Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of remote communication technology, and in particular to a vehicle remote control status synchronization method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the vehicle's remote communication system, it is necessary to implement real-time monitoring and synchronization of the status of the on-board communication terminal (TBOX) to ensure that remote control instructions can be accurately executed when TBOX is available, and to promptly notify the remote control application (APP) when TBOX is unavailable or restarted, to avoid remote control failures caused by unknown TBOX status.

[0003] When the existing TBOX restarts due to meeting the restart conditions, the remote control system cannot detect and synchronize the unavailable status of the TBOX in real time, resulting in the remote control instructions being sent but not executed during the TBOX restart. At the same time, the remote control system cannot provide accurate status feedback to the remote control application, resulting in the remote control failure and the failure to notify the remote control application of the specific reason for the control failure in a timely manner.

This process ensures that when TBOX starts to restart, its unavailable status can be transmitted to the connected car platform in a timely manner. Subsequently, after the platform receives the unavailable status signal from TBOX, it will update its preset status to unavailable, so that when the remote control application (APP) sends a remote control command, the platform can send a preset prompt message to APP based on the current unavailable status of TBOX, informing the user that the current TBOX cannot execute the remote control command. Compared with the existing technology, real-time monitoring and synchronization of TBOX status is realized, solving the problem that remote control commands cannot be executed during TBOX restart or failure, improving the reliability of the system and the user's control experience, and reducing the risk of user distress and control failure caused by unclear status.

[0054] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0055] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: obtaining the current vehicle state, and when the vehicle state meets the restart condition of the vehicle communication terminal, sending a restart signal to the vehicle communication terminal, so that the vehicle communication terminal sends an unavailable state signal to the networked vehicle platform, and when the unavailable state signal is sent, the vehicle communication terminal starts to restart;

[0057] Receiving the unavailable status signal sent by the connected vehicle platform;

[0058] Upon receiving the unavailable state signal, setting the preset state to an unavailable state;

[0059] When receiving a remote control instruction sent by a remote control application, a preset prompt message is sent to the remote control application according to the unavailable state.

[0060] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description is made by taking the identification of the automobile remote service providing platform as the execution subject.

[0061] Since the existing vehicle remote control system lacks an effective real-time status monitoring and synchronization mechanism, it is impossible to timely and accurately update and communicate the status of the TBOX when it restarts or fails.

[0062] The present application provides a solution to achieve real-time monitoring and synchronization of TBOX status, solves the problem that remote control instructions cannot be executed during TBOX restart or failure, improves system reliability and user control experience, and reduces the risk of user distress and control failure caused by unclear status.

[0063] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a vehicle remote control state synchronization device, a car remote service providing platform, etc. The following takes the car remote service providing platform as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0064] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle remote control state synchronization method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the vehicle remote control status synchronization method of the present application.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vehicle remote control state synchronization method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0066] Step S10, obtaining the current vehicle state, and when the vehicle state meets the restart condition of the vehicle communication terminal, sending a restart signal to the vehicle communication terminal, so that the vehicle communication terminal sends an unavailable state signal to the connected vehicle platform, and when the unavailable state signal is sent, the vehicle communication terminal starts to restart;

[0067] It should be noted that the automotive remote service provider platform is usually referred to as TSP, namely Telematics Service Provider. The functions of TSP include but are not limited to real-time monitoring of vehicle status, collection and analysis of vehicle data, processing remote control commands, management of software updates, coordination of emergency rescue services, maintenance of network security, provision of user interfaces, and integration of third-party services.

[0068] In addition, it should be noted that the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, usually referred to as TBOX, is an electronic device installed in the vehicle. In the remote control system, the vehicle can be controlled through the TBOX through a smartphone application (APP) or other remote devices, such as remotely starting the engine, unlocking the door, adjusting the air conditioning settings, etc.

[0069] It should be noted that the connected car platform, usually referred to as DCVP, is mainly responsible for handling data communications inside and outside the vehicle and managing information exchange between the vehicle and remote service providers.

[0070] In addition, the restart signal is used to inform the TBOX that a restart operation is required. The unavailable status signal indicates that the TBOX is currently restarting and is in an unavailable status.

[0071] It is understandable that obtaining the current vehicle status means that the system needs to monitor and collect the current status information of the vehicle in real time, including but not limited to the vehicle's power system status, TBOX communication status, vehicle operation mode, etc.

[0072] In addition, it can be understood that sending a restart signal to the vehicle communication terminal means that when the system detects that the vehicle status meets the restart condition, TBOX will send a restart signal to DVCP through APN1 to inform TBOX that a restart operation is required.

[0073] The vehicle communication terminal starts restarting, which means that after the unavailable status signal is sent, TBOX will start the restart process, which may include closing the currently running process, clearing the cache, resetting the hardware status, etc.

[0074] Step S20, receiving the unavailable status signal sent by the connected vehicle platform;

[0075] It can be understood that receiving the unavailable status signal sent by the connected vehicle platform means that after TBOX starts to restart, DCVP will send the unavailable status signal to TSP through the 0x0106 interface, and TSP will receive the unavailable status signal sent by DCVP.

[0076] Step S30, when receiving the unavailable state signal, setting the preset state to the unavailable state;

[0077] It should be noted that the preset status refers to the vehicle status information maintained internally by the TSP. This information may be "available", "unavailable" or other statuses, which are used to identify the current service capabilities of the TBOX. "Available" means that remote control operations can be performed through the TBOX, and "unavailable" means that the TBOX is restarting or in other unavailable states, and remote control operations cannot be performed through the TBOX at this time.

[0078] It can be understood that when the TSP receives the unavailable status signal, the TSP updates the status information of the TBOX, changing it from the previous "available" or other status to "unavailable".

[0079] Step S40: upon receiving a remote control instruction sent by a remote control application, sending a preset prompt message to the remote control application according to the unavailable state.

[0080] It should be noted that the remote control application, referred to as APP, is a software program that users can install and use on smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices to achieve remote control and monitoring of the vehicle, such as remotely starting or stopping the engine, unlocking or locking the doors, turning on or off the air conditioning in the car, etc.

[0081] In addition, it should be noted that the preset prompt information refers to a pre-defined message or notification, which is automatically sent to the user when TBOX is unavailable, notifying the user of matters that require the user's attention, including but not limited to vehicle status, operation results, etc.

[0082] In actual operation, if the user sends a remote control command during the daily restart of TBOX, TSP will send a prompt message to the APP according to the unavailable status of TBOX, for example: "The vehicle is restarting and the remote control command cannot be executed temporarily."

[0083] In a feasible implementation, step S10 may include steps S11 to S16:

[0084] Step S11, obtaining the state of the current vehicle power system and the state of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal;

[0085] It should be noted that the power system status refers to the current working status of the vehicle power system, including but not limited to whether it is in a power-off state or the power-off time.

[0086] In addition, it should be noted that the status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal refers to the current working status of the TBOX, including but not limited to whether it is in an upgrade state, whether it is online, whether it can communicate normally, etc.

[0087] Step S12, when it is detected that the state of the power system of the vehicle is turned off for the first time within the first preset time period, the first restart condition is met;

[0088] It should be noted that the first preset time period refers to a set time window. In this embodiment, the first preset time period represents a day.

[0089] It can be understood that when the vehicle's power system is detected to be shut down for the first time within the first preset time period, that is, when the vehicle is powered off for the first time every day and there is no message on the bus, a daily restart will be performed. At this time, the first restart condition is met to solve problems such as memory leakage and program trampling.

[0090] Step S13, when it is detected that the state of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal of the vehicle is upgraded through a preset upgrade method, the second restart condition is met;

[0091] It should be noted that the preset upgrade method refers to a specified TBOX update method. In this embodiment, the preset upgrade method refers to updating via OTA (Over-The-Air) or updating via a USB flash drive.

[0092] It is understandable that when the status of the vehicle's on-board communication terminal is completed through the preset upgrade method, the TBOX upgrade is completed through a USB flash drive or OTA. At this time, the second restart condition is met, and the module backup and software update are completed.

[0093] Step S14, when it is detected that the state of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal of the vehicle is unable to connect to the vehicle-mounted infotainment system, a third restart condition is met;

[0094] It should be noted that the in-vehicle infotainment system refers to the information system inside the vehicle, providing functions such as navigation and music playback. In this embodiment, the in-vehicle infotainment system refers to the vehicle computer, which integrates multiple functions such as audio and video playback, navigation, vehicle communication, vehicle status monitoring, etc., to provide drivers and passengers with rich information and entertainment services. Modern vehicle computer systems usually have a touch screen interface, support functions such as smartphone connection, Internet access and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), enhance the driving experience, and improve the intelligence level of the vehicle.

[0095] It is understandable that when it is detected that the vehicle's on-board communication terminal is unable to connect to the on-board infotainment system, the third restart condition is met. By restarting TBOX, an attempt is made to restore the connection status with the vehicle computer to ensure a normal network status.

[0096] Step S15, when it is detected that the state of the power system of the vehicle is off for a second preset time period, a fourth restart condition is met;

[0097] It should be noted that the second preset time period represents another time window set by the system, which is used to define how long the TBOX needs to be restarted after the power is turned off. In this embodiment, the second preset time period is 10 minutes.

[0098] It is understandable that when it is detected that the vehicle's power system is turned off for the second preset time period, that is, after the vehicle is powered off for 10 minutes, the fourth restart condition is met, and the cache is cleared and the CPU is released by restarting TBOX.

[0099] Step S16, when it is detected that any one of the first restart condition, the second restart condition, the third restart condition and the fourth restart condition is met, the restart condition of the vehicle communication terminal is met, and a restart signal is sent to the vehicle communication terminal, so that the vehicle communication terminal sends an unavailable status signal to the connected vehicle platform.

[0100] It is understandable that when any one of the above-mentioned first restart condition, second restart condition, third restart condition and fourth restart condition is met, it means that TBOX needs to restart to solve the corresponding problem or complete the necessary update. Before receiving the restart signal and preparing to restart, TBOX needs to send an unavailable status signal to DCVP to inform it that it is about to restart and will be unavailable during the restart.

[0101] In a feasible implementation manner, step S20 may include steps S21 to S22:

[0102] Step S21, when receiving the unavailable state signal, recording the duration of the preset state being the unavailable state;

[0103] It is understandable that, when receiving the unavailable state signal, the TSP starts to record the length of time that the TBOX is in the unavailable state from that moment on.

[0104] Step S22: when the duration is a third preset time period and the available state signal is not received, setting the preset state as an available state.

[0105] It should be noted that the third preset time period represents another time window set by the system, which is used to determine the maximum time that the TBOX should remain in the unavailable state before sending an available state signal. In this embodiment, the third preset time period is 3 minutes.

[0106] This embodiment solves the temporary service interruption and status synchronization problems caused by the restart of the vehicle communication terminal (TBOX) in the traditional vehicle remote control system by means of real-time monitoring of the vehicle status and intelligently judging the restart requirements according to preset conditions. It realizes timely notification of the connected vehicle platform (DCVP) and the vehicle remote service provider platform (TSP) during the restart of TBOX, and accurately sends preset prompt information to the remote control application (APP), effectively avoiding invalid remote control instructions, reducing the user's uncertainty about the vehicle status, and improving the reliability of remote control and user experience. At the same time, by setting a preset time period to automatically restore TBOX to an available state, the accuracy of the system status and the continuity of the vehicle remote service are ensured, achieving the beneficial effect of enhancing the intelligent level of vehicle remote control and improving the system response efficiency.

[0107] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 After step S40, the vehicle remote control state synchronization method further includes steps S50 to S80:

[0108] Step S50, obtaining the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, and when detecting that the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal is completed, sending a restart completion signal to the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, so that the vehicle-mounted communication terminal sends an available status signal to the connected vehicle platform;

[0109] It should be noted that the available status signal is a signal sent by TBOX to the connected car platform, indicating that TBOX can now work normally and is ready to receive remote control commands.

[0110] It can be understood that obtaining the restart status of the on-vehicle communication terminal and sending a restart completion signal to the on-vehicle communication terminal when detecting that the restart status of the on-vehicle communication terminal is completed means that when TSP detects that TBOX has successfully completed the restart process and all functions of TBOX have returned to normal, the restart status is considered to be completed. Once TSP detects that the restart of TBOX is completed, TBOX will send a restart completion signal to DCVP.

[0111] In a feasible implementation, step S50 may include steps A501 to A503:

[0112] Step A501, obtaining the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, and when detecting that the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal is completed, sending a restart completion signal to the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, so that the vehicle-mounted communication terminal sends an available status signal to the connected vehicle platform;

[0113] It can be understood that the restart status of the on-board communication terminal is obtained, and when it is detected that the restart status of the on-board communication terminal is completed, a restart completion signal is sent to the on-board communication terminal, so that the on-board communication terminal sends an available status signal to the connected vehicle platform, that is, after the restart is completed, TBOX will send a restart completion signal to DCVP, indicating that it can now receive remote control instructions.

[0114] Step A502, obtaining the sending state of the available status signal, and when the sending state of the available status signal is sending completion and a fourth preset time period has passed, sending the restart completion signal to the vehicle communication terminal, so that the vehicle communication terminal resends the available status signal to the connected vehicle platform;

[0115] It should be noted that the fourth preset time period represents another time window set by the system, which is used to specify the time interval for cyclically sending the available status signal. In this embodiment, the fourth preset time period is 200ms.

[0116] It is understandable that, after the fourth preset time period, TBOX will resend the available status signal to DCVP to ensure that the available status of TBOX is transmitted to DCVP, thereby achieving accuracy and up-to-dateness of the restart status information.

[0117] Step A503, within a preset period, returning the obtained restart status of the vehicle communication terminal, and when detecting that the restart status of the vehicle communication terminal is completed, sending a restart completion signal to the vehicle communication terminal, so that the vehicle communication terminal sends an available status signal to the connected vehicle platform.

[0118] It should be noted that the preset period refers to a set periodic time interval, which is used to control the time period for cyclically sending the available status. In this embodiment, the preset period is 1 minute.

[0119] In actual application scenarios, TBOX performs a daily restart after the first power-off of each day. After TBOX completes the restart, it sends an available status signal to DCVP. If it is after 200ms, TBOX will send the signal again for 1 minute to ensure the accuracy of the status information.

[0120] In a feasible implementation manner, step S50 may include steps S51 to S52:

[0121] Step S51, obtaining the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, and when detecting that the restart status of the vehicle-mounted communication terminal is completed, sending a restart completion signal to the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, so that the vehicle-mounted communication terminal sends a logout message to the connected vehicle platform;

[0122] It should be noted that the logout message is a message in a communication protocol, which is used to send a notification to the other party entity when the communication entity ends the current communication session or completes a certain operation.

[0123] Step S52, obtaining the sending status of the logout message, and when the sending status of the logout message is sending completion, sending the restart completion signal to the vehicle-mounted communication terminal to make the vehicle-mounted communication terminal enter a sleep process.

[0124] It should be noted that the sleep process refers to a series of steps and operations that an on-board communication terminal or other electronic device enters a low-power or inactive state after completing necessary operations or under predetermined circumstances. The sleep process is used to save energy, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and ensure that the device can be quickly awakened and restored to normal working state when needed.

[0125] In actual application scenarios, TBOX performs a daily restart after the first power-off of each day. After TBOX completes the restart and sends a logout message to DCVP, TBOX then enters a dormant state until it needs to be woken up next time to provide services.

[0126] Step S60, receiving the available status signal sent by the connected vehicle platform;

[0127] Step S70, when receiving the available state signal, setting the preset state to the available state;

[0128] It can be understood that steps S60 and S70 indicate that the TSP receives the available status signal sent by the TBOX via the DCVP, and the TSP changes the status of the TBOX from "unavailable" to "available" according to the received available status signal.

[0129] Step S80, when receiving the remote control instruction sent by the remote control application, starting the remote control process according to the remote control instruction.

[0130] It is understandable that after confirming that the TBOX status is "available", the TSP can perform corresponding remote control operations according to the received remote control instructions when receiving the remote control instructions sent by the remote control application.

[0131] In a feasible implementation manner, step S80 may include steps S81 to S83:

[0132] Step S81, judging the preset state and obtaining a judgment result;

[0133] It can be understood that the determination result obtained by determining the preset state is that the TSP evaluates the state of the TBOX based on the preset state used to identify the current service capability of the TBOX, such as "available" or "unavailable".

[0134] Step S82, when the judgment result is that the preset state is an available state and the unavailable state signal sent by the connected vehicle platform is not received, starting the remote control process according to the remote control instruction;

[0135] It can be understood that failure to receive the unavailable status signal sent by the connected vehicle platform indicates that the TSP has not received a signal from the DCVP (connected vehicle platform), indicating that the TBOX is in an available state.

[0136] In addition, it can be understood that when the judgment result is that the preset state is an available state and the unavailable state signal sent by the connected vehicle platform is not received, starting the remote control process according to the remote control instruction means that the preset state must be an available state and the unavailable state signal sent by the connected vehicle platform is not received before the remote control process can be started.

[0137] Step S83: When the judgment result is that the preset state is an unavailable state, the preset prompt information is sent to the remote control application.

[0138] It is understandable that when the judgment result is that the preset state is an unavailable state, sending the preset prompt information to the remote control application means that the TSP sends a predefined message or notification to the remote control application according to the unavailable state of TBOX, informing the user that the remote control operation cannot be performed currently.

[0139] In actual applications, during the period when TSP marks the TBOX status as unavailable, if a remote control command is received, it will directly feedback to the APP "The controller is restarting, please try again later", feedback the vehicle status to the user, and prompt the user.

[0140] This embodiment solves the technical problem that remote control instructions cannot be accurately executed or are executed with delay during TBOX restart by means of technical means of real-time monitoring of the restart status of the on-board communication terminal and intelligently sending corresponding available or unavailable status signals to the connected vehicle platform according to its status changes, thereby achieving the beneficial effect of ensuring the continuity, accuracy and reliability of the remote control process. At the same time, the preset prompt information can be notified in time when the TBOX status changes.

[0141] For example, in order to help understand the implementation process of the vehicle remote control state synchronization method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A brief flow chart of a vehicle remote control state synchronization method is provided, specifically:

[0142] Detect the restart conditions of TBOX. When the conditions are met, TBOX pushes its unavailable status to DCVP (is_tbox_available=0), and then DCVP passes this status signal to TSP. After receiving the unavailable status of TBOX, if TSP receives a remote control command from APP, it will judge the TBOX status and feedback prompt information to APP. After TBOX completes the restart, it pushes its available status to DCVP (is_tbox_available=1), and DCVP updates this status to TSP. TSP updates the interface information according to the status change of TBOX, and enters the normal remote control process when TBOX is available. At the same time, TBOX will also send a logout message to DCVP to indicate its status. TSP will feedback the TBOX status to APP accordingly, reminding users to try again later when TBOX is unavailable, and continue the remote control process after TBOX is available.

[0143] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the vehicle remote control status synchronization method of the present application.
