[0026] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0027] The following describes the multi-sensor fusion positioning method, device, vehicle and storage medium of the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problem that the related technology mentioned in the above background technology relies solely on UWB positioning, many user scenarios cannot be covered, so that the user cannot open and lock / start the vehicle normally, the present application provides a multi-sensor fusion positioning method for a vehicle, in which Bluetooth can be used in conjunction with the UWB power consumption strategy to reduce the power consumption of UWB to meet the positioning of multiple scenarios of users, and the capacitive door handle sensor is used in conjunction with UWB positioning to perform the unlocking operation to meet the needs of users and improve the user experience. As a result, the problem that the related technology relies solely on UWB positioning, many user scenarios cannot be covered, so that the user cannot open and lock / start the vehicle normally is solved.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 A flowchart of a multi-sensor fusion positioning method for a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-sensor fusion positioning method of the vehicle includes the following steps:

[0030] In step S101 , the Bluetooth signal of the vehicle is divided into Bluetooth signal range circles of a welcome area, a locking area, an unlocking area and a starting area.

[0031] It can be understood that the Bluetooth signal range circle in the embodiment of the present application can be divided according to the distance between the user and the vehicle.

[0032] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can divide the vehicle's Bluetooth signal into Bluetooth signal range circles of the welcome area, the locking area, the unlocking area and the starting area. The Bluetooth signal range circles are from far to near. The welcome area is the area for welcoming users to get on the car (the welcome light is on and the rearview mirror is unfolded), the locking area is the car locking area, the unlocking area is the vehicle unlocking area, and the starting area is the vehicle starting area inside the car. The setting ranges of these four range circles are: the starting area is the area inside the car, the unlocking area has a radius of 3m from the car, the locking area has a radius of 5m from the car, and the welcoming area has a radius of 8m from the car. According to the accurate characteristics of UWB short-range ranging, the maximum distance is generally set to no more than 10m.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application can divide the Bluetooth into range circles to ensure that when the UWB signal is blocked in the future, the positioning problem can be solved by using the Bluetooth multi-point positioning technology.

[0034] It should be noted that the setting range is variable and depends on the general user usage habits of the vehicle model.

[0035] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, before dividing the vehicle's Bluetooth signal into Bluetooth signal range circles of a welcome area, a locking area, an unlocking area and a starting area, it also includes: when a user is detected approaching the vehicle, connecting the mobile phone Bluetooth to the vehicle to generate Bluetooth interaction data; determining the vehicle owner's identity authentication result based on the Bluetooth interaction data.

[0036] It can be understood that the Bluetooth interaction data in the embodiment of the present application can be a series of Bluetooth interaction data exchanged between the vehicle and the mobile phone after the connection is established.

[0037] Among them, before dividing the vehicle's Bluetooth signal into Bluetooth signal range circles of the welcome area, locking area, unlocking area and starting area, the embodiment of the present application can connect the mobile phone Bluetooth to the vehicle when detecting that the user is approaching the vehicle, and perform data interaction through the Bluetooth channel to generate Bluetooth interaction data, and complete the authentication process of the vehicle owner's identity according to the Bluetooth interaction data to determine the vehicle owner's identity authentication result, and provide support for subsequent UWB ranging, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0038] Step S201: Bluetooth connection.

[0039] Step S202: The vehicle owner is authenticated successfully.

[0040] Step S203: Determine whether the area has changed according to the Bluetooth RSSI.

[0041] Step S204: Check whether the capacitive door handle sensor signal is sent.

[0042] Step S205: Check whether the UWB ranging signal is normal.

[0043] Step S206: Start the Bluetooth multi-lateration positioning algorithm.

[0044] In step S102, when it is detected that the user is moving within the range of the Bluetooth signal, ultra-wideband UWB ranging is started to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle, and it is determined whether the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal condition according to the distance.

[0045] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the user within the Bluetooth signal range circle may refer to a change in the area state of the Bluetooth signal range circle.

[0046] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can start ultra-wideband UWB ranging to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle when detecting that the user is moving within the range of the Bluetooth signal, and determine whether the UWB ranging signal meets certain normal conditions based on the distance.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application can reduce the power consumption of UWB by coordinating Bluetooth with the UWB power consumption strategy to meet the user's positioning needs in multiple scenarios.

[0048] It should be noted that the preset normal conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0049] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the user is moving within the range of the Bluetooth signal, ultra-wideband UWB ranging is started to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle, including: when it is detected that the user is moving within the range of the Bluetooth signal, determining whether the user meets the preset approach intention condition; if the user meets the preset approach intention condition, controlling the vehicle to start UWB positioning and generate positioning data to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle based on the positioning data.

[0050] It can be understood that the preset approach intention condition in the embodiment of the present application may be a condition for the user to approach the vehicle.

[0051] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present application can determine the user's intention to approach the vehicle by changing the area when it detects that the user is moving within the range of the Bluetooth signal. If the user meets certain approach intention conditions, that is, when the area status changes, such as the welcome area -> locked area -> unlocked area, the user's approach intention can be clearly known. At this time, the vehicle can be controlled to start UWB positioning and generate positioning data to more accurately measure the distance between the user and the vehicle based on the positioning data.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application can determine the user's intention to approach the vehicle, and through Bluetooth and UWB power consumption strategy, reduce the power consumption of UWB, meet the user's positioning in multiple scenarios, improve the user's usage experience, and is highly intelligent.

[0053] It should be noted that the preset approach intention condition can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, it also includes: when the user stays around the vehicle for a preset time period, stopping UWB ranging; when the user exceeds the Bluetooth signal range, starting UWB ranging to generate a new ranging result.

[0055] It is understandable that the preset time condition in the embodiment of the present application may be that the user stays around the vehicle for a relatively long time.

[0056] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can stop UWB ranging when the user stays around the vehicle for a long time, exceeding the maximum usage time of UWB ranging. The embodiment of the present application can start UWB ranging again when the user walks out of the Bluetooth signal range, according to the change of the area, to generate a new ranging result.

[0057] The embodiments of the present application can specifically stop or start UWB ranging, thereby reducing the power consumption of UWB and satisfying the positioning needs of users in multiple scenarios.

[0058] It should be noted that the preset time condition can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0059] In step S103, if the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions, the capacitive door handle sensor signal is triggered to execute the vehicle unlocking operation, otherwise the Bluetooth multi-anchor signal positioning is started to generate a positioning area to execute the vehicle unlocking operation according to the positioning area.

[0060] It can be understood that the Bluetooth multi-anchor signal positioning in the embodiment of the present application is a technology for determining the location of a mobile device through multiple Bluetooth anchor points at fixed locations.

[0061] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can trigger the capacitive door handle sensor signal when the UWB ranging signal meets certain normal conditions. When the system detects this signal, it will promptly trigger the UWB ranging start, determine the user's location, and perform the unlocking operation. The embodiment of the present application can start Bluetooth multi-anchor signal positioning when the UWB ranging signal does not meet certain normal conditions, that is, when the UWB ranging signal is lost in the locking area or unlocking area (signal obstruction), generate a positioning area, and perform the vehicle unlocking operation according to the positioning area, such as Figure 3 As shown, ① is the main positioning MCU, ②③④⑤ are UWB+BLE slave nodes, ⑥⑦⑧⑨ are capacitive door handle sensors, and ⑩ is the mobile device carried by the user.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, when the UWB of the mobile phone is blocked and the RSSI value of the Bluetooth indicates that the user is close to the vehicle door, the user can be authenticated and unlocked through the induction of the capacitive door handle sensor. The more accurate positioning makes up for the loss of parameters in the UWB ranging. The capacitive door handle sensor cooperates with the UWB positioning to solve the problem of the user standing in front of the vehicle door and failing to unlock the door in time, allowing the user to enter, start, and leave the vehicle conveniently, quickly, safely, and without feeling the need to carry a key.

[0063] It should be noted that the preset normal conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, if the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions, the capacitive door handle sensor signal is triggered to execute the vehicle unlocking operation, including: when the user approaches the vehicle and the area position is not detected to meet the preset change conditions, it is determined that the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions, and the capacitive door handle sensor signal is triggered by the user touching the door handle of the vehicle; based on the capacitive door handle sensor signal, the UWB ranging is started to determine the user's position, and the vehicle unlocking operation is executed according to the user's position.

[0065] It can be understood that the preset change condition in the embodiment of the present application can be a valid regional position change condition.

[0066] Among them, the embodiment of the present application can determine that the UWB ranging signal meets certain normal conditions when the user approaches the vehicle from a relatively close distance and the user is already standing near the vehicle during the Bluetooth connection, and the system does not detect a valid regional position change. At this time, the capacitive door handle sensor signal will be triggered when the user holds the door handle. The embodiment of the present application can trigger the UWB ranging start in time when the system detects the capacitive door handle sensor signal, determine the user's position, and perform the unlocking operation.

[0067] The embodiment of the present application can further execute the unlocking operation of the vehicle, and the more accurate positioning can make up for the parameter loss of UWB ranging, and through the capacitive door handle sensor in conjunction with UWB positioning, the problem of users standing in front of the vehicle door and failing to unlock the door in time is solved.

[0068] It should be noted that the preset change conditions and the preset normal conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0069] According to the multi-sensor fusion positioning method for vehicles proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of UWB can be reduced by cooperating with Bluetooth and UWB power consumption strategy to meet the positioning of multiple scenarios of users, and the unlocking operation can be performed by cooperating with the capacitive door handle sensor and UWB positioning to meet the needs of users and improve the user experience. This solves the problem in the related art that many user scenarios cannot be covered by relying solely on UWB positioning, so that the user cannot open, lock or start the vehicle normally.

[0070] Next, the multi-sensor fusion positioning device for a vehicle proposed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of a multi-sensor fusion positioning device for a vehicle in an embodiment of the present application.

[0072] like Figure 4As shown, the multi-sensor fusion positioning device 10 of the vehicle includes: a division module 100, a measurement module 200 and a positioning module 300.

[0073] Specifically, the division module 100 is used to divide the Bluetooth signal of the vehicle into Bluetooth signal range circles of a welcome area, a locking area, an unlocking area and a starting area.

[0074] The measuring module 200 is used to start ultra-wideband UWB ranging to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle when it is detected that the user moves within the range of the Bluetooth signal, and determine whether the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions according to the distance.

[0075] The positioning module 300 is used to trigger the capacitive door handle sensor signal to perform the vehicle unlocking operation when the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions, otherwise start the Bluetooth multi-anchor signal positioning and generate a positioning area to perform the vehicle unlocking operation according to the positioning area.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the multi-sensor fusion positioning device 10 for a vehicle further includes: a generating module and a determining module.

[0077] Among them, the generation module is used to connect the mobile phone Bluetooth to the vehicle before dividing the vehicle's Bluetooth signal into Bluetooth signal range circles of the welcome area, locking area, unlocking area and starting area, so as to generate Bluetooth interaction data when it is detected that a user is approaching the vehicle.

[0078] The determination module is used to determine the vehicle owner's identity authentication result based on the Bluetooth interaction data.

[0079] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the measuring module 200 includes: a judging unit and a measuring unit.

[0080] The judgment unit is used to judge whether the user meets the preset approach intention condition when detecting that the user moves within the range of the Bluetooth signal.

[0081] The measuring unit is used to control the vehicle to start UWB positioning and generate positioning data when the user meets the preset approach intention conditions, so as to measure the distance between the user and the vehicle according to the positioning data.

[0082] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the multi-sensor fusion positioning device 10 for a vehicle further includes: a stop module and a start module.

[0083] The stop module is used to stop the UWB ranging when the user stays around the vehicle for a preset time period.

[0084] The starting module is used to start UWB ranging when the user exceeds the Bluetooth signal range to generate a new ranging result.

[0085] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the positioning module 300 includes: a trigger unit and a positioning unit.

[0086] Among them, the trigger unit is used to determine that the UWB ranging signal meets the preset normal conditions when the user approaches the vehicle and the area position is not detected to meet the preset change conditions, and trigger the capacitive door handle sensor signal by the user touching the door handle of the vehicle.

[0087] The positioning unit is used to start UWB ranging according to the capacitive door handle sensor signal to determine the user's location and perform the vehicle unlocking operation according to the user's location.

[0088] It should be noted that the aforementioned explanation of the embodiment of the multi-sensor fusion positioning method for a vehicle is also applicable to the multi-sensor fusion positioning device for a vehicle in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0089] According to the multi-sensor fusion positioning device for vehicles proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of UWB can be reduced through Bluetooth in conjunction with the UWB power consumption strategy to meet the positioning of multiple scenarios of users, and the unlocking operation can be performed through the capacitive door handle sensor in conjunction with UWB positioning to meet the needs of users and improve the user experience. This solves the problem in the related art that many user scenarios cannot be covered by relying solely on UWB positioning, so that the user cannot open, lock, or start the vehicle normally.

[0096] The memory 501 may include a high-speed RAM memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory (non-volatile memory), such as at least one disk memory.

[0097] If the memory 501, the processor 502 and the communication interface 503 are implemented independently, the communication interface 503, the memory 501 and the processor 502 can be connected to each other through a bus and communicate with each other. The bus can be an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, a Peripheral Component (PCI) bus or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus. The bus can be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 5 Only one thick line is used in the diagram, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or only one type of bus.
