DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0022] In the following introduction, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The following introduction provides multiple embodiments of the present application. Different embodiments can be replaced or combined, so the present application can also be considered to include all possible combinations of the same and / or different embodiments described. Therefore, if one embodiment includes features A, B, and C, and another embodiment includes features B and D, then the present application should also be considered to include embodiments containing one or more of all other possible combinations of A, B, C, and D, even though the embodiment may not be clearly described in the following text.

[0023] The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the present application. Various examples may appropriately omit, replace, or add various processes or components. For example, the described method may be performed in an order different from the order described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described in some examples may be combined in other examples.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 : is a flow chart of a method for controlling vehicle usage areas provided in an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment of the present application, the method includes: S101: Acquire vehicle positioning information.

[0025] The executor of this application may be the main control system of the vehicle, which imposes restrictive measures on the vehicle, cooperates with the background server to lift the restrictive measures, and confirms the owner's information during the lifting process, in order to record data on possible unreasonable behavior and safeguard the rights and interests of owners who behave reasonably.

[0026] In this application, the main control system is used to control various functions of the vehicle, such as driving functions, electronic control functions, multimedia, etc., and can execute first-level restrictions and second-level restrictions; the on-board terminal is a human-computer interaction media, and the vehicle's positioning and navigation functions are implemented based on the on-board terminal; the server can be a cloud platform, and the main control system and the on-board terminal can both establish a connection with the server through the on-board communication module, and an application for lifting restrictions can be initiated to the server through the on-board terminal.

[0027] When in use, users can judge the compliance of the vehicle based on whether there are any restrictions on the vehicle. Other regular users can compare and know the compliance of their vehicles, thereby ensuring the usage experience and rights of regular users.

[0028] In this application, positioning information is provided by the vehicle terminal using a satellite positioning system; this positioning information includes the vehicle's location and the vehicle terminal's valid signature. Determining the vehicle's operating area based on this positioning information is a self-checking activity. During normal vehicle use, the vehicle acquires its own positioning information, not only for navigation and positioning purposes but also for simultaneous self-checking. Restriction measures are triggered by the vehicle's main control system, not through remote control.

[0029] Based on actual conditions, the vehicle's positioning information may fail to be obtained. Failure to obtain positioning information may be due to signal loss or positioning loss of the vehicle-mounted positioning module. Different countermeasures should be designed for these two situations.

[0030] For example, in the case of signal loss, existing technical means can be used for detection and judgment, and relevant prompts can be given to the driver normally through the screen of the vehicle terminal; and in the case of the loss of the vehicle-mounted positioning module, it can be considered that the vehicle may have been modified, the satellite positioning system is missing or the satellite positioning system is damaged, but in order to eliminate the possibility of false alarms in the system self-test, restrictive measures can be imposed on the vehicle in the event of multiple positioning losses.

[0031] In one possible implementation, if the positioning information of the vehicle-mounted terminal is not obtained and the vehicle continues to travel a certain mileage, a single invalid error message is sent; When multiple invalid error reports are received, the first level restriction is activated.

[0032] A single invalid error report can provide feedback to the driver about the lack of positioning information; when multiple invalid error reports occur, in order to ensure the driver's driving safety and the normal use of the vehicle, restrictive measures can be initiated on the vehicle. On the one hand, this can reduce safety risks, and on the other hand, it can encourage the driver of the vehicle to repair possible problems with the vehicle.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the signature may include a first-type signature and a second-type signature. When leaving the factory, the first-type signature or the second-type signature is written into the vehicle as a verification signature. Different types of products can be placed in different areas, and signatures of corresponding types can be used. Therefore, whether the vehicle's usage area matches the placement area can be directly determined based on the signature type.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the use of signatures may include: Divide the second-type area into sub-areas, and set a second-type signature for each sub-area; A first-class signature is set for the first-class area.

[0035] Restricted areas can be divided into first-class areas and second-class areas according to their attributes. First-class areas are used to place first-class products and use first-class signatures accordingly; second-class areas are used to place second-class products and use second-class signatures accordingly.

[0036] For example, if the second-category area corresponds to overseas regions and the first-category area corresponds to domestic regions, overseas regions are solely attributed to sales, while domestic regions include both production and sales. Unsold vehicles are not present in the sales region. Therefore, if a vehicle is located overseas but the signature is a first-category signature, there is a mismatch between the usage region and the deployment region. In this case, restrictions can be imposed on the vehicle. However, if the vehicle is located domestically but the verification signature is a second-category signature, restrictions should not be imposed directly on the vehicle. Instead, the decision on whether to impose restrictions can be made based on whether the vehicle has been sold and then the owner's usage needs.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the signature can be synchronously loaded into the vehicle terminal and the main control system when the vehicle leaves the factory. When the vehicle terminal obtains the vehicle's location information based on the satellite positioning system, the verification signature loaded into the vehicle terminal is added to the location information as a legal signature to generate positioning information.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, after a vehicle is produced, different types of signatures may be used according to different delivery areas, and the first type of signature or the second type of signature may be loaded into the vehicle, specifically including: The first type signature or the second signature is synchronously loaded into the vehicle terminal and the main control system according to the target area pre-entered by the vehicle; the target area is one of the sub-areas of the second type area or the first type area.

[0039] Exemplarily, the first-class area may be a larger area, and a common first-class signature may be used; of course, the larger area may also be divided into multiple small areas, which may be based on existing boundaries (such as provincial, municipal and municipal boundaries) or based on more detailed divisions of multiple small areas such as geographical restrictions and functional restrictions. Correspondingly, multiple first-class signatures are formulated for multiple small areas to refine the pre-investment areas of vehicles; for example, when a vehicle produced by a certain factory is sold exclusively to a certain province, a separate first-class signature may be formulated to trace the sales channel of the vehicle; when selling to multiple provinces at the same time, multiple first-class signatures may be formulated based on the sales province to distinguish them; further, the first-class signature may also be set based on the factory area to facilitate tracing the factory area where the vehicle leaves the factory.

[0040] Exemplarily, the scope of the second type of area may be discontinuous but widely distributed; the sub-areas can be divided according to the distribution of the second type of area, and a second type of signature can be set for each sub-area. The sub-area division basis can be based on geography, such as land discontinuity and sea intervals; it can be based on trade tariffs, such as low-tariff areas and high-tariff areas; or other division basis, such as dividing the sub-areas according to the use area proposed by the customer, and the use area can be a factory area, an urban area, a fixed driving route / area, etc.

[0041] Each sub-area corresponds to a second-type signature, and the corresponding second-type signature can be loaded according to the pre-deployed target area of the vehicle.

[0042] It can be understood that the second-type signature or the first-type signature loaded into the vehicle corresponds to the area to be invested. The area to be invested can be the entire first-type area, a small area in the first-type area (the above-mentioned refined pre-investment area), or a sub-area in the second-type area.

[0043] Based on the positioning information, the main control system can interpret the positioning information, obtain the location information and the legal signature based on the vehicle terminal, and verify the legal signature based on the signature loaded into the main control system.

[0044] When signature verification fails, the first-level restriction of the vehicle is activated; on this basis, if the vehicle's location information can still be obtained, location verification can be performed based on the location information, and whether to activate the second-level restriction is determined based on the result of the location verification; at this time, the vehicle can have both the first-level restriction and the second-level restriction simultaneously.

[0045] When the signature verification is successful, the location verification can be performed based on the positioning information, and whether to start the secondary restriction is determined based on the result of the location verification; at this time, if the location verification fails, the vehicle will only have the secondary restriction.

[0046] S102: Perform signature verification and location verification on the vehicle based on the legal signature and location information respectively.

[0047] Different response measures are implemented based on the judgment results. The restrictive measures in the response measures include: In response to the signature verification failure, the first level restriction of the vehicle is activated; the first level restriction includes speed restriction and vehicle function restriction; In response to the location verification failure, the secondary restriction of the vehicle is activated; the secondary restriction includes driving restrictions, and the driving restrictions include single driving mileage and single driving interval.

[0048] Non-limiting measures in the response measures are not discussed in this application.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first-level restriction includes vehicle speed limit and vehicle function restriction, wherein the vehicle speed limit is a maximum speed limit for the vehicle, such as limiting the maximum speed to 30km / h; the vehicle function restriction is a functional restriction on the vehicle configuration, including but not limited to lighting usage restriction, media usage restriction, and function usage restriction (such as tire pressure monitoring, collision warning, automatic start and stop, automatic parking, assisted driving, panoramic map, electronic adjustment of windows, seats and rearview mirrors, seat heating, seat ventilation, etc.).

[0050] The purpose of the first-level restriction is to degrade the vehicle user experience, making it impossible for the driver to use the vehicle functions, while significantly reducing the vehicle speed, making it meaningless to enjoy the driving functions.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the secondary restriction includes a driving restriction, and the driving restriction includes a single driving mileage and a single driving interval. The single driving mileage is used to limit the driving mileage after the vehicle is started. For example, if the single driving mileage limit is 5km, the vehicle cannot continue to drive after driving 5km; the single driving interval is used to limit the repeated start of the vehicle and break the limit on the single driving mileage. For example, if the single driving interval is 3 hours, the vehicle's driving mileage is limited to 5km within 3 hours, and the single driving mileage limit cannot be exceeded by starting the vehicle multiple times.

[0052] The purpose of the secondary restriction is to restrict vehicle driving, making the vehicle usage mode closer to test drive mode, allowing drivers to experience the product, but placing restrictions on mileage and driving intervals.

[0053] In one possible implementation, signature verification specifically includes: Obtaining a signature of the main control system, recorded as a first signature; Extracting the legal signature from the positioning information; if the extraction fails, the verification fails; If the extraction is successful, it is recorded as the second signature; the first signature and the second signature are decoded according to the preset decoding rules, the first signature is decoded to form the first information, and the second signature is decoded to form the second information; Determine whether the first information and the second information are identical according to a preset comparison rule: If the first information is the same as the second information, the verification is successful; If the first information is not identical to the second information, the verification fails.

[0054] When signature verification fails, whether it is extraction failure or verification failure under the comparison rules, the main control system can directly initiate the first-level restriction; the judgment conditions of the second-level restriction are relatively independent of the judgment conditions of the first-level restriction, and the two restriction states can coexist.

[0055] It is understandable that if the extraction fails, it means that the current vehicle terminal has not loaded the signature, and the signature may be missing; however, it does not rule out the possibility that the extraction fails this time but succeeds next time; this situation has been eliminated by multiple invalid error reports.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the comparison rules may be diverse: For example, in the nesting comparison rule, if the first information and the second information are nested with each other, they are considered to be the same, otherwise they are different; for example, the reference string is an ordered string of numbers, such as 12345678. Taking interval nesting as an example, the first information is 1, 3, 5, 7, and the second information is 2, 4, 6, 8. In this case, the two are the same, that is, the signature verification is successful; For example, in the numerical comparison rule, if the numerical values of the first information and the second information are the same, they are considered to be the same; otherwise, they are different. For example, taking numerical characters as an example, the first information is 2582 and the second information is 2582. In this case, the numerical values of the two are the same, that is, the signature verification is successful; For example, in the continuous comparison rule, the first information and the second information belong to the same regular digital string, and the two are continuous; for example, the benchmark rule is 2 to the power of N, N=1, 2, 3, 4, ..., the first information is 2, 4, 6, 8, and the second information is 16, 32, 64, 128. The two have the same value pattern and are continuous, that is, the signature verification is successful.

[0057] Specifically, if signature verification fails, the master control system can issue a command to activate Level 1 restrictions. The vehicle controller then operates its actuators to execute the command and provide feedback on the execution status. Upon receiving the execution status, the master control system can notify the driver via a pop-up window on the vehicle terminal. This notification may include the vehicle's restriction status and how to remove it.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the implementation of the secondary restriction is based on location verification, and the location verification is implemented by comparing the location information with a preset built-in map. Specifically, it is determined based on the built-in map whether the vehicle is in the restricted area. If so, the verification is successful; otherwise, the verification fails.

[0059] It is understood that the built-in map is preset data, stored in the vehicle, and cannot be modified. The built-in map can be obtained by marking areas based on an existing world map, and the area markings are used to distinguish between restricted and non-restricted areas.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the presets of the built-in map include: Obtaining a proposed usage area, fitting the usage area onto existing map data, and generating a restriction map; Extracting a boundary line of the usage area on the restriction map, and dividing the restriction map into regions based on the boundary line: The area within the boundary line is defined as a restricted area, and the area outside the boundary line is defined as a non-restricted area, and the built-in map is generated according to the restricted area and the non-restricted area.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the use environment of the automobile is a land area, and restricted areas can be divided based on the land area. The regional boundaries can all be located on the land area. The regional boundaries are national and regional boundaries, or political boundaries, disputed area boundaries, etc.

[0062] The use area / target area is the area where the vehicle is intended to be deployed. Existing restricted areas can include both Category II and Category I areas. The use area can be located within either Category II or Category I areas. The use area is fitted onto the existing map to form a restricted map. The restricted map is then divided into restricted and unrestricted areas, with the boundary of the use area being the boundary line.

[0063] Once a position information is obtained, the relative position relationship between the position information and the boundary line can be confirmed, and then the position information is determined to be in that area, and whether the vehicle is in the restricted area can be quickly determined.

[0064] It should be noted that there are multiple sub-areas corresponding to the second type of signature. If and only if the vehicle's location information is within the corresponding sub-area, the vehicle is determined to be in the restricted area, that is, the vehicle's usage area matches the restricted area. If the vehicle's location information is within any other sub-area, the vehicle is determined to be in the non-restricted area, that is, the vehicle's usage area does not match the restricted area.

[0065] The sub-area corresponding to the vehicle's restricted area is defined as the target sub-domain. When the vehicle is located in other areas adjacent to the target sub-domain, the vehicle is judged to be in a critical state. The vehicle can be determined to be in a non-restricted area based on the vehicle's usage data over a period of time. The owner can also be actively inquired to confirm the vehicle's usage status and eliminate positioning errors.

[0066] The determination of proximity may be set based on the distance between the target sub-region and other surrounding sub-regions, for example, the target sub-region is adjacent to other sub-regions, and there is no other sub-region between the target sub-region and the sub-region.

[0067] Internal maps are not updated. For vehicles already sold, restricted areas are fixed and do not change with changes in the automaker's market, ensuring the permanence of these restricted areas. When a vehicle is resold, the automaker can replace the internal map to ensure the next owner can use the vehicle properly and avoid restrictions. When the restricted area changes, the internal map is updated within the automaker, and the internal map stored in the vehicle is not updated. If the internal map is detected to be missing or tampered with, a system warning will be issued, initiating secondary restrictions, which will require the automaker to inspect and remove the restrictions.

[0068] In this application, when the location information can be obtained from the vehicle-mounted terminal, it can be determined based on the location information whether the vehicle is in the restricted area to implement secondary restrictions.

[0069] For an on-board terminal without a signature, only location information can be obtained based on the on-board terminal, and a legal signature cannot be obtained. That is, the generated positioning information does not contain a legal signature. At this time, the vehicle is subject to a first-level restriction.

[0070] In a feasible embodiment, the location verification of the vehicle specifically includes: Based on the built-in map, determine whether the location information is within the restricted area: If so, the verification succeeds; otherwise, the verification fails.

[0071] It is feasible to rely solely on the vehicle's location information when determining whether the vehicle is within the restricted area.

[0072] The location information can be longitude and latitude. The vehicle's landing point can be directly obtained on the built-in map through its longitude and latitude. The landing point can be used to determine whether the vehicle is outside the restricted area. If it is outside the restricted area, the second-level restriction can be activated.

[0073] It should be clear that when signature verification fails, if the second-level restriction is activated on the basis of the first-level restriction, the vehicle will be subject to two restrictions at the same time; when signature verification succeeds, if the second-level restriction is activated, the vehicle will only be subject to the second-level restriction.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle owner may apply to lift the restriction measures on the vehicle, thereby lifting the restriction status of the vehicle, which includes level one restriction and level two restriction.

[0075] Specifically, the system can monitor the vehicle's operating status in real time, including normal and restricted states. When a vehicle is in a restricted state, the system reports the restricted state and provides feedback on the restricted state and release method via the vehicle terminal. When providing feedback on the restricted state, the system can also clearly identify the cause of the restricted state and inform the driver of any potential vehicle issues, such as unreasonable behavior, missing signatures on the vehicle terminal, or mismatches between the vehicle's operating area and the restricted area.

[0076] The restriction status can be reported to the backend server, which is responsible for reviewing the owner's application and issuing a release instruction.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the release method includes the restriction conditions for releasing the restriction state and the application process for releasing the restriction state. The application process can be implemented on the basis of satisfying the restriction conditions.

[0078] Exemplarily, the restriction conditions include obtaining legal information, and the legal information includes positioning information obtained through a vehicle-mounted terminal with a loaded signature and location information obtained through an unlocking program, wherein the positioning information includes a legal signature and location information; the unlocking program can be downloaded from the official website of the car manufacturer or installed by the car manufacturer's maintenance personnel.

[0079] In the embodiment of this application, the application process includes: Obtaining legal information, and extracting vehicle location information based on the legal information; Provide unlocking mode based on location information; unlocking modes include temporary unlocking in non-restricted areas, current unlocking in non-restricted areas, and current unlocking in restricted areas; When the vehicle is in a non-restricted area, only temporary unlocking in the non-restricted area and current unlocking in the non-restricted area can be selected; When the vehicle is in a restricted area, only the unlocking in the restricted area can be selected.

[0080] Request to upload application information, which includes the owner's identification information and the vehicle's location information. The identification information includes facial recognition information, identity information, and driver's license information. The location information in the application information is automatically uploaded, while the identification information is uploaded by the owner independently.

[0081] The application information is reviewed and the identification information is recorded. A release instruction is issued to vehicles that pass the review. The release instructions include a first-level temporary release instruction, a first-level current release instruction, a second-level temporary release instruction, and a second-level current release instruction. The application information is reviewed by the backend server or reviewer. The first-level temporary release instruction and the first-level current release instruction correspond to the release of the first-level restriction, and the second-level temporary release instruction and the second-level current release instruction correspond to the release of the second-level restriction.

[0082] Generate an unlock record for the corresponding unlock mode based on the application information uploaded this time, and record the unlock behavior, including the number of unlocks and the unlock duration; When the unlocking behavior reaches the restricted behavior of the unlocking mode, an offline release request is sent to the car owner; the restricted behavior includes the number of times and time limit.

[0083] In the embodiment of this application, for the unlocking mode, the vehicle owner can proactively request the auditor to unlock the vehicle, which is applicable when the signature verification is successful; As a feasible embodiment, when signature verification is successful, the rationality of the behavior is determined based on the vehicle usage behavior and the owner's proactive unlocking request. If the judgment result is unreasonable, the unlocking request is rejected; if reasonable, the unlocking request is approved. For example, if the usage behavior is different from the unlocking request, it is unreasonable; otherwise, it is reasonable.

[0084] As another feasible implementation method, when the signature verification is successful, the number of unlocking times and unlocking duration under reasonable conditions can be set to limit the unlocking demand. When the unlocking behavior reaches the limit, online applications will no longer be responded to, and only offline release applications will be accepted.

[0085] When signature verification fails, set the limit on the number of unlocks and unlock duration in the failed state. When the unlock behavior reaches the limit, no online application will be responded to, and only offline unlock applications will be accepted.

[0086] You can also set the number of unlocks and unlock duration for each unlock mode. When the unlock behavior of a mode reaches the limit, the unlock application of this mode will no longer be responded to, and only offline unlock applications will be accepted.

[0087] Correspondingly, for registered resale vehicles, if there is a change in the restricted area but the built-in map has not been replaced, a time-limited unlocking instruction can be set. No restrictive measures will be taken within the time limit. After the time limit is reached, restrictive measures will be taken based on the built-in map, and the time-limited unlocking instruction should be limited in number, such as twice. The first time is the owner's own application, and the regular time limit is one month, three months, etc.; the second unlocking authority is issued after review by the staff, and the time limit is limited, such as one week, two weeks, etc.; but it should be informed that the replacement of the built-in map is completed within the time limit, and the car company staff can provide door-to-door service or send the vehicle to the corresponding offline store.

[0088] If a vehicle is temporarily outside a restricted area, the restrictions can be automatically lifted when the vehicle returns to the restricted area. The criteria for determining this situation can be preset as needed, based on distance and / or time, and can also be increased by adding speed limits.
