[0024] Sample Environment

[0025] Figure 1 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include a control device 110 , a positioning aid device 120 , and a target vehicle 130 .

[0026] In this example environment 100, the target vehicle 130 can be a two-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle, a four-wheeled vehicle, or the like, and can be an electric vehicle or a non-electric vehicle, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The user 140 can trigger an unlocking operation to unlock the target vehicle 130.

[0027] The target vehicle 130 may report target location information corresponding to the target vehicle 130 to the control device 110. As an example, this target location information may be determined by a positioning device on the target vehicle 130. As another example, the positioning device on the target vehicle 130 may determine candidate location information and send the candidate location information to the positioning assistance device 120. The positioning assistance device 120 may determine target location information based on the candidate location information, where the candidate location information may be the preliminarily determined location information of the target vehicle 130, and the target location information may be location information with a higher accuracy than the preliminarily determined location information of the target vehicle 130.

[0028] The control device 110 can control the target vehicle 130 based on the target location information and the matching result of the user 140's historical vehicle usage trajectory. For example, the control device 110 can control the frequency at which the target vehicle 130 reports the target location information, control the communication connection between the target vehicle 130 and the control device 110, and so on. Specifically, how the control device 110 controls the target vehicle 130 based on the target location information is described in detail in the specific embodiments and is not further described here.

[0029] A communication connection exists between the target vehicle 130 and the control device 110. The control device 110 can be a predetermined base station, an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The control device 110 can include, for example, a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like.

[0030] In some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 can be equipped with a positioning device with self-positioning capabilities. In some embodiments, a communication connection can also exist between the target vehicle 130 and the positioning assistance device 120. The positioning assistance device 120 is used to assist in determining a more accurate location of the target vehicle 130. The positioning assistance device 120 can be a predetermined base station, an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The positioning assistance device 120 can, for example, include a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. As an example, the positioning assistance device 120 can be a base station other than the control device 110. As an example, the positioning assistance device 120 can be a continuously operating reference station (CORS) base station.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Traditionally, after the target vehicle 130 is triggered to unlock by the user 140, it continues to communicate with the CORS base station, and then the target vehicle 130 reports the location information corresponding to the target vehicle 130 at a predetermined reporting frequency, until the user 140 triggers the locking operation and stops reporting. On the one hand, continuous reporting will consume a lot of energy. On the other hand, during the period when the user 140 uses the target vehicle 130, if the user 140 forgets to lock the door, or the vehicle is used for a long time, it will also cause a lot of energy consumption (for example, power consumption, oil consumption, etc.), resulting in low energy or other problems in the vehicle. If the weather factors affect the charging of the target vehicle 130, it will affect the use and maintenance of the target vehicle 130. In serious cases, the problem of inaccurate positioning and resulting in the loss of the vehicle may occur.

[0033] An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a solution for vehicle control, which receives first target position information reported at a first reporting frequency within a predetermined time period by a target vehicle 130 on which an unlocking operation has been triggered by a user 140; determines whether to send a frequency adjustment instruction based on a matching result between the first target position information reported within the predetermined time period and a historical vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140; and in response to determining to send a frequency adjustment instruction, issues a frequency adjustment instruction to the target vehicle 130, wherein the frequency adjustment instruction indicates a second reporting frequency of the position information of the target vehicle 130, and the second reporting frequency is less than the first reporting frequency.

[0034] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the frequency of reporting position information of the target vehicle 130 can be lowered to effectively reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle and alleviate the workload of vehicle positioning.

[0035] Example Process

[0036] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a process 200 for vehicle control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 may be implemented at the control device 110. Figure 1 Process 200 is described.

[0037] In block 210 , the control device 110 receives first target location information reported by the target vehicle 130 , for which an unlocking operation has been triggered by the user 140 , at a first reporting frequency within a predetermined time period.

[0038] In some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 may be a two-wheeled, three-wheeled, or four-wheeled vehicle with a lock, and the user 140 may unlock the target vehicle 130 by triggering an unlocking operation. The target vehicle 130 may be an electric vehicle or a non-electric vehicle, without limitation. As an example, the target vehicle 130 may be a two-wheeled shared electric vehicle.

[0039] In some embodiments, the user 140 can trigger the unlocking operation by scanning the identification information of the target vehicle 130, where the identification information can be a QR code, a barcode, etc. In other embodiments, the user 140 can also trigger the operation by using a car key, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the predetermined time period may be a few minutes after the vehicle is unlocked, etc., and may be specifically set as needed. In some embodiments, the first target location information is the real-time location of the target vehicle 130 each time it is reported within the predetermined time period. The first target location may be the latitude and longitude of the target vehicle 130, or may be street information, etc.

[0041] In block 220 , the control device 110 determines whether to send a frequency adjustment instruction based on a matching result between the first target location information reported within a predetermined period of time and the historical vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 .

[0042] In some embodiments, if at least one historical vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 matches the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period, control device 110 may determine that a historical vehicle usage trajectory has been preliminarily successfully matched with the current vehicle usage trajectory of user 140. If no historical vehicle usage trajectory matches the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period, it is determined that no historical vehicle usage trajectory has been preliminarily successfully matched with the current vehicle usage trajectory of user 140.

[0043] If a historical vehicle usage trajectory matches the user 140's current vehicle usage trajectory, there is a high probability that the user 140's vehicle usage trajectory after the preset time period will match the previously matched historical vehicle usage trajectory. Therefore, the target vehicle 130 can be accurately located by subsequently reducing its reporting frequency. In some embodiments, if a historical vehicle usage trajectory matches the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period, the control device 110 can determine to send a frequency adjustment instruction. If no historical vehicle usage trajectory matches the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period, the control device 110 can determine not to send a frequency adjustment instruction. The frequency adjustment instruction instructs the target vehicle 130 to report its location information at a second frequency, which is lower than the first frequency. In other words, by sending the frequency adjustment instruction to the target vehicle 130, the target vehicle 130 is instructed to reduce its location information reporting frequency. For example, the first reporting frequency may be 3-second or 8-second intervals, while the second reporting frequency may be 15-second or 30-second intervals, and so on.

[0044] In some embodiments, the historical vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 may be identified based on a big data model. Specifically, the historical vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 may be based on the historical vehicle usage records of user 140 and the frequently used vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 identified by the big data model. Of course, the big data model may also identify various location information of user 140 during historical vehicle usage and related information corresponding to each location information based on the historical vehicle usage records. The related information may include point of information (POI) information, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] The following describes a process for determining whether the historical vehicle trajectory matches the first target location information reported within the predetermined time.

[0046] In some embodiments, if the distance between a preset number of pieces of first target location information reported within a predetermined time period and the location information included in the historical vehicle trajectory is less than a threshold, the control device 110 may determine that the historical vehicle trajectory has been preliminarily matched with the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period. The preset number may be the number of all first target location information reported within the predetermined time period, or the number of a portion of the first target location information reported within the predetermined time period. Specifically, the preset number may be set based on needs. For example, if the number of all first target location information reported within the predetermined time period is N, then the preset number may be three-quarters N.

[0047] In block 230 , in response to determining to send a frequency adjustment instruction, the control device 110 sends a frequency adjustment instruction to the target vehicle 130 .

[0048] As an example, the frequency adjustment instruction may instruct the target vehicle 130 to reduce its reporting frequency of location information. That is, the control device 110 issues the frequency adjustment instruction to the target vehicle 130, so that the target vehicle 130 determines a second reporting frequency based on the received frequency adjustment instruction. In some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 may determine the second reporting frequency based on a preset frequency adjustment algorithm and the first reporting frequency.

[0049] As another example, the frequency adjustment instruction may indicate a specific reporting frequency of the target vehicle 130 for location information. In other words, the frequency adjustment instruction may directly indicate a second reporting frequency to be adjusted. Upon receiving the frequency adjustment instruction, the target vehicle 130 may directly determine the second reporting frequency based on the frequency adjustment instruction.

[0050] In some embodiments, after determining the second reporting frequency, the target vehicle 130 may report the second target location information based on the second reporting frequency. In other words, the control device 110 may receive the second target location information reported by the target vehicle 130 at the second reporting frequency.

[0051] In order to further reduce the energy consumption of the target vehicle 130, in some embodiments, each time the control device 110 receives the second target location information reported by the target vehicle 130, it can perform the following operations: based on the second target location information reported currently and the historical vehicle usage trajectory, determine whether a target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 is matched. If a target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 is matched, the control device 110 can send a communication disconnection instruction to the target vehicle 130. This communication disconnection instruction instructs the target vehicle 130 to disconnect the communication connection with the positioning assistance device 120. Based on the received communication disconnection instruction, the target vehicle 130 can disconnect the communication connection with the positioning assistance device 120 to reduce the energy consumption of the target vehicle 130. If the target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 is not matched, the control device 110 can determine whether the target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 can be matched based on the second target position information reported by the target vehicle 130 next time, until the target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of user 140 is determined and a communication disconnection command is sent to the target vehicle 130.

[0052] It should be noted that, since the control device 110 has performed a preliminary match with the historical vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 based on the first target location information reported within a predetermined period of time before receiving the second target location information, and the preliminary matching process can determine which historical vehicle usage trajectory is preliminarily successfully matched with the current vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 and which matches are unsuccessful, therefore, in order to reduce the matching workload, in some embodiments, the control device 110 can determine whether the target historical vehicle usage trajectory that matches the current vehicle usage trajectory of the user 140 is matched based on the second target location information currently reported and the historical vehicle usage trajectory that is preliminarily successfully matched in the historical vehicle usage trajectory.

[0053] In some embodiments, user 140 can also trigger a locking operation on target vehicle 130 to park target vehicle 130. To accurately determine the parking status of target vehicle 130, in some embodiments, in response to user 140 locking the target vehicle 130, target vehicle 130 can transmit third target location information of target vehicle 130 to control device 110. In other words, control device 110 can receive the third target location information of target vehicle 130. Control device 110 can determine the parking status of target vehicle 130 based on the third target location information. The parking status may include parking location information, whether the vehicle is parked in a designated parking location, and so on.

[0054] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the frequency of reporting position information of the target vehicle 130 can be lowered to effectively reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle and alleviate the workload of vehicle positioning.

[0055] Figure 3 1 shows a flow chart of a process 300 for vehicle control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 300 may be implemented at the target vehicle 130. For example, the target vehicle 130 may be equipped with a vehicle-side processing device or control device for executing the process 300. For the convenience of discussion, the following is from the perspective of the target vehicle 130, combined with Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 300 is described below.

[0056] In block 310 , in response to the user 140 unlocking the target vehicle 130 , the target vehicle 130 reports first target location information of the target vehicle 130 to the control device 110 at a first reporting frequency within a predetermined time period.

[0057] In some embodiments, the user 140 can trigger the unlocking operation by scanning the identification information of the target vehicle 130, and the identification information can be a QR code, a barcode, etc. In other embodiments, the user 140 can also trigger the operation by using a car key, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments, the predetermined time period may be a few minutes after the vehicle is unlocked, etc., and may be specifically set as needed. In some embodiments, the first target location is the real-time location of the target vehicle 130 each time it reports within the predetermined time period. The first target location may be the latitude and longitude of the target vehicle 130, or the street information of the target vehicle 130, etc.

[0059] The following describes a process for obtaining the first target position information of the target vehicle 130 within a predetermined period of time.

[0060] In some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 may be pre-installed with a positioning device that can locate the location of the target vehicle 130. The target vehicle 130 may determine the location located by the positioning device within a predetermined time period as the first target location of the target vehicle 130 within the predetermined time period.

[0061] In some other embodiments, user 140 can trigger the unlocking operation of target vehicle 130 by scanning the identification information on target vehicle 130 based on the terminal device used by user 140, and the terminal device has a positioning function and can locate the location information corresponding to the terminal device. Since the distance between the terminal device and the target vehicle 130 is less than the distance threshold, the target vehicle 130 can determine the location information corresponding to the terminal device within a predetermined time period as the first target location of the target vehicle 130 within the predetermined time period. It should be noted that at this time there is a communication connection between the terminal device and the target vehicle 130 to ensure that the target vehicle 130 can obtain the positioning information of the terminal device. The terminal device of user 140 can also provide user 140 with real-time vehicle use suggestions and a visual presentation of the vehicle use itinerary. For example, the display page of the terminal device of user 140 can display the road sections where the vehicle can be stopped during the use of the vehicle, etc.

[0062] In other embodiments, within a predetermined time period, the target vehicle 130 may transmit first candidate location information of the target vehicle 130 to the positioning assistance device 120, where the first candidate location is a location determined by a positioning device in the target vehicle 130. The positioning assistance device 120 may determine first target location information based on the first candidate location and a predetermined location verification algorithm, where the first target location information is more accurate and precise than the first candidate location information. The target vehicle 130 may receive the first target location information of the target vehicle 130 from the positioning assistance device 120.

[0063] At block 320 , the target vehicle 130 receives a frequency adjustment instruction from the control device 110 .

[0064] Figure 2 The process of the control device 110 determining whether to send a frequency adjustment instruction has been described in detail, and will not be repeated here.

[0065] In some embodiments, the frequency adjustment instruction indicates a second reporting frequency, wherein the second reporting frequency is less than the first reporting frequency.

[0066] In block 330 , the target vehicle 130 reports the second target position information of the target vehicle 130 to the control device 110 at the second reporting frequency based on the frequency adjustment instruction.

[0067] As an example, the frequency adjustment instruction may instruct the target vehicle 130 to reduce its reporting frequency of location information. That is, the control device 110 issues the frequency adjustment instruction to the target vehicle 130, so that the target vehicle 130 determines a second reporting frequency based on the received frequency adjustment instruction. In some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 may determine the second reporting frequency based on a preset frequency adjustment algorithm and the first reporting frequency.

[0068] As another example, the frequency adjustment instruction may indicate a specific reporting frequency of the target vehicle 130 for location information. In other words, the frequency adjustment instruction may directly indicate a second reporting frequency to be adjusted. Upon receiving the frequency adjustment instruction, the target vehicle 130 may directly determine the second reporting frequency based on the frequency adjustment instruction.

[0069] In some embodiments, after the target vehicle 130 determines the second reporting frequency, the target vehicle 130 may report the second target position information of the target vehicle 130 to the control device 110 at the second reporting frequency.

[0070] Figure 2 The process of the control device 110 determining whether to send a communication disconnection instruction to the target vehicle 130 based on the second target position information of the target vehicle 130 has been described above. The following describes the case where the control device 110 sends a communication disconnection instruction to the target vehicle 130.

[0071] To further reduce energy consumption of target vehicle 130, in some embodiments, target vehicle 130 receives a communication disconnection instruction from control device 110, wherein the communication disconnection instruction instructs target vehicle 130 to disconnect the communication connection with positioning assistance device 120. Based on the communication disconnection instruction, target vehicle 130 can disconnect the communication connection with positioning assistance device 120 to reduce energy consumption of target vehicle 130.

[0072] In order to ensure that the parking status of the target vehicle 130 can be accurately located, in some embodiments, in response to the user 140 locking the target vehicle 130, the target vehicle 130 can determine the third target parking position information of the target vehicle 130 based on the position information located by the positioning device.

[0073] In other embodiments, the target vehicle 130 can establish a communication connection between the target vehicle 130 and the positioning assistance device 120. The target vehicle 130 can send a second candidate location information of the target vehicle 130 to the positioning assistance device 120, where the second candidate location information is the location information determined by the positioning device of the target vehicle 130. After receiving the second candidate location information, the positioning assistance device 120 can determine a third target location of the target vehicle 130 based on the second candidate location information and a predetermined location verification algorithm. The positioning assistance device 120 sends this third location information to the target vehicle 130. The target vehicle 130 can receive the third target location information of the target vehicle 130 sent by the positioning assistance device 120. The target vehicle 130 sends the third target location information to the control device 110.

[0074] To avoid extra positioning workload caused by vehicle failure or when the user unlocks but does not use the target vehicle, in some embodiments, the target vehicle 130 can determine at least one of the acceleration state and tire rolling state of the target vehicle 130 within a predetermined period of time. The acceleration state can be determined based on the gravity sensor (G-sensor) of the target vehicle 130.

[0075] In some embodiments, after the target vehicle 130 is unlocked, for example, within a preset time period after unlocking, it can be determined whether the target vehicle 130 is in motion based on at least one of the acceleration of the target vehicle 130 within the predetermined time period and the tire rolling state. Specifically, if the acceleration is not zero and / or the tire rolling state is rolling, the target vehicle 130 can determine that the target vehicle 130 is in motion, and at this time it can be determined that the target vehicle 130 is not in a faulty state. The present disclosure can avoid the additional workload of positioning when the user unlocks but does not use the target vehicle or the target vehicle fails to use the vehicle (i.e., the second target position information of the target vehicle after the preset time period and the operations associated with the second target position information) and avoids its impact on data analysis accuracy by determining whether the target vehicle is in motion, and is more helpful for maintenance personnel to maintain the target vehicle.

[0076] In some embodiments, if the target vehicle 130 is in motion, the target vehicle 130 may perform operations after reporting the second target location information of the target vehicle 130 during vehicle use at the second reporting frequency. If the target vehicle 130 is not in motion, it indicates that the target vehicle 130 is in a fault state, and therefore the target vehicle 130 may not perform operations after reporting the second target location information of the target vehicle 130 during vehicle use at the second reporting frequency.

[0077] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the frequency of reporting position information of the target vehicle 130 can be lowered to effectively reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle and alleviate the workload of vehicle positioning.
