[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings.

[0016] ​​It should be noted that the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be understood as the general meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of the present application belong, unless otherwise defined. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms used in the embodiments of the present application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms "include" or "contain" and similar terms mean that the elements or objects before the terms cover the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and similar terms 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 represent relative positional relationships, and 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 intelligent automobile technology, vehicles are not only a simple means of transportation, but 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, vehicle communication and Internet access functions, etc. These systems can collect and process a large amount of personal information and driving habit data, thereby improving the driving experience and the use efficiency of the vehicle. However, with the increasing intelligence of vehicles, the privacy protection of vehicle 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 lead to the unintentional disclosure or abuse of the privacy information of the vehicle owners and passengers. For example, the in-vehicle cameras and the driving recorders may record the pictures and sounds inside and outside the vehicle, and these records may contain sensitive information. In addition, family vehicles are often shared by multiple family members, which may lead to a situation where the private information of the vehicle, such as personal settings, navigation history, call records, etc. is accessed by other family members or temporary passengers, thereby causing privacy problems or family disputes. Therefore, how to effectively protect the privacy of vehicle owners and passengers while ensuring the convenience brought by vehicle intelligence has become a problem to be solved. Although there are some privacy protection solutions in the prior art, such as using a 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 identity of different passengers.

[0018] Based on the above problems, the applicant finds that detecting the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger and determining whether there is an unauthorized passenger according to the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger, the unauthorized passenger indicating an in-vehicle passenger with an unauthorized type, can ensure that the vehicle can identify and distinguish different passengers when the vehicle is unlocked and used, and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to the authorized type of different passengers; when it is determined that there is an unauthorized passenger in the vehicle, a privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized passenger during the presence of the unauthorized passenger in the vehicle is executed; for example, the operation information of the unauthorized passenger in the vehicle trip is restored to the state before the historical operation information is initialized, preventing other passengers from accessing the operation information when the vehicle is used next time, effectively protecting the privacy safety of the unauthorized passenger and the authorized passenger, preventing the leakage of personal information and riding habits of the unauthorized passenger, and also avoiding the other members from knowing the historical use of the vehicle.

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

[0020] The present application provides a vehicle privacy protection method, as shown in some embodiments, the method is executed by a vehicle controller or a data processor set independently of the vehicle controller, and subsequent embodiments are exemplarily illustrated by taking the vehicle controller as an example, the vehicle privacy protection method comprises: Figure 1

[0021] S101, detecting the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger, and determining whether there is an unauthorized passenger according to the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger, the unauthorized passenger indicating an in-vehicle passenger with an unauthorized type;

[0022] In specific implementation, when an outsider uses a key, a password, a remote control or a biometric identification technology (such as fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.) to unlock the vehicle and enter the vehicle, the facial features, body temperature, body weight and other biological information of the in-vehicle passenger can be captured by using the camera or other sensors in the vehicle, or the identity can be further confirmed through voice recognition. When the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger is determined, whether there is an unauthorized passenger is determined according to the identity information of the in-vehicle passenger, the unauthorized passenger indicating an in-vehicle passenger with an unauthorized type, for example, when the identity information of the passenger matches the pre-stored identity information of the authorized passenger, it is determined that there is an authorized passenger; or, when the identity information of the passenger matches the pre-stored identity information of the unauthorized passenger, it is determined that there is an unauthorized passenger; or, when the identity information of the passenger does not match the pre-stored identity information of the authorized passenger, whether there is an unauthorized passenger can be determined according to the historical riding times of the passenger. It can be ensured that the vehicle can identify and distinguish different passengers when the vehicle is unlocked and used, and the settings and function access permissions of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the authorized type of different passengers, thereby effectively protecting the privacy of the vehicle owner and the safety of the vehicle.

[0023] ​S102, if it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant in the vehicle, a privacy protection strategy for the period when the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle is executed.

[0024] In specific implementation, when the vehicle is unlocked and it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant, the state is marked, when the occupant leaves the vehicle and the vehicle is locked, the vehicle receives a lock signal and starts to execute the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized occupant, the operation information of the unauthorized occupant in the vehicle trip is restored to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information (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 the personalized information when the vehicle is used next time. The sensitive information such as the recent destination record and driving path can also be cleared or hidden, avoiding being viewed by other occupants. Specifically, when the privacy protection strategy for the period when the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle is executed, the video recorded by the driving recorder is hidden to a hidden folder after the vehicle is locked, and the owner can view the video recorded by the driving recorder. Through these measures, the privacy security of the unauthorized occupant and the authorized occupant can be effectively protected, the personal information and the riding habit of the unauthorized occupant are prevented from being leaked, and the historical use of the vehicle can also be avoided to be known by other members.

[0025] In the embodiment, the identity information of the occupant in the vehicle is detected, and it is determined whether there is an unauthorized occupant according to the identity information of the occupant in the vehicle; if it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant in the vehicle, a privacy protection strategy for the period when the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle is executed, which can ensure that the vehicle can identify and distinguish different occupants when the vehicle is unlocked and used, and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to the authorized types of different occupants, for example, the operation information of the unauthorized occupant in the vehicle trip is restored to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information, preventing other occupants from accessing the operation information when the vehicle is used next time, effectively protecting the privacy security of the unauthorized occupant and the authorized occupant, preventing the personal information and the riding habit of the unauthorized occupant from being leaked, and avoiding the historical use of the vehicle to be known by other members.

[0026] In some embodiments, the privacy protection strategy for the period when the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle includes:

[0027] If it is determined that all the occupants in the vehicle are unauthorized occupants, a privacy protection strategy for authorized occupants is executed after the vehicle is started, and a privacy protection strategy for the period when the unauthorized occupant is in the vehicle is executed after the vehicle is locked.

[0028] In a specific implementation, if all the passengers in the vehicle are unauthorized passengers, the privacy protection strategy for the authorized passenger will be executed after the vehicle is started, for example, all the personalized settings of the authorized passenger (such as seat adjustment, air conditioning temperature, media play preference, etc.) are initialized or restored to the default state, ensuring that the unauthorized passenger cannot access or perceive the personal preferences of the authorized passenger. The unauthorized passenger can also be restricted from accessing certain functions, such as the internal storage system of the vehicle, the personalized settings of the advanced driving assistance system (ADAS), and other functions that may reveal the privacy of the authorized passenger. The privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized passenger present in the vehicle during the vehicle lock is executed, such as restoring the operation information of the vehicle during the vehicle trip of the unauthorized passenger to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information (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 using the vehicle next time, and all the trip records generated during use can also be encrypted to prevent other passengers from accessing. Restoring the operation information of the vehicle during the vehicle trip of the unauthorized passenger to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information ensures that the vehicle can maintain its personalized settings and preferences when the authorized passenger uses it again. Through these strategies, different use scenarios can be flexibly handled, effectively protecting the privacy and personal settings of the authorized passenger from being infringed by unauthorized passengers, and avoiding the leakage of the privacy and personal settings of unauthorized passengers. For shared vehicles, family vehicles, or enterprise 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 passengers and authorized passengers in the vehicle, based on the seating position of the authorized passenger, it is determined to execute the privacy protection strategy for the authorized passenger after the vehicle is started, and to execute the privacy protection strategy for the unauthorized passenger present in the vehicle during the vehicle lock.

[0030] In practice, the authorized occupant's seating position is first identified, which can be achieved through seat sensors, interior cameras, etc. Based on the authorized occupant's position, a privacy protection strategy is executed after the vehicle starts. When the authorized occupant is at the target position, the historical operation information corresponding to that position is retained, while the historical operation information for other positions is initialized. When the authorized occupant is not at the target position, the vehicle's historical operation information is initialized, with the target position being the position where the authorized member has sat the most times within a preset historical period. After the vehicle is locked, a privacy protection strategy is executed for unauthorized occupants while they are in the vehicle, restoring their vehicle operation information during the journey to the state before the historical operation information was initialized, preventing other occupants from accessing this personalized information the next time they use the vehicle. This seating position-based privacy protection strategy allows for flexible responses when multiple occupants share the vehicle, protecting the privacy of authorized occupants while also considering the overall vehicle safety and operational convenience, and safeguarding the interests and privacy rights of all occupants in complex usage scenarios.

[0031] In this embodiment, by identifying the specific seating location of authorized passengers, privacy protection measures can be applied more precisely. Settings are protected or reset only for specific locations, ensuring the protection of authorized passengers' personal settings and privacy without affecting other users of the vehicle. The location-based privacy protection strategy offers high flexibility, adapting to different riding situations and user needs. Whether traveling alone or in a group, it effectively manages and protects the privacy of each passenger.

[0032] In some embodiments, the execution of a privacy protection policy for authorized occupants after vehicle startup includes:

[0033] If the vehicle starts, initialize the vehicle's historical operation information;

[0034] In practice, when the vehicle is started, all personal settings associated with the previous user are cleared or reset, such as seat position, air conditioning temperature, music playlists, and the nearest destination in the navigation system. The operation logs from the previous trip can also be cleared, including records of speed adjustments, light usage, and media controls. Any system states that might store personal preferences or behavioral patterns are reset, such as driver assistance system configurations, the in-vehicle phone book, and call logs. This ensures that no trace of the previous occupant remains, thus protecting personal privacy and data security.

[0035] The privacy protection strategy implemented after the vehicle is locked, for the period during which the unauthorized occupant is inside the vehicle, includes:

[0036] If the vehicle trip ends and the vehicle is locked, the unauthorized passenger's operation information on the vehicle during the vehicle trip is restored to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information, and the unauthorized passenger's operation information on the vehicle is hidden.

[0037] In specific implementation, when the vehicle trip ends, that is, the vehicle stops running, and the vehicle is locked (by key, remote control or automatic lock vehicle system), the unauthorized passenger's operation information on the vehicle during the vehicle trip is restored to the state before the initialization of the historical operation information, including but not limited to seat adjustment, air conditioning setting, music playing preference, etc., that is, if the unauthorized passenger changes any vehicle setting or configuration during the trip, these changes will be automatically cancelled, ensuring that the vehicle returns to the state set by the authorized user last time; all operation data generated by the unauthorized passenger during the vehicle use will be transferred to an encrypted and isolated storage area, and the isolated stored data can only be accessed by users with appropriate permissions. Ensure that the operation of the unauthorized passenger does not leave any traces that can be accessed by subsequent passengers, protect the privacy of the owner or authorized passenger, prevent the operation of the unauthorized passenger from causing long-term impact on the vehicle system, and ensure the integrity of the functions and settings of the vehicle; the vehicle can ensure the privacy and safety of all passengers are not infringed while providing necessary use flexibility, especially when the vehicle is used by multiple people or in vehicle sharing service.

[0038] In this embodiment, by resetting the historical operation information each time the vehicle starts, it is ensured that the personal settings and operation records of the previous passenger will not be accessed by the subsequent passenger, thereby protecting personal privacy. The operation information of the unauthorized passenger is restored to the original state and hidden, preventing any changes to the vehicle settings from affecting the subsequent authorized passenger, ensuring privacy and security. Restoring the vehicle to the state set by the authorized passenger last time ensures that the functions and settings of the vehicle remain complete and consistent, avoiding setting confusion or potential safety risks caused by random operation of the unauthorized passenger. Through these strategies, the vehicle can ensure the privacy and safety of all passengers are not infringed while providing necessary use flexibility, especially when the vehicle is used by multiple people or in vehicle sharing service.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 based on the riding position of the authorized passenger, the privacy protection strategy for the authorized passenger is determined to be executed after the vehicle starts, including:

[0040] S201, detecting the position of the authorized passenger, judging whether the authorized passenger is in a target position, the target position being the position where the authorized member has the most riding times within a preset historical time length;

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

[0042] In S202A, if the authorized passenger is in the target position, the historical operation information corresponding to the target position is retained, and the historical operation information corresponding to other positions is initialized.

[0043] In implementation, when it is detected that the authorized passenger is sitting in the position that he / she uses most frequently, all historical operation information related to this position, such as seat adjustment preferences, air conditioning settings, multimedia system preferences, etc., is retained, ensuring that the passenger can enjoy a coherent and personalized use experience, and at the same time, the historical operation information of other seats is initialized, which can prevent other unauthorized passengers from being able to access or modify the personal information of the authorized passenger.

[0044] In S202B, if the authorized passenger is not in the target position, the historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized.

[0045] In implementation, if the authorized passenger is not in the target position, all historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized, protecting the privacy of the authorized passenger and preventing his / her personal settings from being misused or viewed by other passengers. Through the privacy protection strategy based on the position of the authorized passenger, the vehicle can provide a safer and more personalized driving and riding experience for the authorized passenger.

[0046] In this embodiment, by retaining the historical operation information of the authorized passenger in his / her commonly used position, it is ensured that the passenger can enjoy customized settings such as seat angle, air conditioning temperature, and media playback preferences every time he / she enters the vehicle, thereby improving the comfort of driving and riding. When the authorized passenger is not in his / her commonly used position, all historical operation information of the vehicle is initialized, which can effectively prevent other passengers from accessing or modifying the personal settings of the authorized passenger, thereby protecting his / her privacy. Through these strategies, the vehicle can provide the necessary flexibility of use while ensuring the privacy and safety of all passengers are not infringed.

[0047] In some embodiments, determining whether there is an unauthorized passenger according to the identity information of the passenger in the vehicle, the unauthorized passenger indicating a passenger in the vehicle whose authorized type is unauthorized, comprises:

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

[0049] In implementation, the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle is first collected through biometric identification technology (such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or voice recognition) or through communication with the vehicle via a smartphone application. The collected identity information is then compared with a pre-stored authorized occupant database containing the identity information of all personnel authorized by the vehicle owner or administrator. 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 occupant's identity information matches the pre-stored identity information of the unauthorized occupant, it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant.

[0051] In implementation, the identity information of the occupant entering the vehicle is first collected through biometric identification technology (such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or voice recognition) or through communication with the vehicle via a smartphone application. The collected identity information is then compared with a pre-stored unauthorized occupant database containing the identity information of all personnel marked by the vehicle owner or administrator as unauthorized. 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 occupant's identity information does not match the pre-stored identity information of the authorized occupant, it is determined whether there is an unauthorized occupant based on the occupant's historical ride count.

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

[0054] In this embodiment, by accurately identifying and distinguishing authorized occupants and unauthorized occupants, unauthorized access and potential malicious operations can be effectively prevented, thereby protecting the vehicle from illegal use or damage. For cases where the identity information does not match the pre-stored identity information of the authorized occupant, the authorization type is evaluated by considering the historical ride count, adding an additional security level to ensure that only truly trusted occupants can access sensitive or critical functions of the vehicle. By identifying the occupant's identity and adjusting the state of the operation information accordingly, the occupant's privacy and sensitive data can be protected.

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

[0056] If the occupant's historical ride count is less than a preset number, it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant.

[0057] In implementation, the number of rides of each occupant is recorded through built-in sensors and user identification technologies (such as facial recognition, RFID tags, etc.), and the preset number is a threshold set by the vehicle owner or system administrator based on vehicle usage and safety considerations, representing the minimum number of rides considered to trust an occupant and grant more permissions (for example, the preset number can be set to 10 times). If the historical ride number of an occupant is less than the preset number, it is determined that there is an unauthorized occupant, who may be subject to strict access restrictions and unable to use certain functions of the vehicle, such as driving control, personalized setting adjustment, etc. This measure can prevent people who are not familiar or fully trusted from abusing the vehicle, thereby protecting the vehicle from unauthorized operation, and by limiting the access of unauthorized occupants, the personal settings and information of the owner and other authorized occupants are protected from being leaked or tampered with. The owner can adjust the preset number according to actual conditions to adapt to different usage and safety needs, and the owner has the right to change the authorization status of any occupant at any time regardless of their historical ride number. Through this authorization determination method based on historical ride number, a balance between safety and operational convenience can be found, not only helping the owner to control who can use the vehicle, but also protecting the safety and privacy of the vehicle and the occupants.

[0058] If the historical ride number of an occupant is greater than or equal to the preset number, it is determined that there is an authorized occupant.

[0059] In implementation, if the historical ride number of an occupant is greater than or equal to the preset number, it is determined that there is an authorized occupant, who will have extensive access to the vehicle, including driving control, personalized setting adjustment (such as seat, mirror, air conditioning and music system preference settings) and possible advanced functions (such as remote control and use of advanced driving assistance systems). Through this authorization method based on ride number, a certain degree of trust is established for the occupant, considering that they are familiar with the operation and rules of the vehicle. The personal settings and information of authorized occupants are properly protected, and these information can only be accessed and modified after proper authorization. Through this authorization mechanism based on historical ride number, not only can the permissions of occupants be more accurately managed, but also a safer and more personalized use experience can be provided, thereby enhancing the trust and satisfaction of the owner and occupants of the intelligent vehicle system.

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

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

[0062] If an access request for the operation information is received, identity information of an access person is obtained, and whether to allow access to the operation information is determined according to the identity information of the access person.

[0063] In specific implementation, when receiving an access request for the hidden stored operation information, the identity information of the access person needs to be confirmed first, and the identity information of the access person can be obtained and verified through a series of identity verification measures (such as face recognition, fingerprint scanning, and smart phone application authentication).

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

[0065] In specific implementation, as the owner of the vehicle, the vehicle owner has the right to obtain all vehicle data, including historical operation information, which is based on the ownership and management right of the vehicle owner to the vehicle. For passengers in the vehicle at the time of generating a specific operation record, it is considered that they have a reason to access these information, which may be because these operation information is directly related to their driving experience or safety. Allowing the vehicle owner and the related historical passengers to access the operation information can increase the transparency of the system and enable them to understand the usage and performance of the vehicle. By limiting the access permission to only the vehicle owner and the related historical passengers, potential security risks are effectively controlled, and sensitive information is prevented from being accessed by unauthorized third parties.

[0066] In the embodiment, by allowing only the vehicle owner and the 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 the passengers. Allowing the vehicle owner and the related historical passengers to access the operation information increases the transparency, enabling them to understand the usage and performance of the vehicle, which helps to establish the trust of users in the intelligent vehicle system. Through this identity-based operation information access control strategy, transparent, secure and convenient data access services can be provided while protecting the privacy of the passengers.

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