[0033] With the development of IOT technology, vehicle-domain IOT devices (vehicle-domain intelligent air-conditioning system, vehicle-domain multi-functional camping lights, smart keys, vehicle-domain refrigerators, etc.) have been widely used in vehicles. However, how to manage vehicle-domain IOT devices is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0034] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a remote management method for IOT devices, which is applied to a target cloud platform. The target cloud platform is connected to a vehicle-mounted gateway and a mobile terminal in communication. The vehicle-mounted gateway includes a vehicle-mounted communication and management TCAM controller and a digital cockpit host DHU. The vehicle-mounted gateway is connected to a vehicle-domain IOT device in communication.

[0035] Figure 1 A flowchart of a remote management method for an IOT device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The method is described from the perspective of the interaction between the target cloud platform and the mobile terminal. Figure 1 The method shown can be applied to a target cloud platform or to a mobile terminal.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the target cloud platform is a cloud platform maintained by the manufacturer of the vehicle. In some implementations, the target cloud platform may also be referred to as a telematics service provider (TSP) cloud platform.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile terminal may refer to a terminal device outside the vehicle, and the mobile terminal may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Pad), a laptop computer, a PDA, etc., and the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the target cloud platform is connected to the vehicle gateway in communication, the target cloud platform is connected to the mobile terminal in communication, and the vehicle gateway includes a TCAM controller and a DHU. It should be understood that the vehicle gateway in the embodiment of the present application can be a gateway formed by a combination of a TCAM controller and a DHU (TCAM+DHU). The TCAM controller can also be referred to as TCAM.

[0039] In some implementations, the TCAM controller is communicatively connected to the DHU. For example, the TCAM controller and the DHU may be communicatively connected via a controller area network (CAN) protocol or an Ethernet protocol. This application does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0040] In some implementations, the vehicle-mounted gateway in this application can be connected to the vehicle-domain IOT device. Among them, the vehicle-domain IOT device can refer to an IOT device that can use sensors, network connections and data processing technologies to improve the safety, comfort, efficiency and other user experience of the vehicle. The vehicle-domain IOT device may include an IOT device installed in and / or near the vehicle, and the vehicle-domain IOT device includes but is not limited to: vehicle-mounted intelligent air-conditioning system, vehicle-domain multi-functional camping light, smart seat, smart multimedia player, smart key, smart vehicle refrigerator, etc.

[0041] Figure 1 The method shown includes steps S120 to S140.

[0042] In step 120: a remote management instruction sent from a mobile terminal is received, wherein the remote management instruction can be used to remotely manage the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0043] In some implementations, a target application is configured on the mobile terminal, and the target application may refer to an application for managing the vehicle domain IOT device. The user can remotely manage the vehicle domain IOT device through the target application. It should be understood that the vehicle domain IOT device can be pre-bound in the target application, for example, the device identifier (such as device ID) of the vehicle domain IOT device can be used in the target application to bind the IOT device.

[0044] The user can trigger a remote management command through the target application, and then send the remote management command to the vehicle domain IOT device through the target cloud platform and TCAM controller to remotely manage the vehicle domain IOT device.

[0045] In step 140 : a remote management instruction is sent to the vehicle-domain IOT device through the TCAM controller to remotely manage the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0046] In some implementations, remote management of vehicle-domain IOT devices includes one or more of the following: remotely adding new vehicle-domain IOT devices; remotely deleting vehicle-domain IOT devices; and remotely viewing data of vehicle-domain IOT devices.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, a user triggers a remote management instruction in a target application of a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal sends the remote management instruction to a target cloud platform. Then, the target cloud platform sends the remote management instruction to a vehicle gateway (such as a TCAM controller). Furthermore, the remote management instruction is sent to a vehicle-domain IOT device through the TCAM controller to remotely manage the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0048] It should be noted that the remote management method of the above-mentioned IOT device is mainly implemented based on the communication architecture of "TCAM+DHU" as the gateway. The communication architecture of "TCAM+DHU" as the gateway is described in detail below.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, the "TCAM+DHU" in the vehicle can be used as a gateway to connect the vehicle-domain IOT devices without setting up an additional gateway, which can save costs and provide reliable connections.

[0050] In some implementations, the DHU is used to send connection parameters to the vehicle-domain IOT device so that a Wi-Fi connection is established between the vehicle-domain IOT device and the TCAM controller (i.e., the vehicle-domain IOT device is used to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the TCAM controller based on the connection parameters). The connection parameters include the wireless fidelity Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller.

[0051] It should be understood that the Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller may also be referred to as the hotspot name and hotspot password of the TCAM controller.

[0052] In some implementations, before using DHU to send connection parameters to the vehicle-domain IOT device, it also includes: using DHU to establish a target wireless communication connection with the vehicle-domain IOT device; then, using DHU to receive the device parameters sent by the vehicle-domain IOT device through the target wireless communication connection, the device parameters including the device identifier of the vehicle-domain IOT device and the Wi-Fi list supported by the vehicle-domain IOT device. It should be understood that the Wi-Fi name of the TCAM controller must be in the Wi-Fi list. It should be understood that if the Wi-Fi name of the TCAM controller is not in the Wi-Fi list, it means that the vehicle-domain IOT device has not searched for the Wi-Fi name of the TCAM controller, and the vehicle-domain IOT device will not be able to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the TCAM controller later.

[0053] The present application does not impose any specific limitation on the target wireless communication connection. For example, the target wireless communication connection may be a Bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, or a Zigbee connection.

[0054] As an example, if the target wireless communication connection is a Bluetooth connection, using the DHU to establish the target wireless communication connection with the vehicle-domain IOT device includes: using the DHU to receive a Bluetooth pairing request sent by the vehicle-domain IOT device; in response to a successful Bluetooth pairing, using the DHU to establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle-domain IOT device. In some implementations, the vehicle-domain IOT device may send a Bluetooth pairing request to the DHU in a broadcast manner.

[0055] In some implementations, after receiving the device parameters sent by the vehicle-domain IOT device through the target wireless communication connection using the DHU, the method further includes: selecting a Wi-Fi name in the Wi-Fi list using the DHU and entering a Wi-Fi password. Then, the DHU can be used to send the connection parameters to the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0056] In some implementations, the user can select a Wi-Fi name from a Wi-Fi list and enter a Wi-Fi password on the DHU. In other implementations, the user can also trigger the Wi-Fi connection with one click. For example, the user can click a trigger button on the DHU to trigger the connection with one click. Based on the device parameters of the vehicle-domain IOT device, the DHU can automatically select a Wi-Fi name from the Wi-Fi list and enter a Wi-Fi password. It should be understood that the Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller need to be pre-stored in the DHU.

[0057] In some implementations, the TCAM controller may be used to feed back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the DHU to instruct the DHU to perform a target operation.

[0058] As an example, if the connection result is a connection failure, the DHU can be used to perform the following target operations: reselect the Wi-Fi name in the Wi-Fi list and re-enter the Wi-Fi password so that the vehicle-domain IOT device can re-establish a Wi-Fi connection with the TCAM controller.

[0059] In some implementations, the TCAM controller is used to feed back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the DHU, including: using the TCAM controller to feed back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the vehicle-domain IOT device, and then the vehicle-domain IOT device feeds back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the DHU to instruct the DHU to perform the target operation.

[0060] In some implementations, after using the DHU to receive the device parameters sent by the vehicle-domain IOT device through the target wireless communication connection, it also includes: using the DHU to send the device identifier of the vehicle-domain IOT device and the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle where the vehicle gateway is located to the target cloud platform, so that the target cloud platform creates a mapping relationship table with the vehicle-domain IOT device, and further, the vehicle-domain IOT device can be remotely controlled by the corresponding target cloud platform.

[0061] In some implementations, the vehicle domain IOT device includes multiple IOT devices; the DHU can be used to network multiple IOT devices into a mesh network; the mesh network can also be referred to as MESH networking.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the networking modes supported by multiple IOT devices include: ordinary Bluetooth MESH networking, low-power Bluetooth (blue-tooth low energy, BLE) MESH networking, and Wi-Fi MESH networking.

[0063] In some implementations, the TCAM controller is used to cache the network connection parameters of the vehicle-domain IOT device, which include the network connection status of the vehicle-domain IOT device and the device node address of the vehicle-domain IOT device. The device node address of the vehicle-domain IOT device may refer to a number or code used to uniquely identify each vehicle-domain IOT device in the network.

[0064] In some implementations, after the DHU enters the sleep state, if the user triggers a wake-up signal in a corresponding application of the mobile terminal, the DHU can be remotely woken up through the mobile terminal or the target cloud platform.

[0065] As an example, a user can trigger a remote wake-up instruction through an application on a mobile terminal, and then the mobile terminal sends the remote wake-up instruction to the target cloud platform. Then, the target cloud platform can send a remote wake-up instruction to the TCAM controller to wake up the DHU using the TCAM controller.

[0066] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to specific examples. Figure 2 It is only to help those skilled in the art understand the embodiments of the present application, rather than to limit the embodiments of the present application to the specific values ​​or specific scenarios illustrated. Those skilled in the art can obviously make various equivalent modifications or changes based on the examples given, and such modifications or changes also fall within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

Figure 2 The communication system includes a mobile terminal, a target cloud platform, a vehicle and a vehicle-domain IOT device. The vehicle includes a TCAM controller and a DHU. The present application can combine the TCAM controller and the DHU as a gateway, and the vehicle connects to the vehicle-domain IOT device through the "TCAM+DHU" gateway.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile terminal is configured with a target application, and the user performs a vehicle DHU remote wake-up operation and an IOT device remote management operation in the target application. It should be understood that before performing a remote management operation on the IOT device, the IOT device information synchronization is also included.

[0069] In some implementations, the device information synchronization of IOT devices includes: ① The vehicle-domain IOT device is connected to the TCAM in the vehicle gateway; ② The device information of the vehicle-domain IOT device can be synchronized to the DHU through the TCAM controller; ③ The device information of the vehicle-domain IOT device can be synchronized to the target cloud platform through the TCAM controller; ④ The target cloud platform can be used to synchronize the device information of the vehicle-domain IOT device to the mobile terminal.

[0070] It should be noted that the device information of an IOT device includes but is not limited to: device operating status (such as sleep state or activation state), device node address, device name / identification, etc.

[0071] In some implementations, remote management of IOT devices includes: ⑤ A user can trigger a remote management instruction of an IOT device through a target application on a mobile terminal, and send a remote management instruction to a target cloud platform, which is used to remotely manage the vehicle domain IOT device; ⑥ The target cloud platform sends the remote management instruction to the TCAM controller; ⑧ The IOT instruction is issued and executed through the TCAM controller. Among them, remote management of IOT devices includes but is not limited to: remotely adding new vehicle domain IOT devices, remotely deleting vehicle domain IOT devices, and remotely viewing the data of vehicle domain IOT devices.

[0072] In some implementations, corresponding applications can also be configured on the DHU, and vehicle domain IOT device management can also be performed on the DHU. For example, using the DHU to manage vehicle domain IOT devices includes: ⑦ Users can trigger management instructions for IOT devices through applications on the DHU and send management instructions to the TCAM controller; ⑧ IOT instructions are issued and executed through the TCAM controller. Among them, managing IOT devices includes but is not limited to: adding new vehicle domain IOT devices, deleting vehicle domain IOT devices, and viewing the data of vehicle domain IOT devices.

[0073] In some implementations, the target cloud platform can also directly manage the vehicle domain IOT devices. For example, the target cloud platform directly manages the vehicle domain IOT devices including: ⑤ The user can trigger the remote management instruction of the IOT device through the target application on the mobile terminal, and send the remote management instruction to the target cloud platform, which is used to remotely manage the vehicle domain IOT devices; ⑨ Directly send the remote management instruction to the vehicle domain IOT device through the target cloud platform. Among them, remote management of IOT devices includes but is not limited to: remotely adding new vehicle domain IOT devices, remotely deleting vehicle domain IOT devices, and remotely viewing the data of vehicle domain IOT devices.

[0074] In some implementations, remotely waking up the DHU includes: (1) a user may trigger a target application on a mobile terminal and send a remote wake-up instruction to a target cloud platform, where the remote wake-up instruction is used to remotely wake up the DHU; (2) the target cloud platform sends the remote wake-up instruction to a TCAM controller; (3) the TCAM controller is used to wake up the DHU based on the remote wake-up instruction.

[0075] As mentioned above, the vehicle gateway is used to communicate with the vehicle domain IOT devices. Figure 3 The connection method between the vehicle gateway and the vehicle domain IOT devices is described in detail.

[0076] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for establishing a vehicle-domain IOT device connection provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The method shown includes steps S301 to S310.

[0077] In step S301, the vehicle-domain IOT device sends Bluetooth broadcast information. It should be understood that the Bluetooth broadcast information includes a Bluetooth pairing request and the Bluetooth name of the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0078] In step S302, in response to the Bluetooth pairing request, the DHU is used to complete the Bluetooth pairing with the vehicle-domain IOT device, so that a Bluetooth communication connection is established between the vehicle-domain IOT device and the DHU.

[0079] In step S303, the vehicle domain IOT device sends the device parameters sent by the vehicle domain IOT device to the DHU through the Bluetooth communication connection, and the device parameters include the device identification of the vehicle domain IOT device and the Wi-Fi list supported by the vehicle domain IOT device.

[0080] In step S304, after receiving the device identification of the vehicle domain IOT device, the DHU can send the vehicle VIN code of the vehicle where the vehicle domain IOT device is located and the device identification of the vehicle domain IOT device to the target cloud platform, so that the target cloud platform can create a mapping table with each vehicle domain IOT device. Further, the mobile terminal outside the vehicle can remotely control the vehicle domain IOT device through the corresponding target cloud platform.

[0081] In step S305, the Wi-Fi name of the TCAM controller is selected from the Wi-Fi list using the DHU, and the Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller is input. In some implementations, the DHU includes a touch screen, and the Wi-Fi name of the TCAM controller can be selected from the Wi-Fi list on the touch screen, and the Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller can be input.

[0082] In step S306, the DHU sends connection parameters to the vehicle-domain IOT device through a Bluetooth communication connection, where the connection parameters include the Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password of the TCAM controller.

[0083] In step S307, after receiving the Wi-Fi connection parameters, the vehicle-domain IOT device may try to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the TCAM controller (ie, try to connect to the TACM hotspot).

[0084] In step S308, the TCAM controller feeds back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the vehicle-domain IOT device.

[0085] In step S309, the vehicle-domain IOT device feeds back the connection result of the Wi-Fi connection to the DHU.

[0086] In step S310, if the Wi-Fi connection result is a connection failure, reconnect: use the DHU to reselect the Wi-Fi name in the Wi-Fi list and re-enter the Wi-Fi password so that the vehicle-domain IOT device can re-establish a Wi-Fi connection with the TCAM controller.
