Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of vehicle control, and particularly relates to a method, device, and equipment for unlocking and locking control of a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle locates the user by detecting the Bluetooth signal value of the user's mobile phone within the coverage of the Bluetooth antenna. However, the coverage of the Bluetooth antenna will form a semi-circular fan effect due to the occlusion of metal. When the user's mobile phone is in the rear trunk area and the front area of the vehicle, the Bluetooth signal of the mobile phone will attenuate to a signal strength similar to that when it is far from the locked state. This will cause the vehicle to perform unexpected locking behavior when the user just closes the door and gets out of the car, and then crosses the front or rear of the vehicle to open the charging port cover for charging, affecting the user experience.

[0003] Therefore, how to avoid the vehicle automatically locking and affecting the user experience in the scenario where the user has a charging requirement is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] In addition, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are provided to give a full understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will realize that the technical solutions of the present application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be adopted. In other cases, well-known methods, devices, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the present application.

[0028] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are only functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0029] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only illustrative and do not necessarily include all contents and operations / steps, nor do they have to be executed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, while some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to the actual situation.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, first, a simple description of the application scenario of the unlocking and locking control method for the vehicle involved in the present application will be given in combination with Figure 1 the vehicle involved in the present application will be given.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the area between the user terminal and the vehicle can be divided according to the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle. Among them, the R1 area corresponds to the area inside the vehicle; the R2 area corresponds to the area of the rear tailgate; the R3 area corresponds to the Bluetooth unlocking area, which can be the area within 3 meters from the vehicle and excluding R1 and R2. When the user terminal is in the R3 area, the vehicle will be automatically unlocked; the R4 area corresponds to the Bluetooth locking area, which can be the area from 3 meters to 6 meters from the vehicle and excluding R1 and R3. When the user terminal is in the R4 area, the vehicle will be automatically locked due to the semi-circular fan effect; the R5 area corresponds to the area where the welcome light is lit, which can be the area from 6 meters to 9 meters from the vehicle and excluding R1, R2, R3, and R4. When the user terminal is in the R5 area, the vehicle will automatically light up the welcome light; the R6 area corresponds to the Bluetooth disconnection area, which can be the area more than 9 meters from the vehicle. When the user terminal is in the R6 area, the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user terminal will be automatically disconnected.

[0032] It can be understood that the coverage range of the Bluetooth antenna will form a semi-circular fan effect due to the occlusion of metal. When the user terminal is in the Bluetooth locking area R4, the Bluetooth signal strength will attenuate to a level similar to that when it is far from the locking state. This will cause the vehicle to perform unexpected locking behavior when the user just closes the door and gets out of the car, and then crosses the front or rear of the vehicle to open the charging port cover for charging, affecting the user experience.

[0033] In response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, this application determines the opening and closing state of the charging port cover after a preset duration has elapsed. If the charging port cover is open, the vehicle remains unlocked until the user terminal enters the Bluetooth-disconnected area R6 and then locks; in the case where the opening and closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock. It should be noted that when the charging port cover is open, this application takes into account that during actual charging, after the user opens the charging port cover, they may also need to organize the cable, unplug and plug the gun into the vehicle, and scan the code to start charging, and the completion time of these steps may be very long or very short. For example, if the cable is long, the completion time of these steps may be very long, and if the user plugs and charges immediately and leaves, the completion time of these steps is very short. If the vehicle's unlocking and locking are controlled by time, setting the time too long or too short will result in unreasonable control. This application innovatively adopts the strategy of keeping the vehicle unlocked until the user terminal enters the Bluetooth-disconnected area R6 and then locks, avoiding unexpected locking behavior of the vehicle when the charging port cover is open. In addition, this application determines the opening and closing state of the charging port cover only after the preset duration has elapsed. In the case where the charging port cover is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock. That is to say, when the Bluetooth signal strength decays to the locking signal strength, it takes a preset duration (such as 10 s) to execute the locking, rather than immediately controlling the execution of the locking, which not only avoids the vehicle locking when the user is active in the Bluetooth-locking area R4 for a short time, but also avoids unexpected locking behavior of the vehicle due to the occasional jump of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal resulting in the Bluetooth signal strength decaying to the locking signal strength.

[0034] Figure 2 The flowchart shows the unlocking and locking control method of a vehicle according to some embodiments of this application. As Figure 2 shown, a vehicle unlocking and locking control method is provided. Taking this method applied to a vehicle as an example for illustration, this method may include the following steps 201 to 203.

[0035] In step 201, in response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined after a preset duration has elapsed.

[0036] Among them, the user terminal is a terminal device carried by the user, which may be a mobile device such as a user's mobile phone or tablet computer. The specific form of the user terminal in the embodiments of this application is not limited.

[0037] In the implementation process, the vehicle can obtain the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal in real time. Generally, when the user gets out of the vehicle and moves away from it, the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal obtained by the vehicle will attenuate. As described above, when the user is in the Bluetooth locking area R4, due to the semi-circular fan effect, the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal obtained by the vehicle will attenuate to the locking signal intensity. In this application, it is not necessary to specifically calculate the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle using the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal. It is only necessary to detect the change trend of the Bluetooth signal intensity of the user terminal and determine whether the Bluetooth signal intensity of the user terminal remains attenuated and attenuates to the locking signal intensity. When the Bluetooth signal intensity of the user terminal attenuates to the locking signal intensity, the vehicle will not be immediately controlled to lock. Instead, after the preset duration arrives, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover will be determined, and then it will be judged whether to unlock or lock according to the opening and closing state.

[0038] Among them, the locking signal intensity and the preset duration can be set according to the actual situation, and the specific values of the locking signal intensity and the preset duration are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0039] In some embodiments, the preset duration can be determined according to the maximum distance between the vehicle and the Bluetooth locking area.

[0040] Among them, the Bluetooth locking area refers to the area where the vehicle will automatically lock due to the Bluetooth semi-circular fan effect, and its range can refer to R4.

[0041] In the implementation process, the normal walking speed of the user can be estimated, and the maximum distance between the vehicle and the Bluetooth locking area R4 is divided by the walking speed to obtain the preset duration. Within this preset duration, the vehicle will not perform locking, so as to avoid the vehicle being locked unexpectedly when the user returns from the Bluetooth locking area R4 to the vehicle.

[0042] In step 202, when the opening and closing state is open, keep the vehicle unlocked until the user terminal is in the Bluetooth disconnection area and then lock it.

[0043] Among them, the Bluetooth disconnection area is the area where the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal is disconnected, and its range can refer to R6.

[0044] It can be understood that when the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is open, it can be determined that the user has a charging requirement. If the user only moves slightly within the Bluetooth locking area R4 after opening the charging port cover, or if the user needs to complete steps such as organizing the cable, unplugging and plugging the gun into the vehicle, and scanning the code to start charging after opening the charging port cover, the vehicle should remain unlocked during this period.

[0045] It should be noted that the time for the user to organize the cable, unplug and plug the gun into the vehicle, and scan the code to start charging may be very long or very short. For example, if the cable is long, the completion time of these steps may be very long; if the user plugs and charges immediately and leaves, the completion time of these steps is very short. If the vehicle unlocking and locking are controlled by time, unreasonable control will occur whether the time is set too long or too short. Considering this problem, in the embodiment of the present application, when the charging port cover is open, the strategy of controlling locking by time is not adopted, but the strategy of locking until the user terminal is in the Bluetooth disconnected area R6 is adopted, avoiding unexpected locking behavior of the vehicle.

[0046] In step 203, when the opening and closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock.

[0047] It can be understood that in the present application, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined only after the preset duration arrives. When the charging port cover is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock. That is to say, when the Bluetooth signal strength decays to the locking signal strength, it takes a preset duration (such as 10 s) to execute the locking instead of immediately controlling the execution of locking. This not only avoids the vehicle locking when the user is active in the Bluetooth locking area R4 for a short time, but also avoids the unexpected locking behavior of the vehicle after the Bluetooth signal strength decays to the locking signal strength due to the occasional jump of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, in response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined after the preset duration arrives; when the opening and closing state is open, the vehicle is kept unlocked until the user terminal is in the Bluetooth disconnected area and then locked; when the opening and closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock. This solution can ensure that the vehicle will not be unlocked and move away when the user moves back and forth during the charging process near the vehicle, and also realizes the seamless locking when the user directly leaves the vehicle, improving the user experience in scenarios with charging requirements.

[0049] Figure 3 The flowchart of the unlocking and locking control method of the vehicle according to some other embodiments of the present application is shown. As Figure 3 shown, another unlocking and locking control method of the vehicle is provided. Taking this method applied to the vehicle as an example for description, this method may include the following steps 301 to 303.

[0050] In step 301, in response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined after the preset duration arrives.

[0051] In step 302, when the opening and closing state is open, the vehicle is kept unlocked until the user terminal is in the Bluetooth disconnected area and then locked.

[0052] In step 303, when the opening / closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to be locked, and an unlocking signal is received from the charging pile. When the unlocking signal is successfully received, the vehicle is controlled to be unlocked.

[0053] In step 301, the vehicle can obtain the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal in real time. Generally, when the user gets out of the vehicle and moves away from it, the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal obtained by the vehicle will attenuate. As described above, when the user is in the Bluetooth locking area R4, due to the semi-circular fan effect, the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal obtained by the vehicle will attenuate to the locking signal intensity. In this application, it is not necessary to specifically calculate the distance between the user terminal and the vehicle using the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal. It is only necessary to detect the change trend of the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal and determine whether the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal remains attenuated and attenuates to the locking signal intensity. When the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal attenuates to the locking signal intensity, the vehicle is not immediately controlled to be locked. Instead, after the preset time period arrives, the opening / closing state of the charging port cover is determined, and then whether to unlock or lock is judged according to the opening / closing state.

[0054] In step 302, when the opening / closing state of the charging port cover is open, it can be determined that the user has a charging requirement. If the user only moves a small distance within the Bluetooth locking area R4 after opening the charging port cover, or if the user needs to complete steps such as organizing the cable, unplugging and plugging the gun into the vehicle, and scanning the code to start charging after opening the charging port cover, the vehicle should remain unlocked during this time period.

[0055] It should be noted that the time for the user to organize the cable, unplug and plug the gun into the vehicle, and scan the code to start charging may be very long or very short. For example, if the cable is long, the time to complete these steps may be very long. If the user plugs in and charges immediately and leaves, the time to complete these steps is very short. If the unlocking and locking of the vehicle are controlled by time, setting the time too long or too short will result in unreasonable control. In the embodiment of this application, considering this problem, when the charging port cover is open, the strategy of controlling locking by time is not adopted, but the strategy of locking until the user terminal is in the Bluetooth disconnection area R6 is adopted, avoiding unexpected locking behavior of the vehicle.

[0056] In step 303, it should be noted that different users have different operating habits when they have a charging need. Some users will first open the charging port cover, then organize the cable, unplug the charging gun and plug it into the vehicle, and scan the code to start charging; some users will first organize the cable and pick up the charging gun, and then open the charging port cover. Step 302 is for the case where the user first opens the charging port cover, and step 302 is for the case where the user opens the charging port cover later. In the case of opening the charging port cover later, during the process of the user picking up the charging gun, the time may have already exceeded the preset duration. At this time, although the charging port cover is not opened, the user still needs to charge. Since after reaching the preset duration, if the charging port cover is closed, the vehicle will be controlled to lock. To avoid the user having to unlock the vehicle after completing the charging operation, in the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle will communicate with the charging pile, receive an unlocking signal from the charging pile, and control the vehicle to unlock when the unlocking signal is successfully received.

[0057] The charging pile can determine that the user needs to charge through the user's operation on the charging pile and send an unlocking signal to the vehicle. The charging pile and the vehicle can communicate through V2X to ensure the real-time performance and reliability of the communication.

[0058] In some embodiments, in order to enable the charging pile to actively send an unlocking signal to the vehicle, a grip sensor can be set at the charging gun of the charging pile, and the charging pile sends an unlocking signal based on the grip force magnitude detected by the grip sensor.

[0059] It can be understood that the grip sensor is a device used to measure the grip force or grasping force, which can convert the grip force into an electrical signal for easy reading and analysis, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, durability, and portability.

[0060] In the implementation process, the grip sensor can obtain the grip force magnitude of the user holding the charging gun in real time, or can collect the change trend signal of the user's grip force. After the charging pile obtains the grip force magnitude and the change trend signal of the grip force, it can send the unlocking signal to the vehicle through V2X communication. Through the design of the grip sensor of the charging gun, the convenience of transmitting the unlocking signal to the vehicle is improved.

[0061] In some embodiments, after controlling the vehicle to unlock, the vehicle can also receive a shielding locking signal from the charging pile; when the shielding locking signal is successfully received, the vehicle is controlled to maintain the unlocked state.

[0062] It can be understood that the shielding locking signal is different from the unlocking signal. After the vehicle receives the shielding locking signal, it will shield the locking signal, thereby keeping the vehicle in the unlocked state and preventing frequent locking and unlocking.

[0063] During implementation, the shielding and locking signal is sent by the charging pile based on the holding duration detected by the grip sensor. In some embodiments, when the holding duration detected by the grip sensor indicates that the user has been holding the charging gun, the charging pile continuously sends a shielding and locking signal to the vehicle to inform the vehicle to continuously shield and lock the signal. In other embodiments, when the holding duration detected by the grip sensor indicates that the user is not holding the charging gun, the charging pile sends a cancellation of the shielding and locking signal to the vehicle to inform the vehicle to cancel the shielding and locking signal.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, in response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined after a preset duration has elapsed. When the opening and closing state is open, the vehicle is kept unlocked until the user terminal enters a Bluetooth-disconnected area and then locked. When the opening and closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to lock, and an unlocking signal is received from the charging pile. When the unlocking signal is successfully received, the vehicle is controlled to unlock. By designing for the vehicle to receive an unlocking signal from the charging pile and controlling the vehicle to unlock according to different charging habits of users in the charging scenario, the user experience in scenarios with charging requirements is further improved.

[0065] The following introduces the device embodiments of the present application, which can be used to execute the unlocking and locking control method of the vehicle in the above embodiments of the present application. For details not disclosed in the device embodiments of the present application, please refer to the embodiments of the unlocking and locking control method of the vehicle above in the present application.

[0066] Figure 4 The block diagram of the unlocking and locking control device of the vehicle according to some embodiments of the present application is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the unlocking and locking control device of the vehicle in the embodiments of the present application is applied to the vehicle, and the device may include: a charging port cover detection module 401, a first unlocking and locking control module 402, and a second unlocking and locking control module 403.

[0067] In some embodiments, the charging port cover detection module 401 may also be configured to determine the preset duration according to the maximum distance between the vehicle and the Bluetooth locking area.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second unlocking and locking control module 403 may also be configured to receive an unlocking signal from the charging pile; when the unlocking signal is successfully received, control the vehicle to unlock.

[0069] In some embodiments, a grip sensor is provided on the charging gun of the charging pile, and the unlocking signal is sent by the charging pile based on the magnitude of the grip force detected by the grip sensor.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second unlocking and locking control module 403 may also be configured to receive a shielding locking signal from the charging pile; and in the case where the shielding locking signal is successfully received, control the vehicle to remain in the unlocked state.

[0071] In some embodiments, the shielding locking signal is sent by the charging pile based on the duration of the grip force detected by the grip sensor.

[0072] In this application, in response to the Bluetooth signal strength of the user terminal decaying to the locking signal strength, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined after a preset duration; in the case where the opening and closing state is open, the vehicle is kept unlocked until the user terminal is in a Bluetooth-disconnected area and then locked; in the case where the opening and closing state is closed, the vehicle is controlled to be locked. This solution can ensure that the vehicle does not move away from locking when the user moves back and forth during the charging process near the vehicle, and also realizes the seamless locking when the user directly leaves the vehicle, improving the user experience in scenarios where there is a charging requirement.
