[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system has become a standard feature in vehicles. Normally, the EPB is engaged when the vehicle is normally turned off, abnormally turned off (such as during driving), or in the parking gear. Therefore, in the event of an ignition failure or abnormal engine shutdown, forcibly towing the vehicle due to the engaged EPB could cause vehicle malfunction and property damage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide an EPB control method, device, medium, controller, vehicle, and program product that enables the release of the vehicle's EPB in the event of abnormal vehicle stalling or ignition failure, allowing the vehicle to be towed.

[0005] It is determined that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and the vehicle's EPB controller is in a sleep state;

[0006] When the EPB switch of the vehicle performs a first designated action, the EPB controller is awakened;

[0007] When the EPB switch performs the second specified action, the EPB is released by the EPB controller.

[0008] Optionally, when the EPB of the determined vehicle is in a clamped state and the EPB controller of the determined vehicle is in a sleep state, the method further includes:

[0009] With the vehicle's ignition switch in the off position, the EPB controller controls the EPB to clamp.

[0010] If the ignition switch of the vehicle is not switched to the on position within a first set time range, the EPB controller of the vehicle is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0011] Optionally, the step of controlling the EPB to release via the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs the second specified action includes:

[0012] Within a second set time range, when the EPB switch performs a second specified action, the EPB controller controls the EPB to release.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0014] If the EPB switch does not perform the second specified action within the second set time range, the EPB controller is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0015] Optionally, the step of controlling the EPB to release via the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs the second specified action includes:

[0016] Wake up the BCM controller of the vehicle;

[0017] When the EPB switch performs the second specified action and the BCM controller receives the specified signal, the EPB controller controls the EPB to release.

[0018] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0019] When the EPB switch performs the third specified action, the EPB controller controls the EPB clamping.

[0020] The EPB controller is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0021] Optionally, the second specified action includes any one of the following actions:

[0022] The duration for which the EPB switch is pressed or released is greater than or equal to a third preset time;

[0023] The number of times the EPB switch is pressed or released consecutively is equal to the specified number of times.

[0024] Optionally, the designated signal includes one or more of the following: brake signal, seat belt insertion signal, gear position signal, and turn signal.

[0025] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an EPB control device is provided, comprising:

[0027] The first control module is used to wake up the EPB controller when the EPB switch of the vehicle performs a first specified action;

[0028] The second control module is used to control the EPB to release via the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs the second specified action.

[0029] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in any of the first aspects.

In the embodiments of this disclosure, these operations or steps may be performed serially; they may be performed in parallel; or a portion of these operations or steps may be performed.

[0052] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information. It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained. The disclosure will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0053] First, the application scenario of this disclosure is explained. Many vehicles are equipped with Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) systems. In the event of ignition malfunction or abnormal engine stalling, if the EPB is in a clamped state, the vehicle cannot be moved. Forcing movement may cause vehicle malfunction and corresponding property damage. Ignition malfunctions can include: ignition switch malfunction, ignition circuit malfunction, battery malfunction, etc. Abnormal engine stalling can include: mechanical failure, electrical failure, or battery failure causing the vehicle to stall abnormally while driving.

[0054] To address the aforementioned issues, better handle vehicle ignition failures, and enable vehicle towing in any state with the engine off, thus preventing the vehicle from being unable to be repaired or towed due to EPB clamping after the engine is off, this disclosure provides an EPB control method that allows the EPB to be released when the vehicle cannot be started, thereby enabling vehicle towing with the engine off.

[0055] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides an EPB control method, which includes the following steps:

[0056] In step S11, it is determined that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and the vehicle's EPB controller is in a sleep state.

[0057] For example, the vehicle's EPB controller is an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that controls the clamping or releasing of the vehicle's EPB. When the vehicle's ignition switch is in the off position, each ECU typically enters a sleep mode, or enters a sleep mode within a specified time range. Therefore, if a vehicle cannot move due to EPB clamping caused by ignition malfunction or abnormal engine stall, and to enable the vehicle's towing function, it is necessary to first determine whether the vehicle's EPB controller is in a wake-up state. If the EPB controller is in a sleep state, it needs to be woken up first. For example, before waking up the EPB controller, the vehicle's EPB status and the EPB controller's status can be determined through other controllers that can communicate with the EPB controller, such as the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), Body Control Module (BCM), and Telematics Box (TBOX), as well as the EPB controller itself.

[0058] In step S12, the EPB controller is woken up when the EPB switch of the vehicle performs the first specified action.

[0059] For example, when it is determined that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and the EPB controller is in a dormant state, the vehicle user can perform a first designated action through the vehicle's EPB switch to wake up the EPB controller. This disclosure does not limit the first designated action; for example, the first designated action can be lifting or pressing the EPB switch, pressing the EPB switch twice consecutively, or pressing the EPB switch for 3 seconds, etc.

[0060] In step S13, when the EPB switch performs the second specified action, the EPB is released by the EPB controller.

[0061] Optionally, the second designated action includes any one of the following actions:

[0062] The duration for which the EPB switch is pressed or released is greater than or equal to the third preset time;

[0063] The number of times the EPB switch is pressed or released consecutively is equal to the specified number of times.

[0064] For example, when the EPB controller is in an awake state, and the user of the vehicle performs a second specified action via the EPB switch, the EPB controller can control the release of the vehicle's EPB, thereby enabling the vehicle to be towed. The second specified action can be a duration of pressing or releasing the EPB switch greater than or equal to a third preset time. This disclosure does not limit the magnitude of the third preset time; for example, the third preset time can be 10 seconds. The second specified action can also be a number of consecutive presses or releases of the EPB switch equal to a specified number. This disclosure does not limit the magnitude of the specified number; for example, the specified number can be 2 times. It is understood that the first and second specified actions described above are different specified actions.

[0065] In the above technical solution, this disclosure provides an EPB control method, which includes: determining that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and the vehicle's EPB controller is in a dormant state; waking up the EPB controller when the vehicle's EPB switch performs a first specified action; and controlling the EPB to release the EPB through the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs a second specified action. This allows the vehicle's EPB to be released by controlling the EPB switch while the vehicle is off, thus achieving the purpose of towing the vehicle and avoiding vehicle malfunctions and property damage caused by towing the vehicle while the EPB is clamped.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, step S11 includes the following steps:

[0067] In step S111, when the ignition switch of the vehicle is in the off position, the EPB controller controls the EPB to clamp.

[0068] For example, when the vehicle's ignition switch is in the off position, the vehicle is parked. To prevent the vehicle from rolling away, the vehicle's EPB controller controls the EPB clamping mechanism. During vehicle operation, the vehicle may stall due to mechanical or electrical malfunctions, causing the ignition switch to be in the off position again. In this case, the EPB clamping mechanism still needs to be controlled by the vehicle's EPB controller. In summary, when the vehicle's ignition switch is in the off position, the EPB clamping mechanism, controlled by the EPB controller, can prevent the vehicle from rolling away.

[0069] In step S112, if the ignition switch of the vehicle is not switched to the on position within a first set time range, the EPB controller of the vehicle is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0070] For example, a vehicle user might restart the engine within a short period after the vehicle has abnormally stalled, thereby waking up the EPB controller. To avoid frequent switching of the EPB controller state within a short period, after the vehicle's EPB is clamped, if the vehicle's ignition switch is not switched to the ON position within a first preset time range, the vehicle's EPB controller can be controlled to enter a sleep state. This disclosure does not limit the size of the first preset time range; for example, the first preset time range can be 5 minutes.

[0071] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0072] In step S131, when the EPB switch performs the second specified action within the second set time range, the EPB is released by the EPB controller.

[0073] For example, after the EPB controller is woken up by the first specified action, in order to avoid the EPB controller being in a wake-up state for a long time, the EPB controller can be controlled to release the EPB when the EPB switch performs the second specified action within a second set time range after the EPB controller is woken up. This disclosure does not limit the size of the second set time range. For example, the second set time range can be 5 minutes.

[0074] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0075] In step S132, if the EPB switch does not perform the second specified action within the second set time range, the EPB controller is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0076] For example, after the EPB controller is woken up, if the vehicle's EPB switch does not perform the second specified action for a long period of time, the EPB controller may remain in the wake-up state for a long time, thereby consuming the vehicle's battery power. In order to avoid wasting the vehicle's battery power, if the EPB switch does not perform the second specified action within the second set time range, the EPB controller can be controlled to enter the sleep state.

[0077] Figure 5This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0078] In step S133, the vehicle's BCM controller is woken up.

[0079] For example, the BCM controller (Body Control Module) is an important component of the vehicle's electronic system. It can control the vehicle's doors, windows, rearview mirrors, lights, windshield wipers, etc. The BCM controller can communicate with other ECUs and obtain control signals from various components in the vehicle, such as brake signals and gear position indicator lights, to achieve more complex control and functions. If the BCM controller is in a sleep state before obtaining control signals, it can be woken up first.

[0080] In step S134, when the EPB switch performs the second specified action and the BCM controller receives the specified signal, the EPB is released by the EPB controller.

[0081] Optionally, the designated signal includes one or more of the following: brake signal, seat belt insertion signal, gear position signal, and turn signal.

[0082] For example, to prevent the EPB switch from accidentally releasing when the ignition switch is in the off position, and to prevent accidental activation by the user or other objects in the vehicle from triggering the second specified action, which could cause the vehicle to roll away, the EPB controller can release the EPB switch. Therefore, when the EPB switch performs the second specified action, a specified controller signal can be simultaneously obtained from the vehicle's BCM controller. When the EPB switch performs the second specified action and the BCM controller obtains the specified signal, the EPB controller can release the EPB switch, thus preventing accidental activation by the user or other objects in the vehicle from causing the EPB to release. This specified signal can include one or more of the following: a brake signal, a seatbelt insertion signal, a gear position signal, and a turn signal.

[0083] For example, if the second specified action is pressing the EPB switch for a duration greater than 5 seconds, and the user's water cup is on the EPB switch for more than 5 seconds, the EPB controller will release the EPB, potentially causing the vehicle to roll away. Therefore, to avoid false triggering of the second specified action, after waking up the EPB controller, the vehicle's BCM controller can be activated. When the EPB switch performs the second specified action and the BCM controller receives the specified signal, the EPB controller can release the EPB. The second specified action can be pressing the second switch for a duration greater than 5 seconds, and the specified signal can be a brake signal. It is understood that the BCM controller can receive the brake signal when the vehicle user presses the brake pedal.

[0084] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an EPB control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the method also includes the following steps:

[0085] In step S14, when the EPB switch performs the third specified action, the EPB controller controls the EPB clamping.

[0086] In step S15, the EPB controller is controlled to enter a sleep state.

[0087] For example, after the vehicle has been towed, it may still need to be parked. To prevent the vehicle from rolling away, the EPB controller can be used to control the EPB clamping when the EPB switch performs the third specified action, and then control the EPB controller to enter a sleep state after the EPB is clamped. This disclosure does not limit the third specified action. For example, the third specified action can be pressing the EPB switch twice consecutively. In addition, the third specified action can be the same as or different from the first specified action, and the third specified action can be the same as or different from the second specified action.

[0088] In the above technical solution, this disclosure provides an EPB control method, which includes: determining that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and the vehicle's EPB controller is in a dormant state; waking up the EPB controller when the vehicle's EPB switch performs a first specified action; and controlling the EPB to release the EPB through the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs a second specified action. This allows the vehicle's EPB to be released by controlling the EPB switch while the vehicle is off, thus achieving the purpose of towing the vehicle and avoiding vehicle malfunctions and property damage caused by towing the vehicle while the EPB is clamped.

[0090] The determining module 710 is used to determine that the vehicle's EPB is in a clamped state and that the vehicle's EPB controller is in a sleep state.

[0091] The first control module 720 is used to wake up the EPB controller when the EPB switch of the vehicle performs a first specified action;

[0092] The second control module 730 is used to control the EPB to release via the EPB controller when the EPB switch performs the second specified action.

[0093] Optionally, the determining module 710 is used for:

[0094] With the ignition switch of the vehicle in the off position, the EPB is clamped by the EPB controller.

[0095] If the ignition switch of the vehicle is not switched to the on position within a first set time range, the EPB controller controlling the vehicle will enter a sleep state.

[0096] Optionally, the second control module 730 is used to control the EPB to release when the EPB switch performs a second specified action within a second set time range, via the EPB controller.

[0097] Optionally, the second control module 730 is further configured to control the EPB controller to enter a sleep state when the EPB switch does not perform the second specified action within the second set time range.
