Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of autonomous driving technology, and specifically to a vehicle operation management method, a mobile device, a battery swap station, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] For vehicles that use power batteries as their power source, when the battery power is low, they can replace the power battery with a fully charged one at a battery swap station (i.e., battery swapping) to achieve rapid energy replenishment.

[0003] For battery swap stations that support valet battery swapping, if the user chooses to use valet battery swapping when driving the vehicle to the vicinity of the battery swapping station, the user can leave the vehicle after parking the vehicle in a parking space near the battery swapping station. The vehicle will automatically queue up for battery swapping, and when it is the vehicle's turn to swap the battery, the vehicle will automatically park in the battery swapping station for battery swapping. After the battery swapping is completed, the vehicle will automatically park in a parking space near the battery swapping station to wait for the user. From queuing for battery swapping, to driving into the battery swapping station for battery swapping, and finally to parking in the parking space after the battery swapping is completed, the user does not need to be on site. The user can go to other places (such as shopping malls, restaurants) for entertainment, rest, etc., and when they want to leave, they can return to the parking space and drive the vehicle that has completed the battery swapping to leave.

[0004] The vehicle is in an unmanned state during the battery swap process. In order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, it can be considered that the staff of the battery swap station manage the operation of the vehicle. At present, the conventional operation management method for unmanned vehicles is mainly to communicate directly with the vehicle through the remote control device. The manager checks the operation status of the vehicle through the remote control device and sends instructions to the vehicle when a dangerous state occurs, so that the vehicle operates according to the instructions to ensure the safety of the vehicle. However, this method is not suitable for the battery swap station scenario. Specifically: the battery swap vehicle is the user's private vehicle. If the vehicle is to be operated and managed through the remote control device, a complex authorization and authentication mechanism needs to be established between the vehicle and the remote control device to allow the manager to use the remote control device to operate and manage the vehicle. For battery swap stations with parking control functions, the battery swap station will participate in vehicle control when the vehicle is automatically parked. In this way, the battery swap station and the remote control device may send instructions to the vehicle at the same time, affecting the safe operation of the vehicle. The models of battery swap vehicles may be different, and may even come from different vehicle brands. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a communication strategy between the remote control device and the vehicle for each vehicle separately, which is costly.

[0005] Accordingly, the art needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0159] The above one or more technical solutions of the present application have at least one or more of the following beneficial effects:

[0160] In a technical solution for implementing the vehicle operation management method provided in the present application, the method is applied to a mobile device, including: in response to a management startup operation by a user on the mobile device, the mobile device performs identity authentication with a target battery swap station, and establishes a first communication link with the target battery swap station after successfully completing the identity authentication, wherein the target battery swap station is a battery swap station where the vehicle to be swapped is to be swapped; in response to a vehicle control operation by a user on the mobile device, the mobile device sends a vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station through the first communication link, so as to transmit the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be swapped through the target battery swap station; wherein the vehicle control instruction is transmitted to the vehicle to be swapped via a second communication link, and the second communication link is a communication link established between the vehicle to be swapped and the target battery swap station after successfully completing the identity authentication with the target battery swap station; the vehicle control instruction is used to control the automatic parking state of the vehicle to be swapped when swapping batteries at the target battery swap station.

[0161] Identity authentication is completed between the mobile device and the target battery swap station, and identity authentication is also completed between the battery swap vehicle and the target battery swap station. This is equivalent to completing identity authentication between the mobile device and the battery swap vehicle, and there is no need to establish a complex authorization authentication mechanism between the mobile device and the battery swap vehicle. In addition, the vehicle needs to authenticate itself with the battery swap station before it can use the battery swap station normally for battery swap. Therefore, the above implementation scheme actually reuses the identity authentication between the vehicle and the battery swap station during battery swap, and there is no need to add additional identity authentication between the vehicle and the battery swap station. In addition, the mobile device sends the vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station, which is then forwarded to the battery swap vehicle by the target battery swap station. Therefore, for the battery swap station with parking control function, even if the target battery swap station participates in the vehicle parking control, the target battery swap station will give priority to forwarding the vehicle control instruction sent by the mobile device to the battery swap vehicle, and there will be no situation where the mobile device and the target battery swap station send instructions to the vehicle at the same time, affecting the safety of the vehicle. Furthermore, the mobile device communicates directly with the target battery swap station, and does not communicate directly with the vehicle. Therefore, even if the battery swap vehicle has different models and brands, there is no need to develop a communication strategy between the mobile device and the vehicle for each vehicle. It can be seen that based on the above implementation plan, vehicle operation can be managed safely, reliably and conveniently.

[0162] In a technical scheme for implementing the vehicle operation management method provided in the present application, the method is applied to a target battery swap station, where the target battery swap station is a battery swap station for a vehicle to be swapped, and includes: receiving a vehicle control instruction sent by a mobile device through a first communication link, where the vehicle control instruction is sent by the mobile device to the target battery swap station in response to a user's vehicle control operation on the mobile device; sending the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be swapped through a second communication link; wherein the first communication link is a communication link established between the mobile device and the target battery swap station in response to a user's management startup operation on the mobile device, and after successfully completing the identity authentication, the mobile device performs identity authentication with the target battery swap station; the second communication link is a communication link established between the vehicle to be swapped and the target battery swap station after successfully completing the identity authentication with the target battery swap station; the vehicle control instruction is used to control the automatic parking state of the vehicle to be swapped when it is swapping batteries at the target battery swap station.

[0163] The above implementation scheme has similar beneficial effects to the aforementioned vehicle operation management method applied to mobile devices, and can also manage vehicle operation safely, reliably and conveniently. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0183] The user personal information processed by this application will vary depending on the specific product / service scenario, and shall be based on the specific scenario in which the user uses the product / service, and may involve the user's account information, device information, driving information, vehicle information or other related information. This application will treat the user's personal information and its processing with a high degree of diligence.

[0184] This application attaches great importance to the security of user personal information and has taken reasonable and feasible security protection measures that meet industry standards to protect user information and prevent personal information from being accessed, disclosed, used, modified, damaged or lost without authorization.

[0185] The following describes an embodiment of the vehicle operation management method provided in this application, which is implemented by a mobile device and a battery swap station as the executing entities.

[0186] The mobile device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop, a laptop, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, a vehicle-mounted device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an augmented reality (AR) or a virtual reality (VR) device, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0187] The vehicle is a vehicle that uses a power battery as a power source. The vehicle may include an automatic driving system, which is used to guide the smart device to drive independently or assist in driving.

[0188] There are preset parking areas inside and outside the battery swap station (hereinafter, the preset parking area inside the battery swap station is described as the first parking area, and the preset parking area outside the battery swap station is described as the second parking area). Before starting the battery swap, the vehicle can be parked in the second parking area to wait for the battery swap. When it is the vehicle's turn to swap the battery, the vehicle can be parked in the first parking area. The battery swap station will perform the battery swap operation on the vehicle to remove the vehicle's power battery to be replaced, and then install a new power battery for the vehicle. After completing the battery swap, the vehicle can still be parked in the second parking area. In some scenarios, the vehicle user can drive the vehicle into the second parking area and wait for the battery swap by itself. The vehicle user can leave the vehicle and go to other places (such as shopping malls, restaurants, etc.); when it is the vehicle's turn to swap the battery, the vehicle can automatically park from the second parking area to the first parking area for battery swapping. After completing the battery swapping, the vehicle can automatically park from the first parking area to the second parking area. When the vehicle user returns to the battery swap station from other places, he can drive the vehicle that has completed the battery swap away from the second parking area.

[0189] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of a vehicle operation management method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle operation management method in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes the following steps S101 to S103.

[0190] Step S101: In response to a management start operation by a user on a mobile device, the mobile device performs identity authentication with a target battery swap station, and after successfully completing the identity authentication, establishes a first communication link with the target battery swap station. The target battery swap station is a battery swap station where a battery swap vehicle is to be swapped.

[0191] The above-mentioned users can be understood as users of mobile devices, and users of mobile devices may be on-duty personnel at battery swap stations. The above-mentioned users are not users of the vehicles to be swapped.

[0192] When it is the turn of the vehicle to be replaced to replace the battery at the battery replacement station, the user can perform a management start operation on the mobile device to start the operation management of the vehicle to be replaced. In some embodiments, the mobile device can display a management start interface, and the user can perform the management start operation on this management start interface. For example, a control for the management start operation can be set on the management start interface, and the user can operate this control by clicking, dragging, or sliding.

[0193] The mobile device and the target battery swap station perform identity authentication, which includes: the mobile device performs identity authentication on the target battery swap station, and the target battery swap station performs identity authentication on the mobile device. When both of these identity authentications are passed, it indicates that the mobile device and the target battery swap station have successfully completed identity authentication.

[0194] The mobile device authenticates the target battery swap station to determine whether the target battery swap station is trustworthy to the mobile device. If the authentication is successful, it indicates that the target battery swap station is trustworthy. Otherwise, it is untrustworthy. The mobile device can send the authentication result to the target battery swap station so that the target battery swap station can determine whether the authentication is successful. The target battery swap station authenticates the mobile device to determine whether the mobile device is trustworthy to the target battery swap station. If the authentication is successful, it indicates that the mobile device is trustworthy. Otherwise, it is untrustworthy. The target battery swap station can also send the authentication result to the mobile device so that the mobile device can determine whether the authentication is successful.

[0195] Step S102: In response to the vehicle control operation of the user on the mobile device, the mobile device sends a vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station through the first communication link.

[0196] The above-mentioned user is also a user of a mobile device, and the vehicle control instruction is used to control the automatic parking state of the vehicle to be replaced when it passes through the target battery replacement station. For example, the vehicle control instruction can control the vehicle to be replaced at the station to start or terminate automatic parking.

[0197] The mobile device may respond to the user's management start operation in the aforementioned step S101 by displaying a vehicle control interface, on which the user may perform vehicle control operations. For example, the vehicle control interface may be provided with a control for vehicle control operations, and the user may operate the control by clicking, dragging, or sliding.

[0198] In some embodiments, the vehicle control operation may include starting a parking operation and terminating a parking operation. If the user starts a parking operation on a mobile device, the mobile device sends a first vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station in response to the start parking operation, and the instruction is used to control the vehicle to be replaced to start automatic parking when replacing the battery. If the user terminates the parking operation on the mobile device, the mobile device sends a second vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station in response to the termination parking operation, and the instruction is used to control the vehicle to be replaced to terminate automatic parking when replacing the battery. Through this embodiment, two different vehicle control operations can be used to start and terminate automatic parking, respectively, which improves the convenience of user operation and reduces the occurrence of misoperation.

[0199] In some embodiments, the controls for vehicle control operations on the vehicle control interface may include a start parking control and a stop parking control. If the user presses the start parking control, it indicates that the user has started the parking operation on the mobile device, and if the user presses the stop parking control, it indicates that the user has stopped the parking operation on the mobile device. In other words, as long as the start parking control is pressed, the mobile device will send a first vehicle control instruction; and when the stop parking control is pressed, the mobile device will send a second vehicle control instruction. Compared with operations such as dragging or sliding, pressing is more convenient, which further improves the convenience of user operation.

[0200] Furthermore, in some embodiments, if the mobile device detects that the user stops pressing the parking control, the mobile device sends a third vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station through the first communication link, and the instruction is used to control the emergency braking of the vehicle to be swapped and suspend automatic parking. In other words, if the user wants the vehicle to be swapped to park automatically without interruption, it is necessary to continue to press the parking control to start. If the pressure stops, the vehicle to be swapped will perform emergency braking. Based on this, during the automatic parking of the vehicle, the user only needs to continue to press the parking control to start, and does not need to watch the interface displayed on the mobile device. In this way, the user can concentrate on watching the parking situation of the vehicle. When it is found that there is a risk of affecting the safe driving of the vehicle, it is only necessary to stop pressing the parking control to start, and the vehicle will automatically perform emergency braking, which effectively ensures the safety of the vehicle.

[0201] Step S103: The target battery swap station sends the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be swapped via the second communication link. The vehicle control instruction includes the first, second and third vehicle control instructions mentioned above.

[0202] If the target battery swap station has a parking control function, then when the vehicle to be swapped passes through the target battery swap station, the target battery swap station will participate in the automatic parking control of the vehicle to be swapped. Therefore, it may happen that the target battery swap station will also send control instructions to the vehicle to be swapped. In this case, if the target battery swap station receives a vehicle control instruction sent by a mobile device, it will give priority to sending the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be swapped, that is, the instruction sent by the mobile device has a higher priority than the target battery swap station's own instruction, which can avoid instruction conflicts and affect the safe driving of the vehicle.

[0203] The second communication link is the communication link established between the vehicle to be battery-swapped and the target battery-swap station after successfully completing identity authentication with the target battery-swap station.

[0204] The identity authentication of the vehicle to be replaced with the target swap station includes: the vehicle to be replaced authenticates the target swap station, and the target swap station authenticates the vehicle to be replaced. When both authentications are passed, it indicates that both have successfully completed the authentication.

[0205] The vehicle to be replaced performs identity authentication on the target battery swap station to determine whether the target battery swap station is trustworthy for the vehicle to be replaced. If the identity authentication is passed, it indicates that the target battery swap station is trustworthy. Otherwise, it is not trustworthy. The vehicle to be replaced can send the authentication result to the target battery swap station so that the target battery swap station can determine whether the identity authentication is passed. The target battery swap station performs identity authentication on the vehicle to be replaced to determine whether the vehicle to be replaced is trustworthy for the target battery swap station. If the identity authentication is passed, it indicates that the vehicle to be replaced is trustworthy. Otherwise, it is not trustworthy. The target battery swap station can also send the authentication result to the vehicle to be replaced so that the vehicle to be replaced can determine whether the identity authentication is passed.

[0206] In this embodiment, a conventional identity authentication method can be used to realize the identity authentication of the vehicle to be replaced with the target battery replacement station, and this application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0207] Before a vehicle exchanges batteries at a battery swap station, it needs to perform identity authentication with the battery swap station so that it can use the battery swap station normally. Therefore, in some implementations, the identity authentication between the vehicle and the battery swap station during battery swapping can be reused, and there is no need for additional identity authentication between the vehicle and the battery swap station.

[0208] In the method described in the above steps S101 to S103, identity authentication is completed between the mobile device and the target battery swap station, and identity authentication is also completed between the vehicle to be swapped and the target battery swap station, which is equivalent to completing identity authentication between the mobile device and the vehicle to be swapped. In addition, the mobile device sends the vehicle control command to the target battery swap station, which is then forwarded by the target battery swap station to the vehicle to be swapped. Therefore, for a battery swap station with a parking control function, even if the target battery swap station participates in the vehicle parking control, the target battery swap station will give priority to forwarding the vehicle control command sent by the mobile device to the vehicle to be swapped, and there will be no command conflict, which affects the safety of the vehicle. Furthermore, the mobile device communicates directly with the target battery swap station and does not communicate directly with the vehicle. Therefore, even if the models and brands of the battery swap vehicles are different, there is no need to develop a separate communication strategy between the mobile device and the vehicle for each vehicle. It can be seen that based on the above method, the operation of the vehicle can be managed safely, reliably and conveniently.

[0209] Next, the embodiment of the vehicle operation management method will be described.

[0210] In some implementations of the above step S101, the mobile device and the target battery swap station can be Figure 2 The following steps S1011 to S1014 shown perform identity authentication.

[0211] Step S1011: The mobile device obtains the first authentication information of the target battery swap station sent by the server, and sends the first authentication information to the target battery swap station.

[0212] The first authentication information may include the identity information of the target battery swap station (hereinafter described as the first identity information), and the target battery swap station itself may also store its own identity information (hereinafter described as the second identity information). In some embodiments, the identity information may be the ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) digital certificate of the target battery swap station.

[0213] For vehicle users, if they want to use the valet battery swap function, they can use the valet battery swap order system to submit a valet battery swap order. The valet battery swap function requires vehicle users to park the vehicle to be replaced in the preset parking area outside the battery swap station and then leave. The vehicles to be replaced will automatically queue up for battery swapping, and when it is their turn to swap, they will automatically park in the preset parking area inside the battery swap station for battery swapping. After the battery swap is completed, they will automatically park in the preset parking area outside the battery swap station to wait for the vehicle user to drive.

[0214] The server can obtain the valet battery replacement order of the vehicle user through the valet battery replacement system. The valet battery replacement order may include information about the vehicle to be replaced, the selected battery replacement station (i.e., the target battery replacement station), and other information. In addition, the server will also manage the management authority of the on-duty personnel of the battery replacement station (i.e., the user of the mobile device). The management authority includes whether the on-duty personnel has the authority to manage the operation of the vehicle, and which battery replacement stations the on-duty personnel can manage. After the server obtains the valet battery replacement order, it can select a person on duty with vehicle operation management authority from the on-duty personnel of the target battery replacement station, and then assign authorization information to this person on duty, and at the same time establish a mapping relationship between this person on duty, the target battery replacement station, and the vehicle to be replaced. The authorization information includes the first authorization information and the second authorization information. The first authorization information is that the on-duty personnel (i.e., the user of the mobile device) has the authority to manage the operation of the vehicle, and the second authorization information is that the on-duty personnel (i.e., the user of the mobile device) has the management authority of the target battery replacement station. The server will only send the first authentication information to the mobile device if the mobile device has the above authorization information. Each on-duty personnel (i.e., user of mobile device) can have a different user account. The on-duty personnel (i.e., user of mobile device) can use their own user account to log in to the mobile device. The server can obtain the user account logged in on the mobile device. Each on-duty personnel (i.e., user of mobile device) can be distinguished according to the user account. Therefore, it can be determined whether the current on-duty personnel (i.e., user of mobile device) has the first and second authorization information according to the user account.

[0215] Step S1012: The target battery swap station performs identity authentication on the first authentication information.

[0216] The target battery swap station can parse the first authentication information to obtain the first identity information, and then use the second identity information stored in itself to authenticate the first identity information. If the first and second identity information are the same, it indicates that the mobile device is trustworthy and the identity authentication is passed; if the first and second identity information are different, it indicates that the mobile device is untrustworthy and the identity authentication is not passed.

[0217] Step S1013: The target battery swap station receives the second authentication information of the mobile device sent by the server, and sends the second authentication information to the mobile device.

[0218] The second authentication information may include the identity information of the mobile device (hereinafter described as the third identity information), and the mobile device itself may also store its own identity information (hereinafter described as the fourth identity information). In some implementations, the identity information may be an ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) digital certificate of the mobile device.

[0219] The server is the same as the server in the aforementioned step S1011 and will not be described in detail.

[0220] Step S1014: The mobile device performs identity authentication on the second authentication information.

[0221] The mobile device can parse the second authentication information to obtain the third identity information, and then use the fourth identity information stored in the mobile device to authenticate the third identity information. If the third and fourth identity information are the same, it indicates that the target battery swap station is credible and the identity authentication is successful; if the third and fourth identity information are different, it indicates that the target battery swap station is untrustworthy and the identity authentication is unsuccessful.

[0222] The target swap station authenticates the mobile device through steps S1011 to S1012, and the target swap station authenticates the mobile device through steps S1013 to S1014. In this process, the mobile device and the target swap station can communicate based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol.

[0223] Next, the embodiment of the vehicle operation management method will be described.

[0224] In some embodiments according to the present application, Figure 3 The following steps S201 to S203 shown display the vehicle parking information of the vehicle to be replaced on the mobile device.

[0225] Step S201: The target battery swap station receives vehicle parking information sent by the vehicle to be battery swapped through the second communication link.

[0226] The vehicle parking information includes the parking trajectory and parking function status of the vehicle to be replaced with a battery during automatic parking. The parking function status indicates the status of the automatic parking function of the vehicle to be replaced with a battery.

[0227] When the vehicle is automatically parking, the parking trajectory can be planned in advance. The parking trajectory represents the driving trajectory of the vehicle from the parking starting point to the parking end point. In some embodiments, the parking trajectory in the vehicle parking information can be the parking trajectory that the vehicle to be replaced will drive next, not the parking trajectory that the vehicle to be replaced has already driven. In addition, the parking trajectory in the vehicle parking information can also be the parking trajectory from the current position of the vehicle to be replaced to the parking end point.

[0228] The status of the automatic parking function can include normal, suspended, and faulty. Normal means that the automatic parking function can be started. Suspended means that the automatic parking function is temporarily suspended due to environmental risks. Environmental risks are risks in the environment of the vehicle to be replaced that affect the safe driving of the vehicle to be replaced. The vehicle to be replaced can determine whether there is an environmental risk through environmental perception. If an environmental risk is sensed, the status of the automatic parking function will be set to suspended. Faulty means that the automatic parking function cannot be started. When the automatic parking function fails to start, the vehicle to be replaced will set the status of the automatic parking function to faulty.

[0229] Step S202: The target battery swap station sends vehicle parking information to the mobile device via the first communication link.

[0230] Step S203: The mobile device displays the vehicle parking information through the vehicle control interface.

[0231] Based on the methods described in steps S201 to S203 above, the parking information of the vehicle to be replaced at the station can be displayed in real time through a mobile device, which helps users to timely and accurately understand the automatic parking status of the vehicle to be replaced at the station and ensure the operating safety of the vehicle to be replaced at the station.

[0232] In some implementations of the above step S203, the mobile device may display a prompt message through the vehicle control interface. Specifically, if the parking function state is suspended, a first prompt message is displayed through the vehicle control interface, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to switch the parking function state from suspended to normal after confirming that there is no environmental risk. If the parking function state is faulty, a second prompt message is displayed through the vehicle control interface, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to manually drive the vehicle to be replaced to complete the battery replacement.

[0233] The first and second prompt information are described below respectively.

[0234] 1. Explain the first prompt information.

[0235] When the vehicle control interface displays the first prompt information, the user can check whether there are risks in the environment that affect the safe driving of the vehicle; when there is no risk, it indicates that the vehicle to be replaced has a false alarm, and the parking function status can be switched from suspended to normal through the mobile device; when there is a risk, the user can manually remove the risk. If the removal is successful, the parking function status can be switched from suspended to normal through the mobile device. If the removal fails, the parking function status will not be switched. For example, if the user checks the environment and finds that there is a trash can in front of the vehicle blocking the vehicle's travel, the user can move the trash can away and then switch the parking function status from suspended to normal through the mobile device.

[0236] In some embodiments, the user can perform a suspension release operation on the mobile device to switch the parking function state from suspended to normal through the mobile device. Specifically, the mobile device can send a fourth vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station through the first communication link in response to the user's suspension release operation, and the target battery swap station sends the fourth vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be replaced through the second communication link. The fourth vehicle control instruction is used to control the vehicle to be replaced to switch the parking function state from suspended to normal. In some embodiments, the user can perform a suspension release operation on the vehicle control interface. For example, a control for suspension release operation is provided on the vehicle control interface, and the user can operate this control by clicking, dragging, or sliding. Through this embodiment, the convenience of switching the parking function state can be improved.

[0237] 2. Explain the second prompt information.

[0238] When the vehicle control interface displays the second prompt message, the user can determine that the vehicle at the battery swap station cannot be parked automatically. At this time, the user can unlock the vehicle at the battery swap station and manually drive the vehicle to be swapped into the preset parking area inside the battery swap station for battery swapping. After the battery swapping is completed, the user can manually drive the vehicle to be swapped into the preset parking area outside the battery swap station and lock the vehicle to ensure vehicle safety.

[0239] The following is combined with Figure 4 To Attachment Figure 6 The above-mentioned embodiment is described.

[0240] Figure 4 The vehicle control interface when the parking function is in normal state is shown as an example. Figure 5 The vehicle control interface when the parking function is suspended is shown as an example. Figure 6 The vehicle control interface when the parking function is in a fault state is shown as an example.

[0241] Figures 4 to 6 The "Start Automatic Parking" in the table indicates the control for automatic parking operation (i.e., the "Start Parking Control"); the "Terminate Automatic Parking" indicates the control for terminating the automatic parking operation (i.e., the "Terminate Parking Control"); and the "Parking Track" is the parking track that the vehicle to be parked at the battery swap station will drive next. Figures 4 to 6 The vehicle control interface shown also displays the trajectory length from the vehicle's current position to the parking end point, such as Figure 4 The length of the track in is 47.53 meters.

[0242] like Figure 4 As shown, when the parking function status is normal, the vehicle control interface will display the prompt message "System normal: [Active], function activated". The system indicates the automatic parking function of the vehicle to be swapped at the station. The system is normal, which means the parking function status is normal.

[0243] like Figure 5 As shown, when the parking function status is suspended, the vehicle control interface will display the first prompt message "System suspended: [Suspend], please confirm safety and manually release it". The vehicle control interface is also provided with a control for the suspension release operation, namely "Release Suspend".

[0244] like Figure 6 As shown, when the parking function status is faulty, the vehicle control interface will display a second prompt message "System fault: [Fault], the function cannot be started, please get in the car and take over."

[0245] Next, the embodiment of the vehicle operation management method will be described.

[0246] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle to be replaced is a vehicle with NFC (Near Field Communication) unlocking and locking functions, and the vehicle to be replaced is provided with an NFC module, based on which the vehicle unlocking command and vehicle locking command sent by the external device through NFC technology can be received. If the vehicle unlocking command is received, the vehicle to be replaced can be unlocked, and the user can open the door and enter the vehicle to be replaced to manually drive the vehicle; if the vehicle locking command is received, the vehicle to be replaced can be locked, at which time the vehicle is locked and the door is locked, and the user cannot enter the vehicle to be replaced to manually drive the vehicle. In this embodiment, the mobile device is also configured with an NFC module, and the mobile device can send vehicle unlocking commands and vehicle locking commands to the vehicle to be replaced through the NFC module. For example, the NFC module on the vehicle to be replaced is set in the door handle area, and the user holds the mobile device against the door handle area, and the two NFC modules on the mobile device and the vehicle to be replaced will establish a communication connection, and the NFC module of the mobile device will send an unlocking command to the NFC module of the vehicle to be replaced; if the user holds the mobile device against the door handle area again, the NFC module of the mobile device will send a locking command to the NFC module of the vehicle to be replaced.

[0247] In order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the mobile device must have the vehicle authority of the vehicle to be replaced when sending the vehicle unlocking command and vehicle locking command to the vehicle to be replaced through the NFC module. Otherwise, the above instructions cannot be sent to the vehicle to be replaced. The vehicle authority is the authority to unlock and lock the vehicle to be replaced through the NFC module. Figure 7 The following steps S301 to S302 shown obtain vehicle authority.

[0248] Step S301: In response to a user's permission request operation on a mobile device, the mobile device sends a permission request to a server, where the permission request is used to obtain vehicle permissions for the vehicle to be replaced.

[0249] The server is the same as the server in the aforementioned step S1011, and will not be described in detail. In some embodiments, the mobile device may display an operation interface, and the user may perform a permission request operation on the operation interface. For example, a control for the permission request operation may be provided on the operation interface, and the user may operate the control by clicking, dragging, or sliding.

[0250] Step S302: The mobile device receives the vehicle authority sent by the server.

[0251] After the mobile device receives the vehicle authority, the user can unlock the vehicle to be replaced through the mobile device, manually drive the vehicle to be replaced to complete the battery replacement, and then lock the vehicle to be replaced through the mobile device after the battery replacement is completed.

[0252] In some embodiments, the vehicle authority can be revoked by the server after the vehicle to be replaced completes the battery replacement, that is, the mobile device no longer has the vehicle authority of the vehicle to be replaced. Even if the user brings the mobile device close to the NFC module of the vehicle to be replaced, the NFC module of the mobile device cannot send unlocking instructions or locking instructions to the NFC module of the vehicle to be replaced.

[0253] The battery replacement of the vehicle to be replaced can be completed in any of the following two situations:

[0254] Scenario 1: The vehicle to be replaced completes the battery replacement operation in the target battery replacement station and parks in the preset parking area outside the target battery replacement station. The battery replacement operation may include removing the power battery from the vehicle to be replaced and installing a new power battery for the vehicle to be replaced. The preset parking area outside the target battery replacement station may be some preset parking spaces, and the vehicle to be replaced can park in a parking space. When the vehicle user wants to drive away, he will come to the parking space and drive the vehicle.

[0255] Scenario 2: The vehicle to be replaced has completed the battery replacement operation in the target battery replacement station and the time to complete the battery replacement operation reaches the preset time. In the scenario of valet battery replacement, the vehicle to be replaced needs to park in the preset parking area outside the target battery replacement station to wait for the vehicle user after completing the battery replacement in the target battery replacement station. However, if the time after the battery replacement operation is completed reaches the preset time, and the vehicle to be replaced has not parked in the above preset parking area, it means that the entire battery replacement time is abnormal. In order to ensure the safety of the vehicle to be replaced, the server must also revoke the vehicle authority at this time. When setting the value of the preset time, technicians in this field can count the battery replacement time of the vehicle in the valet battery replacement scenario, and then obtain the maximum battery replacement time, and set the value of the preset time according to the maximum battery replacement time to ensure that the value of the preset time is greater than or equal to the maximum battery replacement time.

[0256] Based on the method described in steps S301 to S302 above, the server can keep the vehicle authority of the vehicle to be replaced, and issue the vehicle authority to the user according to the request of the mobile device during the process of the user performing operation management of the vehicle to be replaced through the mobile device, thereby ensuring the security of the vehicle authority, and further ensuring the safety of the vehicle to be replaced. In addition, after the battery replacement is completed, the server will take back the vehicle authority, further improving the security of the vehicle authority.

[0257] The following is combined with Figure 8 To Attachment Fig. 9 , an embodiment of the vehicle operation management method provided in this application is described. Figure 8 The interactive process among the server, mobile device, battery swap station and vehicle is shown as an example. Fig. 9 The interaction process among the mobile device, the battery swap station and the vehicle is shown by way of example.

[0258] First, refer to the attached Figure 8 The server is provided with a valet battery swap order system. For vehicle users, if they want to use the valet battery swap function, they can use the valet battery swap order system to submit a valet battery swap order; after the server obtains the valet battery swap order, it can establish a mapping relationship between the on-duty personnel, the target battery swap station, and the vehicle to be swapped and manage the mapping relationship; the server also manages vehicle permissions. Among them, the meaning of the valet battery swap function and the mapping relationship is the same as the meaning of the valet battery swap function and the mapping relationship in the aforementioned step S1011, which will not be repeated here.

[0259] When it is the vehicle's turn to swap batteries, the on-duty personnel of the battery swap station (hereinafter described as the user) performs a management startup operation on the mobile device, and the mobile device performs identity authentication with the battery swap station in response to the management startup operation. The mobile device performs identity authentication with the battery swap station through the authorization authentication module, and the battery swap station completes the identity authentication with the mobile device through the device authorization authentication. After the identity authentication is successfully completed, a first communication link is established between the mobile device and the battery swap station. Similarly, the vehicle will also perform identity authentication with the battery swap station through its own authorization authentication module, and the battery swap station completes the identity authentication with the mobile device through the device authorization authentication. After the identity authentication is successfully completed, a second communication link is established between the vehicle and the battery swap station.

[0260] In response to the management start operation, the mobile device will display a vehicle control interface, and the user can start the parking operation, terminate the parking operation, and other vehicle control operations on the vehicle control interface. In response to the vehicle control operation, the mobile device sends a vehicle control instruction to the battery swap station through the first communication link, and the battery swap station sends the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle through the second communication link. The vehicle will respond to the vehicle control instruction and execute the operation of the vehicle control instruction. For example, the vehicle can start or terminate automatic parking.

[0261] The vehicle will send its own parking information to the battery swap station through the second communication link, and the battery swap station will send the vehicle parking information to the mobile device through the first communication link. The mobile device can display the vehicle parking information on the vehicle control interface. When the user finds that the parking function status of the vehicle is faulty based on the vehicle parking information, a permission request operation is performed on the mobile device. The mobile device sends a permission request to the server in response to the permission request operation, and the server sends the vehicle permission to the mobile device (i.e., the permission to unlock and lock the vehicle to be swapped through the NFC module). The user holds the mobile device close to the NFC module on the vehicle, and the NFC module on the mobile device sends an unlock command to the NFC module of the vehicle. The vehicle opens the door in response to the unlock command, and the user enters the vehicle and manually drives the vehicle to complete the battery swap; after the battery swap is completed, the user holds the mobile device close to the NFC module on the vehicle, and the NFC module on the mobile device sends a lock command to the NFC module of the vehicle. The vehicle locks the vehicle and closes the door in response to the lock command.

[0262] See attached Fig. 9 , a Wi-Fi access point (Access Point) and an autonomous driving domain controller 1 are provided in the battery swap station, and the mobile device is a mobile phone. The mobile device can connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and establish a first communication link with the battery swap station through the Wi-Fi access point. The autonomous driving domain controller 1 is used to receive the vehicle control instructions sent by the mobile device, send vehicle parking information to the mobile device, etc. The vehicle is provided with a smart antenna (Smart Antenna), a gateway, an autonomous driving domain controller 2, and an actuator. The smart antenna can connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and establish a second communication link with the battery swap station through the Wi-Fi access point. The gateway can send the vehicle control instructions received by the smart antenna to the gateway, and then the gateway distributes it to the autonomous driving controller 2. The autonomous driving controller 2 can control the actuator to perform the operation of the vehicle control instruction according to the vehicle control instruction. For example, if the vehicle control instruction is a third vehicle control instruction for controlling the emergency braking of the vehicle, then the actuator can be a braking mechanism, and the autonomous driving controller 2 controls the braking mechanism to perform emergency braking. Specifically, the interaction process of the mobile device, the battery swap station and the vehicle may include the following steps S401 to S406.

[0263] Step S401: The mobile device establishes a first communication link with the battery swap station through the Wi-Fi access point of the battery swap station in response to the user's management start operation. In addition, the mobile device sends a vehicle control instruction to the battery swap station through the first communication link in response to the user's vehicle control operation.

[0264] Step S402: After receiving the vehicle control instruction, the automatic driving controller 1 in the battery swap station sends the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle through the second communication link.

[0265] Step S403: The smart antenna in the vehicle receives the vehicle control instruction and sends the vehicle control instruction to the gateway in the vehicle.

[0266] Step S404: The gateway in the vehicle sends the vehicle control instruction to the automatic driving controller 2 in the vehicle.

[0267] Step S405: The automatic driving controller 2 in the vehicle controls the actuator in the vehicle to execute the operation of the vehicle control instruction according to the vehicle control instruction.

[0268] Step S406: The actuator in the vehicle responds to the control instruction of the automatic driving controller 2 and executes the operation of the vehicle control instruction.

[0269] Based on the methods described in steps S401 to S406 above, the user can manage and control the vehicle operation conveniently and reliably through the mobile device.

Fig.10 As shown, the vehicle operation management method in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes the following steps S501 to S502.

[0273] Step S501: In response to a management start operation by a user on a mobile device, the mobile device performs identity authentication with a target battery swap station, and after successfully completing the identity authentication, establishes a first communication link with the target battery swap station. The target battery swap station is a battery swap station where the vehicle to be swapped performs battery swapping.

[0274] Step S502: In response to the user's vehicle control operation on the mobile device, the mobile device sends a vehicle control instruction to the target battery swap station through the first communication link, so as to transmit the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be swapped through the target battery swap station.

[0275] The vehicle control command is used to control the automatic parking state of the vehicle to be replaced when it is replaced at the target battery replacement station. The vehicle control command is transmitted to the vehicle to be replaced via the second communication link, which is the communication link established between the vehicle to be replaced and the target battery replacement station after successfully completing identity authentication with the target battery replacement station.

[0281] The first communication link is: the mobile device performs identity authentication with the target battery swap station in response to the management startup operation of the user on the mobile device, and establishes a communication link with the target battery swap station after successfully completing the identity authentication.

[0282] Step S602: Send the vehicle control instruction to the vehicle to be replaced through the second communication link.

[0283] The second communication link is: the communication link established between the vehicle to be battery-swapped and the target battery-swap station after successfully completing identity authentication with the target battery-swap station.
