Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of road transportation, and in particular to a method for binding and tracking a driver and a vehicle based on a mobile phone and an ETC device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the tracking of transport vehicles and drivers is either separated or weakly bound, mainly using the following methods:

[0003] The first type: using the GPS satellite positioning vehicle terminal installed on the vehicle to track the vehicle location information in real time to achieve vehicle tracking. Its disadvantage is that it only tracks the vehicle, but not the driver. Using the driver's mobile phone to achieve tracking through mobile positioning, the driver's real-time location can be located. Its disadvantage is that it can only locate the driver, not the vehicle. In this way, there is a possibility that the transport vehicle and the driver are separated, so it is impossible to ensure the one-to-one correspondence between the actual vehicle used in the transportation and the driver.

[0004] The second type: using the application installed on the driver's mobile phone to take photos of the vehicle information including the license plate number at departure and arrival, the mobile phone can track the vehicle through mobile positioning during transportation, and can locate the driver's real-time location and the vehicle's starting position. Its disadvantage is that the driver and the vehicle are in a weak binding state, there is a possibility of photo fraud, and it cannot solve the binding tracking and one-to-one correspondence between the vehicle and the driver.

[0025] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances of the specification.

[0026] The present invention provides Figure 1 The method for binding and tracking a driver and a vehicle based on a mobile phone and an ETC device shown includes a mobile phone 1 used by the driver, an ETC device 2, a mobile application installed in the mobile phone 1, a mobile network 3, a remote server 4, and a vehicle 5, wherein:

[0027] The ETC device 2 is fixed on the front windshield in the cab of the vehicle 5, and the mobile application is installed on the mobile phone 1, which communicates with the remote server 4 through the mobile phone communication, i.e. the mobile network 3, and the remote server 4 verifies, stores and manages the data information of the driver, the vehicle and the mobile phone;

[0028] Once the ETC device 2 is removed after being affixed to the vehicle 5, the electronic tag of the ETC device 2 becomes invalid. The ETC device 2 has a unique identification tag for the vehicle. After getting on the vehicle, the driver turns on the Bluetooth and positioning service of the mobile phone 1 and the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2, and the application in the mobile phone 1 starts. The application in the mobile phone 1 starts and begins to search for electronic tags via Bluetooth. The electronic tags here refer to the electronic tags of the ETC device 2. If they are not connected within a specific time (usually 2 minutes), the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 will automatically turn off, and the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 needs to be reopened for connection. To prevent the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 from automatically turning off, the remote server 4 generally sets the application in the mobile phone 1 to communicate with the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 once within 2 minutes to ensure that the Bluetooth connection is normal.

[0029] The remote server 4 and the mobile phone 1 use base station positioning technology LBS to track the location. Since wireless communication network signals are used, positioning can be achieved in places where there are mobile phone signals.

[0030] In the present invention, the method for binding and tracking drivers and vehicles based on mobile phones and ETC devices is that before the driver starts the transportation business, he first uses the application in the mobile phone 1 to connect the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 pasted on the front windshield in the cab of the vehicle 5 to achieve the binding of the mobile phone 1 and the vehicle 5. The Bluetooth connection is generally maintained for 2 minutes. To prevent the Bluetooth connection from being interrupted, the remote server 4 is set to communicate with the ETC device 2 via Bluetooth through the mobile phone 1 once within 2 minutes. After the binding is achieved, various operations of the application in the mobile phone 1 can be carried out normally, the driver can start the transportation business, and the remote server 4 starts to track the driver, vehicle and transportation business.

[0031] Specifically, the binding tracking method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: Turn on the Bluetooth of the ETC device 2 installed in the vehicle 5. The ETC device 2 is generally fixed on the front windshield in the cab of the vehicle 5.

[0033] Step 2: After getting on the bus, the driver uses the application installed in mobile phone 1 to connect to the Bluetooth of ETC device 2 via Bluetooth, and mobile phone 1 and ETC device 2 are successfully bound.

[0034] Step 3: After the driver and the vehicle arrive at the loading place, the driver performs the relevant operations of the transportation task through the application in the mobile phone 1. During the operation, the detection system in the remote server 4 first verifies the binding status of the mobile phone 1 and the ETC device 2, and at the same time verifies whether the vehicle is consistent according to the device information of the ETC device 2. If it is inconsistent with the vehicle set in the application in the mobile phone 1 to perform the transportation task, the operation is not allowed.

[0035] Step 4: During transportation, mobile phone 1 sends the device information and current location information of ETC device 2 to remote server 4 every 1 minute or 2 minutes, so that remote server 4 can timely understand the location of the vehicle and determine whether it is a vehicle that has passed the verification in step 3 through ETC device 2.

[0036] Step 5: After arriving at the destination, the driver needs to perform a series of operations such as unloading through the application of mobile phone 1. The specific operation is that the detection system in the remote server 4 first verifies the Bluetooth connection status between the driver's mobile phone 1 and the vehicle 5. If the connection is disconnected, the operation of step 2 needs to be repeated. At this time, the remote server 4 obtains the driver's location and vehicle information, and determines that it is the predetermined destination and the vehicle that has passed the verification in step 3. Only then can a series of operations such as unloading be performed, thereby ensuring that the entire transportation process is the driver himself and the vehicle set to perform the transportation task, ensuring the safe transportation of goods, and ensuring the authenticity of the transportation business.

[0037] In summary, the vehicle and driver binding tracking method of the present invention adds the binding of the mobile phone 1 and the ETC device 2 in the vehicle 5, and at each node of the business operation, such as order acceptance, loading, unloading, signing, etc., the remote server 4 needs to verify whether the binding is consistent with the bound driver and vehicle information. If both the binding and verification are passed, the operation is allowed; if one of the binding and verification fails, it is necessary to bind again or determine that the transportation business is not real. Thus, the binding of the vehicle and the driver is achieved.
