[0056] It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used in the specification and the appended claims, means any one or more of the associated listed items, as well as all possible combinations of the items.

[0057] As used in the specification and the appended claims, the term "if' can be interpreted as meaning "when" or "upon" or "in response to a determination" or "in response to a detection" depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if determined" or "if detected [the described condition or event]" can be interpreted to mean "upon a determination" or "in response to a determination" or "upon a detection" or "in response to a detection" of [the described condition or event] depending on the context.

[0058] In addition, in the description of the specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0059] Reference within the specification of this application to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in some embodiments" in various places within specified

[0060] When a user parks in a parking lot, the user needs to pay for parking fees. One method is that the user pays for parking fees by scanning a code or paying in cash at an exit of the parking lot. Another method is that the user pays for parking fees through a smart parking platform.

[0061] An existing smart parking platform generally needs to be associated with a parking lot, and the user needs to upload vehicle information, for example, a license plate number, when paying for parking fees, so as to complete payment. The existing smart parking platform cannot realize full-automatic payment of parking fees.

[0062] In addition, the user often pays for parking fees when leaving the parking lot, which results in a situation of paying for parking fees at multiple card points. For example, for a parking lot that charges by hours, when the user pays for parking fees, the parking duration is 3 hours and 2 minutes, and the user needs to pay for 4 hours of parking fees, which brings inconvenience to the user.

[0063] Based on the above problems, the application provides a parking fee payment method. When a vehicle is in a parking lot, the optimal payment time for the user to pay for parking fees can be automatically calculated according to a charging rule of the parking lot and a schedule of the user, so as to reduce the situation of paying for parking fees at multiple card points and save fees for the user. In addition, after the optimal payment time is calculated, the total parking fee of the vehicle is paid when the optimal payment time is reached, so as to complete automatic payment of parking fees and bring convenience to the user.

[0064] The parking fee payment method of the embodiment of the application is described in detail below. The method of the application can be executed in a terminal device of a user and a vehicle. The terminal device can be a mobile phone or a tablet computer. In order to facilitate description, the method of the application is described as being executed in the vehicle.

[0065] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of the parking fee payment method provided by the application is shown. Refer to Figure 1 The method is described in detail as follows.

[0066] S101, in a case where a vehicle enters a parking lot, obtaining parking information of the vehicle, the parking information including a charging rule of the parking lot.

[0067] In this embodiment, whether to enter the parking lot is identified by an image captured by a vehicle-mounted camera. For example, the vehicle-mounted camera captures a first image. If there is an entrance barrier of the parking lot in the first image and the entrance barrier has an opening action, it is determined that the vehicle enters the parking lot. Or, if there is a sign of the parking lot in the first image, it is determined that the vehicle enters the parking lot.

[0068] A second image of the parking lot is captured by the vehicle-mounted camera, and parking information is obtained by identifying the second image. The parking information includes charging rules of the parking lot, parking positions, etc.

[0069] The parking position can be obtained by identifying the parking space number in the image.

[0070] The charging rules can include charging units, free exit times, parking lot charging codes, parking preferential policies, etc. The charging units can be hourly charging or minute-based charging, etc. The free exit time represents the free parking duration of the vehicle after payment, for example, the user can be free for 15 minutes after paying the parking fee, that is, the user will not be charged again if he leaves the parking lot within 15 minutes after paying the parking fee. The parking lot charging code is used to collect the parking fee, and the parking charging code can be a charging two-dimensional code, etc. The parking preferential policy can include free parking duration and night parking preferential policy, etc., for example, the free parking duration can be free of parking fee within half an hour.

[0071] After the vehicle enters the parking lot, the time of entering the parking lot of the vehicle is recorded, which can be recorded in the parking information.

[0072] S102, obtain the schedule of the user.

[0073] In this embodiment, the schedule of the user can be set in the vehicle by the user in advance, and can also be sent to the vehicle by the user through an electronic device (for example, a mobile phone).

[0074] The schedule can include the duration that the user plans to stay here, or the time that the user is expected to leave, etc.

[0075] S103, determine the optimal payment time of the user to pay the parking fee according to the charging rules and the schedule.

[0076] In this embodiment, the planned parking duration of the user is determined according to the schedule. According to the planned parking duration of the user and the charging rules, it is determined whether the parking fee needs to be paid in advance before the user leaves to reduce the parking fee, and then the optimal payment time of the parking fee is obtained.

[0077] Specifically, the method of determining whether to pay the parking fee in advance includes:

[0078] The number of charging units covered by the planned parking duration is calculated, for example, if the planned parking duration is 5 hours, 5 charging units are covered, and if the planned parking duration is 5 hours and 20 minutes, 6 charging units are covered. If the free departure time is considered, the number of charging units can be reduced by 1, so the parking fee can be paid in advance; if the free departure time is considered, the number of charging units remains unchanged, so the parking fee does not need to be paid in advance.

[0079] S104, after reaching the optimal payment time, paying the total parking fee of the vehicle.

[0080] In this embodiment, after determining the optimal payment time, a payment inquiry instruction is sent to the electronic device of the user before reaching the optimal payment time, and the payment inquiry instruction is used to inquire whether the user can automatically pay the parking fee at the optimal payment time. If the payment instruction of the user is received, after reaching the optimal payment time, the total parking fee of the vehicle is paid.

[0081] As an example, if the optimal payment time is 10:40, the payment inquiry instruction is sent to the user at 10:30.

[0082] In this embodiment, the calculation method of the total parking fee can include: the vehicle automatically determines the actual parking duration according to the entry time of the vehicle and the optimal payment time; and the vehicle automatically calculates the total parking fee according to the actual parking duration and the charging rules.

[0083] In another embodiment, when the vehicle needs to pay the total parking fee, the vehicle sends a payment instruction to the server, and the payment instruction includes the entry time and the optimal payment time. After receiving the payment instruction, the server determines the actual parking duration according to the entry time and the optimal payment time of the vehicle; and automatically calculates the total parking fee according to the actual parking duration and the charging rules. The server sends the total parking fee to the vehicle. The vehicle pays the total parking fee.

[0084] In this application, when the vehicle is in the parking lot, the optimal payment time for paying the parking fee can be automatically calculated according to the charging rules of the parking lot and the schedule of the user, after reaching the optimal payment time, the total parking fee that the vehicle needs to pay is calculated according to the entry time of the vehicle, and the total parking fee is automatically paid. Compared with the current method of manually paying the parking fee by the user, the user does not need to manually pay the parking fee during parking, and the optimal payment time for paying the parking fee can be determined according to the schedule of the user, the parking fee is automatically paid after reaching the optimal payment time, and the user does not need to manually pay, which brings convenience to the user. In addition, the optimal payment time for the user to pay the parking fee can be determined according to the charging rules and the schedule, which avoids the situation of paying more money at the card point, and saves the parking fee for the user.

[0085] In a possible implementation, to help the user reduce parking fees and avoid overpayment at a card point, the application can also automatically determine an optimal payment time. Specifically, the amount of parking fees depends on the parking duration. If the parking duration is long, the parking fees are high; if the parking duration is short, the parking fees are low. Therefore, to reduce the parking fees as much as possible, it is crucial to reasonably plan the parking duration. To determine the optimal payment time, it is crucial to determine the optimal parking duration. Once the optimal parking duration is determined, the optimal payment time can be obtained naturally. Therefore, the application can first determine the optimal parking duration according to the charging rules and the schedule, and then determine the optimal payment time according to the optimal parking duration. The method for determining the optimal payment time is described below with reference to FIG. 10. Figure 2

[0086] S1031, determining a planned parking duration of the vehicle according to the schedule.

[0087] In this embodiment, if the schedule includes a planned departure time set by the user, the planned parking duration can be obtained by subtracting the entry time of the vehicle from the planned departure time.

[0088] If the schedule includes a parking duration set by the user, the planned parking duration can be directly obtained according to the schedule.

[0089] S1032, determining an optimal parking duration of the vehicle according to the charging unit, the free departure time, and the planned parking duration.

[0090] In this embodiment, the charging unit, the free departure time, and the planned parking duration are input into a neural network model to obtain the optimal parking duration.

[0091] In another embodiment, the optimal parking duration can also be determined by calculating the parking fees of different parking durations. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the method for determining the optimal parking duration can further include: Figure 3

[0092] S201, determining a first estimated cost that needs to be generated if the parking fees are paid according to the planned parking duration according to the charging unit and the planned parking duration.

[0093] For example, if the charging unit is an hour and the parking fee per hour is 3 yuan, the parking fee is charged according to one hour if the parking duration is less than one hour. If the planned parking duration of the user is 3 hours and 5 minutes, the first estimated cost is 4*3=12 yuan.

[0094] S202, obtaining a corrected parking duration by subtracting the free departure time from the planned parking duration.

[0095] ​​In the embodiment, the free exit time can be set as required.

[0096] For example, if the free exit time is 15 minutes and the planned parking duration is 3 hours and 5 minutes, the corrected parking duration is 3 hours and 5 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 hours and 50 minutes.

[0097] S203, determining a second estimated fee that needs to be generated if the parking fee is paid according to the corrected parking duration based on the charging unit and the corrected parking duration.

[0098] For example, if the charging unit is hour and the parking fee is 3 yuan per hour, the parking fee for less than one hour is charged as one hour. If the corrected parking duration of the user is 2 hours and 50 minutes, the first estimated fee is 3 x 3 = 9 yuan.

[0099] S204, determining the optimal parking duration of the vehicle according to the corrected parking duration if the second estimated fee is less than the first estimated fee.

[0100] In the embodiment, if the second estimated fee is less than the first estimated fee, it means that the parking fee is saved by paying in advance, and the optimal parking duration can be determined according to the corrected parking duration.

[0101] In one implementation, the corrected parking duration is determined as the optimal parking duration of the vehicle. For example, if the corrected parking duration is 2 hours and 50 minutes, the optimal parking duration is determined as 2 hours and 50 minutes.

[0102] S205, determining the planned parking duration as the optimal parking duration of the vehicle if the second estimated fee is equal to the first estimated fee.

[0103] In the embodiment, if the second estimated fee is equal to the first estimated fee, it means that the parking fee cannot be saved by paying in advance, and the vehicle can be parked according to the planned parking duration.

[0104] For example, if the charging unit is hour and the parking fee is 3 yuan per hour, the parking fee for less than one hour is charged as one hour. If the planned parking duration of the user is 3 hours and 20 minutes, the first estimated fee is 4 x 3 = 12 yuan. If the free exit time is 15 minutes, the corrected parking duration is 3 hours and 20 minutes - 15 minutes = 3 hours and 5 minutes, and the second estimated fee is 4 x 3 = 12 yuan. The second estimated fee is equal to the first estimated fee.

[0105] In this embodiment, by comparing the fee to be paid according to the planned parking duration and the fee to be paid considering the free exit time, it is determined whether the parking fee can be saved if paid in advance, and the optimal parking duration is considered from the point of view of saving the parking fee, so that the optimal parking duration is more in line with the purpose of optimal payment.

[0106] In step S1033, the sum of the optimal parking duration and the entry time is calculated to obtain the optimal payment time of the user for paying the parking fee.

[0107] In this embodiment, the optimal parking duration is the parking duration for which the parking fee needs to be paid, and the optimal payment time for paying the parking fee can be obtained by adding the entry time to the optimal parking duration.

[0108] For example, if the entry time is 8:30 and the optimal parking duration is 2 hours and 20 minutes, the optimal payment time is 8:30 + 2 hours and 20 minutes = 10:50.

[0109] In this application, by considering the free exit time, the optimal parking duration is determined, and then the optimal payment time of the parking fee is determined according to the optimal parking duration and the entry time, so that the optimal payment time can be more in line with the current parking lot rules, avoiding the situation of multiple payment at the card point, planning a better payment time for the user, and achieving the purpose of saving the parking fee.

[0110] The above has given the method of directly determining the modified parking duration as the optimal parking duration of the vehicle when determining the optimal parking duration according to the modified parking duration. However, since the determined modified parking duration may not be full of the charging unit, which may cause the user's parking duration to be shortened. In order to make the determined optimal parking duration the longest, the duration of the charging unit can also be considered to make the determined optimal parking duration as long as the duration of the charging unit to achieve the purpose of the longest parking duration. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4 Another method of determining the optimal parking duration of the vehicle according to the modified parking duration in step S204 is introduced as follows.

[0111] In step S2041, the multiple relationship between the modified parking duration and the charging unit is determined.

[0112] In this embodiment, the modified parking duration is divided by the charging unit to obtain the multiple relationship between the modified parking duration and the charging unit.

[0113] For example, if the modified parking duration is 3 hours and 5 minutes, and the charging unit is 1 hour, then the multiple relationship between the modified parking duration and the charging unit is 185 ÷ 60 = 3.08 times.

[0114] S2042, if the modified parking time length is an integer multiple of the charging unit, the modified parking time length is determined as the optimal parking time length of the vehicle.

[0115] In this embodiment, if the modified parking time length is an integer multiple of the charging unit, it means that the modified parking time length is exactly full of the charging unit, and if the modified parking time length is increased, the parking fee will be increased, therefore, the modified parking time length can be determined as the optimal parking time length of the vehicle, which can ensure the longest parking time length and the least parking fee.

[0116] For example, if the modified parking time length is 3 hours and the charging unit is 1 hour, the multiple relationship between the modified parking time length and the charging unit is 180 ÷ 60 = 3 times.

[0117] S2043, if the modified parking time length is not an integer multiple of the charging unit, the modified parking time length is increased to obtain a target parking time length, the target parking time length is an integer multiple of the charging unit, the target parking time length is less than the planned parking time length, and the target parking time length is determined as the optimal parking time length of the vehicle.

[0118] In this embodiment, if the modified parking time length is not an integer multiple of the charging unit, it means that the modified parking time length is not full of the charging unit, and if the modified parking time length is increased to be full of the charging unit, the parking fee will not be increased, therefore, the modified parking time length can be increased to be full of the charging unit, that is, the modified parking time length is rounded up, which can ensure the longest parking time length and the least parking fee.

[0119] For example, if the modified parking time length is 3 hours and 50 minutes and the charging unit is 1 hour, the multiple relationship between the modified parking time length and the charging unit is 185 ÷ 60 = 4.6 times. If the modified parking time length is increased by 10 minutes, the modified parking time length is exactly an integer multiple of the charging unit, and the parking fee will not be increased, therefore, the modified parking time length can be increased to 4 hours.

[0120] In this application, by calculating the multiple relationship between the modified parking time length and the charging unit, it can be determined whether the modified parking time length is full of the charging time length, and further whether the modified parking time length needs to be increased. If the modified parking time length is an integer multiple of the charging unit, it means that the modified parking time length is the maximum value, and the modified parking time length can be directly determined as the optimal parking time length. If the modified time length is not an integer multiple of the charging unit, it means that the modified parking time length is not the maximum value, and the modified parking time length can be increased to the maximum value to ensure the longest parking time length and to gain more parking time for the user.

[0121] In a possible implementation, since the parking lot is relatively large and the number of parking spaces is relatively large, the user may need to spend a lot of time searching for the parking position of the vehicle, which causes the user to be unable to leave the parking lot within the free departure time. Therefore, after paying the parking fee, in order to enable the user to leave the parking lot as soon as possible within the free departure time, a route to the parking position can be planned for the user, and the user can reach the parking position as soon as possible according to the planned route. Thus, as shown in the method, the method can further include: Figure 5

[0122] S301, if the user is not in the vehicle after paying the total parking fee, obtaining the current position of the user.

[0123] In this embodiment, whether the user is in the vehicle can be determined by collecting an image in the vehicle. Alternatively, whether the user is in the vehicle can be determined by locating an electronic device of the user.

[0124] The current position of the user can be determined by detecting the position of an electronic device associated with the vehicle used by the user.

[0125] S302, planning a moving route of the user to the parking position according to the current position of the user and the parking position of the vehicle.

[0126] In this embodiment, the road states of each road that can be walked by the user to the parking position are obtained, and the road states include the number of personnel on the road, the number of vehicles, congestion, and the like. The moving route is planned according to the road states, so as to enable the user to reach the parking position as soon as possible. The road states can be obtained from a server.

[0127] S303, displaying the moving route to the user, and the moving route is used to indicate the user to walk to the parking position according to the moving route.

[0128] In this embodiment, the moving route is sent to the electronic device of the user, and the moving route is displayed to the user by the electronic device.

[0129] In this embodiment, after the user reaches the parking position, in order to enable the user to leave the parking lot as soon as possible, a departure route of the vehicle can be planned according to the parking position and the exit position of the parking lot. The departure route is displayed, so that the user can drive the vehicle to leave the parking lot according to the departure route.

[0130] Specifically, the planning method of the departure route includes: obtaining a parking lot map and road states of each road in the parking lot, and the road states include the number of vehicles on the road, congestion, and the distance to the exit. The departure route is planned according to the road states, so as to enable the vehicle to leave the parking lot as soon as possible.

[0131] ​In the present application, after paying the parking fee, a route to the parking position is planned for the user, so as to ensure that the user reaches the parking position as soon as possible, and then ensures that the user drives away from the parking lot within the free departure time, so as to avoid the situation that the vehicle leaves the parking lot after the free departure time due to the user's failure to find the position of the vehicle, and the parking fee is increased.

[0132] In a possible implementation, since after paying the parking fee, if the user does not leave the parking lot within the free departure time, the parking fee will continue to be generated. In order to avoid additional parking fees after paying the parking fee, after determining that the user cannot drive the vehicle to leave the parking lot within the free departure time, an automatic driving function can be started to make the vehicle automatically drive out of the parking lot. Therefore, as shown in Figure 6 after paying the parking fee, the method of the present application can further include:

[0133] S401, according to the parking position of the vehicle, predicting a total time length required for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot from the parking position.

[0134] In the present embodiment, the exit position of the parking lot is obtained. A driving route of the vehicle from the parking position to the exit position is planned. According to the planned driving route and the road state of the road through which the driving route passes, a predicted time length required for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot from the parking position is predicted, and the predicted time length is determined as the total time length required for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot from the parking position; or the predicted time length is added by a preset value to obtain the total time length required for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot from the parking position, so as to reserve sufficient time to ensure that the vehicle can leave the parking lot within the free departure time.

[0135] S402, according to the free departure time, the total time length and the optimal payment time, obtaining the latest time of the user to arrive at the parking position.

[0136] In the present embodiment, the sum of the optimal payment time and the free departure time is calculated to obtain the cut-off time of the vehicle to leave the parking lot. The cut-off time is subtracted by the total time length to obtain the latest time of the user to arrive at the parking position.

[0137] S403, if it is determined that the user cannot arrive at the parking position at the latest time, controlling the vehicle to automatically drive to a preset place outside the parking lot.

[0138] In the present embodiment, the user is sent the latest time of the user to arrive at the parking position, and the latest time is used to inquire whether the user can arrive at the parking position at the latest time. If the first information of the user is received, it is determined that the user cannot arrive at the parking position at the latest time; if the second information is received, it is determined that the user can arrive at the parking position at the latest time.

[0139] In another embodiment, the current location of the user is monitored, and a predicted time for the user to reach the parking location is determined according to the current location of the user. If the predicted time is after the latest time, it is determined that the user cannot reach the parking location at the latest time; if the predicted time is before the latest time, it is determined that the user can reach the parking location at the latest time.

[0140] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the user cannot reach the parking location at the latest time, first inquiry information is sent to the user, and the first inquiry information is used to inquire whether the user can start automatic driving to make the vehicle automatically drive out of the parking lot to ensure that the vehicle leaves the parking lot within the free exit time and avoid additional charges.

[0141] If the first instruction sent by the electronic device of the user is received, it is determined that automatic driving can be started to make the vehicle automatically drive out of the parking lot.

[0142] The preset location can be pre-set for the user, or the preset location is included in the first instruction.

[0143] Alternatively, the vehicle sends second inquiry information to the electronic device of the user, and the second inquiry information is used to instruct the user to set a preset location to which the vehicle will go after leaving the parking lot. If the second instruction sent by the electronic device of the user is received, the preset location is obtained by analyzing the second instruction.

[0144] In this embodiment, after the vehicle automatically drives to the preset location, the vehicle plans an indication route for the user to reach the preset location according to the current location of the user and the location of the preset location. The vehicle sends the indication route to the electronic device of the user, so that the user can reach the preset location according to the indication route.

[0145] In this application, the total duration for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot from the parking location is predicted according to the parking location of the vehicle, and then the latest time for the user to reach the parking location is determined according to the free exit time, the optimal payment time and the total duration; when it is determined that the user cannot reach the parking location at the latest time, the vehicle is controlled to automatically drive out of the parking lot, so that the vehicle leaves the parking lot within the free exit time and avoids additional parking fees after paying the parking fees.

[0146] In a possible implementation, in order to avoid additional parking fees after paying the parking fees, the method of the application can further include:

[0147] According to the current location of the user and the parking location of the vehicle, a first duration for the user to reach the parking location is estimated. According to the parking location and the exit location of the parking lot, a second duration for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot is estimated. The sum of the first duration and the second duration is calculated to obtain an estimated duration for the vehicle to drive out of the parking lot.

[0148] If the estimated duration is greater than or equal to the free departure time, it is determined that the vehicle cannot leave the parking lot within the free departure time, a second inquiry instruction can be sent to the user, the second inquiry instruction is used to prompt the user that the vehicle cannot leave the parking lot within the free departure time, and inquire whether the user can start the automatic driving to make the vehicle automatically drive out of the parking lot. If a consent instruction is received, the vehicle is controlled to automatically drive to a preset location outside the parking lot. If a refusal instruction is received, the user is continued to wait to arrive at the vehicle position.

[0149] If the estimated duration is less than the free departure time, it is determined that the vehicle can leave the parking lot within the free departure time, and the user is waited to arrive at the parking position.

[0150] In a possible implementation, in order to improve the comfort of the user using the vehicle, the vehicle can be prepared in advance before the user uses the vehicle, for example, the air conditioner is turned on, the air purification device is turned on, the atmosphere lamp is turned on, etc., to improve the use comfort of the user. Therefore, the above method can further include:

[0151] S501, when it is determined that the user needs to use the vehicle at a first time, obtaining vehicle interior environment information and vehicle exterior environment information at a second time.

[0152] In this embodiment, the second time is a time before the first time. The second time and the second time can be different by a preset time. The preset time can be set as needed, for example, the preset time can be 10 minutes or 5 minutes, etc.

[0153] As an example, if the first time is 3:10, the second time can be 3:05.

[0154] In this embodiment, the user time of the user can be determined according to the schedule of the user.

[0155] In this embodiment, the vehicle interior environment information and the vehicle exterior environment information are collected by using the vehicle-mounted sensor.

[0156] The vehicle interior environment information can include vehicle interior temperature, vehicle interior humidity, vehicle interior pollutant concentration, etc. The vehicle exterior environment information can include vehicle exterior temperature, vehicle exterior humidity, brightness information, and vehicle exterior pollutant concentration, etc.

[0157] S502, controlling a target device in the vehicle to operate according to the vehicle interior environment information and the vehicle exterior environment information.

[0158] In this embodiment, the target device can include an air conditioner, an atmosphere lamp, and an air purification device, etc.

[0159] In this embodiment, the target device is controlled to operate according to the historical vehicle use habit of the user, the vehicle interior environment information, and the vehicle exterior environment information.

[0160] In this embodiment, the historical driving habits and brightness information of the user are acquired to determine the control strategy of the ambient light. For example, if the historical driving habits of the user are to turn off the ambient light during the day, the control strategy of the ambient light is to prohibit starting the ambient light. If it is at night, and the historical driving habits of the user are to turn on the ambient light, and the brightness of the ambient light is the first brightness, it is determined that the control strategy of the ambient light is to turn on the ambient light to the first brightness.

[0161] If the temperature in the vehicle is greater than the preset temperature, it is determined that the control strategy of the air conditioner is to turn on the cooling, and the air conditioner is set to the first temperature, and the air volume is set to the first air volume.

[0162] If the concentration of pollutants in the vehicle is greater than the preset concentration, the control strategy of the air purification device is determined to turn on the air purification function, etc.

[0163] In this application, the vehicle is prepared in advance before the user drives, the operation strategy of the target device is determined according to the indoor and outdoor environmental information, and the target device is controlled to operate, so that the user feels more comfortable when driving, and the comfort of the user driving is improved.

[0164] In a possible implementation, the above method can be implemented in an Agent of the vehicle machine. The Agent refers to an artificial intelligence program that performs user tasks.

[0165] Specifically, the Agent has the ability to identify and mine the potential intentions of the user. Even if the user's intention is vague, the Agent can mine the user's intention and execute the user's intention. For example, after the user's electronic device sends information to the vehicle to automatically pay for parking fees, the Agent can analyze the "information for automatically paying for parking fees" to determine that the user's intention is "to automatically pay for parking fees". After the user's electronic device sends information to the vehicle to automatically leave, the Agent can analyze the "information for automatically leaving" to determine that the user's intention is "to automatically drive away from the parking lot when the user cannot drive away in time". After the user's electronic device sends information to the vehicle that it is a little hot, the Agent can analyze the "information that it is a little hot" to determine that the user's intention is "to turn on the air conditioner".

[0166] The Agent has the ability to autonomously call tools. For example, when it is determined that the parking fees need to be automatically paid, the Agent can call the payment tool to pay the parking fees. When it is determined that the parking lot needs to be automatically driven away, the Agent can call the automatic driving tool to leave the parking lot. When it is determined that the route needs to be planned for the user, the Agent can call the route planning tool to plan the driving route for the user.

[0167] The agent has the ability to determine the current environment state of the vehicle according to the environment data. For example, the agent can determine the humidity information of the current environment of the vehicle according to the humidity signal of the vehicle outside collected by the humidity sensor. The agent can determine the temperature information of the current environment of the vehicle according to the temperature signal of the vehicle outside collected by the temperature sensor.

[0168] Of course, the agent also has the ability to autonomously plan the user's intention and determine the task to be performed. For example, if it is determined that the user's intention is to automatically pay the parking fee, the agent can first calculate the optimal payment time for paying the parking fee according to the user's schedule and the charging rules, and then automatically pay the total parking fee when the optimal payment time is reached.

[0169] Therefore, based on the powerful performance of the agent, the method of the present application can be executed in the agent, which can make the method of the present application complete more quickly and accurately.

[0170] Specifically, a prompt word is set in the agent, which is used to prompt the task that the vehicle should perform. For example, a "parking automatic payment prompt word" is set in the agent, and the task of the parking automatic payment that the vehicle should perform is explained in the parking automatic payment. For example, when the vehicle is parked in the parking lot, the optimal payment time is automatically calculated according to the charging rules of the parking lot, and the parking fee is automatically paid, etc. The performance of the agent that can perform tasks and provide intelligent services in specific scenarios, the natural language understanding ability, the intention recognition ability, the scene analysis ability and the tool calling ability are relied on in the present application. The task of the parking automatic payment of the parking fee in the present application is set in the agent, which can achieve the purpose of automatically paying the parking fee of the vehicle when parking in different parking lots. The agent can also realize the functions of early vehicle preparation, automatic driving off the parking lot, route planning, etc.

[0171] As shown in Figure 7 Specifically, the agent can include a perception module, a control module, a tool storage module and an intention execution module.

[0172] The perception module is used to acquire the charging rules of the parking lot, the in-vehicle environment information and the out-of-vehicle environment information, etc. For example, the perception module receives the charging rules collected by the vehicle-mounted camera device.

[0173] The perception module sends the charging rules of the parking lot, the in-vehicle environment information and the out-of-vehicle environment information, etc. to the control module.

[0174] The control module receives the charging rules of the parking lot, the in-vehicle environment information and the out-of-vehicle environment information, etc. The control module is also used to receive the instructions or information sent by the electronic device of the user.

[0175] The control module determines the user intention according to the instruction of the user. The data to be used is determined from the charging rule, the in-vehicle environment information and the out-of-vehicle environment information according to the user intention.

[0176] The control module calls the tool in the tool storage module according to the user intention. The payment tool, the automatic driving tool, the route planning tool and the like exist in the tool storage module.

[0177] The control module sends the called tool, the user intention and the data to be used to the intention execution module.

[0178] The intention execution module executes the user intention, and completes the method of the application.

[0179] It should be understood that the size of the serial number of each step in the above embodiment does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined according to its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the application.
