[0029] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application.

[0030] It should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, elements defined by the statement "comprising..." do not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said elements.

[0031] The vehicle timing method provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 1Schematic structural diagram of a timing device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The timing device mainly includes a satellite positioning chip, a processor, a communication component, a clock chip, and a rechargeable power source. In one example, the satellite positioning chip can be a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning chip, and the processor can be an STM32L4 processor. The STM32L4 processor is a low-power microcontroller unit (MCU). The communication component can be a CAN transceiver, the clock chip can be a PCF2131 high-precision clock chip, and the rechargeable power source can be a 4.2V rechargeable lithium battery for power supply.

[0033] The satellite positioning chip is used to receive satellite signals to obtain satellite time. The clock chip is used for timing and timing control. The timing device can access the vehicle bus through the communication component to synchronize the time of the vehicle. The rechargeable power source can be used to supply power to the timing device when the vehicle is powered off.

[0034] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 is an application environment diagram of the timing device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The timing device communicates with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle. Specifically, the timing device can communicate with the electronic control unit through a CAN transceiver.

[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 is one of the flowcharts of the vehicle timing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle includes a timing device, and the timing device includes a satellite positioning chip and a clock chip. As Figure 3 shown, the timing method can include the following steps:

[0036] Step 301: Perform timing through the clock chip.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the clock chip can perform timing to synchronize the time of each component inside the system for vehicle timing. In one example, the clock chip can be a high-precision PCF2131 clock chip. The PCF2131 clock chip is a low-power real-time clock chip with an error accuracy of ±3ppm and a daily error of less than 260ms, so it has high accuracy.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, the clock chip can always remain in the working state. When the vehicle is in the powered-on state, the timing device can be powered by the vehicle power supply, so that the clock chip remains in the working state. When the vehicle is in the powered-off state, the timing device can be powered by the rechargeable power supply inside the timing device, so that the clock chip remains in the working state.

[0039] Step 302: If the first condition is satisfied, wake up the satellite positioning chip; wherein, the first condition includes reaching the wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip or receiving a wake-up signal for the satellite positioning chip.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, since the power consumption of the satellite positioning chip is relatively high, when the first condition is not satisfied, the satellite positioning chip is kept in the sleep state. When the first condition is satisfied, the satellite positioning chip is woken up.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the first condition can be understood as the wake-up condition of the satellite positioning chip. The first condition can include reaching the wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip or receiving a wake-up signal for the satellite positioning chip. The wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip can be a pre-set time. The wake-up time can be set periodically, for example, waking up once every 8 hours, or can be set to a fixed time point.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, when the satellite positioning chip is not woken up, the timing device is in the ultra-low power sleep state and automatically times through the clock chip.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the wake-up signal of the satellite positioning chip can be understood as the wake-up signal initiated by the user through a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone to wake up the satellite positioning chip. It can also be understood as the wake-up signal sent after the vehicle is powered on when the user starts the vehicle.

[0044] Step 303: Calibrate the time of the clock chip according to the satellite time in the satellite signal received by the satellite positioning chip.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, after the satellite positioning chip is woken up, the satellite positioning chip can receive satellite signals. The satellite signals can include the position and timestamp of the satellite. The timestamp can be understood as the precise time when the satellite sends the signal, that is, the satellite time. After obtaining the satellite time, the time of the clock chip can be calibrated according to the satellite time to improve the accuracy of the time of the clock chip.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, calibrating the time of the clock chip according to the satellite time in the satellite signal received by the satellite positioning chip can achieve an accuracy of milliseconds, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle timing.

[0047] Step 304: Perform vehicle timing according to the calibrated time of the clock chip.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the time of the clock chip is used to time the vehicle. When the time synchronization condition of the vehicle is met, the vehicle can be timed according to the calibrated time of the clock chip. Timing the vehicle according to the calibrated time of the clock chip means synchronizing the calibrated time of the clock chip to the time of the vehicle.

[0049] In one example, when the vehicle is powered on, the vehicle can be timed according to the calibrated time of the clock chip. In another example, when a time synchronization request of the vehicle is received, the vehicle can be timed according to the calibrated time of the clock chip.

[0050] For the time synchronization method of the vehicle in this embodiment, first, the clock chip is used for timing. If a first condition is met, the satellite positioning chip is awakened; wherein, the first condition includes reaching the wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip or receiving a wake-up signal for the satellite positioning chip; the time of the clock chip is calibrated according to the satellite time in the satellite signal received by the satellite positioning chip; the vehicle is timed according to the calibrated time of the clock chip. In this way, on the one hand, the solution of the present application utilizes the high-precision characteristic of satellite timing and combines the timing of the clock chip in the timing device to realize clock timing service immediately in any scenario. On the other hand, the satellite positioning chip can be awakened according to the wake-up time or wake-up signal of the satellite positioning chip, so that the time of the clock chip can be updated, and further, the accuracy of vehicle timing can be improved.

[0051] In some embodiments, after awakening the satellite positioning chip, the time synchronization method further includes:

[0052] When the satellite positioning chip does not receive a satellite signal, the vehicle is timed according to the timing time of the clock chip.

[0053] Specifically, when the satellite positioning chip does not receive a satellite signal, the satellite positioning chip cannot obtain the satellite time in the satellite signal. Since the clock chip keeps working, when the vehicle needs to be timed, the vehicle can be timed according to the timing time of the clock chip inside the timing device.

[0054] In this embodiment, by timing the vehicle according to the timing time of the clock chip when the satellite positioning chip does not receive a satellite signal, the vehicle can perform timing service immediately in an environment without satellite signals.

[0055] In some embodiments, after timing by the clock chip, the time synchronization method further includes:

[0056] When the satellite positioning chip is in a sleep state, the vehicle is timed according to the timing time of the clock chip.

[0057] Specifically, when the wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip is not reached, the satellite positioning chip is in a sleep state. At this time, the satellite positioning chip cannot receive satellite signals. Since the clock chip always remains in a working state, when the vehicle needs time synchronization, the vehicle can be synchronized according to the timing of the clock chip inside the time synchronization device.

[0058] In this embodiment, by synchronizing the vehicle according to the timing of the clock chip when the satellite positioning chip is in a sleep state, the vehicle can perform clock synchronization service immediately in any scenario.

[0059] In some embodiments, if the first condition is met, the satellite positioning chip is woken up, including:

[0060] When the working state of the vehicle is in a power-off state, if the first condition is met, the satellite positioning chip is woken up.

[0061] Specifically, the power-off state can be understood as the power-off state of the vehicle after disconnecting the power supply. When the working state of the vehicle is in a power-off state, it can be determined whether to wake up the satellite positioning chip according to whether the vehicle meets the first condition. If the wake-up time of the satellite positioning chip is reached or a wake-up signal for the satellite positioning chip is received, the satellite positioning chip is woken up.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is powered off, the satellite positioning chip is woken up through condition judgment, so that the satellite positioning chip does not need to always remain in a working state, thereby reducing the system power consumption.

[0063] In some embodiments, synchronizing the vehicle includes:

[0064] When the second condition is met, the vehicle is synchronized;

[0065] wherein the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0066] It is obtained that the working state of the vehicle changes from a power-off state to a power-on state;

[0067] A time synchronization request of the vehicle is received.

[0068] Specifically, the second condition can be understood as the condition that needs to be met for synchronizing the vehicle. The second condition can include but is not limited to obtaining that the working state of the vehicle changes from a power-off state to a power-on state, or receiving a time synchronization request of the vehicle, etc.

[0069] In one example, generally, at the moment when the vehicle is powered on, the vehicle needs to be time-synchronized. That is, when the working state of the vehicle changes from the powered-off state to the powered-on state, the vehicle needs to be time-synchronized. In another example, when a time-synchronization request of the vehicle is received, the vehicle also needs to be time-synchronized.

[0070] In this embodiment, by determining whether the second condition is satisfied before time-synchronizing the vehicle, the accuracy of vehicle time-synchronization can be improved.

[0071] In some embodiments, the time-synchronization device further includes a rechargeable power source, and the time-synchronization method further includes:

[0072] When the working state of the vehicle is the powered-off state, the time-synchronization device is powered by the rechargeable power source.

[0073] Specifically, the time-synchronization device may further include a rechargeable power source. The rechargeable power source can be used to power the time-synchronization device when the working state of the vehicle is in the powered-off state to ensure the operation of the clock chip and the satellite positioning chip. When the working state of the vehicle is in the powered-on state, the rechargeable power source can be charged by the vehicle's power supply. Optionally, the rechargeable power source can be a 4.2V rechargeable lithium battery for power supply.

[0074] In this embodiment, by setting a rechargeable power source in the time-synchronization device, it can be ensured that the time-synchronization device can also operate with low power consumption when the vehicle is powered off, improving the accuracy of vehicle time-synchronization.

[0075] In some embodiments, after timing by the clock chip, the time-synchronization method further includes:

[0076] When the working state of the vehicle is in the powered-on state, perform a detection operation on the environment where the vehicle is located to obtain an environment detection result;

[0077] When the environment detection result indicates that there is a satellite signal in the environment where the vehicle is located, wake up the satellite positioning chip to receive the satellite signal;

[0078] Calibrate the time of the clock chip according to the satellite time in the satellite signal received by the satellite positioning chip;

[0079] Synchronize the vehicle according to the calibrated time of the clock chip.

[0080] Specifically, when the vehicle is in the powered-on state, the vehicle environment can also be detected, and based on the environment detection result, it is determined whether the satellite positioning chip needs to be awakened. When the environment where the vehicle is located supports receiving satellite signals, the environment detection result indicates that there are satellite signals in the vehicle environment. In one example, the environment type that supports receiving satellite signals can be an outdoor environment, and the environment types that do not support receiving satellite signals can be an indoor environment, a tunnel, an underground garage, etc.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, when the environment detection result indicates that there are satellite signals in the vehicle environment, the satellite positioning chip is awakened to receive satellite signals. After the satellite positioning chip is awakened, it can receive satellite signals and the satellite time included in the satellite signals. Then, the time of the clock chip is calibrated according to the satellite time, and the vehicle is timed according to the time calibrated by the clock chip.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in the powered-on state, by receiving the satellite time and performing time calibration before timing the vehicle, the accuracy of vehicle timing can be improved.

[0083] It should be noted that the various optional implementation manners described in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other or implemented separately without conflict, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations in this regard.

[0084] For ease of understanding, a specific embodiment is used as an example for illustration:

[0085] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 is the second flowchart of a vehicle timing method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the vehicle timing method may include the following steps:

[0086] S1: Initialize the GNSS chip;

[0087] S2: Determine whether a wake-up signal is received. If not, proceed to S3; if so, proceed to S4;

[0088] S3: Internal clock timing;

[0089] S4: Wake up the GNSS chip;

[0090] S5: Obtain satellite timing;

[0091] S6: Calibrate the internal clock;

[0092] S7: Determine whether a timing synchronization request is received. If so, proceed to S8;

[0093] S8: Perform external timing through CAN;

[0094] S9: Determine whether it is 8 hours apart. If so, go to S4; if not, go to S3.

[0095] In this specific embodiment, the specific implementation can be referred to the foregoing description and will not be elaborated here.

[0096] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 is the timing diagram of a time synchronization method for a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the vehicle ECU communicates with the time synchronization device. The vehicle ECU may include an intelligent driving ECU and other ECUs, etc.

[0097] Taking the intelligent driving ECU as an example, when the vehicle is powered on, the intelligent driving ECU sends a time synchronization request to the time synchronization device. The time synchronization device synchronizes the time of the vehicle according to the internal clock and returns the time synchronization result to the intelligent driving ECU.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the intelligent driving ECU is built-in with GNSS, which can be used to detect whether the vehicle has a positioning environment, that is, whether the environment where the vehicle is located can receive satellite signals. When it is detected that the environment where the vehicle is located can receive satellite signals, the GNSS chip in the time synchronization device is woken up, that is, the satellite positioning chip in the present application. And calibrate the time of the internal clock (that is, the clock chip in the present application) according to the satellite time in the satellite signals received by the satellite positioning chip.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, when the working state of the vehicle is the power-off state, the GNSS chip can be woken up according to a preset wake-up time. For example, the GNSS chip is woken up once every 8 hours. After the GNSS chip is woken up, it can calibrate the time of the internal clock according to the received satellite time.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the time synchronization method of other ECUs is the same as the above method and will not be elaborated here.
