Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an operation method of a driving recorder, and particularly to a method for activating a parking monitoring mode of a motorcycle driving recorder. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle safety after a motorcycle is parked is very important to consumers, especially for large motorcycles with high prices. The parking monitoring function can detect whether the vehicle is collided or whether there are suspicious people approaching the vehicle after the vehicle is parked, and then start recording.

[0003] Existing motorcycle driving recorders with motorcycle parking monitoring functions need to be externally connected to a mobile power supply for power supply after the motorcycle is turned off. In actual use scenarios, it is not only inconvenient, but also there are safety concerns when placing the mobile power supply in a motorcycle compartment that may heat up under closed and sun-exposed conditions. Therefore, some motorcycle driving recorders use the motorcycle battery for power supply after the parking monitoring function is turned on. However, once the parking monitoring function of the motorcycle driving recorder is turned on, it will automatically enter the monitoring state and start consuming the power of the motorcycle battery every time the vehicle is turned off. However, motorcycles and heavy motorcycles are not the first means of transportation for many people. Especially if a heavy motorcycle is used for weekend leisure and not ridden in rainy weather, it may be parked for several weeks to several months. Without a stable battery recharge, the battery will run out of power after being parked for a long time. At this time, not only is there a concern that the voltage of the vehicle battery itself will not be able to start smoothly, let alone supply power to the motorcycle driving recorder; in addition, if the heavy motorcycle is mostly parked in its own garage when not going out, normal monitoring is not necessary. Moreover, heavy motorcycles are expensive. Even if the battery will not be depleted to the point of running out of power, its lifespan will be easily reduced with long-term use.

[0004] Therefore, there is a real need and necessity to provide a motorcycle driving recorder that allows a motorcycle rider to activate the parking monitoring mechanism for the current time only once, so as to fit the usage scenarios of the riders, and let the riders choose the most suitable parking monitoring settings according to their own vehicle usage patterns, parking habits, and acceptance of battery power consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for activating the parking monitoring mode of a motorcycle driving recorder only once and a motorcycle driving recording system for implementing the method, which can allow a motorcycle rider to set the motorcycle driving recorder to operate in a single parking monitoring mode.

[0006] Accordingly, a method for a locomotive driving recorder to start a parking monitoring mode once includes: a mobile communication device provides an option for a single-start parking monitoring mode to be selected; after the mobile communication device determines that the single-start parking monitoring mode option is selected, it generates and transmits a setting instruction including a starting gesture to a locomotive driving recorder that is wirelessly connected to it, and the setting instruction instructs the locomotive driving recorder to operate in a single-start parking monitoring mode and uses the starting gesture as the basis for determining whether to start the single-start parking monitoring mode.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the mobile communication device determines that the single-start parking monitoring mode option is selected, it provides multiple starting gesture options for selection, each starting gesture option corresponds to a starting gesture, and after the mobile communication device determines that one of the starting gesture options is selected, it includes the starting gesture corresponding to the selected starting gesture option in the setting instruction.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the locomotive driving recorder completes the setting according to the setting instruction, when the locomotive driving recorder determines that an operation gesture received from one of its operation units matches the starting gesture corresponding to the selected starting gesture option, the locomotive driving recorder starts the single-start parking monitoring mode.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, it further includes: the locomotive driving recorder also records a plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and a plurality of pens of battery power consumption information corresponding to each of the geographical location information; when the locomotive driving recorder determines that the parking location information is one of the geographical location information it records, it obtains the plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of pens of battery power consumption information corresponding to the parking location information, and estimates an expected power consumption for this parking based on the plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of pens of battery power consumption information; when the locomotive driving recorder determines that the parking safety value is greater than the threshold and the single-start stop monitoring mode has been started, but determines based on the current battery power of the locomotive that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power of the vehicle to be lower than a safety value, the locomotive driving recorder outputs a not-recommended start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or generates and transmits a not-recommended start-stop monitoring message to the mobile communication device, and the not-recommended start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or the not-recommended start-stop monitoring message replaces the not-required start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or the not-required start-stop monitoring message; and when the locomotive driving recorder determines that the parking safety value is not greater than the threshold and the single-start stop monitoring mode has not been started, but determines based on the current battery power of the locomotive that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power to be lower than the safety value, the locomotive driving recorder does not output the required start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or does not transmit the required start-stop monitoring message to the mobile communication device.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, it further includes: the locomotive driving recorder records a geographical location information of each location where the vehicle has parked for more than a default time, and a plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and a plurality of pens of battery power consumption information corresponding to each of the geographical location information; when the locomotive driving recorder determines that a parking location information obtained currently is one of the geographical location information it records before the vehicle shuts off, it obtains the plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of pens of battery power consumption information corresponding to the parking location information, and estimates an expected power consumption for this parking based on the plurality of pens of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of pens of battery power consumption information; and when the locomotive driving recorder determines that the single-start stop monitoring mode is started but the expected power consumption may cause the battery power of the vehicle to be lower than a safety value, it outputs a not-recommended start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or generates and transmits a not-recommended start-stop monitoring message to the mobile communication device.

[0012] Furthermore, a locomotive driving recorder system for implementing the above method according to the present invention includes a locomotive driving recorder and a mobile communication device capable of establishing wireless communication with the locomotive driving recorder. The mobile communication device provides a single-start stop monitoring mode option for selection; after the mobile communication device determines that the single-start stop monitoring mode option is selected, it generates and transmits a setting instruction including a start gesture to the locomotive driving recorder; the locomotive driving recorder operates in a single-start stop monitoring mode according to the setting instruction, and uses the start gesture included in the setting instruction as a basis for determining whether to start the single-start stop monitoring mode.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the mobile communication device determines that the single-start stop monitoring mode option is selected, it provides multiple start gesture options for selection. Each start gesture option corresponds to a start gesture, and after the mobile communication device determines that one of the start gesture options is selected, the start gesture corresponding to the selected start gesture option is included in the setting instruction.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the locomotive driving recorder determines that an operation gesture transmitted from one of its operation units matches the start gesture included in the setting instruction, the locomotive driving recorder starts the single-start stop monitoring mode.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mobile communication device further obtains a geographical location information of each location where the vehicle parked by the locomotive recorder exceeds a default time; the mobile communication device further provides a frequently parked location setting option, after which the frequently parked location setting option is selected, the mobile communication device provides the geographical location information for browsing and sets it as one of the default multiple places, the places are divided into multiple levels, and a first default score is given to each level; the mobile communication device provides each of the places set as the default and the geographical location information corresponding to each of the different levels and its corresponding first default score to the locomotive recorder; the mobile communication device further provides a parking safety reminder setting option, after which the parking safety reminder setting option is selected, the mobile communication device transmits a set parking safety reminder instruction to the locomotive recorder, and the set parking safety reminder instruction instructs the locomotive recorder to activate a parking safety reminder function; when the locomotive recorder is in a state where the parking safety reminder function is turned on and determines that a current obtained parking location information is one of the geographical location information of each of the places set as the default before the vehicle turns off, it obtains the first default score corresponding to the parking location information, and the locomotive recorder determines a parking location attribute of the vehicle according to its video footage and gives a second default score according to the parking location attribute, and calculates a parking safety value according to the first default score and the second default score; when the locomotive recorder determines that the parking safety value is greater than a threshold and determines that the single-start parking monitoring mode has been started, it outputs a do-not-need-to-start parking monitoring reminder audio or generates and transmits a do-not-need-to-start parking monitoring message to the mobile communication device; when the locomotive recorder determines that the parking safety value is not greater than the threshold and determines that the single-start parking monitoring mode has not been started, it outputs a need-to-start parking monitoring reminder audio or generates and transmits a need-to-start parking monitoring message to the mobile communication device.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the locomotive tachograph further records a plurality of start-stop monitoring times and a plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to each of the geographical location information; when the locomotive tachograph determines that the parking location information is one of the geographical location information it records, it obtains the plurality of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to the parking location information, and estimates an expected power consumption for this parking based on the plurality of start-stop monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information; when the locomotive tachograph determines that the parking safety value is greater than the threshold and the single start-stop monitoring mode has been activated, but determines based on the current battery power of the locomotive that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power of the vehicle to be lower than a safety value, the locomotive tachograph outputs a not recommended start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or generates and transmits a not recommended start-stop monitoring message to the mobile communication device, and the not recommended start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or the not recommended start-stop monitoring message replaces the not required start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or the not required start-stop monitoring message; when the locomotive tachograph determines that the parking safety value is not greater than the threshold and the single start-stop monitoring mode has not been activated, but determines based on the current battery power of the locomotive that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power to be lower than the safety value, the locomotive tachograph does not output the required start-stop monitoring reminder audio message or does not transmit the required start-stop monitoring message to the mobile communication device.

This facilitates the user to decide whether to control the locomotive video recorder to start the single - starting parking monitoring mode by inputting the starting gesture when parking. Thereby, the locomotive rider can choose a parking monitoring mode that meets personal needs according to their own vehicle - using mode, parking habits, and acceptance of battery power consumption. And by further judging the safety of the parking lot area and / or the safety value of the battery power, the locomotive rider is timely reminded to start or not start the single - starting parking monitoring mode, so as to further improve the safety of parking and avoid excessive consumption of the locomotive battery power.

[0024] Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 , which is the main process step of an embodiment of the method for single - starting the parking monitoring mode of the locomotive video recorder in the present invention. This method can be implemented by a locomotive video recording system 100 shown in Figure 2 . The locomotive video recording system 100 mainly includes a locomotive video recorder 1 and a mobile communication device 2 that establishes a wireless communication connection with the locomotive video recorder 1 (for example, through a wireless communication network), such as but not limited to a smart phone. The locomotive video recorder 1 uses the power supplied by the locomotive battery, and as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the locomotive video recorder 1 mainly includes a main unit 11, a front (photography) lens 12 and a rear (photography) lens 13 electrically connected to the main unit 11, and an operation unit 14 communicating with the main unit 11 in a wired or wireless manner. The main unit 11 is built with a positioning system, such as a GPS (Global Positioning System), and the main unit 11 is usually installed under the seat of the locomotive on the frame. The front (photography) lens 12 is installed at the front end of the locomotive, the rear (photography) lens 13 is installed at the rear end of the locomotive, and the operation unit 14 includes two physical buttons (or a touch panel) that can be manually operated by the rider and is usually installed near the handlebars of the locomotive. During driving, the main unit 11 controls the front (photography) lens 12 and the rear (photography) lens 13 to record videos and stores the video images transmitted by the front (photography) lens 12 and the rear (photography) lens 13. At the same time, the main unit 11 obtains the position information of the locomotive through the GPS system and records geographical location information such as the driving track and parking position of the locomotive. The operation unit 14 can be manipulated by the rider to control the main unit 11 to perform related settings or functions such as emergency locking of the driving video images.

[0026] And in this embodiment, in addition to automatically starting the default parking monitoring mode to perform parking monitoring video recording after the locomotive stops and shuts down, the locomotive video recorder 1 also provides a single-start parking monitoring mode, allowing the rider to set it through operating the mobile communication device 2 to switch the locomotive video recorder 1 to operate in the single-start parking monitoring mode. The single-start parking monitoring mode allows the locomotive rider to start single-stop monitoring by operating the operation unit 14 before the locomotive stops and shuts down, so that the locomotive video recorder 1 performs parking monitoring video recording after the locomotive shuts down this time. And after the locomotive starts again, the parking monitoring function is cancelled (stopped). Until the rider operates the operation unit 14 again to start single-stop monitoring before the locomotive shuts down next time, the locomotive video recorder 1 will perform parking monitoring video recording again after the locomotive shuts down. Thus, the locomotive rider can decide whether to perform parking monitoring video recording each time the locomotive stops.

[0027] Therefore, in order to make the locomotive video recorder 1 operate in the single-start parking monitoring mode, as Figure 1 in step S11, first, the mobile communication device 2 establishes a connection with the locomotive video recorder 1 by executing an application program and displays a setting screen (not shown in the figure) providing an option for a single-start parking monitoring mode for the user to select.

[0028] After the user clicks on the single-start parking monitoring mode option, as Figure 1In step S12, after the mobile communication device 2 determines that the single - start parking monitoring mode option is selected, it provides multiple start gesture options for selection on the setting screen. Each start gesture option corresponds to a start gesture, and various start gestures are the actual basis for the motorcycle recorder 1 to determine whether the user indicates to start the single - start parking monitoring mode in the future. In this embodiment, the start gesture options may be, but are not limited to, for example, a single - click trigger, a long - press trigger, a double - button press trigger, a sequential double - button press trigger, etc., and the corresponding start gestures are single - click, long - press (for example, long - press for 3 seconds), double - button press, sequential (or successive) double - button press, etc. Thus, the user can set the operation gesture to be input when starting the single - start parking monitoring mode by himself / herself.

[0029] Next, as Figure 1 in step S13, when the mobile communication device 2 determines that one of the start gesture options is selected, it generates and transmits a setting instruction to the motorcycle recorder 1. The setting instruction includes the start gesture corresponding to the selected start gesture option. Thus, when the motorcycle recorder 1 receives the setting instruction, the motorcycle recorder 1 switches to operate in the single - start parking monitoring mode according to the setting instruction, and uses the start gesture included in the setting instruction as the judgment basis for whether to start the single - start parking monitoring mode.

[0030] Accordingly, when the motorcycle rider inputs an operation gesture on the operation unit 14 before parking and turning off the engine, when the motorcycle recorder 1 determines that the operation gesture transmitted from the operation unit 14 matches the start gesture included in the setting instruction, the motorcycle recorder 1 starts the single - start parking monitoring mode and conducts the parking monitoring video recording for this time. In addition, the parking monitoring video recording can be set in advance to a time - lapse video mode, a full - time video mode, a vibration - triggered (for example, start recording only when detecting a collision) mode, etc.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to timely remind the motorcycle rider to pay attention to the safety of the parking location, as Figure 3 in step S21 of this embodiment, the mobile communication device 2 of this embodiment also obtains a geographical location information, such as GPS coordinates, of each location where the vehicle (motorcycle) parked by the motorcycle recorder 1 exceeds a default time (for example, 30 minutes).

[0032] And as Figure 3In step S22, the mobile communication device 2 also provides a frequently parked location setting option in the displayed setting screen. After the mobile communication device 2 determines that the frequently parked location setting option is selected by the user, the mobile communication device 2 provides the geographical location information for the user to browse. When the user browses a piece of geographical location information, the mobile communication device 2 will display the corresponding electronic map so that the user can know the location indicated (whereabouts) by the geographical location information. The mobile communication device 2 also provides a variety of default places for the user to set the browsed geographical location information as one of these places. These places are, for example, company, home, school, stadium, frequently visited store, other... etc. and are presented as multiple options (such as "company" option, "home" option... etc.); for example, when the user determines through the electronic map that a piece of geographical location information he browses is the location of the company, he can set this geographical location information as "company" (such as selecting the "company" option). And the mobile communication device 2 divides these places into multiple levels, and assigns a corresponding first default score to each level; for example, places such as company, home, and school that the user goes to almost every day are set as the first level, and its first default score is 5 points; places such as stadium and frequently visited store that the user goes to 1 - 2 times a week are set as the second level, and its first default score is 3 points; other places that the user occasionally goes to are set as the third level, and its first default score is 1 point; as for places that are visited for the first time and not classified, they can all be set as the fourth level, and its corresponding first default score is 0 points. Therefore, the first default score of the geographical location information set as "company" is 5 points, while the first default score of the geographical location information set as "other" is 1 point.

[0033] Then, as Figure 3 in step S23, the mobile communication device 2 provides the geographical location information of each of these places set as the default and assigned to different levels, and their corresponding first default scores, to the motorcycle driving recorder 1.

[0034] In addition, the mobile communication device 2 also provides a parking safety reminder setting option in the displayed setting screen, and as Figure 3 in step S24, after the mobile communication device 2 determines that the parking safety reminder setting option is selected, the mobile communication device 2 immediately transmits a set parking safety reminder instruction to the motorcycle driving recorder 1. The set parking safety reminder instruction instructs the motorcycle driving recorder 1 to activate a parking safety reminder function. Therefore, after receiving the set parking safety reminder instruction, the motorcycle driving recorder 1 activates the parking safety reminder function according to the set parking safety reminder instruction.

[0035] Thereby, as Figure 3In step S25, when the locomotive recorder 1 determines that a parking location information obtained currently is one of the geographical location information of each of the places set as the default in the state where the parking safety reminder function is turned on before the vehicle shuts off, the locomotive recorder 1 obtains the first default score corresponding to the parking location information. At the same time, the locomotive recorder 1 determines a parking location attribute of the vehicle based on its video footage (such as the video footage of the front and rear cameras 12 and 13 during a specific period (such as 10 seconds) before the locomotive shuts off) and gives a second default score according to the parking location attribute. The parking location attribute can be divided into attributes such as indoor area, open-air parking lot area, urban - roadside parking space, urban - roadside random, urban - alley random, suburban - roadside parking space, suburban - roadside random, etc. The locomotive recorder 1 gives the second default score according to different attributes. For example, the indoor area is 8 points, the open-air parking lot area is 5 points, the urban - roadside parking space is 3 points, the urban - roadside random (or suburban - roadside parking space) is 2 points, the urban - alley random (or suburban - roadside random) is 1 point, and so on. Then, the locomotive recorder 1 calculates a parking safety value based on the first default score and the second default score. For example, the parking safety value is the sum of the first default score and the second default score. Of course, the parking safety value can also be the first default score multiplied by a first weight value plus the second default score multiplied by a second weight value, etc., and is not limited to the example here.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the locomotive recorder 1 has a power supply component - a gold capacitor (not shown in the figure) inside that can supply power for the locomotive recorder 1 to run briefly. This component can usually store power and, after the external power supply (locomotive battery) stops supplying power, maintain the electronic components on the internal circuit board of the locomotive recorder 1 to run briefly for a short period of time. These electronic components use this short period of time to process related operations, such as saving the last video file, calculating the date, and confirming the internal data usage status, etc. Therefore, after the locomotive recorder 1 shuts off, it can continuously determine whether the last geographical location information received before shutting off should be the parking location information and compare whether this information is the geographical location information of each of the places previously set as the default by using the power of the gold capacitor.

[0037] Next, as Figure 3In step S26, the locomotive recorder 1 determines whether the parking safety value is greater than a threshold value (safety threshold). If so (indicating that the parking location has relatively high safety and parking monitoring should not be started), and it is determined that the single-start parking monitoring mode has been started, the locomotive recorder 1 will output a reminder audio message indicating that parking monitoring does not need to be started (such as emitting a long beep for a specific time) or generate and transmit a message indicating that parking monitoring does not need to be started to the mobile communication device 2, reminding the vehicle owner who has not yet left to turn off the single-start parking monitoring mode (the way to turn off can be, for example, inputting a default gesture to cancel parking monitoring in the operation unit 14) to save battery power.

[0038] If the locomotive recorder 1 determines that the parking safety value is not greater than the threshold value (safety threshold) (indicating that the parking location has relatively low safety and parking monitoring should be started), and it is determined that the single-start parking monitoring mode has not been started, the locomotive recorder 1 will output a reminder audio message indicating that parking monitoring needs to be started (such as emitting a long beep for a specific time) or generate and transmit a message indicating that parking monitoring needs to be started to the mobile communication device 2, reminding the vehicle owner who has not yet left to turn on the single-start parking monitoring mode.

[0039] In addition, to avoid the situation that after the single-start parking monitoring mode is started, the locomotive recorder 1 consumes the power of the locomotive battery for too long, resulting in the locomotive being unable to start due to insufficient battery power, as Figure 4 In step S31, the locomotive recorder 1 of this embodiment also records a plurality of start parking monitoring times and a plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to each geographical location information where the parking exceeds the default time. Each start parking monitoring time refers to the time length during which the locomotive recorder 1 performs parking monitoring from the time when the locomotive turns off and parks until it starts again; each battery power consumption information can be obtained through a battery monitoring circuit, which includes the battery power consumed and the battery voltage drop data, etc. during the corresponding start parking monitoring time.

[0040] And as Figure 4 In step S32, simultaneously with the above step S25, when the locomotive recorder 1 determines that the parking location information is one of the geographical location information it records, it obtains the plurality of start parking monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to the parking location information, and based on the plurality of start parking monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information, finds the discharge curve corresponding to the power consumption of the locomotive battery each time during parking monitoring, and combines the total usage time and the total charge-discharge cycle times of the battery, etc., so as to estimate an expected power consumption for this parking.

[0041] Then, as Figure 4In step S33, when the locomotive data recorder 1 determines that the parking safety value is greater than the threshold value and the single - start parking monitoring mode has been activated, but based on the current power of the locomotive battery and the state of battery aging, it is determined that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power to be lower than a safety value, the locomotive data recorder 1 outputs a reminder audio message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring (such as emitting a specific sound or a long beep for a certain time) or generates and transmits a message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring to the mobile communication device 2, reminding the vehicle owner who has not yet left that the locomotive battery power may be insufficient, so that the vehicle owner can confirm whether to turn off (cancel) the single - start parking monitoring mode to avoid excessive consumption of the locomotive battery power. That is, in this case, the reminder audio message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring or the message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring will replace the reminder audio message of not needing to start the parking monitoring or the message of not needing to start the parking monitoring.

[0042] If the locomotive data recorder 1 determines that the parking safety value is not greater than the threshold value and the single - start parking monitoring mode has not been activated, but based on the current power of the locomotive battery and the degree of battery aging, it is determined that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power to be lower than the safety value, the locomotive data recorder 1 does not output the reminder audio message of needing to start the parking monitoring or does not transmit the message of needing to start the parking monitoring to the mobile communication device 2.

[0043] In addition, a variant implementation of this embodiment is not to implement the above - mentioned steps S21 - S26 but to implement the above - mentioned steps S31 and S32. The locomotive data recorder 1 records the geographical location information of each location where the locomotive has parked for more than the default time and a plurality of start - stop monitoring times and a plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to each geographical location information; and when the locomotive data recorder 1 determines that the obtained parking location information after the vehicle is turned off is one of the geographical location information it has recorded, it obtains the plurality of start - stop monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information corresponding to the parking location information, and estimates the expected power consumption of this parking based on the plurality of start - stop monitoring times and the plurality of battery power consumption information; then, when the locomotive data recorder 1 determines that the single - start parking monitoring mode has been activated but based on the current power of the locomotive battery and the degree of battery aging, it is determined that the expected power consumption will cause the battery power to be lower than the safety value, the locomotive data recorder 1 outputs the reminder audio message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring or generates and transmits the message of not recommending starting the parking monitoring to the mobile communication device 2, reminding the vehicle owner who has not yet left that the locomotive battery power may be insufficient, and reminding the vehicle owner to confirm whether to turn off (cancel) the single - start parking monitoring mode to avoid excessive consumption of the locomotive battery power.

[0044] In summary, the above embodiments provide the single - start parking monitoring mode option through the mobile communication device 2 for the user to select and set the starting gesture for starting the single - start parking monitoring mode. This facilitates the user to decide whether to start the single - start parking monitoring mode for only that particular parking by inputting the starting gesture when parking. Thus, motorcycle riders can choose a parking monitoring mode that meets their personal needs according to their usage patterns, parking habits, and acceptance of battery power consumption. Moreover, in this embodiment, by further judging the safety of the parking area and / or the safety value of the battery power, the motorcycle rider is timely reminded or advised to start or not start the single - start parking monitoring mode, so as to further improve the safety of parking and avoid excessive consumption of the motorcycle battery power, truly achieving the effects and purposes of the present invention.

[0045] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
