[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0053] The vehicle unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, a SIM card 102 is provided in the terminal 101 and is connected to the terminal for communication. The terminal is also equipped with an NFC (Near Field Communication) module, and the SIM card 102 in the terminal 101 can communicate with an external device directly or indirectly using the NFC module.

[0054] Furthermore, terminal 101 can communicate with backend server 104 of target vehicle 103 via a network, and target vehicle 103 can also communicate with backend server 104 via a network. Terminal 101 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices can include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car-mounted devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can include smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. Backend server 104 can be implemented as a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a vehicle unlocking method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The SIM card 102 in the example is used as an example. It should be noted that the SIM card cannot be used alone. The SIM card is configured in the terminal and communicates with the terminal. The terminal needs to be equipped with an NFC module. Specifically, the vehicle unlocking method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps 210 to 240. Among them:

[0056] Step 210: When communication is established with the target vehicle via the NFC module, a permission verification request sent by the target vehicle is received.

[0057] For the embodiment of the present application, the target vehicle is equipped with an NFC card reader. When the terminal sets the data communication address of the NFC module to the address of the SIM card, data interaction can be achieved between the target vehicle and the SIM card through communication between the NFC module and the NFC card reader.

[0058] Specifically, the target vehicle's NFC reader acts as the active party, continuously generating a radio frequency electromagnetic field and actively polling and sending initialization commands generated by the target vehicle to detect whether there are any responsive NFC devices nearby. Of course, the NFC reader can also generate a radio frequency electromagnetic field and send initialization commands when an NFC device enters the communication range.

[0059] The NFC module of the terminal acts as the passive party. When the NFC module of the terminal is within the communication range of the NFC reader of the target vehicle, the NFC module obtains electrical energy through electromagnetic induction in the radio frequency electromagnetic field generated by the NFC reader to power itself.

[0060] The NFC module of the terminal receives an initialization command sent by the NFC reader. The initialization command requires the NFC module (which can also be a SIM card or terminal) to declare the protocol types it supports. The NFC module obtains protocol data representing the protocol type from a specified location and feeds it back to the NFC reader. The protocol data may include, but is not limited to, a universally unique identifier (UID) and / or a pre-configured application identifier (AID). After the NFC reader determines that the protocol type supported by the NFC module matches the preset type, the NFC reader and the NFC module establish communication between the target vehicle and the SIM card (or communication between the NFC reader and the NFC module).

[0061] When the target vehicle determines that the NFC reader has established communication with the external NFC device, it generates an authorization verification request and sends the authorization verification request to the NFC module of the terminal through the NFC reader. The NFC module sends the authorization verification request to the SIM card, which is then received by the SIM card.

[0062] Step 220: Retrieve target data in response to the authority verification request, and generate information to be verified based on the target data; the target data is obtained by the target vehicle interacting with its backend server, and is read by the NFC module and written to the SIM card.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, a processor and a memory are configured in the SIM card. The processor of the SIM card responds to the received permission verification request and then retrieves the target data pre-stored in the memory; the processor of the SIM card further generates information to be verified based on the target data.

[0064] Furthermore, the target data, as sensitive data that can be used to unlock the target vehicle, is configured on the target vehicle's backend server. The target vehicle communicates with the backend server via the network, requests the backend server to obtain the target data, and stores the obtained target data locally on the target vehicle. The target vehicle can be pre-configured to send the target data to the NFC device via the NFC reader when establishing communication with the NFC reader and an external NFC device. Therefore, when the NFC module of the terminal establishes communication with the card reader of the target vehicle, the target vehicle sends the target data via the NFC reader to the NFC module of the terminal, and the NFC module writes the target data to the SIM card.

[0065] Step 230: Send the information to be verified to the target vehicle, so that the target vehicle performs authority verification on the information to be verified and obtains a verification result for determining whether to generate an unlocking instruction; the unlocking instruction is used to unlock the target vehicle.

[0066] In this embodiment of the present application, the verification information generated by the SIM card is sent to the NFC card reader of the target vehicle via the terminal's NFC module. The target vehicle receives the verification information and performs permission verification on the verification information, thereby obtaining a verification result. If the verification result indicates that the vehicle has unlock permission, the target vehicle generates an unlock command. The unlock command is then used to control the vehicle lock device in the target vehicle to unlock the target vehicle.

[0067] Step 240: Receive the verification result fed back by the target vehicle.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the verification result of the information to be verified, the target vehicle sends the verification result to the NFC module of the terminal via the NFC card reader. The NFC module further sends the verification result to the SIM card, and the SIM card further sends the verification result to the terminal. The terminal parses the verification result and displays it accordingly; wherein the type of display may include, but is not limited to, animation display, text display, image display, or audio display. In addition, when the verification result indicates that the unlocking permission is granted or not granted, the corresponding display content is different, so as to provide a prominent prompt to the user of the terminal.

[0069] In the above-mentioned vehicle unlocking method, the SIM card can establish communication with the target vehicle using the NFC module of the terminal. The SIM card can respond to the permission verification request sent by the target vehicle, and then retrieve and generate information to be verified based on the pre-stored target data and send it to the target vehicle; and, when the verification result of the information to be verified indicates that it has the unlocking authority, the target vehicle can generate an unlocking instruction to unlock the target vehicle, so that the combination of the SIM card and the NFC module of the terminal can realize the function of the digital car key to unlock the target vehicle.

[0070] Furthermore, since the target data is written into the SIM card by the target vehicle through the NFC module of the terminal, that is to say, even if the terminal does not have a network, the target data for unlocking the target vehicle can still be written into the SIM card through the target vehicle; and, due to the characteristics of the SIM card and the terminal being connected for use, even if the user changes the terminal, as long as the user connects its corresponding SIM card to the new terminal and the new terminal is equipped with an NFC module, the function of the digital car key can also be realized by using the SIM card and the NFC module of the new terminal without the need for configuration data, thereby greatly improving the convenience of digital car key configuration.

[0071] Step 220 above discloses one method for writing target data from the target vehicle to the SIM card, using the target vehicle's NFC reader to interact with the terminal's NFC module. In fact, there is another method for writing target data to the SIM card. This method may also include: writing the target data sent by the terminal in response to a data write request sent by the terminal; the target data in the terminal is obtained by the terminal from the target vehicle's backend server.

[0072] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The operator provides access to the Super SIM card and provides it to the OEM in the form of an SDK for integration into the corresponding OEM app of the target vehicle, thereby opening up a data exchange channel between the OEM app and the Super SIM card. The Super SIM card's C6 pin supports the SWP protocol and can be connected to the NFC antenna of the terminal (such as a mobile phone). The OEM of the target vehicle opens up data exchange between the backend server (OEM server) and the OEM app, preventing key data from being disclosed externally. The backend server and the target vehicle continue to use the original interaction link without modification. The target vehicle's hardware remains unchanged and does not require modification. The NFC communication protocol supports ISO14443 Type A.

[0073] The terminal communicates with the backend server of the target vehicle through the network, and requests the target data for unlocking the target vehicle from the backend server; since the SIM card is communicated with the terminal, the terminal generates a write request to the SIM card based on the target data, and when the SIM card responds to the write request, the terminal writes the target data into the memory of the SIM card.

[0074] In one embodiment, in step 220, the process in which the SIM card generates the information to be verified based on the target data may specifically include: encrypting and / or signing a random number based on the target data to obtain the information to be verified.

[0075] Specifically, the target vehicle generates a random number and generates an authorization verification request based on the random number; that is, the authorization verification request sent by the target vehicle to the SIM card carries the random number generated by the target vehicle. When the SIM card receives the authorization verification request, it extracts the random number in the authorization verification request and retrieves the target data. The target data can be a string of secret keys or a digital certificate; further, when the target data is a secret key, the SIM card uses the target data to encrypt the random number and sends the encrypted data as the information to be verified to the target vehicle. When the target data is a digital certificate, the SIM card uses the target data to sign the random number and sends the signed data as the information to be verified to the target vehicle.

[0076] In one embodiment, Figure 4 The figure shows the schematic diagram of each link: 1. The C6 pin of the super SIM card supports the SWP protocol and can be connected to the NFC antenna through the terminal (such as a mobile phone); 2 and 3. The NFC communication protocol supports the ISO14443 Type A protocol to complete the issuance and interaction of instructions such as data writing and authentication; 4. The background server (OEM server) and the vehicle link continue to use the original interactive link without modification.

[0077] The target vehicle can be equipped with two NFC card readers, namely the first card reader and the second card reader; the first card reader is connected to the vehicle host, and the vehicle host communicates with the background server to obtain the target data and store it locally; the first card reader is used to send the target data stored in the vehicle host to the NFC module of the terminal that establishes communication with the first card reader, and the NFC module of the terminal writes the target data into the memory of the SIM card.

[0078] The second card reader is connected to a controller that controls whether the target vehicle is unlocked. The controller sends the authority verification information to the SIM card through the second card reader and the NFC module of the terminal; the SIM card generates information to be verified and sends the information to be verified to the controller through the NFC module of the terminal and the second card reader. The controller performs authority authentication based on the information to be verified and obtains a verification result; further, when the verification result indicates that the unlocking authority is obtained, the controller generates an unlocking command and sends it to the locking device that locks the target vehicle, thereby unlocking the target vehicle.

[0079] Furthermore, the unlocking instruction is at least used to unlock the door of the target vehicle, and of course it can also include activating the engine of the target vehicle, or even other preset functions such as adjusting the seats in the vehicle and / or turning on the lights; other preset functions can be pre-associated by the user; this is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5As shown, a vehicle unlocking method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The target vehicle 103 in the example is used as an example. It should be noted that the target vehicle is equipped with an NFC card reader. Specifically, the vehicle unlocking method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps 110 to 130. Among them:

[0081] Step 110 : When communication is established between the NFC module of the terminal and the SIM card connected to the terminal, an authorization verification request is generated and sent to the SIM card.

[0082] For the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal sets the data communication address of the NFC module to the address of the SIM card, data interaction can be achieved between the target vehicle and the SIM card through the communication between the NFC module and the NFC card reader. Specifically, the NFC card reader of the target vehicle acts as the active party, continuously generates a radio frequency electromagnetic field, and actively polls and sends the initialization instructions generated by the target vehicle to detect whether there is a responsive NFC device nearby. Of course, the NFC card reader can also generate a radio frequency electromagnetic field and send an initialization instruction when the NFC device enters the communicative range. The NFC module of the terminal acts as the passive party. When the NFC module of the terminal is within the communicative range of the NFC card reader close to the target vehicle, the NFC module obtains electrical energy through electromagnetic induction in the radio frequency electromagnetic field generated by the NFC card reader to power itself.

[0083] The NFC module of the terminal receives an initialization command sent by the NFC reader. The initialization command requires the NFC module (which can also be a SIM card or terminal) to declare the protocol types it supports. The NFC module obtains protocol data representing the protocol type from a specified location and feeds it back to the NFC reader. The protocol data may include, but is not limited to, a universally unique identifier (UID) and / or a pre-configured application identifier (AID). After the NFC reader determines that the protocol type supported by the NFC module matches the preset type, the NFC reader and the NFC module establish communication between the target vehicle and the SIM card (or communication between the NFC reader and the NFC module).

[0084] When the target vehicle determines that the NFC reader has established communication with the external NFC device, it generates a random number based on a preset random number generation algorithm and generates a permission verification request based on the random number; further, the target vehicle sends the permission verification request to the NFC module of the terminal through the NFC reader, and the NFC module sends the permission verification request to the SIM card.

[0085] Step 120: Receive the information to be verified fed back by the SIM card, perform authority verification on the information to be verified, and obtain a verification result used to determine whether to generate an unlock instruction; wherein, the information to be verified is generated by the SIM card in response to the authority verification request and based on the retrieved target data; the target data is obtained by the target vehicle and its backend server through interaction and written to the SIM card through the NFC module; the unlock instruction is used to unlock the target vehicle.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the SIM card is configured with a processor and memory. The SIM card processor responds to a received permission verification request and then retrieves the target data pre-stored in the memory. The SIM card processor further generates information to be verified based on the target data. Furthermore, the SIM card transmits the information to be verified to the target vehicle via the NFC module and NFC card reader. The target vehicle performs permission verification on the received information to be verified.

[0087] The verification information generated by the SIM card is sent to the NFC reader via the terminal's NFC module, where it is then retrieved by the target vehicle. The target vehicle then verifies the verification information and obtains a verification result. If the verification result indicates unlocking permission, the target vehicle generates an unlock command, which is then used to control the vehicle's locking device to unlock the target vehicle.

[0088] Furthermore, the target data is sensitive data that can be used to unlock the target vehicle and is configured on the backend server of the target vehicle. As a way to write the target data to the SIM card: the target vehicle communicates with the backend server through the network, the target vehicle requests the backend server to obtain the target data, and stores the obtained target data locally in the target vehicle. The target vehicle can be pre-configured to send the target data to the NFC device through the NFC card reader when establishing communication with the NFC card reader and the external NFC device. Therefore, when the NFC module of the terminal establishes communication with the card reader of the target vehicle, the target vehicle sends the target data to the NFC module of the terminal through the NFC card reader, and the NFC module writes the target data into the SIM card.

[0089] Step 130: Feedback the verification result to the SIM card.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the verification result of the information to be verified, the target vehicle sends the verification result to the NFC module of the terminal via the NFC card reader. The NFC module further sends the verification result to the SIM card, and the SIM card further sends the verification result to the terminal. The terminal parses the verification result and displays it accordingly; wherein the type of display may include, but is not limited to, animation display, text display, image display, or audio display. In addition, when the verification result indicates that the unlocking permission is granted or not granted, the corresponding display content is different, so as to provide a prominent prompt to the user of the terminal.

[0091] In the above-mentioned vehicle unlocking method, the SIM card can establish communication with the target vehicle using the NFC module of the terminal. The SIM card can respond to the permission verification request sent by the target vehicle, and then retrieve and generate information to be verified based on the pre-stored target data and send it to the target vehicle; and, when the verification result of the information to be verified indicates that it has the unlocking authority, the target vehicle can generate an unlocking instruction to unlock the target vehicle, so that the combination of the SIM card and the NFC module of the terminal can realize the function of the digital car key to unlock the target vehicle.

[0092] Furthermore, since the target data is written into the SIM card by the target vehicle through the NFC module of the terminal, that is to say, even if the terminal does not have a network, the target data for unlocking the target vehicle can still be written into the SIM card through the target vehicle; and, since the SIM card needs to be connected to the terminal for use, even if the user changes the terminal, as long as the user connects its corresponding SIM card to the new terminal and the new terminal is equipped with an NFC module, the function of the digital car key can also be realized by using the SIM card and the NFC module of the new terminal without the need for configuration data, thereby greatly improving the convenience of digital car key configuration.

[0093] In one embodiment, as another way of writing target data to a SIM card: a terminal communicates with a backend server of a target vehicle through a network, and the terminal requests from the backend server target data for unlocking the target vehicle; since the SIM card is communicatively connected to the terminal, the terminal generates a write request to the SIM card based on the target data, and the SIM card writes the target data sent by the terminal in response to the data write request sent by the terminal.

[0094] Furthermore, the unlocking instruction is at least used to unlock the door of the target vehicle, and of course it can also include activating the engine of the target vehicle, or even other preset functions such as adjusting the seats in the vehicle and / or turning on the lights; other preset functions can be pre-associated by the user; this is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0095] Furthermore, the SIM card in the embodiment of the present application is a super SIM card, and the software of the super SIM card is configured with a digital car key application; the chip of the super SIM card has a high security level, and its operating system (OS) is designed based on JAVACARD and Global Platform security architecture, so that the super SIM card can act as an SE (Secure Element) chip to carry and calculate the sensitive data (target data) of the digital car key.

[0096] In related technologies, the conventional solution is to write the target data used to unlock the target vehicle into the SE chip built into the terminal. However, the access rights to the SE chip built into the mobile phone need to be obtained through authorization signed with each mobile phone manufacturer. Since there are many mobile phone brands and many car manufacturers, in order to universally promote the digital car key function of the terminal, multiple mobile phone manufacturers and multiple car manufacturers are required to adapt. The reality is that the time and cost of signing contracts one by one are extremely high, and the architecture and security mechanism of SE of different mobile phone manufacturers are also different. Therefore, after signing the contract, a lot of resources need to be invested in testing and debugging the integration of the car key function.

[0097] Terminal devices such as mobile phones, watches and tablets have become essential electronic devices for people's lives and travel, and these electronic devices all require SIM cards to provide network access and communication services; therefore, through the vehicle unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the target data for unlocking the vehicle is stored in the SIM card. Only the car manufacturers and the SIM card operators need to adapt to realize the function of the digital car key through the terminal, which has great convenience and promotional practicality.

[0098] In the present application, the embodiment of the vehicle unlocking method applied to a SIM card and the embodiment of the vehicle unlocking method applied to a vehicle are two corresponding embodiments; therefore, the above-mentioned limitations on the SIM card, target vehicle, terminal and server in the embodiment of the vehicle unlocking method applied to a SIM card are also applicable to the SIM card, target vehicle, terminal and server in the embodiment of the vehicle unlocking method applied to a vehicle, and no further details are given here.
