN message cycle (for example, every 100ms), such as whether the seat heater is connected, whether the massager is connected, the number of current millimeter-wave radar connections, etc. The ECU in the configuration center summarizes the list into a list of the hardware resource configuration of the entire vehicle to achieve automatic identification and plug-and-play. Specifically, the installation status of each load of the vehicle can be determined by scanning the status of each communication signal, for example: whether the seat heating device is configured; and then combined with the current hardware version list, the current software version list and the hardware resource configuration list to obtain the vehicle configuration information.

[0041] Furthermore, the vehicle configuration information of the present embodiment is executed by a set central control unit, which may be any one of the ECUs configured in the whole vehicle, or an ECU with redundant processing resources in the whole vehicle ECU may be selected as the central control unit; the central control unit is the whole vehicle configuration center (controller), which is used for the overall form control of the whole vehicle configuration. The storage management of this form is encrypted, and the signature needs to be verified when the configuration modification is activated to ensure information security.

[0042] 202. Determine a dependency list associated with an activatable function corresponding to the vehicle, where the dependency list is used to indicate the dependency of the activatable function on the hardware configuration and software configuration in the vehicle, where the hardware configuration is determined based on the current hardware version list and the hardware resource configuration list, and the software configuration is determined based on the current software version list.

[0043] In this embodiment, the dependency list is a list solidified in the central control unit software, which is used to characterize the dependency of each configurable function on the software and hardware versions and resources of the vehicle electronic controller ECU. Since it records the dependency of the activatable function on the hardware configuration and software configuration in the vehicle, by obtaining the current hardware version list, the current software version list and the hardware resource configuration list in step 201, the support status of the current vehicle function can be obtained in real time, which can be used as a prerequisite for managing the activatable function. For example: seat heating function dependency: seat controller hardware>V1.0; seat heating device installed; seat controller software>V1.2.

[0044] Furthermore, the dependency list can be updated as the software is upgraded, that is, upgraded through Over-the-Air Technology (OTA). Therefore, to determine the dependency list, the version information obtained by remote downloading the vehicle can be first obtained; then, based on the version information, OTA iteration is performed on the dependency of the activatable function on the hardware configuration and software configuration to obtain the dependency list, so as to improve the accuracy of the dependencies.

[0045] 203. Perform information statistics according to the dependency relationships corresponding to the activatable functions in the dependency relationship list to obtain a function activation list.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the function activation list is obtained by statistically analyzing the dependencies corresponding to each activatable function in the dependency list, it reflects the configuration of the activatable function (i.e., the configuration information of the software and hardware associated with the activatable function is statistically analyzed through the dependencies corresponding to the activatable function), the function activation list can use the current actual function activation status list of the vehicle as input and output the current activation function of the vehicle; i.e., the precondition for determining whether the function can be activated. For example: Advanced self-driving function - activated - expired: none; seat heating function - not activated - expired: xx.

[0047] Furthermore, the function activation list can receive remote requests from the production line (i.e., pre-sales order matching requests) or after-sales orders to modify the configuration. For example, for the function configuration options of pre-sales orders, for example: advanced self-driving functions-optional, production line activation; or for the function configuration options of after-sales orders, for example: seat heating-optional, after-sales orders, if the hardware is ready, it will be activated directly, if the hardware does not meet the standards, it needs to be adjusted before activation; the following describes the execution process based on the function activation list.

[0048] 204. Execute a target operation for function configuration of the vehicle based on the function activation list.

[0049] In this embodiment, the target operation is to perform a function configuration operation for the vehicle based on the function activation list, such as function addition, function query when purchasing a vehicle, dynamic adjustment when updating functions, etc.

[0050] In a possible scenario, when the target operation is a configuration change request, a configuration change request for functional configuration of the vehicle can be obtained through a configuration path, which is configured based on the order matching stage (i.e., pre-sales stage) or order maintenance stage (i.e., after-sales stage) corresponding to the vehicle; then the configuration function indicated by the configuration change request is determined; and the matching information of the vehicle's hardware configuration and software configuration for the configuration function is determined based on the function activation list; thus, the activation result corresponding to the configuration function is fed back according to the matching information. Specifically, when the configuration change request meets the hardware and software conditions, it can be activated and the activation result is fed back at the same time; when the configuration change request does not meet the hardware and software conditions, the activation conditions are rejected, thereby avoiding functional problems caused by mismatched hardware and software after erroneous activation.

[0051] Furthermore, in the process of responding to a configuration change request, the signature contained in the configuration modification request can also be authenticated to protect information security, that is, firstly obtain the authentication information corresponding to the configuration change request in the configuration path; if the authentication information meets the signature condition, then determine the configuration function indicated by the configuration change request.

[0052] In one possible scenario, the configuration function also includes timeliness information, that is, the purchased function has a certain usage time. For example, if the high-level intelligent driving is activated for one year, the timeliness information is one year, and the function will be expired after one year. That is, first obtain the timeliness information corresponding to the configuration function; then perform timeliness monitoring based on the timeliness information to update the activation result corresponding to the configuration function.

[0053] In addition, while managing the actual activation functions of the vehicle based on the function activation list, SOA services can also be provided externally on the in-vehicle Ethernet, that is, first determine the data synchronization interface for the function activation list configuration; then respond to the read request sent by the control unit in the vehicle, send the configuration information of the activatable function to the control unit corresponding to the read request based on the data synchronization interface. The configuration information includes the configuration status, the configurable list and the change information. Specifically, the data synchronization interface can be called by other ECUs to obtain the current activation configuration information.

[0054] Furthermore, based on the data synchronization interface, the subscription request for the target function sent by the control unit can also be obtained; and in response to the change notification of the target function in the function activation list, the change notification is broadcast to the control unit corresponding to the subscription request through the data synchronization interface. That is, the actual configuration list is provided in the form of a predetermined signal group on the external CAN bus or other types of buses in the vehicle, so that all ECUs in the vehicle can align the corresponding configuration status and jointly activate the corresponding function.

[0055] Combining the above embodiments, we can get Figure 3 The scene flow shown, Figure 3 A scenario diagram of a method for managing vehicle configuration information provided for one embodiment of the present specification; the diagram shows that first a central control unit is selected as a "vehicle configuration center"; then the vehicle configuration center maintains a total of 5 forms, namely Form 1 current hardware version list, Form 2 hardware resource configuration list, Form 3 current software version list, Form 4 dependency list and Form 5 function activation list.

[0056] Specifically, for the display form of the above form, please refer to the following description:

[0057] 1. List of current vehicle hardware versions;

[0058] Reference form information: (Take the seat controller as an example, the vehicle information will include all controller information)

[0059] {

[0060] "ECUname":"SCU",

[0061] "HWVersion":"1.1"

[0062] }

[0063] 2. Current vehicle hardware resource configuration list;

[0064] {

[0065] "ResouceName":"Second_Row_Seat_Heater",

[0066] "ConfigSts":"Configured"

[0067] }

[0068] 3. List of current vehicle software versions;

[0069] {

[0070] "ECUname":"SCU",

[0071] "SWVersion":"1.4"

[0072] }

[0073] 4. A list of dependencies of each functional configuration on software and hardware;

[0074] {

[0075] "ECUname":"SCU",

[0076] "Reliability"

[0077] {"ECUname":"SCU","MinHWVersion":"1.0"}

[0078] {"ECUname":"SCU","MinSWVersion":"1.1"}

[0079] {"ResouceName":"Second_Row_Seat_Heater","ConfigSts":"Configured"}]

[0080] }

[0081] 5. Current feature configuration activation list (a list of all configured (Configured) and unconfigured (Ready to Config / Not Available) Features);

[0082] {

[0083] "Feature":"Second_Row_Seat_Heat",

[0084] "ConfigSts":"Configured" / / Three situations: Configured / ReadytoConfig / NotAvailable

[0085] "Due":"Unlimited"

[0086] }

[0087] For Lists 1 and 3, the vehicle's communicative ECU control units with software are scanned and diagnosed and read on a daily basis (during driving cycles and after the vehicle is powered off and restarted). For List 2, a CAN message frame is defined for each ECU connected to a load through a preset CAN signal, so that it reports the actual connection status of its load through a CAN message cycle (every 100ms), such as whether the seat heater is connected, whether the massager is connected, the number of current millimeter-wave radar connections, etc., which are summarized in the configuration center ECU into a list of the vehicle's hardware resource configuration.

[0088] It is understandable that List 4 is a list fixed in the central control unit software (which can be updated with software upgrades). This list is used to characterize the dependency relationship between each configurable function and the software and hardware versions and resources of the vehicle electronic controller ECU, that is, to manage the preconditions for activating functions. This list is used as input for the fifth list, the vehicle's current actual function activation status list, to determine whether the function can be activated.

[0089] In addition, List 5 can receive remote requests from production lines (i.e., pre-sales order matching requests) or after-sales orders to modify configurations. That is, when the configuration change request meets the hardware and software conditions, it can be activated and the activation result will be fed back at the same time; when the configuration change request does not meet the hardware and software conditions, the activation conditions will be rejected, avoiding functional problems caused by mismatched hardware and software after misactivation; and the request to modify the configuration also includes signature authentication to protect information security.

[0090] Furthermore, List 5 provides SOA services on the in-vehicle Ethernet while managing the actual activation functions of the vehicle. The interface can be called by other ECUs to obtain the current activation configuration information. Externally, on the in-vehicle CAN bus or other types of buses, a list of actual configurations is provided in the form of a predetermined signal group, so that all ECUs in the vehicle can align the corresponding configuration status and jointly activate the corresponding functions.

[0091] The reference interface examples are as follows:

[0092] Read configuration status

[0093] GET / api / v1 / config / {featureName}

[0094] Returns configuration status information for a specific feature. For example, for the second row seat heating feature, the request might be / api / v1 / config / second_row_seat_heating. The returned data might include information such as status (on or off), timestamp, etc.

[0095] Read the list of configurable

[0096] GET / api / v1 / readytoconfig

[0097] Returns all state information that can be (or cannot be) configured. For example, the returned data may include a list of second_row_seat_heating, U-steering_wheel_feature, and Autonomous Drive L3. The returned data may include a list of multiple Features.

[0098] Update configuration status

[0099] PUT / api / v1 / config / {featureName}

[0100] Updates the configuration state of a specific feature. The request body contains the new state information (on or off). For example, to turn on the second row seat heating feature, send a PUT request to / api / v1 / config / second_row_seat_heating and set the state in the request body to on.

[0101] Subscribe to configuration status change notifications

[0102] GET / api / v1 / config / {featureName} / subscribe

[0103] Other ECUs can subscribe to configuration status change notifications for specific functions through this interface. Once the configuration status of the function changes, the central node will notify the subscribed ECUs by distributing event messages.

[0104] In another possible scenario, the target operation is a peripheral access request, that is, a device accessed through an expansion interface (such as USB, Type-C, etc.) reserved in the vehicle, such as accessing a physical button for air conditioning control, a channel expansion speaker, etc.; therefore, when the target operation is a peripheral access request, the expansion device can be accessed in response to the peripheral interface configured by the vehicle, and the peripheral access request corresponding to the expansion device can be obtained; then, in response to the peripheral access request, the function activation list is called; based on the function activation list, the vehicle's hardware configuration and software configuration support information for the expansion device is determined. For example, accessing a physical button for air conditioning control requires the air conditioning control hardware version > V1.0; and then the access result corresponding to the expansion device is fed back according to the support information.

[0105] Furthermore, the access of peripherals can be judged as trustworthy to avoid system risks brought by external devices, such as viruses and controller mismatches. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A scenario diagram of another method for managing vehicle configuration information provided for an embodiment of the present specification; the diagram shows that after accessing an external device, the vehicle will perform a trusted authentication of the device signature corresponding to the external device access request to determine whether it is a trusted device; if the authentication is successful, the function activation list is called, and further software and hardware device support adaptation processes are performed, and the information of the external device is broadcast to all ECUs to perform hardware configuration at the vehicle level, improve the coordination between devices, improve the security of external devices, and become a system that is compatible with managing the software and hardware configuration status of the vehicle, which can serve all ECUs of the vehicle and realize a standardized configuration function that can be sold and subscribed to the management system solution.

[0106] In summary, this embodiment obtains the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the vehicle, which includes the current hardware version list, the current software version list and the hardware resource configuration list; then determines the dependency list associated with the activatable function corresponding to the vehicle, which is used to indicate the dependency of the activatable function on the hardware configuration and software configuration in the vehicle, and the hardware configuration is determined based on the current hardware version list and the hardware resource configuration list, and the software configuration is determined based on the current software version list; and performs information statistics according to the dependency corresponding to each activatable function in the dependency list to obtain a function activation list; and then performs the target operation for the function configuration of the vehicle based on the function activation list. Thus, the process of standardizing the matching and management of the software status, software version information, hardware configuration status, etc. of the whole vehicle with the purchasable functions is realized. Since the function activation list is associated with the current software and hardware status, the process of managing the software function activation for multiple models and series at the same time can be realized, which reduces the complexity of vehicle configuration information management, avoids the situation that the purchased vehicle function does not match the vehicle status when multiple model branches are managed at the same time, avoids the generation of invalid purchases, and improves the accuracy of vehicle function adaptation based on vehicle configuration information.
