[0002] With the continuous improvement of material life, vehicles have entered thousands of households and become an indispensable part of people's daily life. However, with the arrival of the rainy season, the water level in many parking areas will rise rapidly. Some users are unable to understand the water accumulation near their vehicles and fail to drive away in time, which may lead to situations where their vehicles are soaked in water without knowing it, resulting in safety hazards such as aging and cracking of the lines, and damage to the engine after water ingress.

[0003] In related technologies, "vehicle security alarm" has become the most common function, which can push early warning information to users when the bound vehicle collides, is towed or other abnormal intrusions occur, allowing users to discover problems and deal with them in time.

[0004] However, in the related art, the possible level of water hazard of the vehicle can only be judged manually, but the accuracy of manual judgment is low, and the vehicle cannot actively issue an early warning prompt when the user leaves the vehicle, which makes it impossible for the user to move the vehicle in time, causing the vehicle to be flooded and causing unnecessary property losses to the user. The intelligence level of the vehicle is low, which reduces the user's trust and the user experience is poor, which urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0063] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0064] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0065] Figure 1 A flow chart of a vehicle water damage warning method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0067] In step S101, it is detected whether at least one of the rainfall amount and the rainfall duration at the current location of the vehicle reaches a preset warning condition.

[0068] It is understandable that the amount of rainfall and the duration of rainfall are not constant. In order to ensure that the vehicle is not soaked in water when it rains, this application needs to determine the extent of the possibility of the vehicle being soaked in water based on whether the amount of rainfall at the current location of the vehicle and the duration of rainfall meet certain conditions. Among them, the greater the rainfall and the longer the duration of rainfall, the greater the possibility of the vehicle being soaked in water. It should be noted that the setting of the set conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0069] As a possible implementation method, the present application can judge whether the rainfall amount and the duration of rainfall at the current location of the vehicle meet certain conditions based on the amount of rainfall and the duration of rainfall, and then judge the possibility of vehicle water immersion, ensure the safety of the vehicle, protect the personal safety and property safety of the user, and improve user satisfaction. The preset warning conditions can be set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions. For example, based on the vehicle model and air intake height, the water immersion judgment of each vehicle is different, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments, detecting whether at least one of the rainfall amount and the duration of rainfall at the current location of the vehicle meets a preset warning condition includes: obtaining weather information of the current location; obtaining the rainfall amount and the duration of rainfall according to the weather information, and determining whether the rainfall amount is greater than or equal to a preset rainfall threshold, and determining whether the duration of rainfall is greater than or equal to a preset warning duration.

[0071] It is understandable that there are many ways to detect the rainfall amount and duration of rainfall at the vehicle location in this application, such as through weather information, where the weather information may include current weather information, weather forecast information, etc., where the way to obtain the weather may be but is not limited to: logging into the "Weather" APP (Application), website query, SMS customization, radio, newspaper, etc. Among them, the rainfall amount and duration of rainfall at the current location of the vehicle can be checked through weather information.

[0072] Specifically, rainfall generally refers to the depth of the water layer that falls to the ground within a certain period of time, and the unit is expressed in millimeters, which can be 20 mm, 30 mm or 50 mm, etc. The duration of rainfall can be one hour, twelve hours or twenty-four hours, etc. The commonly said light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, rainstorm, etc. are generally measured by the rainfall in twenty-four hours. Among them, light rain can refer to rain with a precipitation of no more than 10 mm in twenty-four hours, light to moderate rain is 5 mm to 16.9 mm, moderate rain is 10 mm to 24.9 mm, moderate to heavy rain is 17 mm to 37.9 mm, heavy rain is 25 mm to 49.9 mm, and heavy to rainstorm is 38 mm to 74.9 mm. Rainfall exceeding 50 mm in twenty-four hours is called rainstorm, exceeding 100 mm is called heavy rainstorm, and exceeding 250 mm is called extremely heavy rainstorm. The size of rainfall can also be measured by one-hour rainfall and twelve-hour rainfall. The specific setting method can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0073] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application can determine the possibility of the vehicle being flooded by setting the amount of rainfall and the duration of rainfall.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application can determine that the possibility of the vehicle being flooded is high when the rainfall is too heavy, such as exceeding 30 mm, or the rainfall lasts for a long time, such as exceeding ten hours, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle, improving the intelligence level of the vehicle, improving the user experience, and improving user satisfaction.

[0075] It should be noted that the preset rainfall threshold and the preset warning duration can be set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0076] In step S102, when it is detected that at least one of the rainfall amount and the rainfall duration reaches a preset warning condition, the actual water level around the vehicle is collected, and the current body image of the vehicle is collected.

[0077] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can detect the wading height around the vehicle through sensing equipment such as ultrasonic radar, and can also use image acquisition sensors such as vehicle-mounted cameras and surround-view cameras to capture images of the vehicle's surroundings.

[0078] For example, there are many ways to set up the sensor equipment in the embodiments of the present application, such as installing it on the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle, the side of the vehicle, etc., to collect the wading information of the vehicle. There are many ways to set up the camera, such as installing a camera on the front and rear of the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror to collect information about the vehicle's front wheels, doors, body, etc. Among them, the specific setting method can be set by those skilled in the art according to the situation, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0079] As a possible implementation method, when the rainfall amount and duration of rainfall meet certain conditions, the embodiment of the present application can collect the vehicle's wading height through ultrasonic radar and use a surround-view camera to obtain the vehicle's body image, and then combine them to judge the possibility of the vehicle being submerged in water.

[0080] The embodiments of the present application can comprehensively judge the possibility of the vehicle being submerged in water based on the vehicle's wading height and the vehicle's current front image, remind the user that the vehicle is at risk of being submerged in water and move the vehicle as soon as possible, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle, protecting the user's personal safety and property safety, improving the vehicle's intelligence level, improving the user's usage experience, and improving user satisfaction.

[0081] Optionally, in some embodiments, before collecting the actual water level height around the vehicle, it also includes: determining whether the vehicle meets a preset prompt condition; if the vehicle meets the preset prompt condition, controlling the vehicle to enter a water immersion warning mode.

[0082] It can be understood that, when the rainfall amount and duration of rainfall meet certain conditions, the present application also needs to judge the environment of the vehicle before collecting the wading height of the vehicle, wherein the environment of the vehicle includes not only the internal environment of the vehicle, but also the external environment of the vehicle.

[0083] Specifically, the present application can control the vehicle to enter the water immersion warning mode when there is no user in the vehicle. The situation where there is no user in the vehicle can be, but is not limited to, the user leaving the vehicle, the vehicle being locked, etc., and the present application does not make specific restrictions. The vehicle can also be controlled to enter the water immersion mode when the vehicle is in a very low-lying terrain to improve the reliability of the warning, and the present application does not make specific restrictions.

[0084] In the actual implementation process, before controlling the vehicle to enter the water immersion warning mode, the embodiment of the present application not only needs to judge the vehicle's wading height, but also needs to comprehensively consider the vehicle's warning needs, such as whether the user has left the vehicle, so as to accurately and effectively control the vehicle to enter the water immersion warning mode, improve user trust, improve user satisfaction, and increase user stickiness.

[0085] It should be noted that the preset prompt conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0086] Optionally, in some embodiments, after controlling the vehicle to enter the water flooding warning mode, it also includes: determining whether it is raining at the current location; if it is raining at the current location, generating a water level monitoring signal for the vehicle at preset time intervals to collect the actual water level and the current vehicle body image.

[0087] As a possible implementation method, in the embodiment of the present application, when the predicted rainfall amount and rainfall duration meet certain conditions and after the user leaves the vehicle, it is necessary to further determine whether it is actually raining at the current location of the vehicle, and after it really rains, collect the vehicle's wading information at intervals (periodically). The preset duration can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0088] In step S103, the actual wading depth of the vehicle is determined according to the actual water level and the current vehicle body image, and when the actual wading depth is greater than a preset alarm threshold, a water soaking prompt is sent to the user.

[0089] It is understandable that, after the vehicle body image is captured by the camera, the embodiment of the present application can further analyze the vehicle body imaging elements in the vehicle body image captured by the camera, accurately determine the actual wading depth of the vehicle in combination with the actual water level of the vehicle and the vehicle body image, and send a water soaking reminder to the user when the actual wading depth of the vehicle is greater than the warning position, which can be but not limited to text messages, WeChat, broadcasts, etc. Among them, the size of the warning position and the way of sending the water soaking reminder to the user can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0090] For example, the embodiment of the present application can analyze the vehicle body image in real time through the camera installed on the vehicle, and perform image processing data analysis on the real-time vehicle body image and the preset vehicle body image, so as to determine whether the actual wading depth of the vehicle has really reached the warning position based on the real-time comparison of the picture difference plus the fault tolerance interval judgment, and then send a water soaking prompt to the user after reaching the warning position. In addition, if the warning position is reached based on image recognition, or the warning position is reached based on radar data recognition, but on the other hand, the warning position is not recognized, for the sake of insurance, the recognized data is used as the basis to improve the accuracy of the warning, or the actual wading depth is identified based on a specific method, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application can send a water soaking reminder to the user when the actual water level around the vehicle reaches the warning position, reminding the user that the vehicle is at risk of water soaking and to move the vehicle as soon as possible, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle, protecting the personal safety and property safety of the user, improving the intelligence level of the vehicle, improving the user's usage experience, and improving user satisfaction.

[0092] Optionally, in some embodiments, before sending a water immersion prompt to the user, it also includes: obtaining the actual ground height of the vehicle; determining a preset alarm threshold based on the actual ground height to determine whether the actual wading depth is greater than the preset alarm threshold.

[0093] It is understood that, in general, the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle is between 110 mm and 150 mm. Specifically, the minimum ground clearance of an SUV is generally between 200 mm and 250 mm; the minimum ground clearance of a sports car is generally below 100 mm, excluding the lowest point and the supporting plane of the stationary wheels; the minimum ground clearance of an off-road vehicle is generally between 210 mm and 370 mm, and the minimum ground clearance of a passenger car is generally between 220 mm and 370 mm. The warning positions set after different models or load-bearing are different. The specific setting method can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0094] For example, if vehicle A is a general car and vehicle B is an SUV, the warning position of vehicle A is lower than the warning position of vehicle B. The specific setting method can be set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0095] The present application can determine the actual ground height of a vehicle according to different vehicle models or loads, and determine the warning position of the vehicle when it is flooded according to the actual ground height of the vehicle, thereby informing the user of the risk of the vehicle being flooded in advance, protecting the user's property safety, further improving the accuracy of vehicle warnings, and ensuring the user's usage experience.

[0096] Optionally, in some embodiments, the actual wading depth of the vehicle is determined based on the actual water level height and the current vehicle body image, including: comparing the current vehicle body image with a preset vehicle body image to determine the bending starting point on the current vehicle body image, and obtaining the current water level depth of the vehicle based on the current position of the bending starting point; determining the actual wading depth based on the actual water level height and the current water level depth.

[0097] It can be understood that, for example, after the vehicle body image is captured by a camera, the body imaging elements in the body image captured by the camera are further analyzed to obtain the actual wading depth of the vehicle by comparing the before and after imaging effects, that is, the body image is compared with the preset body image to obtain the actual wading depth of the vehicle.

[0098] Specifically, the vehicle body image is analyzed in real time through the camera installed on the vehicle, and the real-time body image is compared with the preset body image for image processing data analysis, so as to determine the actual wading depth of the vehicle through real-time comparison of picture differences and fault tolerance interval judgment.

[0099] Among them, in one embodiment of the present application, the vehicle body image is compared with a preset vehicle body image to obtain the actual wading depth of the vehicle according to the comparison result, further including: comparing the vehicle body image with the preset vehicle body image to determine the bending starting point on the vehicle body image; obtaining the actual wading depth of the vehicle according to the current position of the bending starting point.

[0100] The following is an example of the principle of obtaining the wading depth of the vehicle in the embodiment.

[0101] First, the bending starting point on the vehicle body image is described in detail as follows:

[0102] If an object and an instrument such as a camera or a probe are in the same medium, the imaging conforms to the imaging principle of a convex lens, and the image of the object is in a reduced or magnified relationship with the object.

[0103] However, when part of an object and instruments such as a camera or probe are in the same medium, and the other part of the object is in another medium, combined with the imaging principle of convex lenses and the law of refraction, it is obtained that part of the image of the object is in a reduction or magnification relationship with the object, and the image of the other part of the object cannot overlap with the other part of the original object due to refraction, resulting in a bending starting point, which happens to be the common contact point, line or surface between the object and the two different media.

[0104] Therefore, the positional relationship between the bending starting point of the object and the common contact point, line or surface of the object and two different media is determined by calculation or pre-entry, so as to determine the specific spatial position of the common contact point, line or surface of the object and two different media, such as the distance from a certain plane, etc. The above embodiment is only one of the possible implementation methods, and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0105] Optionally, in some embodiments, it also includes: receiving a viewing instruction from a user; and based on the viewing instruction, sending the current vehicle body image to a preset terminal of the user.

[0106] It is understandable that after the user receives and checks the vehicle water damage reminder, he can continue to send viewing instructions to the vehicle to check the vehicle's current status, the environment around the vehicle, etc. The user can send viewing instructions in ways that are not limited to: mobile phone text messages, mobile phone APPs, official websites, etc. This application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0107] For example, when the water level reaches the warning level, the user will be reminded through text messages that the vehicle is at risk of being submerged in water and should move the vehicle as soon as possible. The user can then view the vehicle image through the mobile phone APP to determine whether he needs to go and move the vehicle.

[0108] The embodiment of the present application can remind the user through text messages or mobile phone APP that the vehicle is at risk of water immersion when the actual wading depth of the vehicle reaches the warning position, and ask the user to move the vehicle as soon as possible. At the same time, the user can also view the vehicle screen in real time to determine whether it is necessary to move the vehicle, thereby improving interactivity, improving the intelligence level of the vehicle, improving user satisfaction, and increasing user stickiness.

[0109] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the vehicle water soaking warning method of the embodiment of the present application is explained through an embodiment.

[0110] Step S1: Determine whether it is raining. If it is raining, proceed to step S2; if it is not raining, continue monitoring.

[0111] Step S2: Whether the duration of rainfall and the amount of rainfall are greater than the set value. If the duration of rainfall and the amount of rainfall are greater than the set value, check the height above the ground detected by the ultrasonic radar when the user leaves the vehicle and enter step S3; if it is not greater than the set value, continue monitoring. The size of the set value is set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0112] Step S3: The rain sensor detects whether it is raining. When the rain sensor detects that it starts to rain, the ultrasonic radar monitors the wading depth of the vehicle at regular intervals, and the surround camera collects images of the vehicle's surroundings.

[0113] Step S4: Whether the wading depth of the vehicle reaches the warning position. If the wading depth of the vehicle reaches the warning position, the user is reminded through a text message that the vehicle is at risk of being submerged in water and is requested to move the vehicle as soon as possible. After receiving the notification, the user can also view the vehicle image in real time through a mobile phone APP or other means to determine whether it is necessary to move the vehicle; otherwise, the ultrasonic radar continues to monitor the wading depth of the vehicle. The setting of the warning position can be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0114] Embodiment 1:

[0115] The embodiment of the present application can automatically identify weather information and rainfall levels through the vehicle weather. When the sensor detects rain, the ultrasonic radar monitors the wading depth of the vehicle at regular intervals, and the surround camera collects images of the vehicle's surroundings. When the wading depth of the vehicle reaches the warning position, the user is reminded that the vehicle is at risk of being soaked in water and needs to move the vehicle in time. After receiving the reminder, the user can view the vehicle image in real time through the mobile phone APP, and then determine whether it is necessary to move the vehicle.

[0116] In summary, the present application can determine the water-soaked warning position of vehicles according to different vehicle models when the rainfall is too heavy or the rainfall lasts for a long time, and determine the actual wading depth of the vehicle in real time. When the actual wading depth is greater than the warning position, a water-soaked reminder is sent to the user to remind the user to move the vehicle in time to avoid unnecessary property damage to the vehicle, effectively protect the user's property safety, improve the intelligence level of the vehicle, enhance the user's trust, improve the user's usage experience, and increase user stickiness.
