[0037] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) and signals involved in this application are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0038] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an implementation environment of a vehicle startup control method provided according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The implementation environment includes a vehicle 101 and a mobile terminal 102. The vehicle-mounted terminal in the vehicle 101 and the mobile terminal 102 are connected via a wireless network.

[0039] In some embodiments, according to the purpose of the vehicle, the vehicle 101 can be a car, a bus, a truck, a taxi, etc. According to the power source of the vehicle, the vehicle 101 can be a new energy vehicle, including a pure electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid vehicle, a fuel cell electric vehicle, etc. In addition to the vehicle-mounted terminal, the vehicle 101 is also equipped with an image acquisition device and an output device. The image acquisition device is used to capture images inside the vehicle 101, and can be a camera. The output device is used to output information, and can be a display screen, a speaker, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 102 is a terminal associated with the vehicle 101. For example, the mobile terminal 102 may be a terminal used by the vehicle owner, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a smart watch, etc., but is not limited thereto. An application may be installed and run on the mobile terminal 102, and the application is used to remotely start the vehicle.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the remote start command, the vehicle terminal of the vehicle 101 can perform a security check on it to ensure that the remote start command is a legal command from the mobile terminal 102. After the verification is qualified, the vehicle terminal can control the image acquisition device of the vehicle 101 to acquire images and send the acquired images to the mobile terminal 102, so that the owner can judge whether the person using the vehicle 101 is a legal person through the image displayed by the mobile terminal 102. After determining that the person using the vehicle is a legal person, the mobile terminal 102 can send a start permission command to the vehicle terminal of the vehicle 101 so that the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle to start.

[0042] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a vehicle startup control method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, the method is executed by a vehicle-mounted terminal of the vehicle, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle startup control method includes the following steps:

[0043] 201. In response to a remote start instruction for a vehicle, the vehicle-mounted terminal performs a security check on the remote start instruction and obtains a check result.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, when a user other than the owner of the vehicle has a need to use the vehicle, the user usually needs to ask the owner for the physical key of the vehicle before starting the vehicle. In order to quickly meet the user's need to use the vehicle without relying on the physical key to start the vehicle, the owner can send a remote start command to the vehicle through the terminal he uses after receiving the request to use the vehicle. After receiving the remote start command, the vehicle's on-board terminal can perform a security check on the remote start command according to a pre-defined algorithm to ensure that the remote start command is a legitimate command from the terminal used by the owner, thereby preventing the on-board terminal from controlling the start of the vehicle based on the remote start command sent by an illegal device.

[0045] Optionally, during the security verification process, the vehicle terminal can perform error correction on the remote start command based on a preset error correction code to prevent the remote start command from being tampered with or errors during the transmission process. The preset error correction code may be a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code.

[0046] 202. When the verification result is qualified, in response to detecting that the vehicle door is opened, the on-board terminal controls the vehicle's image acquisition device to capture an image of the user entering the vehicle, and sends the image to the terminal associated with the vehicle. The terminal is used to send a start-up permission instruction to the vehicle when it is determined that the user is a legitimate person based on the image.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, when the verification result of the remote start command is qualified, it indicates that the remote start command has passed the security verification, so the vehicle-mounted terminal can send an unlock command to the vehicle's body controller so that the body controller controls the vehicle's door to unlock. After the door is unlocked, the vehicle user can enter the vehicle's cab by opening the door. Correspondingly, when it is detected that the vehicle door is open, it can be confirmed that the vehicle user has entered the vehicle, so the vehicle-mounted terminal can control the vehicle's image acquisition device to start, so that the image acquisition device can capture images of the vehicle user in the vehicle. When the vehicle-mounted terminal receives the image of the vehicle user captured by the image acquisition device, it can send the image to the terminal associated with the vehicle, that is, the terminal used by the owner, through a wireless network.

[0048] After receiving the image of the vehicle user, the terminal associated with the vehicle can display the image and prompt information, which is used to prompt whether the vehicle user in the image is a legitimate person. In response to the vehicle owner's confirmation operation on the prompt information, the terminal can determine that the vehicle user is a legitimate person, so the terminal can send a start permission instruction to the vehicle.

[0049] 203. In response to receiving the start permission instruction from the terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the vehicle to start.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, when a start permission instruction is received from a terminal associated with the vehicle, it indicates that the person entering the vehicle is a legal person, so the on-board terminal sends a start instruction to the vehicle's power system to control the start of the vehicle's engine.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle startup control method, which can not only perform a security check on the received remote startup command when the vehicle is remotely started, but also control the vehicle's image acquisition device to capture images of vehicle users entering the vehicle after the security check is passed, thereby enabling the on-board terminal to control the vehicle startup when the vehicle-associated terminal determines that the vehicle user is a legitimate person based on the captured image, thereby greatly improving the security of the vehicle's remote startup.

[0052] Figure 3 is a flow chart of another vehicle startup control method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, the method is executed by a vehicle-mounted terminal of the vehicle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle startup control method includes the following steps:

[0053] 301. In response to a remote start instruction for a vehicle, the vehicle-mounted terminal performs a security check on the remote start instruction and obtains a check result.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, step 301 is the same as step 201 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] 302. When the verification result is qualified, the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle to enter the disarmed state, and the disarmed state is used to indicate that the anti-theft system of the vehicle is in the non-alert mode and the vehicle doors are unlocked.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, when the verification result of the remote start command is qualified, it indicates that the remote start command has passed the security verification, so the vehicle terminal can send an unlocking command to the vehicle's body controller to control the vehicle to enter the disarmed state. The unlocking command is used to instruct the body controller to control the vehicle's door unlocking and send a disarming command to the vehicle's anti-theft control unit to put the vehicle's anti-theft system in a non-alert mode. In the non-alert mode, the vehicle will not alarm due to the opening of the door.

[0057] Optionally, the vehicle terminal can also control the vehicle to perform an unlocking sound and light action during the process of controlling the vehicle to enter the unlocking state, so as to remind the vehicle user that the vehicle has entered the unlocking state. The unlocking sound and light action includes a sound action and a light action. The sound action can be the vehicle emitting an unlocking prompt sound; the light action can be the vehicle's lights flashing.

[0058] Optionally, in the event that the verification result is unqualified, the vehicle-mounted terminal can keep the vehicle in a fortified state, where the fortified state is used to indicate that the vehicle's anti-theft system is in an armed mode and the vehicle is locked.

[0059] 303. When it is detected that the door of the vehicle is opened, the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the image acquisition device to acquire the image of the person entering the vehicle, and sends the image to the terminal associated with the vehicle.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle door is unlocked, the vehicle user can enter the cab of the vehicle by opening the door. Accordingly, when it is detected that the vehicle door is open, it can be confirmed that the vehicle user has entered the vehicle, so the vehicle-mounted terminal can control the image acquisition device of the vehicle to start. After starting, the image acquisition device can capture images of the environment inside the vehicle in real time, and send the captured images of the interior of the vehicle to the vehicle-mounted face recognition system. The vehicle-mounted face recognition system can perform face detection on the image inside the vehicle to detect whether the image contains a face. If the vehicle-mounted face recognition system detects a face in the image, it can send the image to the vehicle-mounted terminal, so that the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the image to the terminal associated with the vehicle, that is, the terminal used by the owner, via a wireless network.

[0061] After receiving the image of the vehicle user, the terminal associated with the vehicle can display the image and prompt information, and the prompt information is used to prompt whether the vehicle user in the image is a legal person. In response to the vehicle owner's confirmation operation on the prompt information, the terminal can determine that the vehicle user is a legal person, so the terminal can send a permission to start command to the vehicle. Conversely, in response to the vehicle owner's denial operation on the prompt information, the terminal can determine that the vehicle user is an illegal person, so the terminal can send an alarm command to the vehicle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the vehicle terminal can also set a duration threshold for the duration of the vehicle in the disarmed state when controlling the vehicle to enter the disarmed state. Accordingly, when the vehicle enters the disarmed state, if the terminal does not receive the start-up permission instruction within the duration threshold, the vehicle terminal can control the vehicle to switch from the disarmed state to the armed state, and the armed state is used to indicate that the anti-theft system of the vehicle is in the alert mode and the vehicle is locked. Among them, the duration threshold can be 5 minutes, 8 minutes, and 10 minutes, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. If the terminal still does not receive the start-up permission instruction within the duration threshold, the vehicle terminal can send a locking instruction to the body controller to control the vehicle to enter the armed state. The locking instruction is used to instruct the body controller to control the door lock of the vehicle and send an arming instruction to the anti-theft control unit of the vehicle to put the anti-theft system of the vehicle in the alert mode. In the alert mode, the vehicle will sound an alarm when the door is opened. By setting a duration threshold for the duration of the disarmed state, it is possible to avoid the vehicle from being in the disarmed state for a long time when the start-up permission instruction is not received for a long time, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0063] It should be noted that the vehicle-associated terminal can determine whether the vehicle user is a legal person or an illegal person based on the image. Accordingly, if the vehicle user is determined to be a legal person, the vehicle-mounted terminal can execute the following step 304; if the vehicle user is determined to be an illegal person, the vehicle-mounted terminal can execute the following steps 305-306.

[0064] 304. In response to receiving the start permission instruction from the terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the vehicle to start.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, when a start permission instruction is received from a terminal associated with the vehicle, it indicates that the person entering the vehicle is a legal person, so the on-board terminal sends a start instruction to the vehicle's power system to control the start of the vehicle's engine.

[0066] In some embodiments, after the vehicle is allowed to be started, the user can start the vehicle by voice or password. Accordingly, the vehicle terminal can control the vehicle start-up in the following two implementation methods.

[0067] Implementation method 1: In response to receiving the start permission instruction from the terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the speaker of the vehicle to output voice prompt information, and the voice prompt information is used to prompt the vehicle user to start the vehicle; in response to receiving the voice control signal for starting the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted terminal can control the engine start of the vehicle. Among them, a voice acquisition device, such as a microphone, is also installed in the vehicle. The voice acquisition device is used to collect voice data of the vehicle user. The voice control signal is a keyword for starting the vehicle identified from the collected voice data, such as the keyword "start using / starting the vehicle".

[0068] Implementation method 2: In response to receiving the terminal's permission to start command, the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle's display screen to display a password input interface, and the password input interface displays a prompt message, which is used to prompt the vehicle user to enter a password; in response to the password input operation on the password input interface, the vehicle terminal obtains the password entered on the password input interface; when the password is consistent with the preset password, the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle to start. Among them, after determining that the vehicle user is a legitimate person, the terminal associated with the vehicle can also send a preset password to the terminal used by the vehicle user designated by the owner through a text message, so that the vehicle user designated by the owner can enter the correct password on the password input interface. If the password entered by the vehicle user is inconsistent with the preset password, it indicates that the vehicle user entering the vehicle is not the vehicle user actually designated by the vehicle owner, that is, there is an illegal person who has invaded the vehicle's image acquisition device, so that the image captured by the image acquisition device is not the real image of the vehicle user, but a false image after the vehicle user has changed his face, thereby causing the terminal used by the vehicle owner to confirm that the vehicle user is a legitimate person based on the false image. By displaying the password input interface after receiving the start permission command, a second confirmation can be performed before starting the vehicle, further improving the security of remote vehicle starting.

[0069] In some embodiments, the vehicle terminal can also automatically control the vehicle to enter a fortified state after the vehicle user has finished using the vehicle. Accordingly, when it is detected that the vehicle's gear is in the parking gear and the vehicle's door is open, it indicates that the vehicle has stopped and the vehicle user may open the door to get off the vehicle, so at this time the vehicle terminal can determine that the vehicle user has an intention to end the use of the vehicle. In order to further determine whether the vehicle user has left the vehicle, the vehicle terminal can control the vehicle's image acquisition device to capture an image of the vehicle's driving seat; when it is detected that there is no vehicle user in the image of the vehicle's driving seat and the vehicle's door is closed, the vehicle terminal can confirm that the vehicle user has left the vehicle, so the vehicle terminal can control the vehicle to enter a fortified state, which is used to indicate that the vehicle's anti-theft system is in an alert mode and the vehicle is locked. By controlling the vehicle to enter a fortified state after detecting that the vehicle user has finished using the vehicle, the safety of the vehicle can be guaranteed.

[0070] Optionally, when it is detected that the gear of the vehicle is in the parking gear and the door of the vehicle is open, the vehicle terminal can also control the speaker of the vehicle to output a prompt message and control the display screen of the vehicle to display the prompt message. The prompt message is used to prompt the vehicle user whether to end the current use of the vehicle. In response to receiving a voice control signal for ending the use of the vehicle or detecting a confirmation operation of the prompt message displayed on the display screen, the vehicle terminal can control the vehicle to enter the fortified state after confirming that the vehicle user has left the vehicle.

[0071] Optionally, the vehicle-mounted terminal can also send vehicle information to a terminal associated with the vehicle, and the vehicle information is used to prompt the vehicle owner that the vehicle has completed this use and is in a fortified state.

[0072] 305. In response to receiving the alarm instruction from the terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the vehicle to enter a locked state, where the locked state is used to indicate that the vehicle doors, engine and steering wheel are locked.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, when an alarm instruction is received from a terminal associated with the vehicle, it indicates that the user who entered the vehicle is an illegal person, so the vehicle-mounted terminal can immediately control the vehicle to enter a locked state. In the locked state, the vehicle doors, engine and steering wheel are all locked. Among them, when the doors are locked, the user cannot open the doors from inside the vehicle, thereby preventing illegal persons from escaping during the process of invading the vehicle. When the engine and steering wheel are locked, the transmitter cannot be started and the steering wheel cannot be turned, thereby preventing the illegal person from starting the vehicle by illegal means.

[0074] 306. When the vehicle enters a locked state, the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle to alarm.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle enters a locked state, it indicates that the illegal person is in the vehicle and cannot move, so the vehicle-mounted terminal can control the vehicle alarm to prompt that the vehicle has been invaded by an illegal person.

[0076] In some embodiments, the vehicle terminal controls the vehicle alarm, including at least one of the following:

[0077] (1) Control the loudspeaker of the vehicle to emit an alarm sound. The loudspeaker is also the horn of the vehicle, which can emit a high-decibel alarm sound.

[0078] (2) Control the vehicle's warning lights to light up. The warning lights may be headlights, taillights, turn signals, or other lamps of the vehicle, or they may be anti-theft alarm lights designed specifically for the vehicle, which are not limited in the present application. By controlling the vehicle's speakers to sound an alarm and controlling the vehicle's warning lights to light up, the vehicle owner or people around the vehicle can pay attention to the vehicle's condition in a timely manner, thus preventing illegal persons from causing damage to the vehicle.

[0079] (3) Sending alarm information to the server connected to the security management agency, including the image of the person using the vehicle and the location of the vehicle. By sending the image of the person using the vehicle and the location of the vehicle to the server connected to the security management agency, the security management agency can be notified in a timely manner of illegal intrusion of the vehicle, which facilitates the security management personnel to quickly respond to the call and ensures the safety of the vehicle.

[0080] Combine the following Figure 4The structural diagram of the vehicle startup control system shown in FIG. 1 is used to describe the vehicle startup control scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application as a whole. Figure 4 As shown, the terminal used by the car owner can send a remote start command to the vehicle's TBOX (Telematics Box, on-board terminal) through a wireless network. TBOX can perform a security check on the remote start command and allow the vehicle to be disarmed after the check is qualified, that is, allow the body controller to control the door unlocking. After the vehicle is disarmed, the user can open the door and get on the vehicle. TBOX can control the camera equipped with the on-board face recognition system to start collecting the face information of the user, and send the collected face information to the terminal used by the car owner through a wireless network. After the car owner confirms that the information is correct, the terminal used by the car owner can send a start permission command to TBOX. After the start is allowed, TBOX directly prompts the user through the on-board voice "You can start the vehicle, please start the vehicle directly", or TBOX controls the display screen to pop up a password input prompt "Please enter the password", and the user can directly start the vehicle after entering a legal password. When the owner confirms that the user is an illegal person, the owner can click the one-key alarm button displayed on the terminal to enable the terminal to send an alarm command to TBOX. At this time, the vehicle will lock and trigger the sound and light alarm function, that is, TBOX controls the door lock, the horn alarm and the warning light through the body controller. After the user has finished using the vehicle, TBOX can prompt the user through the in-vehicle voice whether to end the use of the vehicle, and control the display screen to make a pop-up prompt simultaneously. When the user's voice reply "end use" or click "confirm" on the display screen is collected, if the camera detects that the user has left the vehicle and closed the door, TBOX will actively arm the vehicle.

[0081] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle startup control method, which can not only perform a security check on the received remote startup command when the vehicle is remotely started, but also control the vehicle's image acquisition device to capture images of vehicle users entering the vehicle after the security check is passed, thereby enabling the on-board terminal to control the vehicle startup when the vehicle-associated terminal determines that the vehicle user is a legitimate person based on the captured image, thereby greatly improving the security of the vehicle's remote startup.

[0082] Figure 5 is a block diagram of a vehicle startup control device provided according to an embodiment of the present application. The device is used to execute the steps of the above vehicle startup control method. Figure 5 , the device comprises:
