Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a vehicle over-the-air download upgrade method, device, equipment, storage medium and product. Background Art

[0002] Over-The-Air (OTA) is an advanced automotive technology that allows automakers to update the software of vehicle components through wireless communication networks, with many advantages such as fast and batch updates. The process of over-the-air updates may include vehicle verification, software and hardware version verification, application (APP) erasure, software download, installation, and upgrade status feedback.

[0003] Ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle during the upgrade process is of utmost importance. Stability means that the vehicle status is in line with expectations and the upgrade process of over-the-air download and upgrade can be successfully completed; safety means that there will be no situation that endangers the safety of people and objects during the vehicle over-the-air download and upgrade process. To achieve stability and safety, the vehicle needs to have many strategies for precise control and real-time status monitoring, which involves the design of the entire vehicle system and the reasonable planning of software upgrade strategies.

[0004] Stability and safety are mainly analyzed and implemented around the high voltage and control strategy of the whole vehicle. For pure electric vehicles, their power source is the high-voltage battery pack. The closure of the main negative relay of the battery pack means that the high-voltage circuit of the whole vehicle is closed. At this time, the vehicle has the prerequisite for movement, which may cause unexpected driving, etc. Therefore, the existing vehicle over-the-air download and upgrade methods usually cut off the high voltage before upgrading. However, if the high voltage is completely cut off, it is impossible to perform over-the-air download and upgrade on components that are only enabled under high voltage while ensuring vehicle safety.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a vehicle over-the-air (OTA) upgrade method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of performing OTA upgrade on a vehicle. This method can be executed by a vehicle OTA upgrade device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The device can be configured in the OTA upgrade system of the vehicle, and the OTA upgrade system of the vehicle can be integrated in an electronic device, and the electronic device can be a vehicle. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110. Respond to the upgrade operation of at least one component to be upgraded triggered by the user on the in-vehicle display.

[0033] In this embodiment, the vehicle display can be understood as a display device installed inside the vehicle, which is used to display various information of the vehicle and provide a user interaction interface. For example, the vehicle display can display speed, power consumption, navigation and entertainment systems, etc. The parts to be upgraded can be understood as the parts in the vehicle that need to be upgraded in software or firmware. These parts usually include controllers (such as motor controllers and vehicle controllers, etc.), vehicle infotainment systems, instrument panels, and high-voltage battery management systems. The upgrade operation can be understood as an operation triggered by the user through the vehicle display to update or upgrade the software or firmware of the parts to be upgraded.

[0034] S120, control the vehicle to enter safety mode, and the power domain controller controls the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller to lower the high voltage.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power domain controller is an intelligent powertrain management unit, which is responsible for the centralized control and management of the vehicle's power system, including core components such as batteries, electronic controls and motors. The safety mode is used to ensure the safety of the vehicle during the upgrade of components. In safety mode, only necessary power-on and power-off operations and safety functions are allowed, such as unlocking and locking the vehicle, turning on / off the double flash, and opening / closing the doors, while functions directly related to driving are completely shielded, including but not limited to the shut-off operation of insulated gate bipolar transistors, the execution of shift commands, and the control of torque and speed. The battery pack can be understood as the power source of the vehicle, which is composed of multiple battery cells and is used to provide the electrical energy required by the vehicle. The all-in-one domain controller can be understood as a highly integrated electronic control unit that integrates multiple functional modules into one controller.

[0036] Specifically, a request to enter the safety mode is sent to the power domain controller, body domain controller, etc., the vehicle is controlled to enter the safety mode, and confirmation information that the safety mode has been entered is received; after receiving the confirmation information, a high-voltage lowering instruction is sent to the power domain controller. After receiving the high-voltage lowering instruction, the power domain controller controls the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller to lower the high voltage, and returns the high-voltage status information of the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller.

[0037] It is worth noting that the various requests or instructions sent by the over-the-air download upgrade system involved in the embodiments of the present invention are performed through routine control service instructions (service code is 0x31) in the unified diagnostic service USD.

[0038] S130. Determine the type of the at least one component to be upgraded based on a preset upgrade environment classification table, wherein the preset upgrade environment classification table includes an address of a preset component and a type of the preset component, wherein the type of the preset component includes a high-voltage upgrade environment class.

[0039] In this embodiment, the preset upgrade environment classification table can be understood as a predefined table for determining the type of components to be upgraded. The preset upgrade environment classification table includes the address of the preset components and the type of the preset components. Among them, the preset components are the definitions of the components in the preset upgrade environment classification table. The address of the preset components can be understood as the unique identification of the components in the vehicle. Exemplarily, the preset components are power domain control, and its address is 0x0101. The types of preset components include high-voltage upgrade environment classes, wherein the high-voltage upgrade environment class indicates that components of this type need to be upgraded under high voltage.

[0040] Specifically, after receiving the high-voltage status information of the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller, the address of each component to be upgraded is determined; for each component to be upgraded, the corresponding type is searched from the preset upgrade environment classification table according to the address of the current component to be upgraded. For example, the address of the current component to be upgraded is 0x0101, and in the preset upgrade environment classification table, the type corresponding to the address is "high-voltage upgrade environment class", so the type of the current component to be upgraded is determined to be "high-voltage upgrade environment class".

[0041] S140: If the type of the at least one component to be upgraded is the high-voltage upgrade environment type, after the battery pack and the all-in-one controller are controlled to be high voltage by the power domain controller, the at least one component to be upgraded is upgraded.

[0042] Specifically, since the components of the high-voltage upgrade environment need to be upgraded under high voltage, if at least one of the components to be upgraded is of the high-voltage upgrade environment type, it is necessary to control the high voltage of the battery pack and the all-in-one controller through the power domain controller, and then use the upgrade package of each component to be upgraded to upgrade each component to be upgraded. Among them, the upgrade package is stored in the over-the-air download upgrade system. In this way, the upgrade operation of the components that are only enabled under high voltage is realized.

[0043] A vehicle over-the-air upgrade method provided in a first embodiment of the present invention is applied to an over-the-air upgrade system of a vehicle, the method comprising: responding to an upgrade operation of at least one component to be upgraded triggered by a user on a vehicle-mounted display; controlling the vehicle to enter a safe mode, and controlling the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller to lower the high voltage by the power domain controller; determining the type of the at least one component to be upgraded based on a preset upgrade environment classification table, wherein the preset upgrade environment classification table includes the address of the preset component and the type of the preset component, wherein the type of the preset component includes a high-voltage upgrade environment class; if the type of the at least one component to be upgraded is all of the high-voltage upgrade environment class, after the battery pack and the all-in-one controller are controlled to raise the high voltage by the power domain controller, the at least one component to be upgraded is upgraded. Through the above technical scheme, before upgrading the components to be upgraded, the vehicle is controlled to enter the safety mode, and the power domain controller controls the battery pack and the all-in-one domain controller to lower the high voltage, which effectively ensures that the vehicle is in a safe state during the component upgrading process. Furthermore, when it is determined according to the preset upgrade environment classification table that the types of components to be upgraded are all high-voltage upgrade environment types, after the power domain controller controls the battery pack and the all-in-one controller to increase the high voltage, at least one component to be upgraded is upgraded, thereby realizing the upgrade of components that can only be enabled under high-voltage conditions, and solving the problem that the existing vehicle over-the-air upgrade method cannot perform over-the-air download upgrades on controllers that are only enabled under high-voltage conditions while ensuring vehicle safety.

[0044] In some embodiments, the type of preset components also includes a low-voltage upgrade environment class; after determining the type of the at least one component to be upgraded based on the preset upgrade environment classification table, it also includes: if the type of the at least one component to be upgraded includes the high-voltage upgrade environment class and the low-voltage upgrade environment class, after controlling the high voltage of the battery pack and the all-in-one controller through the power domain controller, the components to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment class are upgraded; after the upgrade of the components to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment class is completed, the power domain controller controls the high voltage of the battery pack and the all-in-one controller, and upgrades the components to be upgraded in the low-voltage upgrade environment class.

[0045] In this embodiment, the low-pressure upgrade environment class indicates that components of this type need to be upgraded in a low-pressure state.

[0046] The basis for designing the preset upgrade environment classification table is: according to whether the components are directly related to the high-voltage operation and driving of the whole vehicle, the vehicle controller is divided into a low-voltage upgrade environment category (i.e. related to high voltage and driving) and a high-voltage upgrade environment category (i.e. not related to high voltage and driving).

[0047] For example, since the power domain controller and its downstream components (such as the motor controller, battery controller, and all-in-one controller) directly control the high-voltage operation and driving of the vehicle, in order to ensure safety, the power domain controller can only be upgraded under low-voltage conditions; while other domain controllers (such as the body domain controller, cockpit domain controller, and intelligent driving domain controller) and their downstream nodes have a low correlation with high voltage and a large number, they can be upgraded after the vehicle is installed with high voltage to ensure that the low-voltage battery has sufficient power during the upgrade process. Assuming that the address of the power domain controller is 0x1000, the addresses of the body domain controller, cockpit domain controller, and intelligent driving domain controller are 0x0101, 0x0110, and 0x0111, respectively, the preset upgrade environment classification table can be expressed as follows:

[0048] Default upgrade environment classification table

[0049] Address of the preset component Type of the preset component 0x0101 High-voltage upgrade environment category 0x0110 High-voltage upgrade environment category 0x0111 High-voltage upgrade environment category 0x1000 Low-voltage upgrade environment category

[0050] Specifically, if the type of at least one component to be upgraded includes a high-voltage upgrade environment type and a low-voltage upgrade environment type, the power domain controller is first used to control the high voltage on the battery pack and the all-in-one controller, and then the upgrade package of the component to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment type is used to perform an upgrade operation on the corresponding component to be upgraded; after the upgrade operation of the component to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment type is completed, the power domain controller is used to control the high voltage on the battery pack and the all-in-one controller, and at this time, the low-voltage battery is used for power supply, and the upgrade package of the component to be upgraded in the low-voltage upgrade environment type is used to perform an upgrade operation on the corresponding component to be upgraded.

[0051] First, upgrade the parts to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment, and then upgrade the parts to be upgraded in the low-voltage upgrade environment. The purpose is to replenish the low-voltage battery power to a certain extent during the upgrade of the parts to be upgraded in the high-voltage upgrade environment, so that it has more sufficient power during the upgrade of the parts to be upgraded in the low-voltage upgrade environment. It effectively realizes the safe and stable upgrade of the two types of parts while ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

[0052] In some embodiments, after determining the type of the at least one component to be upgraded based on a preset upgrade environment classification table, the method further includes: if the type of the at least one component to be upgraded is the low-voltage upgrade environment type, upgrading the at least one component to be upgraded. The above technical solution simplifies the upgrade process and improves the upgrade efficiency, ensuring that the components in the low-voltage environment can be upgraded safely and efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the vehicle.

[0053] Specifically, if at least one component to be upgraded is of the low-voltage upgrade environment type, since the battery pack and the all-in-one controller have been controlled to lower the high voltage through the power domain controller, at this time, the power supply is provided by a low-voltage battery. Therefore, the upgrade package of each component to be upgraded can be used directly to upgrade the corresponding component to be upgraded.

[0054] In some embodiments, before responding to an upgrade operation of at least one component to be upgraded triggered by a user on the vehicle-mounted display, it also includes: receiving upgrade information of each component to be upgraded sent by an over-the-air upgrade platform, wherein the upgrade information is sent by the over-the-air upgrade platform when the vehicle meets preset upgrade conditions, and the preset upgrade conditions include that the difference between the actual battery state of charge of the low-voltage battery in the vehicle and the battery state of charge of the low-voltage battery required for upgrading all components to be upgraded is greater than a safety threshold; when the vehicle is powered on but not driving, an upgrade interaction interface is presented on the vehicle-mounted display according to the upgrade information of the component to be upgraded, wherein the upgrade interaction interface includes at least the component to be upgraded and a download now button and / or an install now button corresponding to the component to be upgraded.

[0055] In this embodiment, the over-the-air upgrade platform can be understood as a system deployed in a remote server for pushing upgrade information to the over-the-air upgrade system of the vehicle. The remote server can also be a cloud. The safety threshold can be understood as a pre-set threshold. The preset upgrade condition is a pre-set condition for determining whether to send the upgrade information.

[0056] Specifically, when it is necessary to upgrade the components in the vehicle, the over-the-air upgrade platform will obtain vehicle data, including but not limited to the vehicle model and the actual battery state of charge (SOC) of the low-voltage battery in the vehicle, and then calculate the difference between the actual battery state of charge of the low-voltage battery and the battery state of charge of all the components to be upgraded. When the difference is greater than the safety threshold, it is determined that the preset upgrade conditions are met, and the upgrade information of each component to be upgraded is sent to the over-the-air upgrade system of the vehicle that meets the preset upgrade conditions. Threshold evaluation is performed in combination with the actual battery state of charge of the low-voltage battery, which effectively avoids the risk of upgrade out of control and ensures the stability of the upgrade process.

[0057] After receiving the upgrade information of each component to be upgraded sent by the over-the-air upgrade platform, when the vehicle is in a powered-on but non-driving state, that is, when the vehicle is in the ON gear, the upgrade information is pushed to the cockpit domain controller. After receiving the upgrade information, the cockpit domain controller presents an upgrade interaction interface on the in-vehicle display to prompt the user to make an upgrade selection. At this time, the upgrade interaction interface at least includes the components to be upgraded and the immediate download button and / or the immediate installation button corresponding to the components to be upgraded.

[0058] Exemplarily, after presenting the upgrade interaction interface on the in-vehicle display and being in the download status response stage, three buttons will be displayed on the upgrade interaction interface, namely "Immediate Download", "Do Not Download for Now", and "Exit". If the user clicks "Immediate Download", the vehicle will start downloading the upgrade package; if the user clicks "Do Not Download for Now", the vehicle will not download immediately and may be prompted again later; if the user clicks "Exit", this upgrade prompt ends. When the upgrade package is downloaded, at this time, being in the upgrade status response stage, four buttons will be displayed on the upgrade interaction interface, namely "Immediate Installation", "Scheduled Installation", "Do Not Install for Now", and "Exit". If the user clicks "Immediate Installation", the vehicle enters the upgrade state. If the user clicks "Scheduled Installation", a suitable time can be set, and the vehicle will automatically perform the installation at that time. If the user clicks "Do Not Install for Now", this installation prompt is closed, the vehicle remains unchanged, and may be reminded again later. If the user clicks "Exit", then this installation prompt ends. Throughout the process, as long as the user does not select "Immediate Download" or "Immediate Installation", the vehicle will maintain its current operating mode, and the original functions and performance will not be affected, and it will continue to operate in the state before the upgrade.

[0059] In some embodiments, the state of charge of the required low-voltage battery is determined based on the total time for one upgrade required for upgrading all components to be upgraded, the total upgrade interruption time, and the total current. Through the above technical solutions, the smooth progress of the upgrade process can be ensured, the reliability of the upgrade can be improved, and the use and management of the low-voltage battery can be optimized.

[0060] In this embodiment, the total time for one upgrade can be understood as the total time required to complete the upgrade of all components to be upgraded without any interruption, and this time includes all necessary steps and times such as the preparation stage, the actual upgrade operation stage, and the verification and testing stage. The total upgrade interruption time can be understood as the total time required for secondary remedial upgrades due to upgrade failures caused by various reasons during the upgrade process of each component. The total current can be understood as the total current required when all components to be upgraded work simultaneously during the upgrade process.

[0061] Specifically, add the total one-time upgrade time required for upgrading all parts to be upgraded and the total upgrade interruption time to obtain the total upgrade time. Multiply the total upgrade time by the total current to obtain the required power. Calculate the percentage of the required power in the rated capacity of the low-voltage battery to determine the battery state of the required low-voltage battery.

[0062] The current over-the-air (OTA) upgrade method is limited by the capacity of the low-voltage battery of the battery electric vehicle and the current state of charge (SOC) of the low-voltage battery. When the upgrade time of the controller that needs to be upgraded is long, or the upgrade is interrupted accidentally and needs to be upgraded again, etc., it will consume a large amount of power of the low-voltage battery, resulting in failures such as the parts to be upgraded cannot be upgraded normally and the whole vehicle cannot be started again. However, in this application, the upgrade information will only be sent when the current SOC of the low-voltage battery meets the preset upgrade conditions. At the same time, the preset upgrade conditions fully consider the time used for the upgrade, effectively avoiding the situations such as the parts to be upgraded cannot be upgraded normally and the whole vehicle cannot be started again due to consuming a large amount of power of the low-voltage battery.

[0063] In some embodiments, the safety mode includes that the motor controller does not receive the enable signal and the preset functions in the body controller are disabled.

[0064] In this embodiment, the preset functions are pre-set and are used to determine the functions that need to be disabled in the safety mode.

[0065] Specifically, the safety mode includes that the motor controller does not accept the enable signal. At this time, the motor is not driven to operate to ensure that the vehicle is upgraded in a non-driving state. At the same time, the preset functions of the body controller are disabled, including but not limited to the drive control system, the driving management system, the gear control system, the air pump DCAC control, the drive system thermal management, the cooling compressor, and the air-conditioning PTC relay control. Through the above technical solutions, the safety and stability of the vehicle during the upgrade process are ensured.

[0066] Optionally, after all parts to be upgraded are upgraded, control the vehicle to exit the safety mode, and the whole vehicle returns to the drivable state.
