Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a vehicle control method, electronic equipment and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Many vehicles are equipped with a sentry mode, which monitors the situation around the vehicle after the vehicle is parked and powered off to protect the vehicle's safety. Although the sentry mode makes people's lives more convenient, after the vehicle enters the sentry mode, all radars and sensors related to the sentry mode will continue to be turned on. Therefore, turning on all radars and sensors in the sentry mode for a long time will consume a lot of battery power in the vehicle and shorten the vehicle's mileage. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to propose a vehicle control method, an electronic device and a vehicle to solve the problem of vehicle power consumption caused by long-term activation of the sentinel mode.

[0004] Based on the above purpose, the first aspect of the present application provides a vehicle control method, the vehicle includes multiple monitoring modules, the method is executed by a first vehicle-side controller, and the method includes:

[0005] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the start monitoring instruction and the vehicle being powered off, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for coordination instruction to the road-side communication device;

[0006] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the consent collaboration instruction sent by the road-side communication device, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request position instruction to the road-side communication device;

[0007] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the location information sent by the road-side communication device, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter target mode or sleep mode based on the location information, wherein some monitoring modules of the vehicle are sleep in the target mode, and all monitoring modules of the vehicle are sleep in the sleep mode.

[0008] In this way, when the vehicle is controlled to enter the target mode or sleep mode, some or all of the vehicle's monitoring modules are dormant, which can reduce the consumption of battery power by the monitoring modules and extend the vehicle's mileage. At the same time, the road-side communication equipment that sends the agreed coordination instructions to the vehicle will replace these dormant monitoring modules to monitor the situation around the vehicle in real time to ensure the safety of the vehicle when parked.

[0009] Optionally, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the position information, including:

[0010] The first vehicle-side controller determines the collaborative subject based on the position information;

[0011] The first vehicle-side controller sends request direction information to the collaborative subject;

[0012] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the direction feedback information sent by the collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the direction feedback information.

[0013] In this way, the location information and direction feedback information initiated by the collaborative subject can accurately determine the monitoring modules that can be put to sleep, thereby ensuring that the sleep of these monitoring modules will not affect the real-time monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0014] Optionally, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the direction feedback information, including:

[0015] The first vehicle-side controller determines the coverage range of the collaborative subject corresponding to each direction feedback information based on the direction feedback information;

[0016] The first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on all the coverage areas.

[0017] In this way, based on all the coverage ranges, the monitoring modules on the vehicle that can go into sleep mode can be accurately determined, and then these monitoring modules can be controlled to go into sleep mode to control the vehicle to enter target mode or sleep mode, thereby ensuring that the sleep mode of these monitoring modules will not affect the real-time monitoring of the vehicle's surrounding conditions, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during parking; at the same time, the sleep mode of the monitoring modules can reduce the battery power consumption of the monitoring modules and extend the vehicle's cruising range.

[0018] Optionally, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on all the coverage areas, including:

[0019] In response to the coverage being full-area coverage, the first vehicle-side controller determines the collaborative subject corresponding to the coverage as a target collaborative subject;

[0020] The first vehicle-side controller sends a request for full monitoring instruction to the target collaborative subject;

[0021] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the full monitoring instruction sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep, so as to control the vehicle to enter the sleep mode.

[0022] In this way, even if all the monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode, the target collaborative entity can replace all the monitoring modules of the vehicle to perform monitoring tasks, and can monitor the entire area around the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking. Therefore, the sleep mode of all the monitoring modules will not affect the monitoring of the vehicle's surrounding environment. At the same time, the sleep mode of all the monitoring modules means that the monitoring modules do not need to be powered by the vehicle's battery, thereby reducing the consumption of battery power and extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0023] Optionally, after the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep, the method further includes:

[0024] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the wake-up instruction sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to turn on and sends a wake-up instruction to the target collaborative entity;

[0025] The first vehicle-side controller monitors the power of the vehicle battery and the monitoring time of the monitoring module;

[0026] In response to the monitoring duration reaching a preset monitoring duration and all the monitoring modules not detecting a preset event, and / or the power level being less than a preset power level, the first vehicle-side controller sends a re-monitoring request to the target collaborative subject;

[0027] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the consent to re-monitoring information sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep.

[0028] When the vehicle controller receives the consent for re-monitoring information, it controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep. At this time, the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the target collaborative subject replaces the monitoring module of the vehicle to monitor the entire area around the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0029] Optionally, controlling the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on all the coverage areas includes:

[0030] In response to each of the coverage areas being half-area coverage, the first vehicle-side controller sends a collaborative monitoring request instruction to each of the collaborative entities corresponding to the coverage areas;

[0031] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the cooperative monitoring consent information sent by the cooperative subject, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the cooperative monitoring consent information.

[0032] Based on at least one piece of agreed collaborative monitoring information received, the monitoring modules on the vehicle that can be dormant are determined, and then these monitoring modules are controlled to be dormant to control all or part of the monitoring modules of the vehicle to be dormant, thereby reducing the battery power consumption when turning on the monitoring modules. At the same time, the collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information replaces the dormant monitoring module to monitor the situation around the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0033] Optionally, controlling the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the agreed collaborative monitoring information includes:

[0034] Determine the collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information as a target collaborative subject;

[0035] Determine the coverage range corresponding to the target collaborative entity as the target coverage range;

[0036] Determine, among all monitoring modules of the vehicle, monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range as target monitoring modules;

[0037] The target monitoring module is controlled to sleep, so as to control the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode.

[0038] The monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range among all the monitoring modules of the vehicle are determined as target monitoring modules and the target monitoring modules are controlled to sleep. In this way, the sleep state of the target monitoring modules can reduce the consumption of battery power when the monitoring modules are turned on, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range. At the same time, the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the target collaborative subject can monitor the area around the vehicle instead of the sleep target monitoring modules to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0039] Optionally, the cooperative subject includes a second vehicle end, and the second vehicle end is another vehicle end other than the vehicle;

[0040] After the first vehicle-side controller controls the target monitoring module to sleep, the method further includes:

[0041] In response to the target collaborative subject being the second vehicle end, the first vehicle end controller monitors the sleep duration of the target monitoring module, and in response to the sleep duration reaching a preset sleep duration, controls the target monitoring module to start and sends a sleep request to the target collaborative subject;

[0042] Alternatively, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the departure information sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller receives the monitoring information sent by the target collaborative entity, and controls the target monitoring module to start.

[0043] When the sleep time reaches the preset sleep time, the target monitoring module needs to be turned on. At this time, the target monitoring module will monitor the same area between the vehicle and the target collaborative entity to realize polling monitoring of the vehicle (i.e. the first vehicle end) and the target collaborative entity (i.e. the second vehicle end), further reducing the consumption of battery power by the monitoring equipment of the target collaborative entity, and realizing mutual benefit between the vehicle and the target collaborative entity.

[0044] Based on the same inventive concept, the second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, it implements the method described in any one of the first aspects above.

[0045] Based on the same inventive concept, the third aspect of the present application provides a vehicle control device, comprising:

[0046] The first transceiver module is configured to, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the start monitoring instruction and the vehicle being powered off, send a request for coordination instruction to the road-side communication device by the first vehicle-side controller;

[0047] A second transceiver module is configured to, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the consent coordination instruction sent by the road-side communication device, send a request position instruction to the road-side communication device by the first vehicle-side controller;

[0048] The control module is configured to respond to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the location information sent by the road-side communication device. The first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the location information, wherein some monitoring modules of the vehicle are sleep in the target mode, and all monitoring modules of the vehicle are sleep in the sleep mode.

[0049] Based on the same inventive concept, the fourth aspect of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer instructions, and the computer instructions are used to enable the computer to execute the vehicle control method described in any one of the first aspects above.

[0050] Based on the same inventive concept, the fifth aspect of the present application provides a computer program product, including computer program instructions. When the computer program instructions are run on a computer, the computer executes the vehicle control method as described in any one of the first aspects above.

[0051] Based on the same inventive concept, the sixth aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising the electronic device described in the second aspect, the control device described in the third aspect, the computer-readable medium described in the fourth aspect, or the computer program product described in the fifth aspect.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the vehicle control method, electronic device and vehicle provided by the present application, when the first vehicle-side controller receives the command to start monitoring and the vehicle is powered off, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for coordination command to the road-side communication device; when the first vehicle-side controller receives the command to agree to coordination sent by the road-side communication device, it means that the road-side communication devices around the vehicle agree to conduct collaborative monitoring with the vehicle, and then the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for location command to the road-side communication device. Based on the received location information sent by the road-side communication device, the location of the road-side communication device and the range of collaborative monitoring by the road section communication device can be determined. Then the road-side communication device can replace the monitoring module covered by the road-side communication device to perform monitoring, so that the part of the monitoring modules covered by the road-side communication device on the vehicle (which can be all monitoring modules or part of the monitoring modules) can be controlled to sleep to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or sleep mode. In this way, the sleep of some or all monitoring modules of the vehicle can reduce the consumption of battery power by the monitoring module and extend the vehicle's mileage. At the same time, the road-side communication device that sends the command to agree to coordination to the vehicle will replace these dormant monitoring modules to monitor the situation around the vehicle in real time to ensure the safety of the vehicle when it is parked.

[0058] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present application belongs.

"Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0060] In order to ensure the safety of vehicles during parking, many vehicles are equipped with a sentry mode and equipped with radars, sensors, and cameras required to enter the sentry mode. In sentry mode, even if the vehicle is turned off, the battery in the vehicle will still keep the radar, sensors, and cameras powered.

[0061] When an existing vehicle enters sentry mode, all radars, sensors, and cameras related to the sentry mode will be turned on continuously, and the vehicle's battery will need to continuously power these devices. Therefore, turning on the sentry mode for a long time will consume a large amount of battery power and shorten the vehicle's mileage. However, if the vehicle's sentry mode is not turned on, the safety of the vehicle during parking cannot be guaranteed.

[0062] Therefore, how to balance the consumption of battery power in sentinel mode and ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0063] Based on this, see Figure 1 The present application provides a method for controlling a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a plurality of monitoring modules, each of which may be a radar, a sensor or a camera device related to a sentry mode of the vehicle.

[0064] The method may be executed by a first vehicle-side controller (e.g., a vehicle controller of the first vehicle-side), and the method includes:

[0065] Step S100, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the start monitoring instruction and the vehicle being powered off, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for coordination instruction to the road-side communication device;

[0066] Step S200, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the consent to cooperate instruction sent by the road-side communication device, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request position instruction to the road-side communication device;

[0067] Step S300, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the location information sent by the road-side communication device, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the location information, wherein some monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode in the target mode, and all monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode.

[0068] Specifically, when a monitoring start instruction is received and the vehicle is powered off, a request coordination instruction is sent. The monitoring start instruction may be a sentinel mode start instruction, which may be actively sent by a user, or may be actively sent by the vehicle monitoring module to the vehicle controller when the vehicle meets certain conditions, to instruct the vehicle controller to turn on the sentinel mode, so as to monitor the safety of the surrounding environment in real time during the parking process of the vehicle.

[0069] When the vehicle controller receives the start monitoring command and determines that the vehicle is powered off, it sends a request for coordination command to the surrounding road-side communication equipment. For example, the request for coordination command can be sent through Bluetooth, WIFI, V2X and other communication methods.

[0070] If there are roadside communication devices with communication functions around the vehicle (such as other vehicles, roadside cameras, etc.), these roadside communication devices will receive the request for coordination instructions sent by the vehicle controller of this vehicle. If these communication devices agree to conduct sentinel mode collaborative monitoring with this vehicle, they will send a consent coordination instruction to the vehicle controller. For example, the consent coordination instruction can still be sent through Bluetooth, WIFI, V2X and other communication methods.

[0071] When the vehicle controller of the vehicle receives the consent to cooperate instruction, it sends a request position instruction to the communication device that sends the consent to cooperate instruction. After receiving the request position instruction, the communication device sends its own position information to the vehicle controller of the vehicle.

[0072] After receiving the position information, the vehicle controller of this vehicle controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the position information. In the target mode, some monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode and some monitoring modules perform monitoring. In the sleep mode, all monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode. In the sentinel mode, all monitoring modules of the vehicle perform monitoring.

[0073] Specifically, based on the location information, the specific location of the communication device that has established a link with the vehicle can be determined. Based on the specific location of the communication device, the specific range or specific angle in which the communication device can participate in collaborative monitoring can be determined. Based on the determined specific range or specific angle, it can be determined which monitoring modules of the vehicle can be put into sleep mode. In this way, ultimately based on the location information, some of the vehicle's monitoring modules can be controlled to sleep so that the vehicle enters the target mode, or all of the vehicle's monitoring modules can be controlled to sleep so that the vehicle enters the sleep mode.

[0074] Although all or part of the vehicle's monitoring modules are dormant and do not perform real-time monitoring, since the vehicle controller receives the consent coordination instructions sent by the surrounding communication devices, the surrounding communication devices will replace these dormant monitoring modules to perform real-time monitoring of the situation around the vehicle.

[0075] In the present application, when the first vehicle-side controller receives a command to start monitoring and the vehicle is powered off, the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for coordination command to the road-side communication device; when the first vehicle-side controller receives a command to agree to coordination sent by the road-side communication device, it indicates that the road-side communication devices around the vehicle agree to conduct collaborative monitoring with the vehicle, and then the first vehicle-side controller sends a request for location command to the road-side communication device. Based on the received location information sent by the road-side communication device, the location of the road-side communication device and the range of collaborative monitoring by the road section communication device can be determined. Then the road-side communication device can replace the monitoring module covered by the road-side communication device to perform monitoring. In this way, the part of the monitoring modules on the vehicle covered by the road-side communication device (which can be all monitoring modules or part of the monitoring modules) can be controlled to sleep to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or sleep mode. In this way, the sleep of some or all monitoring modules of the vehicle can reduce the consumption of battery power by the monitoring module and extend the vehicle's mileage. At the same time, the road-side communication device that sends a command to agree to coordination to the vehicle will replace these dormant monitoring modules to monitor the situation around the vehicle in real time to ensure the safety of the vehicle when parked.

[0076] Furthermore, after the first vehicle-side controller receives the location information sent by the road-side communication device, how to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the location information is another problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0077] Based on this, in some embodiments, in step S300, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the position information, including:

[0078] Step S310: The first vehicle-side controller determines a collaborative subject based on the location information;

[0079] Step S320: the first vehicle-side controller sends request direction information to each of the collaborative entities;

[0080] Step S330: In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the direction feedback information sent by the collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the direction feedback information.

[0081] Specifically, based on the location information, all communication devices that send location information are determined as collaborative entities. Since there may be multiple communication devices around the vehicle, and multiple communication devices may send location information to the vehicle controller, each communication device that sends location information to the vehicle controller is determined as a collaborative entity, so the collaborative entity finally determined may be at least one, that is, the number of collaborative entities corresponds to the number of received location information, and each location information corresponds to a collaborative entity.

[0082] Then, the request direction information is sent to each of the collaborative entities. After receiving the request direction information, each collaborative entity generates direction feedback information based on its own direction and angle relative to the vehicle, and then sends the generated direction feedback information to the vehicle controller of the vehicle.

[0083] For example, after a collaborative entity receives the requested direction information sent by the vehicle controller, the direction feedback information it generates based on its own direction and angle relative to the vehicle is "45° East". "45° East" means that the collaborative entity is located 45° east of the vehicle.

[0084] Alternatively, after a collaborative entity receives the requested direction information sent by the vehicle controller, the direction feedback information it generates based on its own direction and angle relative to the vehicle is "30° West". "30° West" means that the collaborative entity is located 30° west of the vehicle.

[0085] Then, the vehicle controller determines the monitorable range of the communication device linked to the vehicle based on the received feedback information from at least one direction, determines the monitoring module of the vehicle that can be put into sleep mode based on the monitorable range, and then controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or sleep mode.

[0086] In the present application, when controlling a vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on location information, first, based on the location information, all communication devices that send the location information are determined as collaborative entities, and then request direction information is sent to each collaborative entity. Finally, based on at least one direction feedback information received, the monitorable range of the collaborative entity that has established a link with the vehicle is determined, and based on the monitorable range, the monitoring area on the vehicle that can be covered by the collaborative entity is determined. The monitoring module of the vehicle located in the monitoring area can be put into sleep, and then this part of the monitoring module can be controlled to sleep and then the vehicle can be controlled to enter the target mode or sleep mode. In this way, the monitoring module that can be put into sleep can be accurately determined through the location information and direction feedback information sent by the collaborative entity, thereby ensuring that the sleep of this part of the monitoring module will not affect the real-time monitoring of the situation around the vehicle, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0087] Furthermore, after receiving the direction feedback information sent by the collaborative subject, how to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the direction feedback information is another problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0088] In some embodiments, in step S330, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the direction feedback information, including:

[0089] Step S331: The first vehicle-side controller determines the coverage range of the collaborative subject corresponding to each direction feedback information based on the direction feedback information;

[0090] Step S332: The first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on all the coverage areas.

[0091] Specifically, firstly, based on each directional feedback information, the coverage range of the collaborative subject corresponding to the directional feedback information is determined respectively. The coverage range refers to the area range of the vehicle and the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle that can be monitored by the camera equipment or monitoring equipment of the collaborative subject.

[0092] For example, the vehicle and the area around the vehicle may be divided into a front area, a rear area, a right area of ​​the vehicle body, a left area of ​​the vehicle body, and the entire area around the vehicle body.

[0093] The coverage range can be full area coverage or half area coverage. Half area coverage can be further divided into front area coverage, rear area coverage, full area coverage on the right side of the vehicle, half area coverage on the right side of the vehicle, full area coverage on the left side of the vehicle, or half area coverage on the left side of the vehicle.

[0094] When the camera or monitoring equipment of the collaborative subject can monitor the entire area around the vehicle body, the coverage range corresponding to the collaborative subject is full area coverage, which means that the camera or monitoring equipment of the collaborative subject can monitor the entire area around the vehicle.

[0095] When the camera or monitoring device of the collaborative subject can only monitor the area corresponding to the right front door of the vehicle, the coverage range corresponding to the collaborative subject is half-area coverage, which means that the camera or monitoring device of the collaborative subject can only monitor the area corresponding to the right front door of the vehicle.

[0096] Since the areas of the vehicle that can be monitored by the camera equipment or monitoring equipment of the collaborative subject corresponding to different coverage ranges are different, the positions of the monitoring modules that can be put into sleep mode on the corresponding vehicles are also different. Therefore, based on all the said coverage ranges, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target mode or the sleep mode.

[0097] In the present application, when controlling the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on at least one directional feedback information, first, based on each directional feedback information, the coverage range of the collaborative entity corresponding to the directional feedback information is determined respectively, and then based on all the coverage ranges, the monitoring modules on the vehicle that can be put into sleep mode can be accurately determined, and then these monitoring modules are controlled to be put into sleep mode to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode, thereby ensuring that the sleep mode of these monitoring modules will not affect the real-time monitoring of the vehicle's surrounding conditions, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during parking; at the same time, the dormant monitoring modules can reduce the consumption of battery power by the monitoring modules, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0098] After determining the coverage range of the collaborative entity corresponding to each directional feedback information based on the directional feedback information, how to determine which monitoring modules can be put into sleep and which cannot be put into sleep based on the coverage range is a very critical step, which is related to the parking safety of the vehicle and the battery power consumption.

[0099] Based on this, in some embodiments, the step S332 in which the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on all the coverage areas includes:

[0100] Step S3321: In response to the coverage being full-area coverage, the first vehicle-side controller determines the collaborative subject corresponding to the coverage as a target collaborative subject;

[0101] Step S3322: The first vehicle-side controller sends a request for full monitoring instruction to the target collaborative entity;

[0102] Step S3323: In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the full monitoring instruction sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep, so as to control the vehicle to enter sleep mode.

[0103] Specifically, when at least one of the coverage areas is full area coverage, it means that the monitoring equipment or video equipment of the collaborative subject corresponding to the coverage area can monitor the entire area around the vehicle, and the collaborative subject corresponding to the coverage area is determined as the target collaborative subject. Exemplarily, the target collaborative subject can be a road-side camera device, such as a roadside camera.

[0104] Then a request for full monitoring instruction is sent to the target collaborative entity. After receiving the full monitoring instruction, if the target collaborative entity agrees to monitor the entire area around the vehicle, a full monitoring agreement instruction is sent to the vehicle controller, indicating that the target collaborative entity can replace all monitoring modules of the vehicle to perform monitoring tasks and can monitor the entire area around the vehicle.

[0105] In this way, when the vehicle controller receives the full monitoring instruction, it controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep, so as to control the vehicle to enter the sleep mode.

[0106] In this way, even if all the monitoring modules of the vehicle are in sleep mode, the target collaborative entity can replace all the monitoring modules of the vehicle to perform monitoring tasks, and can monitor the entire area around the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking. Therefore, the sleep mode of all the monitoring modules will not affect the monitoring of the vehicle's surrounding environment. At the same time, the sleep mode of all the monitoring modules means that the monitoring modules do not need to be powered by the vehicle's battery, thereby reducing the consumption of battery power and extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0107] In some embodiments, after the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep in step S3323, the following further steps are included:

[0108] Step S3324: In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the wake-up instruction sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to turn on, and sends a wake-up instruction to the target collaborative entity;

[0109] Step S3325: the first vehicle-side controller monitors the power level of the vehicle battery and the monitoring time of the monitoring module;

[0110] Step S3326: In response to the monitoring duration reaching the preset monitoring duration and all the monitoring modules not detecting the preset event, and / or the power level being less than the preset power level, the first vehicle-side controller sends a re-monitoring request to the target collaborative subject;

[0111] Step S3327: In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the consent to re-monitor sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep.

[0112] Specifically, after all monitoring modules of the controlled vehicle are in sleep mode, when a wake-up instruction sent by the target collaborative subject is received, it indicates that the target collaborative subject has sent a wake-up instruction to the vehicle controller based on a preset connection rule.

[0113] The preset connection rule is a preset wake-up rule for mutual confirmation when the vehicle and surrounding communication devices establish a link. For example, the preset connection rule can be included in the request for coordination instruction. When the communication devices around the vehicle agree to perform the monitoring task with the vehicle and agree to the preset connection rule, the communication device sends a coordination agreement instruction to the vehicle controller.

[0114] For example, the preset connection rule may be to wake up the vehicle when a moving object is detected within a preset range around the vehicle, wherein the preset range is a custom range value, such as 5m or 3m.

[0115] Therefore, when all monitoring modules of the vehicle are dormant and only the target collaborative subject monitors the environment around the vehicle, when a situation that meets the preset connection rules is detected, the target collaborative subject sends a wake-up command to the vehicle controller according to the preset connection rules.

[0116] When the vehicle controller receives the wake-up command, it controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to turn on, and sends a wake-up command to the target collaborative entity. At this time, all monitoring modules of the vehicle begin to monitor.

[0117] During the monitoring process, the power level of the vehicle battery and the monitoring duration of the monitoring module are monitored. When the monitoring duration reaches the preset monitoring duration and all the monitoring modules do not monitor the preset event, and / or the power level is less than the preset power level, a re-monitoring request is sent to the target collaborative entity.

[0118] The preset monitoring duration is the preset maximum duration of a single monitoring. The preset event is a pre-set event that may affect the safety of the vehicle. For example, the preset event may be a vehicle scratch, collision, vibration, sound, or other event.

[0119] When the monitoring time reaches the preset monitoring time and all monitoring modules have not detected the preset events, it means that the monitoring module has been turned on for a long enough time, but the preset events have not been detected. At this time, continuing to turn on the monitoring module will consume too much power from the vehicle battery. Therefore, a re-monitoring request can be sent to the target collaborative entity, requesting the target collaborative entity to re-monitor the entire area around the vehicle separately.

[0120] The preset power level is a preset minimum power threshold of the battery. When the power level of the battery is less than the preset power level, the battery will be fed back, which is not conducive to the subsequent use of the vehicle.

[0121] Therefore, when the power level of the battery is less than the preset power level, a re-monitoring request is sent to the target collaborative entity, requesting the target collaborative entity to re-monitor the entire area around the vehicle individually.

[0122] If the target collaborative subject agrees to monitor the entire area around the vehicle individually, then a message agreeing to re-monitor is sent to the vehicle controller.

[0123] When the vehicle controller receives the consent for re-monitoring information, it controls all monitoring modules of the vehicle to sleep. At this time, the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the target collaborative subject replaces the monitoring module of the vehicle to monitor the entire area around the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0124] At the same time, when the monitoring time of all the monitoring modules of the vehicle reaches the preset monitoring time and all the monitoring modules have not monitored the preset events, and / or the power is less than the preset power, the target collaborative entity is requested to perform separate monitoring again, and after receiving the consent for re-monitoring information sent by the target collaborative entity, all the monitoring modules of the vehicle are controlled to sleep again, thereby reducing the consumption of battery power caused by the activation of the monitoring modules and ensuring that the battery will not be fed back.

[0125] When the coverage of the collaborative subject corresponding to all directional feedback information cannot completely cover the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle, how to determine the monitoring module that can be dormant on the vehicle is related to the parking safety of the vehicle and the battery power consumption problem.

[0126] Based on this, in some embodiments, the step S332 controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on all the coverage areas, including:

[0127] Step S3321′: in response to each of the coverage areas being half-area coverage, the first vehicle-side controller sends a collaborative monitoring request instruction to each of the collaborative entities corresponding to the coverage areas;

[0128] Step S3322′, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the collaborative monitoring consent information sent by the collaborative subject, the first vehicle-side controller controls the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on the collaborative monitoring consent information.

[0129] Specifically, when the vehicle is controlled to enter the target mode or the sleep mode based on all the coverage ranges, if each of the coverage ranges is half-area coverage, it means that the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the collaborative entity corresponding to each of the coverage ranges can only monitor part of the area around the vehicle and cannot monitor the entire area around the vehicle.

[0130] Then, at this time, multiple collaborative entities are required to collaboratively monitor the area around the vehicle, so a collaborative monitoring request instruction is sent to each collaborative entity corresponding to the coverage area. When the collaborative entity receives the collaborative monitoring instruction and agrees to monitor the area around the vehicle, it sends collaborative monitoring consent information to the vehicle controller of the vehicle.

[0131] When the vehicle controller receives at least one piece of agreed collaborative monitoring information, it controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the at least one piece of agreed collaborative monitoring information.

[0132] Specifically, because the coverage of each collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information may be the same or different, the sum of the coverage corresponding to multiple collaborative subjects may cover the entire vehicle and the entire area around the vehicle, or may partially cover the area around the vehicle.

[0133] Therefore, when the sum of the coverage areas corresponding to multiple collaborative entities covers the vehicle and all areas around the vehicle, all monitoring modules of the vehicle can be controlled to sleep to control the vehicle to enter sleep mode. At this time, all monitoring modules on the vehicle are not working, reducing the consumption of the vehicle battery. At the same time, the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the collaborative entity corresponding to the collaborative monitoring information replaces the vehicle's monitoring module to execute monitoring instructions for the vehicle's surrounding conditions.

[0134] When the sum of the coverage areas corresponding to multiple collaborative entities covers the vehicle and part of the area around the vehicle, some monitoring modules of the vehicle can be controlled to sleep to control the vehicle to enter the target mode. At this time, some monitoring modules on the vehicle do not work, reducing the consumption of the vehicle battery. The monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the collaborative entity corresponding to the collaborative monitoring information replaces the dormant monitoring module of the vehicle to execute the monitoring instructions for the situation around the vehicle.

[0135] In the present application, when each of the coverage areas is semi-area coverage, a collaborative monitoring instruction request is sent to each of the collaborative entities corresponding to the coverage areas, and then the monitoring modules on the vehicle that can be dormant are determined based on at least one piece of collaborative monitoring information received, and then these monitoring modules are controlled to be dormant to control all or part of the monitoring modules of the vehicle to be dormant, thereby reducing the battery power consumption when the monitoring modules are turned on. At the same time, the collaborative entity corresponding to the collaborative monitoring information agrees to monitor the situation around the vehicle instead of the dormant monitoring module to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0136] In some embodiments, the step S3322′ controls the vehicle to enter a target mode or a sleep mode based on the agreed collaborative monitoring information, including:

[0137] Step S33221′, determining the collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information as the target collaborative subject;

[0138] Step S33222′, determining the coverage range corresponding to the target collaborative entity as the target coverage range;

[0139] Step S33223′, determining the monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range among all the monitoring modules of the vehicle as target monitoring modules;

[0140] Step S33224′, control the target monitoring module to sleep, so as to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode.

[0141] Specifically, the collaborative subject corresponding to at least one piece of agreed collaborative monitoring information is determined as a target collaborative subject, and the coverage range corresponding to the target collaborative subject is determined as a target coverage range. That is, each collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information is determined as a target collaborative subject, and the coverage range corresponding to each target collaborative subject is determined as a target coverage range.

[0142] In this way, there may be multiple target collaboration entities and multiple target coverage areas, or there may be only one target collaboration entity and one target coverage area.

[0143] No matter there are multiple target coverage ranges or only one target coverage range, the monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range among all monitoring modules of the vehicle are determined as target monitoring modules.

[0144] Among them, since the target monitoring module is covered by the target coverage range, the area that can be monitored by the target monitoring module and the area that can be monitored by the monitoring equipment of the target collaborative subject corresponding to the target coverage range basically overlap. Therefore, if the target monitoring module and the monitoring equipment of the target collaborative subject are turned on at the same time, it will lead to repeated monitoring, and it is also disadvantageous to the power supply equipment of the vehicle and the target collaborative subject.

[0145] Therefore, the target monitoring module is controlled to sleep so as to control the vehicle to enter the target mode or the sleep mode. At this time, after the target monitoring module of the vehicle is asleep, the target cooperative subject monitors the area around the vehicle.

[0146] Exemplarily, in response to receiving two pieces of agreed collaborative monitoring information, the collaborative subjects corresponding to the two pieces of agreed collaborative monitoring information are both determined as target collaborative subjects, and the target coverage ranges corresponding to the two target collaborative subjects are "the area corresponding to the right door of the vehicle" and "the area corresponding to the left door of the vehicle", respectively.

[0147] Then, among all the monitoring modules of the vehicle, the monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range "the area corresponding to the right door of the vehicle" and "the area corresponding to the left door of the vehicle", that is, the monitoring module on the right door of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the left door of the vehicle are all determined as target monitoring modules.

[0148] Then, the target monitoring module, ie, the monitoring module on the right door of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the left door of the vehicle, is controlled to be dormant to control the vehicle to enter the target mode.

[0149] At this time, the monitoring module on the front of the vehicle, the monitoring module on the rear of the vehicle and the monitoring equipment / camera equipment of the two target collaborative entities perform monitoring work at the same time, so as to ensure that all areas around the vehicle can be monitored to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking. At the same time, the monitoring module on the right door of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the left door of the vehicle are dormant, and only the monitoring module on the front of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the rear of the vehicle are working, which can reduce the consumption of battery power when turning on the monitoring modules, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0150] Exemplarily, in response to receiving four pieces of information agreeing to collaborative monitoring, the collaborative subjects corresponding to the four pieces of information agreeing to collaborative monitoring are all determined as target collaborative subjects, and the target coverage ranges corresponding to the four target collaborative subjects are "the area corresponding to the right door of the vehicle", "the area corresponding to the left door of the vehicle", "the area corresponding to the front of the vehicle" and "the area corresponding to the rear of the vehicle".

[0151] Then, among all the monitoring modules of the vehicle, the monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range “the area corresponding to the right door of the vehicle”, “the area corresponding to the left door of the vehicle”, “the area corresponding to the front of the vehicle” and “the area corresponding to the rear of the vehicle”, that is, the monitoring module on the right door of the vehicle, the monitoring module on the left door of the vehicle, the monitoring module on the front of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the rear of the vehicle are all determined as target monitoring modules.

[0152] Then, the target monitoring modules, namely the monitoring module on the right door of the vehicle, the monitoring module on the left door of the vehicle, the monitoring module on the front of the vehicle and the monitoring module on the rear of the vehicle are all determined to be dormant target monitoring modules to control the vehicle to enter dormant mode.

[0153] At this time, all monitoring modules on the vehicle are in sleep mode, and the monitoring of all areas around the vehicle is carried out by the monitoring equipment / camera equipment of the target collaborative entity. This ensures that all areas around the vehicle can be monitored to ensure the safety of the vehicle during parking. At the same time, the sleep mode of all monitoring modules of the vehicle can reduce the consumption of battery power by turning on the monitoring modules, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0154] In the present application, at least one collaborative subject corresponding to the agreed collaborative monitoring information is determined as the target collaborative subject, the coverage range corresponding to the target collaborative subject is determined as the target coverage range, and then the monitoring modules covered by the target coverage range in all the monitoring modules of the vehicle are determined as target monitoring modules and the target monitoring modules are controlled to sleep. In this way, the sleep state of the target monitoring module can reduce the consumption of battery power by turning on the monitoring module, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range; at the same time, the monitoring equipment or camera equipment of the target collaborative subject can replace the dormant target monitoring module to monitor the area around the vehicle, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during parking.

[0155] When the road-side communication equipment is other vehicles, during collaborative monitoring, it is impossible for only other vehicles to perform collaborative detection, but it is necessary for this vehicle and other vehicles to poll and monitor together. Therefore, how to conduct polling monitoring of this vehicle and other vehicles is an issue that urgently needs attention.

[0156] Based on this, in some embodiments, after the first vehicle-side controller controls the target monitoring module to sleep in step S33224′, the method further includes:

[0157] In response to the target collaborative subject being the second vehicle end, the first vehicle end controller monitors the sleep duration of the target monitoring module, and in response to the sleep duration reaching a preset sleep duration, controls the target monitoring module to start and sends a sleep request to the target collaborative subject;

[0158] Alternatively, in response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the departure information sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller receives the monitoring information sent by the target collaborative entity, and controls the target monitoring module to start.

[0159] Specifically, the cooperative subject may include a second vehicle end or a road end subject. The second vehicle end is a vehicle end other than the vehicle. For example, the cooperative subject may be another vehicle parked adjacent to, at the front of, or at the rear of the vehicle. The road end subject may be a camera or monitoring device fixed on the roadside. For example, the road end subject may be a roadside camera, etc.

[0160] When the target collaborative subject is another vehicle, when a link is established with the target collaborative subject, it is determined that the vehicle and the target collaborative subject are monitored by polling.

[0161] For example, when the request for collaboration instruction is initially sent, the request for collaboration instruction already includes the polling monitoring method and the time of each polling monitoring. If the collaborative subject agrees to the collaborative monitoring and agrees to monitor through polling monitoring, then a collaboration consent instruction will be sent to the vehicle controller of this vehicle.

[0162] Therefore, after controlling the target monitoring module to sleep in step S33224′, it is necessary to determine whether the target collaborative entity is the second vehicle end.

[0163] When it is determined that the target cooperative subject is the second vehicle end, the vehicle needs to perform polling monitoring with the target cooperative subject. Therefore, after controlling the target monitoring module to sleep, the sleep duration of the target monitoring module is monitored. When the sleep duration reaches the preset sleep duration, the target monitoring module is controlled to start and send a sleep request to the target cooperative subject.

[0164] Among them, the preset sleep time is the preset polling monitoring / sleep time. When the sleep time of the target monitoring module reaches the preset sleep time, it means that the monitoring time of the target collaborative subject has also reached the preset sleep time. Therefore, it is necessary to start the target monitoring module and start monitoring.

[0165] At the same time, a sleep request is sent to the target collaborative subject. After receiving the sleep request, the target collaborative subject can control the corresponding monitoring device to sleep. At this time, the target monitoring module of the vehicle monitors the common area of ​​the vehicle and the target collaborative subject to improve the parking safety of the vehicle and the target collaborative subject.

[0166] In addition, after controlling the target monitoring module to sleep, if the target collaborative subject receives the leaving information sent by the target collaborative subject, indicating that the target collaborative subject is about to leave the area, then the monitoring information sent by the target collaborative subject is received and the target monitoring module is controlled to start.

[0167] The monitoring information is the monitoring information stored when the monitoring device of the target cooperative subject replaces the target monitoring module of the vehicle for monitoring. The monitoring information is usually a video file.

[0168] When receiving the departure information sent by the target collaborative subject, since the target collaborative subject is about to leave the area and cannot cooperate with the vehicle for monitoring, the target monitoring module is controlled to start to monitor the area around the vehicle in real time to ensure the parking safety of the vehicle.

[0169] In the present application, after controlling the target monitoring module to sleep, if it is determined that the target collaborative entity is the second vehicle end, then it is necessary to continuously monitor the sleep time of the target monitoring module. When the sleep time reaches the preset sleep time, it is necessary to turn on the target monitoring module. At this time, the target monitoring module monitors the same area between the vehicle and the target collaborative entity to achieve polling monitoring of the vehicle (ie, the first vehicle end) and the target collaborative entity (ie, the second vehicle end), further reducing the consumption of the battery power of the monitoring equipment of the target collaborative entity, and achieving mutual benefit between the vehicle and the target collaborative entity.

[0170] In some embodiments, after the first vehicle-side controller controls the target monitoring module to start and sends a sleep request to the target collaborative entity, the method further includes:

[0171] The first vehicle-side controller monitors the start time of the target monitoring module and the power level of the vehicle battery;

[0172] In response to the on-time reaching a preset on-time and / or the power being less than a preset power, the first vehicle-side controller sends a re-awakening request to the target collaborative subject;

[0173] In response to the first vehicle-side controller receiving the re-wake-up information sent by the target collaborative entity, the first vehicle-side controller controls the target monitoring module to sleep.

[0174] Specifically, after the target monitoring module is turned on and a sleep request is sent to the target collaborative subject, the start time of the target monitoring module and the power of the vehicle battery are monitored. When the start time reaches the preset start time, it means that the start time of the target monitoring module has reached the agreed start time, and the sleep time of the monitoring device of the target collaborative subject has also reached the agreed time. At this time, a re-wake-up request is sent to the target collaborative subject, requesting the target collaborative subject to start the next polling monitoring.

[0175] When the target collaborative subject receives the re-awakening request, if it agrees to conduct the next polling monitoring, it will start its monitoring device for monitoring and send a re-awakening message to the vehicle controller of this vehicle. After the vehicle controller of this vehicle receives the re-awakening message, it means that the target collaborative subject has started monitoring at this time, so the target monitoring module is controlled to sleep to reduce the consumption of the vehicle battery when the target monitoring module is turned on.

[0176] Alternatively, after the target monitoring module is controlled to start and a sleep request is sent to the target collaborative entity, when it is monitored that the battery power is less than the preset power, it means that the battery power has reached the minimum value. If the target monitoring module continues to be powered, it may cause battery power feeding. In this case, a re-wake-up request is sent to the target collaborative entity, requesting the target collaborative entity to start the next polling monitoring.

[0177] When the target collaborative subject receives the re-awakening request, if it agrees to conduct the next polling monitoring, it will start its monitoring device for monitoring and send a re-awakening message to the vehicle controller of this vehicle. After the vehicle controller of this vehicle receives the re-awakening message, it means that the target collaborative subject has started monitoring at this time, so the target monitoring module is controlled to sleep to reduce the consumption of the vehicle battery when the target monitoring module is turned on.

[0178] In the present application, after controlling the target monitoring module to turn on and sending a sleep request to the target collaborative entity, it is necessary to continue to monitor the start time of the target monitoring module and the power of the vehicle battery. When the start time reaches the preset start time, the target collaborative entity needs to perform the next polling monitoring, and / or the battery power is less than the preset power so that the battery power is insufficient to support the target monitoring module to continue monitoring, a re-wake-up request is sent to the target collaborative entity. After receiving the re-wake-up information, the target monitoring module is controlled to sleep. At this time, the monitoring device of the target collaborative entity continues to monitor instead of the sleepy target monitoring module to ensure the parking safety of the vehicle.

[0179] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , the vehicle control method further includes:

[0180] The first scenario: The collaborative subject is a road-side camera device:

[0181] The user parks the vehicle at a certain location and turns on the smart sentry mode through the mobile phone or the vehicle computer (i.e. receives a command to turn on monitoring).

[0182] When the vehicle controller detects that the user has left the vehicle and the vehicle is powered off, it scans and monitors the vehicle's surroundings to check whether there are any networked cameras in the vehicle's parking area (i.e., sends a request for collaboration).

[0183] If there is no available camera equipment around (i.e. no consent to collaborate command is received), the sentry mode is normally turned on to monitor vehicle safety; if there is an available camera equipment around (i.e. a consent to collaborate command is received), proceed to the next step.

[0184] The vehicle is matched with a stand-alone / networked roadside camera device (i.e., a collaborative subject) to obtain permission (i.e., sending a request location command and receiving location information; or, first verifying by sending verification codes to each other, then sending a request location command and receiving location information).

[0185] After the matching is successful, all or part of the vehicle's radars and sensors are put into sleep mode (i.e., the vehicle is controlled to enter target mode or sleep mode).

[0186] The roadside device monitors and detects a moving object within a 5m radius (customizable by the user) of the vehicle, the roadside device interacts with the vehicle side to wake up the vehicle. After the vehicle side wakes up, the radar and sensors are enabled (i.e., in response to receiving the wake-up command sent by the target collaborative subject, all monitoring modules of the vehicle are controlled to turn on).

[0187] Radars and sensors monitor vehicle scratches, collisions, vibrations, sounds and other events. When any event occurs, the vehicle and road ends save the video and results of the monitoring process, forward them to the host and upload them to the cloud to notify the user.

[0188] After the user powers on the vehicle, the host pops up a window to remind the user that the vehicle may have been scratched or other abnormal events, and presents the video on the host interface. The user can click on the video to play it.

[0189] The user can choose to support sentinel mode on both the vehicle side and the road side, or only on the road side or the vehicle side. When only the vehicle side is supported, the road side can be notified to continue monitoring after the vehicle side power alarm; after the vehicle side power is restored, the connection with the road side device is re-established, and the road side device transmits the video back to the vehicle side (i.e., in response to the monitoring time reaching the preset monitoring time and all the monitoring modules not detecting the preset event, and / or the power is less than the preset power, a re-monitoring request is sent to the target collaborative subject).

[0190] The second scenario: The collaborative subject is other vehicles:

[0191] When there are other vehicles with sentry mode around the vehicle within the mutual monitoring range, a link can be established through Bluetooth, WIFI, V2X and other communication methods, and a rotation monitoring method can be adopted within the angle / range where mutual monitoring can be achieved to save power (i.e., the target monitoring module of this vehicle can be controlled to sleep first, and the sleep duration of the target monitoring module can be monitored after sleep. In response to the sleep duration reaching the preset sleep duration, the target monitoring module can be controlled to turn on).

[0192] When a vehicle is scratched or collided, the other party can save the video and results of the monitoring process, send them to the vehicle, upload them to the cloud, and notify the user. The more vehicles with sentry mode around, the fewer monitoring components the vehicle needs to turn on, and the more power the vehicle saves.

[0193] This application is based on the interaction between the vehicle and road-side equipment / other vehicle-side equipment, making full use of existing resources, reducing the usage time of vehicle radars and sensors, and reducing the battery power consumed during the sentry mode by reducing the working time of radars and sensors, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0194] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present application can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present application, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

[0195] It should be noted that some embodiments of the present application are described above.
