Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a sentinel mode control method and device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, vehicles are often scratched or collided with other vehicles after parking. In order to ensure that the rights of car owners can be protected, some electric vehicles on the market are gradually equipped with sentry mode. When the owner turns on the sentry mode, the camera installed around the vehicle can monitor the environment around the vehicle in real time. When the vehicle is hit suddenly or other violations occur, the camera will record the scene and alarm the driver in time, thus providing strong support information for the subsequent protection of the rights of car owners.

[0003] Currently, when Sentry Mode is turned on, the cameras, radars, sensors and other equipment on the vehicle need to be in continuous working condition, which will reduce the life of these equipment and increase the failure rate of the equipment. In addition, for electric vehicles, the continuous operation of these devices will consume more power, which in turn consumes more battery power, seriously affecting the owner's driving experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a sentinel mode control method and device, which are used to reduce vehicle power consumption after the sentinel mode is turned on, extend the service life of equipment on the vehicle, and improve user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a sentinel mode control method, the method comprising: detecting environmental change information within a preset distance range of a vehicle; then, controlling N devices out of M devices related to the sentinel mode to switch from a working state to a sleep state according to the environmental change information, wherein M is a positive integer, M>N, and N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0006] It should be understood that before the above method is executed, the vehicle has already turned on the sentry mode.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, N devices related to the sentinel mode in working state can be switched from working state to sleep state based on the detected environmental change information within a preset distance range of the vehicle, so that the N devices do not need to work all the time, which can reduce the life loss of the equipment and reduce the power consumption of the vehicle.

[0008] In a possible design, controlling N devices among M devices related to the sentinel mode to switch from a working state to a sleeping state according to the environment change information includes:

[0009] When it is determined that the environment change information meets the first preset condition and the duration of the environment change information exceeds the first preset duration, a first notification message is sent to N devices, where the first notification message is used to notify the N devices to switch from the working state to the sleep state.

[0010] Among them, the first preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions: the visual picture frame change rate is less than the first set threshold; the surrounding physical distance change is less than the second set threshold; the acceleration or angular velocity of the vehicle is less than the third set threshold.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, when the environmental change information meets the first preset condition, that is, when the vehicle's surrounding environment is relatively safe, N devices in working state can be switched to sleep state. In this way, the M devices related to the sentinel mode do not need to be all in working state, which can extend the service life of the equipment and improve the user experience.

[0012] In one possible design, the method further includes: controlling N devices to switch from a sleep state to a working state according to environmental change information.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, when the sentry mode is turned on, the environmental change information around the vehicle is always detected. Then, the dormant device can be switched to the working state based on the environmental change information, so that when the vehicle is in danger, it can promptly alarm and record key evidence.

[0014] In a possible design, controlling the N devices to switch from a sleep state to a working state according to the environment change information includes:

[0015] When it is determined that the environment change information meets the second preset condition and the duration of the environment change information exceeds the second preset duration, a second notification message is sent to the N devices, where the second notification message is used to notify the N devices to switch from the sleep state to the working state.

[0016] The second preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions: the loudness of the sound is greater than a fourth set threshold; the acceleration or angular velocity of the vehicle is greater than a fifth set threshold.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, when it is detected that the sound loudness is greater than the set threshold and / or the vehicle acceleration or angular velocity is greater than the set threshold, the vehicle may be scratched, hit, etc. At this time, the device in sleep mode can be switched to working mode, so that relevant evidence can be collected in time and an alarm can be sounded when the vehicle is in danger.

[0018] In one possible design, the method further includes: when a preset change in the vehicle is detected, sending an alarm message to a server.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, when the vehicle undergoes preset changes, such as scratches, collisions, and hits, an alarm message can be sent to the server, so that the server can push the alarm message to the user's portable device, and the user can see the video and photos in time, which can improve the user experience.

[0020] In a second aspect, the present application provides a device, comprising a processor; a memory and one or more programs; wherein the one or more programs are stored in the one or more memories, and the one or more programs include instructions, which, when called and executed by the one or more processors, enable the device to execute the above-mentioned first aspect and any possible design method of the first aspect.

[0021] In a third aspect, the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the device of the second aspect.

[0022] In a fourth aspect, the present application also provides a readable storage medium, in which one or more programs are stored. When the one or more programs are run on a device, the device executes the first aspect and any possible design method of the first aspect.

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the following embodiments of the present application.

[0034] With the continuous development of electric vehicles (or new energy vehicles), sentry mode has gradually become a standard feature of new energy vehicles, and new energy vehicles of multiple brands on the market already support sentry mode. When the sentry mode on the vehicle is turned on, the vehicle can continuously detect the surrounding environment. When it detects that a moving object is approaching the vehicle or the vehicle is hit, scratched, collided, dragged, etc., the vehicle can alarm through sound and image, and record and save a certain period of time of video around the vehicle, and remind the owner through the mobile phone application (APP). Correspondingly, the owner can view relevant pictures and videos through the mobile phone APP or the car computer.

[0035] At present, the mainstream solution of various car manufacturers is to use the cameras, radars and sensors on the vehicle for detection. Among them, the camera continuously monitors the surrounding status through video recognition, such as whether there are objects approaching, whether someone is making large movements, etc. Therefore, when the sentry mode is turned on, the cameras, radars, sensors on the vehicle, and related equipment in the car (also known as: devices or components) need to work continuously, which will reduce the life of the equipment on these vehicles and may increase the failure rate of the equipment, thereby affecting the reliability of the entire vehicle. Secondly, for electric vehicles, turning on the sentry mode will consume a relatively large amount of battery power, thereby reducing the owner's experience of using the car.

[0036] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a control method for sentinel mode, which detects the state of the vehicle's surrounding environment. When the state of the vehicle's surrounding environment meets the first preset condition and the vehicle's surrounding environment is relatively safe, a designated device in the vehicle continues to perform sentinel detection, and other related devices enter a dormant state. Then, when the designated device detects that the vehicle's surrounding environment meets the second preset condition and may endanger the safety of the vehicle, it promptly notifies other related devices to enter a wake-up state and continue to detect the vehicle's surrounding environment. In this way, the devices on the vehicle can switch between dormant and wake-up states based on the surrounding environment state, without having to be in a working state all the time, thereby extending the life of the related devices on the vehicle, and can reduce battery power consumption, improving the owner's car experience.

[0037] For example, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario may include a vehicle 10 and a server 20. The vehicle 10 may be an electric car, and the server 20 may be a cloud server 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, the user can turn on the sentry mode by operating a button on the vehicle 10, or can also operate on a portable device, such as a mobile phone APP, to remotely turn on the sentry mode. Exemplarily, when the user clicks the button to turn on the sentry mode on the mobile phone APP, the mobile phone can send an instruction to turn on the sentry mode of the vehicle 10 to the server 20, and after receiving the instruction, the server 20 can send an instruction to turn on the sentry mode to the vehicle 10, so that when the vehicle 10 receives the instruction sent by the server 20, the sentry mode can be turned on.

[0039] In some other embodiments, when the vehicle 10 turns on the sentry mode, if it is detected that the surrounding environment of the vehicle 10 may affect the safety of the vehicle 10 or when it is detected that the vehicle 10 is scratched or hit, etc., an alarm message can be sent to the server 20. Accordingly, the server 20 can push the alarm message to the owner's portable device, such as a mobile phone APP, and the owner can view pictures and videos through the mobile phone APP.

[0040] like Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown, the system architecture may include a vehicle 10 and a server 20. Specifically, the vehicle 10 may include a T-Box (Telematics box), a cockpit domain controller (CDC), a gateway (GW), a mobile data center (MDC), a vehicle control unit (VCU), and a thermal management system (TMS).

[0041] Among them, T-Box is a cellular communication module in the car, which is connected to the gateway and other devices through a bus in the car, and connected to the server 20 outside the car through a cellular network. Generally, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a microphone (MIC) are integrated. In the embodiment of the present application, T-Box can receive instructions from the server 20, remotely turn on the sentinel mode, and report the working status of the device (multiple devices related to the sentinel mode on the vehicle); GW is a bus routing device in the car, which is used to isolate and connect different car devices; CDC can perform human-computer interaction through the screen, and generally also supports external storage devices, which can be used to store recorded videos or pictures during the process of turning on the sentinel mode; MDC is used for external cameras, radars, sensors, etc., and continuously detects the surrounding environment after the sentinel mode is turned on; VCU can coordinate the cooperation of multiple devices in the vehicle; TMS is used to thermally manage and monitor the battery when the power battery is working.

[0042] The server 20 is a server for providing automobile remote services. In some embodiments, the server 20 can be deployed in the cloud and communicate with the user's portable device and automobile through a cellular network.

[0043] The sentinel mode control method in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below in conjunction with the flow chart. Figure 3 As shown, it is a flow chart of a sentinel mode control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0044] Step 301: The vehicle 10 turns on the sentry mode.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the user is ready to leave the vehicle 10, the sentry mode can be turned on by pressing a button on the vehicle 10. Alternatively, the sentry mode of the vehicle 10 can also be turned on by voice control, such as when the user issues a voice command "protect my car" or "turn on sentry mode". When the vehicle 10 detects a trigger operation by the user or receives a voice command triggered by the user, the sentry mode can be turned on.

[0046] In other embodiments, the user may select the function of turning on the sentinel mode through a portable device, such as a function button on a mobile phone APP. After the user clicks the corresponding function button on the mobile phone APP, the mobile phone may send a control instruction for turning on the sentinel mode to the server 20, and then the server 20 may send a control instruction for turning on the sentinel mode to the vehicle 10. After the vehicle 10 receives the control instruction for turning on the sentinel mode, the sentinel mode of the vehicle 10 may be turned on according to the control instruction.

[0047] Step 302: The vehicle 10 detects environmental change information within a preset distance range.

[0048] In some embodiments, after the vehicle 10 turns on the sentry mode, many devices (e.g., M devices) on the vehicle 10 related to the sentry mode may enter a working state. The devices on the vehicle 10 may continuously detect environmental change information within a preset distance range around the vehicle 10 (e.g., within a distance range of 1 meter around the vehicle 10), so that the vehicle 10 can adjust the state of the devices related to the sentry mode based on the environmental change information, so as to avoid the problem of shortening the life of multiple devices due to long-term use of multiple devices after the sentry mode is turned on.

[0049] Step 303: If it is determined that the environmental change information satisfies the first preset condition and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the first preset duration, the vehicle 10 controls N devices among the M devices related to the sentry mode to enter a dormant state.

[0050] Wherein, M>N, M and N are both positive integers, and N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, after the sentinel mode is turned on, when the vehicle 10 detects that the environmental change information within the preset distance around it meets the first preset condition, and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the first preset duration, N of the M devices related to the sentinel mode can be switched from the working state to the sleeping state. Among them, the first preset condition can be used to indicate that the environmental change information around the vehicle 10 is stable, and the surrounding environment of the vehicle 10 is relatively safe. In this way, after the sentinel mode is turned on, if the environmental change information around the vehicle 10 is small, N of the M devices related to the sentinel mode, such as GW, VCU, etc., can be switched from the working state to the sleeping state, thereby reducing the power consumption of the vehicle 10 and reducing the life loss of the equipment.

[0052] Exemplarily, the first preset condition may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0053] Condition 1: The visual picture frame change rate is less than a first set threshold (e.g., m%);

[0054] Condition 2: The change in the surrounding physical distance is less than a second set threshold (e.g., n%);

[0055] Condition 3: The body acceleration or angular velocity of the vehicle 10 is less than a third set threshold (eg, p).

[0056] It should be understood that the above three conditions are merely examples, and the embodiments of the present application may include more or fewer conditions, without specific limitation.

[0057] Step 304: If it is determined that the environmental change information satisfies the second preset condition and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the second preset duration, the vehicle 10 controls N devices among the M devices related to the sentry mode to switch from the sleep state to the working state.

[0058] In some embodiments, after N devices among the M devices enter the dormant state, the vehicle 10 can continuously detect the surrounding environment change information. When it is detected that the environmental change information within the surrounding preset distance range meets the second preset condition, and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the second preset duration, the state of N devices among the M devices related to the sentinel mode in the dormant state can be switched to the working state. Among them, the second preset condition can be used to indicate that the environmental change information around the vehicle 10 is unstable and there is a danger in the surrounding environment of the vehicle 10. In this way, when the environmental change information around the vehicle 10 is large, N devices among the M devices related to the sentinel mode, such as GW, VCU, etc., can be switched from the dormant state to the working state to detect the surrounding environmental information of the vehicle 10 in real time.

[0059] Exemplarily, the second preset condition may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0060] Condition 1: The loudness of the sound is greater than a fourth set threshold (e.g., x);

[0061] Condition 2: The acceleration or angular velocity of the vehicle 10 is greater than a fifth set threshold (eg, y).

[0062] It should be understood that the above two conditions are only examples, and the embodiments of the present application may include more or fewer conditions, which are not specifically limited. The third set threshold in the first preset condition may be the same as or different from the fifth set threshold in the second preset condition, which is not limited in the present application.

[0063] In addition, the first preset duration and the second preset duration in the embodiment of the present application may be fixed or variable, and the present application does not specifically limit this. For example, the first preset duration and the second preset duration may be adjusted based on the frequency of state switching of N devices among the M devices related to the sentinel mode. For example, when the frequency of the state switching of N devices among the M devices related to the sentinel mode from the sleep state to the working state is high (the number of times is greater than the set threshold), the first preset duration may be extended.

[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after N devices out of M devices associated with the sentry mode switch from a sleep state to a working state, if a preset change is detected in the vehicle 10, such as when the vehicle 10 is detected to be hit, scratched, collided, dragged, etc., a video around the vehicle 10 for a certain period of time (for example, 5 minutes before and after the change) can be recorded and saved, and an alarm message can be sent to the server 20.

[0065] In addition, after receiving the warning message, the server 20 can send the warning message to the portable device. Specifically, when the server 20 receives the warning message sent by the vehicle 10, it can push the warning message to the owner's portable device, such as a mobile phone APP, and the owner can view related pictures and videos through the mobile phone APP.

[0066] Through the above embodiments, after the vehicle 10 turns on the sentinel mode, the status of some devices can be switched between the working state and the sleep state based on the surrounding environment information of the vehicle 10. This can reduce the power consumption of the vehicle 10 after turning on the sentinel mode and reduce the life loss of the vehicle 10 equipment.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a flow chart of a control method of sentinel mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0068] Step 401: The first device detects that environmental change information meets a first preset condition, and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the first preset duration.

[0069] For the convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, one of the M devices related to the sentinel mode may be referred to as a first device (or a first controller), and the first device may be used to control the state of a camera, radar, sensor, etc. related to the sentinel mode. Furthermore, one of the remaining devices other than the first device among the M devices related to the sentinel mode may be referred to as a second device (or a second controller).

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the first device may be an MDC, and the second device may be a T-Box. Of course, the first device may also be a CDC, and the second device may be a T-Box. Alternatively, the first device may also be other devices on the vehicle 10, and the second device may also be other devices on the vehicle 10, or the first device may be a device integrated with an MDC function, and the second device may be a device integrated with a T-Box function, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0071] Step 402: The first device sends a first notification message to N devices among the M devices, and sends a second notification message to the second device.

[0072] The first notification message is used to notify N devices among M devices related to the sentinel mode to switch from a working state to a sleeping state, and the second notification message is used to notify the second device to detect environmental change information.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first device can detect environmental change information within a preset distance range of the vehicle 10. When the first device detects that the environmental change information meets a first preset condition and lasts for longer than the first preset duration, it can send a first notification message for switching states to N of the M devices and send a second notification message for detecting environmental change information to the second device.

[0074] It should be understood that after the first device sends the second notification message of detecting environment change information to the second device, the state of the first device may be switched from the working state to the sleeping state.

[0075] Exemplarily, assuming that the first device is an MDC, when the MDC detects that the environmental change information satisfies a first preset condition (for example, the visual picture frame change rate is less than a first set threshold), and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds a first preset duration (for example, 5 minutes), the MDC may send a first notification message to the N devices on the vehicle 10 to notify the N devices to enter a sentinel ready state. At the same time, the MDC may send a second notification message to the T-Box to notify the T-Box to continue detecting environmental change information. It should be understood that in the sentinel ready state, the N devices are in a dormant state, that is, the N devices can switch from a working state to a dormant state, and the T-Box continues to detect environmental change information.

[0076] For example, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the working state of a device on a vehicle 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, in the sentinel ready state, the T-Box is in working state, and the rest of the devices, such as CDC, GW, MDC, VCU, and TMS, are in sleep state.

[0077] Step 403: The second device detects that the environment change information meets the second preset condition, and the duration of the environment change information exceeds the second preset duration.

[0078] Step 404: the second device sends a third notification message to N devices among the M devices, and sends a fourth notification message to the first device.

[0079] The third notification message is used to notify N devices related to the sentinel mode to switch from the sleep state to the working state, and the fourth notification message is used to notify the first device to detect the environmental change information.

[0080] Exemplarily, assuming that the second device is a T-Box, after the device on the vehicle 10 enters the sentinel standby state, the T-Box can continue to detect environmental change information within a preset distance range of the vehicle 10. Specifically, the T-Box can detect the sound and vibration around the vehicle through its own MIC and IMU. When the T-Box detects that the environmental change information meets the second preset condition (for example, the loudness of the sound is greater than the fourth set threshold), and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the second preset duration (for example, 10 minutes), the T-Box can send a third notification message to the N devices on the vehicle 10, notifying the N devices to enter the sentinel standby state, and notifying the first device (for example, MDC) to detect environmental change information. It should be understood that in the sentinel standby state, the N devices are in working state, that is, the N devices can be switched from a dormant state to a working state, and the MDC continues to detect environmental change information.

[0081] Step 405: The first device detects environment change information.

[0082] Step 406 : When the first device detects that the environmental change information causes a preset change in the vehicle 10 , an alarm message is sent to the server 20 .

[0083] It should be understood that Figure 4 The embodiment shown and Figure 3 Compared with the embodiment shown, Figure 3 The execution subject of the embodiment shown is a vehicle. Figure 4 The execution subjects of the embodiment shown are the first device and the second device. Figure 4 For details on the implementation of each step in the illustrated embodiment, such as the first preset condition, the second preset condition, etc., please refer to Figure 3 The detailed description in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0084] Further, such as Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a sentinel working mode switching provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6As shown, the sentry switch control can be used to control the on or off of the sentry mode of the vehicle. The MDC performs sentry detection on the environment around the vehicle through various peripheral devices such as external cameras, radars, IMUs and sensors (not shown). When it is detected that the first preset condition is met, the switching decision algorithm is used to transfer the detection process to the T-Box for execution. Then, the T-Box detects the sound, vibration, etc. around the vehicle through the MIC and IMU. When it is detected that there is a potential danger in the surrounding environment that may cause the vehicle to be scratched, etc., the switching decision algorithm is used to notify the MDC and other devices to switch from the sleep state to the working state.

[0085] Through the above embodiments, under the premise that the sentinel mode is turned on, the MDC and the T-Box can implement switching detection according to the state information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle 10. In addition, by sensing the changes in the surrounding environment, the sentinel working mode is automatically adjusted, which can not only ensure the safety of the vehicle 10 from being threatened, but also save the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and reduce the life loss of the vehicle 10.

[0086] like Figure 7 As shown, it is a flow chart of a sentinel mode control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 7 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0087] It should be understood that Figure 7 The execution subject of the embodiment shown can be Figure 3 The execution subject in the embodiment shown is a vehicle, which can also be Figure 4 The execution subject in the illustrated embodiment: the first device, for example, the first device may be an MDC or a CDC.

[0088] Step 701: Detect environmental change information within a preset distance range of the vehicle.

[0089] Step 702: Control N devices among the M devices related to the sentinel mode to switch from the working state to the sleeping state according to the environment change information.

[0090] Wherein, M and N are both positive integers, M>N, and N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0091] In some embodiments, N devices related to the sentinel mode can be switched from a working state to a sleep state based on the detected environmental change information within a preset distance range of the vehicle. This allows the states of the N devices related to the sentinel mode to be controlled according to the environmental change information, thereby reducing the life loss of the equipment and saving vehicle power consumption.

[0092] Specifically, when it is determined that the environmental change information meets the first preset condition and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the first preset duration, N devices can be controlled to switch from the working state to the sleeping state. When it is determined that the environmental change information meets the second preset condition and the duration of the environmental change information exceeds the second preset duration, N devices can be controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the working state.

[0093] It should be understood that when Figure 7 When the execution subject of the embodiment shown is a vehicle, Figure 7 Step 702 in the illustrated embodiment is Figure 3 The specific implementation of step 303 in the embodiment shown is the same, and can be found in detail. Figure 3 The detailed description of the embodiment shown in the figure. Figure 7 When the execution subject of the embodiment shown is the first device, the specific implementation of step 702 can be referred to in Figure 4 Detailed description of step 401 and step 402 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. In addition, the specific implementation of switching N devices from the sleep state to the working state can also be referred to in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detailed description in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.
