All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a framework of a false alarm prevention vehicle monitoring system according to the present invention is shown; Figure 2 Another schematic diagram of a framework of a false alarm prevention vehicle monitoring system according to the present invention is shown;

[0070] Figure 3The overall structural framework diagram of the anti-false alarm vehicle monitoring system of the present invention is shown. In the first aspect of the present application, there is provided an anti-false alarm vehicle monitoring system, the system comprising: a vehicle controller, a perception module and an alarm module; wherein the perception module comprises at least a wake-up device, an image acquisition device and an on-board sensor; wherein the alarm module comprises at least an alarm; the vehicle controller is connected to the perception module and the alarm module respectively, and the vehicle controller is used to receive the wake-up signal acquired by the wake-up device, the operation signal acquired by the on-board sensor, and the facial image acquired by the image acquisition device; when the wake-up signal, the operation signal and the facial image all meet the alarm conditions, the vehicle controller sends an alarm instruction to the alarm; the alarm is used to execute the vehicle alarm operation according to the alarm instruction.

[0071] Specifically, the system provided by the present invention is suitable for new energy vehicles, fuel vehicles, and hybrid vehicles. The vehicle controller can be understood as the electronic control unit of the corresponding vehicle type. It is responsible for decoding and executing system modules and user programs, and issuing corresponding control signals to monitor, analyze, and control the vehicle's status and environment. Specifically, the vehicle controller consists of three major components: a storage module, a judgment module, and an execution module. The storage module stores information, the judgment module performs information judgment, and the execution module performs system control.

[0072] The perception module can be understood as an information collection part that obtains various data, signals or information from the environment. It can be composed of various types of sensors, such as GPS, camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic, infrared, temperature, pressure, fuel consumption and other sensors, and converts mechanical or physical quantities into electrical signals and sends them to the vehicle controller to detect the vehicle's own status and surrounding environment information. In the embodiment of the present invention, the perception module is specifically:

[0073] The wake-up device can be a millimeter-wave radar, which is installed on the body of the vehicle. When a moving object approaches the vehicle, the wake-up device can detect the surrounding moving objects and output a wake-up signal. The moving object can be a person, an animal, or an obstacle. The vehicle controller establishes a connection with the wake-up device and can receive the wake-up signal. The wake-up signal indicates the presence of the moving object and detects whether someone is approaching or attempting to enter the vehicle. In some embodiments, the millimeter-wave radar can determine the distance, speed, shape and size of the moving object by transmitting and receiving millimeter-wave signals based on the reflection, scattering, diffraction and other characteristics of the signal. Since humans and animals have different reflection characteristics under millimeter-wave signals, such as reflection cross-sectional area, reflection coefficient, reflection phase, etc., the millimeter-wave radar can output a size signal carrying size information to distinguish the type of moving object. In this way, the millimeter-wave radar can avoid alarm operations caused by animals or children.

[0074] In some embodiments, upon detecting a moving object entering the monitoring area, the millimeter-wave radar can record the relative position of the moving object and output a trigger wake-up signal containing the moving object's position information, thereby entering a preparatory acquisition mode. Specifically, the vehicle controller establishes a connection with the image acquisition device. When the vehicle controller receives the trigger wake-up signal, it controls the onboard sensors to enter acquisition mode, preparing to capture unusual activity in the vehicle's surroundings. Simultaneously, it controls the image acquisition device to enter acquisition mode, preparing to capture facial images of moving objects around the vehicle.

[0075] The image acquisition device can be a surround view controller and multiple surround view cameras. The multiple surround view cameras can be installed in different parts of the vehicle to capture images around the vehicle and input the images into the vehicle controller. For example, four cameras can be installed in the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle to obtain a full range of vision. The surround view controller integrates and processes the image data received from the multiple cameras to obtain a composite image of the 360° vision around the vehicle. The vehicle controller establishes a connection with the image acquisition device and can receive images of moving objects. The images can be used to record the situation around the vehicle. If an abnormal event occurs, the vehicle controller can save or send the images to a server or client for easy viewing and evidence collection. In this way, the image acquisition device can avoid alarm operations caused by the car owner and his trusted personnel.

[0076] Vehicle-mounted sensors may include vibration sensors and / or touch sensors, where the touch sensors may include hood lock switches, door lock switches, and tailgate lock switches. Multiple touch sensors can be installed on the vehicle's doors, windows, hood, trunk, tires, and other locations as needed to detect whether someone is attempting to open the vehicle's doors, windows, hood, or trunk; multiple vibration sensors can be installed on different locations on the vehicle's chassis as needed to detect whether someone is intentionally damaging or moving the vehicle. Through the configuration of vehicle-mounted sensors, it is possible to detect whether the vehicle is subjected to external forces, such as knocking, prying, dragging, etc., and generate corresponding operation signals, which are sent to the vehicle controller to detect abnormal activities in the vehicle's surrounding environment. In this way, the perception module can avoid alarm operations caused by accidental human contact in specific usage scenarios and environments.

[0077] The alarm module can be understood as a security module that alerts the vehicle owner and implements anti-theft functions. For example, it can trigger an alarm; send safety reminders to the vehicle owner via text message, mobile app, or email; and allow the vehicle owner to remotely control the vehicle, such as disengaging the ignition system or locking the vehicle, to prevent potential theft. The alarm can be triggered by an alarm, which can include an audible alarm and a light alarm to attract attention and alert the vehicle owner or nearby personnel.

[0078] To sum up, only when the wake-up signal, operation signal and facial image collected by the perception module simultaneously meet the alarm conditions, the vehicle controller will output an alarm instruction indicating unauthorized access or potential intrusion to control the alarm module's alarm to trigger sound and light alarms and other operations, thereby avoiding alarms triggered by accidental touch of moving objects such as animals or children, as well as alarms triggered by the owner and his trusted personnel using the vehicle, improving the accuracy and reliability of the alarm, and effectively preventing the occurrence of false alarms, thereby avoiding interference with the surrounding environment by the vehicle anti-theft system, and avoiding affecting the surrounding neighbors due to unreasonable horn honking and light flashing.

[0079] As mentioned above, the vehicle controller can obtain the wake-up signal, operation signal and facial portrait. In actual application, the size information carried by the wake-up signal can be used to distinguish between animals, children and adults; the frequency information carried by the operation signal can be used to distinguish between accidental touch and intentional theft; the biometric information carried by the facial portrait can be used to distinguish between suspects and trusted persons. The above information can be used to divide the list to trigger corresponding security measures. In combination with the above embodiments, in another embodiment, the following technical means can be used:

[0080] The vehicle-mounted sensor includes a touch sensor and / or a vibration sensor;

[0081] The alarm condition includes: the wake-up signal includes a target size signal collected by the wake-up device; the operation signal includes at least one of a target touch signal and a target vibration signal; wherein the target touch signal is characterized by a touch threshold signal collected by the touch sensor; the target vibration signal is characterized by a vibration threshold signal collected by the vibration sensor; and the facial image is an image of the target person collected by the image acquisition device.

[0082] Specifically, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 The judgment principle diagram of the anti-false alarm vehicle monitoring system of the present invention is shown; Figure 5The control strategy diagram of the anti-false alarm vehicle monitoring system of the present invention is shown. The millimeter wave radar can detect the size of the moving object and output a size signal. In this embodiment, common animals (cats, dogs, birds, etc.), children and adults have size differences. Among them, animals and children can be classified as non-car theft moving objects, and the vehicle is in a safe state and no alarm is required; while adults can be classified as suspected car theft persons, and the vehicle is in a dangerous state and enters the alarm mode. Through the size of the moving object, the millimeter wave radar can obtain the target size signal. The target size signal can be a size signal of a height greater than or equal to 1500mm and not higher than 2000mm, and a size signal of a width of 400mm-800mm. Size signals outside the target size signal can be considered non-target size signals, for example, non-target size signals can be size signals of a height less than 1500mm or a width less than 400mm. When the target size signal is transmitted to the vehicle controller, it can be understood that the moving object detected by the millimeter wave radar is a suspected car theft person, and the alarm condition is met at this time.

[0083] Onboard sensors can detect abnormal movement of moving objects and output an operation signal. In this embodiment, the operation frequencies for accidental collisions and intentional theft are different. A short-duration operation can be classified as a non-theft moving object, and the vehicle is safe, without an alarm. A high-frequency operation can be classified as a suspected theft, and the vehicle is in danger, entering alarm mode. Based on the operation frequency, the touch sensor can acquire a target touch signal, and the vibration sensor can acquire a target vibration signal. When the touch sensor detects no more than five touch signals and / or the touch duration is no more than 30 seconds, and the vibration sensor detects no more than five vibration signals and / or the touch duration is no more than 30 seconds, these are non-target operation signals. This indicates that the moving object detected by the onboard sensors is not a theft moving object, an accidental collision, and the vehicle is safe, without an alarm. Conversely, when the touch sensor detects more than five touch signals and / or the touch duration is longer than 30 seconds, a touch threshold signal is output; and when the vibration sensor detects more than five vibration signals and / or the touch duration is longer than 30 seconds, a vibration threshold signal is output. When the vehicle controller obtains the touch threshold signal and / or the vibration threshold signal, it can be understood that the moving object detected by the vehicle sensor is a suspected car thief, and the alarm condition is met.

[0084] The image acquisition device can capture the biometric features of a moving object and output a facial image. In this embodiment, the car owner can directly set non-car theft moving objects and car theft suspects. Among them, non-target person images (car owners, family members, and people who frequently use the car) can be classified as non-car theft moving objects, and the vehicle is in a safe state, without the need for an alarm; while target person images (non-car owners, family members, and people who frequently use the car) can be classified as suspected car theft persons, and the vehicle is in a dangerous state and enters alarm mode. When the facial image captured by the vehicle controller is the target person image, it can be understood that the moving object captured by the image acquisition device is a suspected car theft person, and the alarm condition is met at this time.

[0085] As a specific explanation of this embodiment, in one example, when any one of the wake-up signal, the operation signal, and the facial image does not meet the alarm condition, the vehicle controller does not need to send an alarm instruction to the alarm, and can be:

[0086] When the wake-up signal does not meet the alarm condition, the image acquisition device can be in a non-working state and does not need to send the facial image to the vehicle controller to save energy;

[0087] When the operation signal does not meet the alarm condition, the vehicle controller receives the facial image output by the image acquisition device and saves the camera information. The vehicle controller does not need to control the alarm to perform sound and light alarms to save energy.

[0088] When the facial image does not meet the alarm conditions, the vehicle controller receives the facial image output by the image acquisition device, and the vehicle controller does not need to control the alarm to execute the sound and light alarm to save energy.

[0089] Please refer again Figure 4 and Figure 5 , for example, the mode of judging the alarm condition through facial image can be:

[0090] The alarm modes of the vehicle controller include: white list mode, gray list mode and black list mode; wherein,

[0091] The whitelist mode includes non-target person images;

[0092] The grey list mode includes non-target size signals and non-target operation signals;

[0093] The blacklist mode includes the wake-up signal, the operation signal, and the facial image that meet the alarm condition;

[0094] The vehicle controller is configured to determine an alarm mode based on the received wake-up signal, the operation signal, and the facial image;

[0095] When the alarm mode is the whitelist mode, the vehicle controller is configured to stop receiving various signals;

[0096] When the alarm mode is the gray list mode, the vehicle controller is configured to store the received facial image;

[0097] When the alarm mode is the blacklist mode, the vehicle controller is configured to send an alarm instruction to the alarm.

[0098] In this embodiment, the vehicle controller can set up a whitelist, a graylist, and a blacklist. The owner can use the app installed on the mobile phone to collect facial information of non-target persons (including the owner, family members, and people who frequently use the car) through face recognition, obtain the non-target person image, and transmit it through the vehicle network device. The image is stored in the storage module of the vehicle controller to establish a whitelist;

[0099] The sizes of common animals (cats, dogs, birds, etc.) or children can be stored in the storage module of the vehicle controller to obtain non-target size signals; at the same time, the set number or time of touch / vibration can be stored in the storage module of the vehicle controller to obtain non-target operation signals and establish a gray list;

[0100] Moving objects outside the white list and the gray list can be considered to meet the target size signal, target touch signal, target vibration signal and target person image at the same time, and the moving objects that meet the alarm conditions can be divided into the black list.

[0101] In this alarm mode, the control strategy can be:

[0102] First, the millimeter-wave radar performs a preliminary identification of the size of the moving object to determine whether it is an animal or child on the gray list. If it is on the gray list, the vehicle controller saves the camera information;

[0103] If the person is not on the grey list, the image acquisition device is used to identify the person and determine whether he or she is on the white list. If he or she is on the white list, the vehicle controller will not respond to any action, saving energy.

[0104] If it is not on the white list, the vehicle sensor will identify the number or duration of touch / vibration to determine whether it is on the gray list. If it is on the gray list, the vehicle controller will save the video information.

[0105] If it does not belong to the gray list, it is judged to be on the black list, and the vehicle controller controls the alarm to sound and light alarm.

[0106] In this way, millimeter-wave radar performs size recognition, eliminating alarms caused by accidental collisions with animals and children. After eliminating animals and children and confirming that the vehicle is an adult, the image acquisition device performs human identity recognition, eliminating alarms caused by the vehicle owner or trusted personnel operating the vehicle. After eliminating the vehicle owner and trusted personnel as the target person, the on-board sensor identifies accidental collisions and intentional theft, eliminating alarms caused by accidental collisions. This avoids alarms caused by animals or children accidentally touching the vehicle when the vehicle is parked on the roadside or in old residential areas.

[0107] It should be explained that during the whitelist determination process, the image acquisition device establishes a connection with the vehicle controller. The determination module within the vehicle controller extracts the facial image and generates a corresponding biometric value, which is then compared with image samples in a whitelist pre-stored in the vehicle controller's storage module. If the captured facial image does not match any of the whitelisted image samples, it is not on the whitelist. If a match is found, it is on the whitelist, and the vehicle controller does not respond, saving energy.

[0108] It should also be explained that when the gray list judgment is being made, the wake-up device establishes a connection with the vehicle controller, and the judgment module in the vehicle controller identifies and analyzes the size signal, touch signal, and vibration signal, and compares them with the target size signal, target touch signal, and target vibration signal stored in the storage module in the vehicle controller in advance. If the collected size signal meets the target size signal, it belongs to the gray list; otherwise, it does not belong to the gray list. If the collected vibration signal and / or touch signal meets the target touch signal and / or target vibration signal, it belongs to the gray list; otherwise, it does not belong to the gray list.

[0109] In this way, the embodiment of the present invention can set different trigger conditions according to different usage scenarios and environments for separate control, thereby improving vehicle detection accuracy, saving power and reducing the risk of false alarms.

[0110] Reference Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the monitoring area of ​​the wake-up device; in order to further save electricity, the wake-up signal in the embodiment of the present invention also includes a trigger wake-up signal that the wake-up device starts to collect within the monitoring area; the monitoring area is characterized by a preset radius range with the vehicle as the center; wherein the vehicle controller is used to receive the trigger wake-up signal monitored by the wake-up device, control the on-board sensor to collect the operation signal, and the image acquisition device to collect the facial image.

[0111] In this embodiment, upon detecting a moving object entering the monitoring area, the millimeter-wave radar records the object's relative position and outputs a trigger wake-up signal containing the object's position information, thereby entering a preparatory acquisition mode. Specifically, the vehicle controller establishes a connection with the image acquisition device. Upon receiving the trigger wake-up signal, the vehicle controller controls the onboard sensors to enter acquisition mode, preparing to capture unusual activity in the vehicle's surroundings. Simultaneously, the image acquisition device controls the image acquisition device to enter acquisition mode, preparing to capture facial images of moving objects around the vehicle.

[0112] The monitoring area is set with different danger intervals with the vehicle as the center. For example, a circle with a radius of 2.8m is drawn with the vehicle as the center, and a circle with a radius of 3.2m is drawn with the vehicle as the center. The area between the two is set as a buffer zone ( Figure 6 The hatched area in the figure is the safe area outside 3.2m and the strong monitoring area within 3.0m. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, when the vehicle is parked and locked, the system activates the millimeter-wave radar to detect surrounding moving objects, centered around the vehicle. Size recognition and other detection are not performed when the moving object is greater than 3m ± 0.2m away, saving energy. When the moving object is within 3m-0.2m of the vehicle, a trigger wake-up signal is output, and the system enters standby mode, starting to collect and analyze operational signals and facial images. When the distance again exceeds 3m ± 0.2m, subsequent detection and operation cease, and only the millimeter-wave radar is used to detect surrounding moving objects.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the moving object is repeatedly located in the buffer zone and the range of 3m-0.2m (more than 3 times), the system also stops subsequent detection and operation to avoid frequent invalid startup of the system. At this time, when the object enters the range of 2m, subsequent operation is entered.

[0114] Example 2:

[0115] Please refer again Figure 1-Figure 5 In combination with the above embodiments, in another embodiment, the alarm module further includes a vehicle body component and a user terminal; the vehicle controller is used to send a locking instruction to the vehicle body component and a vehicle safety reminder message to the user terminal when at least one of the wake-up signal, the operation signal and the facial image meets the alarm condition; the vehicle body component is used to perform a vehicle locking operation according to the locking instruction.

[0116] In this embodiment, the user end can be the vehicle owner's mobile phone. The vehicle controller is connected to the vehicle's internal network connector, which is equipped with a T-BOX. The T-BOX contains a SIM card and uses the data traffic provided by the SIM card to transmit data to the server and the client's mobile phone. It is understood that the system controller and T-BOX can communicate via the CAN bus or Ethernet, enabling two-way transmission of data and commands; the T-BOX and the server can communicate via a 4G or 5G network, enabling two-way transmission of data and commands; and the server and the vehicle owner's mobile phone can communicate via the Internet, enabling two-way transmission of data and commands. When a user issues a remote control command on their mobile phone, the command is sent to the server via the Internet, then to the T-BOX via the 4G or 5G network. Finally, the T-BOX sends the command to the system controller via the CAN bus or Ethernet, and the remote control function is implemented through the system controller's execution module.

[0117] Specifically, when the system enters standby mode, the touch sensors (hood lock switch, door lock switch, tailgate lock switch) and vibration sensors start the detection mode, collect touch and vibration, and input the corresponding operation signals into the vehicle controller; at the same time, the surround view camera collects the facial image of the moving object and inputs it into the vehicle controller. If the vehicle controller determines that it is on the white list, no operation will be performed. If it is on the gray list, only the camera information will be saved. If the vehicle controller determines that it is on the black list, the vehicle controller will not only control the alarm to sound and light alarms, but also continue to take pictures and store the image data in the storage module within the vehicle controller, and transmit it to the user end through the on-board network device. If there is touch and abnormal vibration, the on-board network device will send a warning reminder and video image to the user end, and the execution module of the vehicle controller will control the hood lock switch, door lock switch, and tailgate lock switch to force lock to prevent intrusion.

[0118] In combination with the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the system further includes: a power management module connected to the vehicle controller; the vehicle controller is configured to receive power provided by the power management module; wherein the power management module includes a first battery ( Figure 1 Battery 1) and the second battery ( Figure 1 Battery 2 in the vehicle), each battery is connected to a power sensor in a one-to-one correspondence; when the first battery stops supplying power to the vehicle controller, the second battery supplies power to the vehicle controller.

[0119] Specifically, the system includes a first battery (presumably a conventional starter battery) located in the vehicle's cabin or trunk, and a second battery specifically designed for this system. Both batteries are connected to power sensors 1 and 2, respectively, which monitor the battery levels. The two parallel batteries prevent system failures caused by power shortages. The first and second batteries are connected in parallel to ensure reliable power supply.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first and second batteries are connected in series with the generator, ensuring that both batteries can be charged during normal vehicle operation. This improves charging convenience and ensures the safety of the entire power supply system. It also prevents the first battery from losing power during maintenance, which could cause the system to become inoperable. The generator simultaneously charges the second battery.

[0121] At the same time, in order to ensure the power supply for long-term parking, preferably, this solution is also designed with solar panels and generators. The generator charges the two batteries when the vehicle is driving, and the solar panels can be used to charge the batteries during driving and parking during the day.
