Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of electric vehicles, and in particular to a control method and related equipment for an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The existing electric vehicle unlocking logic is usually that after the electric vehicle is successfully matched with the terminal, the user arrives at the target vehicle, the user performs the unlocking action, and immediately turns on the vehicle to unlock it after the unlocking action is performed. However, the above unlocking logic has the following problems:

[0003] (1) After the match is successful, the user needs to check the phone to confirm whether the match is successful;

[0004] (2) Between the time the match is successful and the time the user arrives at the target vehicle, there is no prompt information from the vehicle, and the user cannot quickly find the target vehicle;

[0005] (3) The unlocking behavior is usually a single behavior set by the manufacturer when it leaves the factory. The behavior is usually a single action, which is easy for users to master and master, and it is also easy for thieves to become familiar with it. After the terminal is successfully matched, but the user has not reached the target vehicle, it is easy for thieves to unlock it first, increasing the risk of theft.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an exemplary electronic device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the electronic device 200 may include: a processor 202, a memory 204, a network module 206, a peripheral interface 208 and a bus 210. The processor 202, the memory 204, the network module 206 and the peripheral interface 208 are connected to each other in communication within the electronic device 200 through the bus 210.

[0052] Processor 202 may be a central processing unit (CPU), a neural network processor (NPU), a microcontroller (MCU), a programmable logic device, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits.

In some embodiments, processor 202 may also include multiple processors integrated into a single logical component. For example, Figure 2 As shown, processor 202 may include a plurality of processors 202a, 202b, and 202c.

[0053] The memory 204 may be configured to store data (eg, instructions, computer code, etc.).

[0058] The disclosed embodiment provides an unlocking method and related equipment for an electric vehicle. Identity matching is performed through communication signals, and after successful matching, the device is turned on, and prompt information such as sound and / or light is emitted to prompt the user that the matching is successful, while helping the user to quickly locate the electric vehicle. After successful identity matching, the device is turned on without unlocking, which can prevent the electric vehicle from being ridden away by others before the user reaches it after unlocking, further enhancing safety.

[0059] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic flow chart of a control method for an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The control method for an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be deployed on a server side or an electric vehicle. Figure 3 In the control method 300 of the electric vehicle, the control method 300 may further include the following steps.

[0060] In step S310, a matching request signal is sent.

[0061] Among them, the matching request signal may refer to a signal for requesting an identity match with the sender. For example, it may be a broadcast Bluetooth signal. Specifically, the Bluetooth module of the electric vehicle may periodically broadcast a Bluetooth signal, which may contain basic information of the electric vehicle (such as a Media Access Control (MAC) address, etc.). The Bluetooth signal of the electric vehicle can be received by nearby Bluetooth devices (such as a user's smartphone) within a certain range. It should be understood that the frequency of the Bluetooth signal broadcast by the Bluetooth module of the electric vehicle can be adjusted according to actual needs to balance the signal coverage and battery consumption. The electric vehicle may be an electric two-wheeled vehicle, such as an electric bicycle, an electric scooter, an electric motorcycle, etc.; it may also include non-electric vehicles such as electric tricycles, which are not limited here.

[0062] In some embodiments, after sending the matching request signal, the method 300 further includes:

[0063] Establishing a communication connection with the terminal;

[0064] The matching success signal is received, wherein the terminal determines the distance between the terminal and the electric vehicle based on the received signal strength in the communication connection; and generates the matching success signal in response to determining that the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance.

[0065] Among them, the communication module of the terminal can continuously scan nearby communication devices. For example, the communication module of the terminal can be a Bluetooth module. When a Bluetooth signal from an electric vehicle is detected, a device that has been successfully paired before can be automatically established. That is, when there is already a pairing record between the electric vehicle and the terminal, a connection can be established directly without re-pairing. The terminal can verify the identity of the detected electric vehicle. If the identity authentication is successful, the distance between the terminal and the electric vehicle is measured by the Bluetooth signal strength RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). If the distance is less than or equal to the preset distance, an identity authentication signal is generated and sent to the electric vehicle.

[0066] In step S320, in response to receiving a matching success signal from the terminal for the matching request signal, the electric vehicle is controlled to start up but not unlocked; wherein, a prompt message is issued when the electric vehicle is turned on; and the matching success signal is generated when the distance between the terminal and the electric vehicle is less than or equal to a preset distance.

[0067] Among them, the power-on but unlocked state may refer to the electric vehicle being powered on but still in a locked state. Specifically, the user's smartphone turns on the Bluetooth function and scans the surrounding Bluetooth devices. When the smartphone receives the Bluetooth signal from the electric vehicle, it establishes a connection with the electric vehicle and determines the distance to the electric vehicle by the signal strength (RSSI value). If the smartphone detects that the distance to the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the preset distance, a successful match signal is generated. In this state, the electric vehicle is powered on, but is still in a locked state and riding is not allowed.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electric vehicle sends a prompt message when it is turned on, including:

[0069] The electric vehicle prompts the user based on sound and / or light that the electric vehicle has been turned on and a communication connection has been successfully established with the terminal.

[0070] When the distance between the terminal and the electric vehicle is less than or equal to the preset distance, a successful matching signal can be generated, and the electric vehicle controls the electric vehicle to start after receiving the successful matching signal. At this time, sound prompts and / or light prompts can also be used to clearly convey the status of the vehicle and the connection between it and the smart device (terminal) to the user.

[0071] The use of sound prompts can be achieved by installing a speaker or buzzer on the electric vehicle to generate sound to prompt the user. Specifically, the sound prompt can give instant feedback through the speaker or buzzer, improve safety, help users confirm the status of the electric vehicle in a noisy environment, and prevent misuse by others. The speaker or buzzer sends a sound prompt according to a preset sound effect or frequency, for example, a "beep" sound or a specific voice prompt, such as "the electric vehicle is ready."

[0072] The light prompt can be used to prompt the user according to a preset mode (such as flashing, always on, color change). The light prompt can provide instant feedback through a light emitting diode (LED) light or other indicator light to improve safety. Specifically, for example, the light prompt can immediately inform the user that the electric vehicle has received the authentication signal, and the user can quickly confirm the status of the electric vehicle to prevent it from being misused by others. For example, the LED light flashes or changes color, indicating that the electric vehicle has been activated. Further, in some embodiments, the same prompt method or different light and sound prompt methods can be used to prompt the user of the power-on status and / or communication connection status. For example, when the electric vehicle is turned on, one or more indicator lights can be turned on to show that the electric vehicle has started, such as indicator lights that can be located in an easily observable position of the scooter, such as the handlebars, body or tail. When the electric vehicle successfully establishes a communication connection with the terminal (such as a Bluetooth connection), the color or flashing mode of another indicator light can be turned on or changed to confirm the connection status.

[0073] In order to provide a more intuitive prompt, the sound and light prompts can also be used in combination. For example, when the electric vehicle is turned on, a sound effect is played and an indicator light is turned on at the same time to confirm that the electric vehicle has been started and a communication connection (for example, a Bluetooth connection) has been established.

[0074] In the prior art, powering on and unlocking usually occur simultaneously. However, powering on and unlocking are divided into two steps. After the electric vehicle and the terminal are successfully matched, the electric vehicle starts up and sends a prompt message but does not unlock. The prompt message can inform the user that the electric vehicle and the terminal have been successfully matched, and the user does not need to check the phone for confirmation; at the same time, the prompt message can help the user quickly find the target vehicle.

[0075] In step S320, in response to detecting that the user's real-time behavior with respect to the electric vehicle matches a preset behavior, the electric vehicle is unlocked.

[0076] Among them, behavior can refer to the user's control of the electric vehicle, rather than information. Correspondingly, the preset behavior can refer to the user's operation behavior on the functional components of the electric vehicle or the posture change behavior caused by the operation behavior, rather than preset information such as user biometric information (such as face, fingerprint, etc.). In the prior art, biometric identification has high requirements for objective conditions. For example, face recognition requires lighting conditions; fingerprint recognition requires hand cleaning; bad weather will also affect biometric identification. Moreover, the cost of the biometric module is high and requires special deployment, which is not conducive to cost reduction of electric vehicles. Compared with the recognition effect of biometric information, which is easily affected by objective conditions and has high deployment costs, the method disclosed in the present invention unlocks the electric vehicle based on preset behavior, which will not affect its unlocking effect even in a harsh objective environment, and has lower requirements for objective conditions; and the preset behavior is to operate the existing functional components of the electric vehicle, without the need for additional components, which reduces the production cost of the electric vehicle.

[0077] Furthermore, the existing unlocking behavior is usually a single behavior preset by the manufacturer, which is easy for thieves to be familiar with, so there is a risk that the communication match is successful, but the user has not reached the target vehicle, and the thief unlocks and rides away. Moreover, the user cannot select and / or customize the unlocking behavior, and the experience is poor. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether to unlock the electric vehicle by detecting whether the user's real-time behavior of the electric vehicle matches the preset behavior. The preset behavior can be a custom preset behavior set by the user in the unlocking setting mode of the electric vehicle, or an existing preset behavior selected by the user from multiple existing preset behaviors, or an existing preset behavior selected by the user from multiple existing preset behaviors and a custom preset behavior set by the user. The above method not only improves security and ensures that only legitimate users can unlock the electric vehicle, but also enhances user experience and personalized choices.

[0078] In some embodiments, method 300 may further include:

[0079] In response to receiving a first setting instruction from a terminal or a second setting instruction from the electric vehicle, controlling the electric vehicle to enter an unlocking setting mode;

[0080] The preset behavior is an existing preset behavior selected by the user from a plurality of existing preset behaviors in the unlock setting mode, and / or a user-defined preset behavior in the unlock setting mode.

[0081] Among them, the unlock setting mode means that in this mode of the electric vehicle, the user can define a set of specific behavior patterns as verification conditions for subsequent unlocking of the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle can enter the unlock setting mode in response to instructions from two different sources. One is the first setting instruction from the user terminal (such as a smart phone, smart watch, etc.), and the other is the second setting instruction from the electric vehicle itself (such as through a button or touch screen on the body). When receiving any instruction, the electric vehicle can first verify the validity of the instruction (such as through a password, fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.), and then confirm whether to enter the unlock setting mode.

[0082] In the unlock setting mode, the electric vehicle will provide multiple preset behaviors for the user to choose from. These preset behaviors may be default preset behaviors or preset behaviors that the user has used in the past. The user can select one or more of the preset behaviors through the interface on the terminal or the electric vehicle.

[0083] If the user wants to customize a new preset behavior, this process can be triggered by performing specific setting operations on the electric vehicle. These operations may include adjusting the direction of the handlebars, changing the angle of the body, or applying specific pressure. The electric vehicle will obtain these posture information in real time. Algorithmic processing is performed based on the acquired posture information to determine the custom behavior that the user wants to set. For example, the user adjusts the handlebar direction alternately to the left and right as a customized preset behavior. In some embodiments, the user can end the unlock setting mode through a terminal (such as a smart phone, smart watch, etc.) paired with the electric vehicle. For example, open the corresponding application on the terminal, and then find and click the option to end or exit the mode. In some embodiments, the electric vehicle itself may be equipped with physical buttons or touch screens, and the user can end the unlock setting mode through these control elements. For example, a specific button can be long pressed, or the corresponding option can be selected on the touch screen. Unlike ending the mode through the terminal, ending the mode from the electric vehicle is usually more direct and immediate. Users do not need to rely on external devices, but only need to perform simple operations on the electric vehicle.

[0084] Once the user determines the preset behavior, the electric vehicle will save this setting for subsequent use. When the user exits the unlock setting mode and starts to use the electric vehicle normally, the previously saved settings will automatically take effect. After turning on the electric vehicle, the user unlocks it by adjusting the handlebar direction alternately to the left and right. Specifically, the user sets the direction and angle in the unlock setting mode of the electric vehicle, triggering the electric vehicle to record the posture changes caused by these operations, and determine these changes as preset behaviors. The user first triggers the electric vehicle to enter the unlock setting mode through an operation (such as long pressing a button of an electric vehicle or a control in a terminal application (Application, APP)), and then performs specific operations in direction and angle. The electric vehicle is provided with a posture detection device, such as a gyroscope. The posture detection device detects and records the posture changes caused by these operations, and finally determines these posture changes as preset behaviors. This method not only enhances the security of the system, ensuring that only users who have passed the specific behavior verification can unlock the electric vehicle, but also improves the user experience and increases the flexibility and convenience of the system through personalized settings. Compared with the existing technology that cannot select the unlock behavior, the existing preset line provides multiple preset behaviors for users to choose, which improves the user experience and security level. Compared with the existing technology that cannot customize the unlocking behavior, the customized preset behavior allows users to DIY the unlocking behavior, improving the user experience and security level.

[0085] In some embodiments, the preset behavior includes at least one of a combination of functional component operation behaviors, a combination of posture change behaviors, or a combination of functional component operation behaviors and posture change behaviors.

[0086] Among them, the preset behaviors (whether existing preset behaviors or user-defined preset behaviors) can include individual or combined operations of functional components, individual or combined changes in the posture of the electric vehicle, and any combination of these two behaviors. These combinations enable the electric vehicle to perform preset actions according to a variety of different scenarios and needs. It not only provides users with a more natural and intuitive interactive experience and enriches the user's interaction methods, but also realizes the collaborative work of multiple interaction methods, improving the security, flexibility and efficiency of unlocking.

[0087] In some embodiments, the functional component operation behavior includes a triggering behavior of a left brake assembly, a triggering behavior of a right brake assembly, a triggering behavior of a left turn signal, a triggering behavior of a right turn signal, or a triggering behavior of stepping on a pedal;

[0088] The combination of the functional component operation behaviors includes the superposition of any one of the trigger behaviors, or the combination of any multiple of the trigger behaviors.

[0089] Among them, the triggering behavior of the left brake assembly, the triggering behavior of the right brake assembly, the triggering behavior of the left turn signal, and the triggering behavior of the right turn signal may refer to the behavior of triggering the controls corresponding to the left brake assembly, the right brake assembly, the left turn signal, and the right turn signal, respectively. For example, the triggering behavior of the left brake assembly may be pressing the control button of the left brake assembly, the triggering behavior of the right brake assembly, the triggering behavior of the left turn signal, and the triggering behavior of the right turn signal may be pressing the control buttons of the right brake assembly, the left turn signal, and the right turn signal, respectively. As an optional embodiment, the triggering operation of stepping on the pedal may refer to that the user can step on the pedal with a certain force, and the pressure sensor at the position or the vicinity of the triggering pedal is identified to be unlocked multiple times (such as greater than or equal to 2 times) within a certain time range by identifying the stepping pressure. The combination of the operation behaviors of the functional components may be multiple superpositions of a single triggering behavior, such as pressing the control button of the right brake assembly multiple times; or it may be a sequential combination of multiple triggering behaviors, such as alternately pressing the control buttons of the left turn signal and the right turn signal. The sequential combination of multiple trigger behaviors may include trigger behaviors with a sequential order, and may also include trigger behaviors performed simultaneously, for example, first performing the trigger behavior of stepping on the pedal, and then pressing the control buttons of the left turn signal and the right turn signal at the same time. It should be understood that the combination of the above-mentioned functional component operation behaviors is only an example and is not intended to be limited thereto. The combination of functional component operation behaviors may be any combination of one or more functional component operation behaviors, one or more times, simultaneously or non-simultaneously, and is not limited here.

[0090] In some embodiments, the posture change behavior includes a control behavior of turning the front of the electric vehicle to the left, a control behavior of turning the front of the electric vehicle to the right, a control behavior of tilting the body of the electric vehicle to the left, or a control behavior of tilting the body of the electric vehicle to the right;

[0091] The combination of the posture change behaviors includes the superposition of any one of the control behaviors, or the combination of any multiple of the control behaviors.

[0092] Among them, the posture change behavior can refer to the behavior of the posture of the electric vehicle changing, such as the rotation behavior of the front of the vehicle within a certain angle range, the tilting behavior of the vehicle body within a certain angle range, etc. As an optional embodiment, the control behavior of tilting the vehicle body of the electric vehicle to the left and the control behavior of tilting the vehicle body of the electric vehicle to the right can refer to the user tilting the vehicle body to the left or right at a certain angle, and judging whether the tilt angle reaches the preset angle by the internal gyroscope, and triggering unlocking when the preset angle is reached. Among them, the preset angle of the left and right tilt of the vehicle body is less than or equal to 30°, which can realize tilt unlocking without causing the electric vehicle to tip over. Similarly, the combination of posture change behaviors can be multiple superpositions of a single control behavior, or a sequential combination of multiple control behaviors. The sequential combination of multiple control behaviors can include control behaviors with a sequence, and can also include control behaviors performed simultaneously. The combination of posture change behaviors can be any combination of one or more control behaviors, one or more times, simultaneously or non-simultaneously, and is not limited here.

[0093] In some embodiments, the functional component operation behavior includes a triggering behavior of a left brake assembly, a triggering behavior of a right brake assembly, a triggering behavior of a left turn signal, a triggering behavior of a right turn signal, or a triggering behavior of stepping on a pedal;

[0094] The posture change behavior includes a control behavior of turning the front of the electric vehicle to the left, a control behavior of turning the front of the electric vehicle to the right, a control behavior of tilting the body of the electric vehicle to the left, or a control behavior of tilting the body of the electric vehicle to the right;

[0095] The combination of the functional component operation behavior and the posture change behavior includes a combination of at least one of the triggering behaviors and at least one of the manipulation behaviors.

[0096] Among them, the triggering behavior of the functional component in the functional component operation behavior and the manipulation behavior in the posture change behavior can also be combined to achieve the setting of more combinations of preset behaviors, further improving the security of unlocking the electric vehicle.

[0097] In step S330, in response to detecting that the real-time user behavior with respect to the electric vehicle matches a preset behavior, the electric vehicle is unlocked.

[0098] The control module of the electric vehicle will record the preset behavior determined by the user. When the user tries to unlock the electric vehicle, the system will detect whether the operation is consistent with the previously set behavior pattern. If it matches, the electric vehicle will be allowed to be unlocked, thereby ensuring that only legitimate users can complete the unlocking operation. It should be understood that the user can set one or more preset behaviors, which are not limited here.

[0099] In some embodiments, the electric vehicle is provided with a posture detection device;

[0100] In response to detecting that the real-time user behavior with respect to the electric vehicle matches the preset behavior, unlocking the electric vehicle includes:

[0101] In response to detecting a real-time user behavior on the electric vehicle, acquiring a first posture change of the electric vehicle based on the posture detection device;

[0102] comparing whether the first posture change is consistent with the combination of the posture change behaviors;

[0103] In response to the first posture change being consistent with the combination of the posture change behaviors, unlocking the electric vehicle;

[0104] In response to the inconsistency between the first posture change and the combination of the posture change behaviors, refusing to unlock the electric vehicle and / or prompting the user that unlocking is unsuccessful.

[0105] Among them, when the user tries to unlock the electric vehicle, the system can detect the posture change of the electric vehicle in real time through a posture detection device (such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.), and can obtain a series of posture changes, namely the first posture change. And compare the detected first posture change with the combination of posture change behaviors to determine whether the two are consistent. If the detected first posture change is consistent with the preset combination of posture change behaviors, it is considered that the user identity verification is passed and the electric vehicle is unlocked.

[0106] For example, in the unlocking setting mode of the electric vehicle, a series of specific operations are performed, such as "first turn the handle of the electric vehicle 45 degrees to the left, and then tilt the body of the electric vehicle 5 degrees to the right". The electric vehicle can record the posture changes caused by these operations, and store these changes as preset behaviors to form a user behavior pattern database. When the user tries to unlock the electric vehicle again, the previously set behavior can be repeated: first turn the handle of the electric vehicle 45 degrees to the left, and then tilt the body of the electric vehicle 5 degrees to the right. The posture detection device of the electric vehicle detects the first posture change caused by these operations in real time, and compares it with the posture change behavior of the preset behavior stored previously. If the difference between the detected first posture change and the posture change behavior is within the allowable range, the two are considered to be consistent, and it is determined that the user behavior verification has passed, and the electric vehicle can be unlocked.

[0107] In some embodiments, method 300 may further include:

[0108] In response to the inconsistency between the first posture change and the combination of the posture change behaviors, or in response to detecting that the user's real-time behavior with respect to the electric vehicle does not match the preset behavior, the electric vehicle is refused to be unlocked and / or the user is prompted that the unlocking is unsuccessful.

[0109] Specifically, if the difference between the detected first posture change and the combination of posture change behaviors is not within an acceptable range, indicating that the detected real-time user behavior does not match the preset behavior, the system refuses to unlock the electric vehicle and prompts the user that the unlocking is unsuccessful. For example, the user performs a series of specific operations in the unlocking setting mode of the electric vehicle, such as "first turn the handle of the scooter 30 degrees to the left, and then tilt the body 10 degrees to the left." When unlocking the electric vehicle, the user tries a different operation, such as "first turn the handle of the electric vehicle 30 degrees to the right, and then tilt the body 10 degrees to the left." Since the detected first posture change is different from the combination of the preset posture change behaviors, the electric vehicle can be refused to be unlocked. At this time, a prompt message can also be sent to the user through the user terminal (such as a smart phone) to inform him that the unlocking is unsuccessful and suggest that he try again.

[0110] It can be seen that according to the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user's behavior is monitored in real time by the posture detection device, and compared with the preset behavior pattern, to ensure that only legitimate users can unlock the electric vehicle, effectively preventing unauthorized persons from unlocking the electric vehicle by other means. The electric vehicle will only be unlocked when the user performs the correct preset behavior, avoiding the unlocking of the electric vehicle due to misoperation. The user does not need to remember complex passwords or perform cumbersome verification steps, but only needs to repeat the natural behavior set before to complete the unlocking, which simplifies the operation process. The behavior-based verification method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is more intuitive and improves the user experience. Users can also set different preset behaviors according to their own habits, which increases the flexibility and personalization of the system. In addition, users are allowed to change the preset behavior at any time to adapt to different usage scenarios. In this way, electric vehicles not only improve safety, but also simplify the user's unlocking process and enhance the user experience.

[0111] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.
