[0015] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present application belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the embodiments of the present application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing in front of the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0017] In the related art, with the rapid development of smart car technology, vehicles are not just a simple means of transportation, but have gradually become a highly integrated information and entertainment center. Modern vehicles are usually equipped with advanced in-vehicle information systems, such as navigation systems, multimedia playback devices, in-vehicle communications and Internet access functions. These systems can collect and process a large amount of personal information and riding habits data, thereby improving the driving experience and the efficiency of vehicle use. However, with the increasing intelligence of vehicles, the privacy protection of car owners has become increasingly prominent. The cameras, sensors and recording devices inside the vehicle can continuously monitor the vehicle status and the behavior of the passengers, which may cause the privacy information of the owner and passengers to be inadvertently leaked or abused. For example, the on-board camera and driving recorder may record the images and sounds inside and outside the car, and these records may contain sensitive information. In addition, family cars are often shared by multiple family members, which may lead to a situation where the vehicle's personal settings, navigation history, call records and other private information are accessed by other family members or temporary passengers, causing privacy issues or family disputes. Therefore, how to effectively protect the privacy of car owners and passengers while ensuring the convenience brought by vehicle intelligence has become an urgent problem to be solved. Although there are some privacy protection solutions in the existing technology, such as using privacy mode to limit access to certain functions, these solutions often lack flexibility and intelligence and cannot automatically adjust privacy protection measures according to the identities of different passengers.

[0018] Based on the above problems, the applicant found that: detecting the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle and determining whether there are unauthorized occupants based on the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle, wherein the unauthorized occupants represent occupants in the vehicle whose authorization type is unauthorized, can ensure that when the vehicle is unlocked and used, different occupants can be identified and distinguished, and the vehicle settings can be adjusted according to the authorization types of different occupants; when it is determined that there are unauthorized occupants in the vehicle, a privacy protection strategy for the period during which the unauthorized occupants are in the vehicle is executed; for example, the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey is restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, to prevent other occupants from accessing the operation information the next time they use the vehicle, effectively protecting the privacy security of unauthorized and authorized occupants, preventing the disclosure of personal information and riding habits of unauthorized occupants, and also preventing other members from knowing the historical use of the vehicle.

[0019] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] This application provides a vehicle privacy protection method, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the method is executed by a vehicle controller or a data processor independently provided by the vehicle controller. The subsequent embodiments are all illustrated by taking the vehicle controller as an example. The vehicle privacy protection method includes:

[0021] S101, detecting identity information of passengers in the vehicle, and determining whether there is an unauthorized passenger according to the identity information of the passengers in the vehicle, wherein the unauthorized passenger indicates an unauthorized passenger in the vehicle whose authorization type is unauthorized;

[0022] In specific implementation, when a person outside the vehicle unlocks and enters the vehicle using a key, password, remote control or biometric technology (such as fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.), the camera or other sensors inside the vehicle can be used to capture the facial features, body temperature, weight and other biometric information of the occupants in the vehicle, or the identity can be further confirmed through voice recognition. After the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle is determined, it is determined whether there are unauthorized occupants based on the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle. The unauthorized occupants represent occupants in the vehicle whose authorization type is unauthorized. For example, when the identity information of the occupant matches the identity information of the pre-stored authorized occupant, it is determined that there are authorized occupants; or, when the identity information of the occupant matches the identity information of the pre-stored unauthorized occupant, it is determined that there are unauthorized occupants; or, when the identity information of the occupant does not match the identity information of the pre-stored authorized occupant, it can be determined whether there are unauthorized occupants based on the occupant's historical number of rides. It can ensure that when the vehicle is unlocked and used, different occupants can be identified and distinguished, and the settings and function access rights of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the authorization types of different occupants, thereby effectively protecting the privacy of the owner and the safety of the vehicle.

[0023] S102: If it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant in the vehicle, execute a privacy protection strategy for the period during which the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle.

[0024] In specific implementation, when the vehicle is unlocked and the identity of the occupant is detected, if it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant, this state is marked. When the occupant leaves the vehicle and locks the vehicle, the vehicle receives a locking signal and starts to execute the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupant, and restores the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey to the state before the historical operation information is initialized (such as restoring the seat position, air conditioning temperature, multimedia system preference settings, etc. to the default state or the safety state preset by the owner), preventing other occupants from accessing these personalized information when they use the vehicle next time. Sensitive information such as recent destination records and driving routes can also be cleared or hidden and stored to prevent other occupants from viewing them. Specifically, when the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupant is executed during the period of being in the vehicle, the video recorded by the driving recorder is hidden in a hidden folder after the vehicle is locked, and the owner can view the video recorded by the driving recorder. These measures can effectively protect the privacy security of unauthorized and authorized occupants, prevent the disclosure of unauthorized occupants' personal information and riding habits, and also prevent other members from knowing the historical use of the vehicle.

[0025] In this embodiment, the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle is detected, and it is determined whether there are unauthorized occupants based on the identity information of the occupants in the vehicle; when it is determined that there are unauthorized occupants in the vehicle, a privacy protection strategy for the period during which the unauthorized occupants are in the vehicle is executed, which can ensure that when the vehicle is unlocked and used, different occupants can be identified and distinguished, and the vehicle settings can be adjusted according to the authorization types of different occupants. For example, the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey is restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, preventing other occupants from accessing the operation information when they use the vehicle next time, effectively protecting the privacy security of unauthorized and authorized occupants, preventing the disclosure of personal information and riding habits of unauthorized occupants, and also preventing other members from knowing the historical use of the vehicle.

[0026] In some embodiments, if it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant in the vehicle, executing a privacy protection strategy for the period during which the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle includes:

[0027] If it is determined that all the occupants in the vehicle are unauthorized occupants, the privacy protection strategy for the authorized occupants is executed after the vehicle is started, and the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupants during their presence in the vehicle is executed after the vehicle is locked;

[0028] In specific implementation, if all passengers in the vehicle are unauthorized passengers, the privacy protection strategy for authorized passengers will be executed after the vehicle is started, for example, all personalized settings of authorized passengers (such as seat adjustment, air conditioning temperature, media playback preferences, etc.) will be initialized or restored to the default state to ensure that unauthorized passengers cannot access or perceive the personal preferences of authorized passengers. Unauthorized passengers can also be restricted from accessing certain functions, such as the vehicle's internal storage system, personalized settings of the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), and other functions that may leak the privacy of authorized passengers. After the vehicle is locked, the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized passengers during the period of their presence in the vehicle is executed, such as restoring the operation information of the unauthorized passengers on the vehicle during the vehicle journey to the state before the historical operation information is initialized (such as restoring the seat position, air conditioning temperature, multimedia system preference settings, etc. to the default state or the safe state preset by the owner), preventing other passengers from accessing these personalized information when they use the vehicle next time. All travel records generated during the use period can also be encrypted and stored to prevent other passengers from accessing them. The operation information of the unauthorized passengers on the vehicle during the vehicle journey is restored to the state before the historical operation information was initialized, ensuring that the vehicle can maintain its personalized settings and preferences when the authorized passengers use it again. These strategies can be flexibly responded to in different usage scenarios, effectively protecting the privacy and personal settings of authorized passengers from being violated by unauthorized passengers, and also avoiding the leakage of the privacy and personal settings of unauthorized passengers. For shared vehicles, vehicles used by multiple families, or corporate fleet management, it provides an effective way to ensure that the privacy of all users is respected and protected.

[0029] If it is determined that there are unauthorized occupants and authorized occupants in the vehicle, based on the seating position of the authorized occupants, it is determined to execute a privacy protection strategy for the authorized occupants after the vehicle is started, and to execute a privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupants while they are in the vehicle after the vehicle is locked.

[0030] In specific implementation, the seat position of the authorized occupant is first identified, which can be achieved through seat sensors, internal cameras, etc. Based on the position of the authorized occupant, the privacy protection strategy for the authorized occupant is executed after the vehicle is started. When the authorized occupant is at the target position, the historical operation information corresponding to the authorized occupant at the target position is retained, and the historical operation information corresponding to other positions is initialized; when the authorized occupant is not at the target position, the historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized, and the target position is the position where the authorized member has taken the most times within the preset historical time. After the vehicle is locked, the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupant during the vehicle is executed, and the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey is restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, preventing other occupants from accessing these personalized information when they use the vehicle next time. The privacy protection strategy based on the seat position allows flexible response when different occupants share the vehicle, which not only protects the privacy of the authorized occupant, but also takes into account the overall safety and operational convenience of the vehicle, and can maintain the interests and privacy rights of all occupants in complex usage scenarios.

[0031] In this embodiment, by identifying the specific seating position of the authorized occupant, privacy protection measures can be applied more accurately, and only the settings of the specific position are protected or reset, ensuring that the personal settings and privacy of the authorized occupant are protected without affecting other users of the vehicle. The privacy protection strategy based on seating position provides a high degree of flexibility and can adapt to different riding situations and user needs. Whether riding alone or with multiple people, the privacy of each occupant can be effectively managed and protected.

[0032] In some embodiments, executing the privacy protection policy for the authorized occupant after the vehicle is started includes:

[0033] If the vehicle is started, the historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized;

[0034] In specific implementation, when the vehicle is started, all personal settings related to the previous user are cleared or reset, such as seat position, air conditioning temperature, music playlist, recent destinations in the navigation system, etc. The operation log of the previous trip can also be cleared, including speed adjustment, light use, media control and other operation records. Any system status that may store personal preferences or behavior patterns will be reset, such as the configuration of the driving assistance system, the car phone book, call records, etc. Ensure that there is no trace of the previous occupant, thereby protecting personal privacy and data security.

[0035] The privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupant during the period of being in the vehicle after the vehicle is locked includes:

[0036] If the vehicle journey is completed and the vehicle is locked, the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey is restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, and the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle is hidden and stored.

[0037] In specific implementation, when the vehicle journey ends, that is, the vehicle stops running and is locked (by key, remote control or automatic locking system), the operation information of the unauthorized occupant on the vehicle during the vehicle journey will be restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, including but not limited to seat adjustment, air conditioning settings, music playback preferences, etc., that is, if the unauthorized occupant changes any vehicle settings or configurations during the journey, these changes will be automatically revoked to ensure that the vehicle returns to the state last set by the authorized user; all operation data generated by the unauthorized occupant during the use of the vehicle will be transferred to an encrypted, isolated storage area, and these isolated stored data can only be accessed by users with appropriate permissions. Ensure that the operation of the unauthorized occupant will not leave any traces that can be accessed by subsequent occupants, protect the privacy of the owner or authorized occupants, prevent the operation of the unauthorized occupants from causing long-term effects on the vehicle system, and ensure the integrity of the vehicle's functions and settings; the vehicle can ensure that the privacy and security of all occupants are not violated while providing the necessary flexibility of use, especially when the vehicle is used by multiple people or in vehicle sharing services.

[0038] In this embodiment, by resetting the historical operation information each time the vehicle is started, it is ensured that the personal settings and operation records of the previous occupant will not be accessed by subsequent occupants, thereby protecting personal privacy. The operation information of unauthorized occupants is restored to its original state and stored in a hidden manner to prevent any changes to the vehicle settings from affecting subsequent authorized occupants, thereby ensuring privacy security. The vehicle is restored to the state last set by the authorized occupant to ensure that the vehicle's functions and settings remain intact and consistent, avoiding setting confusion or potential safety risks caused by arbitrary operations by unauthorized occupants. Through these strategies, the vehicle can ensure that the privacy security of all occupants is not violated while providing the necessary flexibility of use, especially when the vehicle is used by multiple people or in vehicle sharing services.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the method of determining to execute a privacy protection strategy for the authorized occupant after the vehicle is started based on the seat position of the authorized occupant includes:

[0040] S201, detecting the position of the authorized passenger, and determining whether the authorized passenger is at a target position, wherein the target position is the position where the authorized passenger has ridden the most times within a preset historical period;

[0041] During specific implementation, the exact position of the authorized occupant is detected by sensors in the vehicle (such as seat sensors, cameras, etc.). The sensors can identify which seat the occupant is sitting in the vehicle, such as the driver's seat, the front passenger seat or the back seat; and determine whether the authorized occupant is in the target position. The target position is the position where the authorized member has sat the most times within a preset historical period (for example, the preset historical period can be set to one month).

[0042] S202A, if the authorized occupant is at the target position, retain the historical operation information corresponding to the authorized occupant at the target position, and initialize the historical operation information corresponding to other positions;

[0043] In specific implementation, when it is detected that an authorized occupant is sitting in the position he or she uses most frequently, all historical operation information related to that position will be retained, such as seat adjustment preferences, air conditioning settings, multimedia system preferences, etc., to ensure that the occupant can enjoy a consistent and personalized user experience. At the same time, the historical operation information of other seats will be initialized to prevent other unauthorized occupants from obtaining or modifying the authorized occupant's personal information.

[0044] S202B: If the authorized occupant is not at the target position, the historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized.

[0045] In specific implementation, if the authorized occupant is not at his / her usual target location, all historical operation information of the vehicle will be initialized to protect the privacy of the authorized occupant and prevent his / her personal settings from being misused or viewed by other occupants. Through the privacy protection strategy based on the authorized occupant's location, the vehicle can provide the authorized occupant with a safer and more personalized driving and riding experience.

[0046] In this embodiment, by retaining the historical operation information of the authorized occupants in their usual positions, it is ensured that the occupants can enjoy customized settings every time they enter the vehicle, such as seat angle, air conditioning temperature, and media playback preferences, thereby improving the driving and riding comfort. When the authorized occupants are not in their usual positions, by initializing all historical operation information of the vehicle, other occupants can be effectively prevented from accessing or modifying the authorized occupants' personal settings, thereby protecting their privacy. Through these strategies, the vehicle can ensure that the privacy and security of all occupants are not violated while providing the necessary flexibility of use.

[0047] In some embodiments, the determining whether there is an unauthorized occupant according to the identity information of the occupant in the vehicle, wherein the unauthorized occupant represents an occupant in the vehicle whose authorization type is unauthorized, includes:

[0048] If the identity information of the occupant matches the identity information of the pre-stored authorized occupant, it is determined that there is an authorized occupant;

[0049] In specific implementation, the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle is first collected through biometric technology (such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning or voice recognition) or through communication with the vehicle through a smartphone application. The collected identity information is then compared with a pre-stored authorized occupant database, which contains the identity information of all persons authorized by the vehicle owner or vehicle manager. If the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle completely matches the pre-stored identity information of the authorized occupant, it is determined that there is an authorized occupant.

[0050] If the identity information of the occupant matches the identity information of the pre-stored unauthorized occupant, it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant;

[0051] In specific implementation, the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle is first collected through biometric technology (such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning or voice recognition) or through communication with the vehicle through a smartphone application. The collected identity information is then compared with a pre-stored unauthorized occupant database, which contains the identity information of all unauthorized occupants marked by the vehicle owner or vehicle administrator. If the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle completely matches the pre-stored identity information of the unauthorized occupant, it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant.

[0052] If the identity information of the occupant does not match the identity information of the pre-stored authorized occupant, it is determined whether there is an unauthorized occupant based on the occupant's historical number of rides.

[0053] In specific implementation, for members whose identity information does not match the pre-stored authorized occupant's identity information, whether there is an unauthorized occupant will be determined based on their historical number of rides. Through this authorization type determination mechanism based on the historical number of rides, it can flexibly adapt to the usage of different occupants while ensuring the safety of the vehicle and the privacy protection of the occupants.

[0054] In this embodiment, by accurately identifying and distinguishing authorized and unauthorized occupants, unauthorized access and potential malicious operations can be effectively prevented, thereby protecting the vehicle from illegal use or damage. In the case of mismatch with the pre-stored identity information of authorized occupants, the authorization type is evaluated by considering the number of historical rides, adding an additional layer of security to ensure that only truly trusted occupants can access sensitive or critical functions of the vehicle. By identifying the identity of the occupant and adjusting the state of the operating information accordingly, the privacy of the occupant and sensitive data can be protected.

[0055] In some embodiments, determining whether there is an unauthorized occupant based on the occupant's historical ride times includes:

[0056] If the passenger's historical riding times are less than the preset times, it is determined that there is an unauthorized passenger;

[0057] In specific implementation, the number of rides of each passenger is recorded through built-in sensors and user identification technology (such as facial recognition, RFID tags, etc.). The preset number of rides can be a threshold set by the car owner or system administrator based on vehicle usage and safety considerations. The preset number of rides represents the minimum number of rides for which a passenger can be trusted and granted more permissions (for example, the preset number of rides can be set to 10 times). If the number of historical rides of a passenger is less than the preset number of rides, it is determined that there is an unauthorized passenger. The unauthorized passenger may be subject to strict access restrictions and cannot use certain functions of the vehicle, such as driving control, personalized settings adjustment, etc. This measure can prevent unfamiliar or incompletely trusted people from abusing the vehicle, thereby protecting the vehicle from unauthorized operations. By limiting the access of unauthorized passengers, it ensures that the personal settings and information of the owner and other authorized passengers are not leaked or tampered with. The owner can adjust the preset number of rides according to actual conditions to adapt to different usage and safety needs. At the same time, the owner has the right to change the authorization status of any passenger at any time, regardless of their historical number of rides. This authorization determination method based on historical ride counts can strike a balance between ensuring safety and operational convenience, which not only helps car owners control who can use the vehicle, but also protects the safety and privacy of the vehicle and passengers.

[0058] If the occupant's historical number of rides is greater than or equal to a preset number, it is determined that an authorized occupant exists.

[0059] In specific implementation, if the number of historical rides of an occupant is greater than or equal to the preset number, it is determined that there is an authorized occupant, and as an authorized occupant, he or she will be granted extensive access to the vehicle, including driving control, personalized setting adjustments (such as preferences for seats, mirrors, air conditioning and music systems), and possible advanced functions (such as remote control and use of advanced driver assistance systems). Through this authorization method based on the number of rides, trust in the occupants is established to a certain extent, and they are considered to be familiar with the operation and rules of the vehicle. The personal settings and information of authorized occupants are properly protected, and this information can only be accessed and modified after proper authorization. Through this authorization mechanism based on the number of historical rides, not only can the occupants' permissions be managed more accurately, but also a safer and more personalized user experience can be provided, thereby enhancing the trust and satisfaction of car owners and occupants in the intelligent vehicle system.

[0060] In this embodiment, through this authorization determination method based on the number of historical rides, not only can the occupants' permissions be effectively managed, but also a safer and more personalized user experience can be provided, thereby enhancing the trust and satisfaction of car owners and occupants in the system.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the operation information of the vehicle is hidden and stored, the method further includes:

[0062] If an access request for the operation information is received, obtaining identity information of the accessing person and determining whether to allow access to the operation information according to the identity information of the accessing person;

[0063] In specific implementation, when a request for access to hidden stored operation information is received, the identity information of the accessing person needs to be confirmed first. The identity information of the requesting accessor can be obtained and verified through a series of identity authentication measures (such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and smartphone application authentication).

[0064] If the accessing person is the vehicle owner or a historical passenger corresponding to the operation information, access to the operation information is allowed.

[0065] In specific implementation, as the owner of the vehicle, the owner has the right to access all vehicle data, including historical operation information, which is based on the owner's ownership and management rights over the vehicle. For occupants who were in the vehicle when a specific operation record was generated, it is considered that they have reason to access this information, perhaps because this operation information is directly related to their driving experience or safety. Allowing the owner and related historical occupants to access operation information can increase the transparency of the system and let them understand the usage and performance of the vehicle. By limiting access rights to only the owner and related historical occupants, potential security risks are effectively controlled to prevent sensitive information from being accessed by unauthorized third parties.

[0066] In this embodiment, by allowing only the vehicle owner and related historical passengers to access the operation information, the operation information is effectively prevented from being accessed by unauthorized third parties, thereby protecting the privacy of the vehicle and passengers. Allowing the vehicle owner and related historical passengers to access the operation information increases transparency, allowing them to understand the vehicle's usage and performance, which helps to build user trust in the intelligent vehicle system. Through this identity-based operation information access control strategy, it is possible to provide transparent, secure and convenient data access services while protecting the privacy of passengers.

[0067] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present application can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present application, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

[0068] It should be noted that the above describes some embodiments of the present application. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in an order different from that in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.
