[0022] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0024] The following describes the vehicle alarm method, device, equipment, medium and program of the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 1 A flow chart of a vehicle alarm method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle alarm method includes the following steps:

[0027] In step S101 , the current state of the vehicle is acquired.

[0028] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can continuously obtain the current status of the vehicle, so that the system can promptly detect potential problems, effectively prevent major failures caused by minor problems not being handled in a timely manner, and ensure driving safety.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the current status of the vehicle, it includes: pre-storing the electronic manual corresponding to the alarm fault number in the cockpit domain controller, wherein the electronic manual contains fault handling countermeasures, basic information and associated failed components.

[0030] It can be understood that the pre-storage method in the embodiment of the present application reduces the dependence on external network connections. Even in the case of poor network conditions or no network coverage, it can ensure that users can obtain necessary fault details and response measures in a timely manner, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the system. When a fault actually occurs, the system can immediately call the corresponding information for display or broadcast without the need for temporary downloading or querying from a remote server, thereby greatly shortening the time for users to obtain detailed fault information and improving the system's work efficiency.

[0031] In step S102, if the current state meets the preset conditions, an alarm fault is triggered, and a corresponding alarm prompt is generated according to the alarm fault number of the current fault.

[0032] The alarm fault number includes an OBD fault code or a digital number, wherein the OBD fault code includes letters and numbers.

[0033] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can generate a corresponding alarm prompt based on the alarm number of the fault when a fault is detected, which not only improves the accuracy of the alarm, but also ensures that each alarm corresponds to a specific solution, avoiding the problem of unclear information in traditional alarm methods.

[0034] In step S103, the fault checking requirement of the user is identified, the alarm fault number of the target alarm fault is determined according to the fault checking requirement, and the corresponding instruction page in the corresponding electronic manual is retrieved according to the alarm fault number and presented to the user.

[0035] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the system recognizes the user's fault viewing needs, it can determine the number of the target alarm fault according to the user's actual needs, and quickly retrieve the corresponding electronic manual content to display it to the user, which greatly simplifies the process of users finding the cause and solution of the fault and improves the user experience.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the corresponding instruction page in the corresponding electronic manual is retrieved and presented to the user according to the alarm fault number, including: loading the content of the electronic manual for graphic display on the vehicle's display interface; converting the text content of the electronic manual into audio broadcast.

[0037] Among them, voice commands are triggered without wake-up words, and the broadcast priority is higher than graphic and text display.

[0038] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can display the specific information of the alarm fault in a combination of graphics and text. The user can not only intuitively see the fault icon and related text description, but also obtain detailed explanations and treatment countermeasures, and convert the text content in the electronic manual into voice broadcast, so that the driver can understand the fault details and recommended measures without having to divert his eyes to look at the screen, thereby improving driving safety and user driving experience.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, after the corresponding instruction page in the electronic manual is retrieved according to the alarm fault number and presented to the user, it includes: identifying whether there is a need to update the vehicle's alarm fault; if there is a need to update the vehicle's alarm fault, updating the electronic manual corresponding to the alarm fault through a vehicle upgrade.

[0040] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application can keep the content of the electronic manual updated, allowing users to always obtain the best user experience and helping to improve driving safety.

[0041] According to the vehicle alarm method proposed in the embodiment of the present application, by continuously obtaining the current status of the vehicle, the system can promptly discover potential problems and automatically trigger an alarm fault when the preset conditions are met. Once a fault is detected, the system will generate a corresponding alarm prompt based on the alarm number of the fault. When the system recognizes the user's fault viewing needs, it can determine the number of the target alarm fault based on the user's actual needs, and quickly retrieve the corresponding electronic manual content to display it to the user, greatly simplifying the process of users finding the cause and solution of the fault, and improving the user experience. The fault details and their handling measures are provided through graphic display and audio broadcast, so that the driver can understand the fault situation without staring at the screen for a long time, reducing the risk of traffic accidents due to distraction, and further enhancing driving safety.

[0042] The following will be combined Figure 2 The vehicle alarm method of this application is described in detail as follows:

[0043] (1) The car manufacturer compiles the countermeasures, basic information, and possible failure points of each alarm fault into an electronic manual in advance, names them according to the alarm fault number (which can be an OBD fault code or a digital number such as 1, 2, 3, etc.), presets these manuals into the system, and burns them into the cockpit domain control along with the system program.

[0044] The instruction manual is an electronic instruction manual in the format of PDF or HTML, which can be loaded and displayed by the software.

[0045] There are two different fault diagnosis systems on the vehicle: OBD and SPN / FMI. OBD is applicable to all vehicles that meet the standard, while SPN / FMI is mainly used for fault diagnosis of vehicles that meet the SAE standard. There can be tens of thousands of fault codes, but only a few dozen or a hundred may be reported on the domain controller. Other faults are displayed in a fault list.

[0046] Such as OBD fault code:

[0047] P0101: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor A Circuit Low

[0048] P0102: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor B Circuit Low

[0049] P0103: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor A Circuit High

[0050] P0104: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor B Circuit High

[0051] P0105: Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor A performance

[0052] P0106-Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor B Performance

[0053] Such as SPN and FMI:

[0054] (SPN:647,FMI:4): ECM / ECU communication failure

[0055] (SPN:101,FMI:16): High coolant temperature

[0056] (SPN1077, FMI:10): Engine emission problem

[0057] (SPN:1231,FMI:9): Oxygen sensor failure

[0058] (SPN3251, FMI:0): Urea quality is too low

[0059] (SPN:111,FMI:17): Low air pressure

[0060] The above fault codes can be set according to needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0061] (2) The cockpit domain control monitors alarm faults through different channels such as sensors, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, network communication, and I2C. Once an alarm fault is detected, an icon, pop-up window, and alarm sound will prompt the alarm fault, and the alarm fault will be recorded in the alarm fault list. The recorded information includes the OBD fault code or the digital number corresponding to the alarm fault. The OBD fault code is a code generated by the vehicle diagnostic system to indicate potential faults in various vehicle systems. These codes begin with a letter (such as P, B, C, etc.) and are followed by four digits. Common fault codes mainly involve the engine, emission system, sensors, and circuits.

[0062] (3) When an alarm fault is triggered, the user can say "view details" via voice without waking up, or actively click to enter the alarm fault page, click on a specific alarm fault item, and the system will adapt to the electronic manual with the same name according to the OBD fault code or digital number. The system will automatically jump to the description page corresponding to the alarm fault item and load the electronic manual for display. At the same time, the text of the description page will be obtained and played through voice TTS.

[0063] (4) If there are subsequent updates to the alarm faults, you only need to update the electronic manual file corresponding to the alarm fault and upgrade it along with the entire package.

[0064] In summary, in this application, if the instrument or central control alarm is triggered during driving, the user only needs to say "view details" through voice wake-up, or click to enter the alarm fault page, click on the specific alarm fault item, and the system will jump to display the description page corresponding to the alarm fault item (including the treatment measures, basic information, and possible related failed ECUs for the alarm fault), and at the same time obtain the text of the description page and play it through voice TTS. Through the preset alarm fault electronic manual, when an alarm fault is triggered while driving, the user can view the fault details through voice wake-up or the alarm fault page without viewing the screen, without having to understand the alarm fault. This greatly improves driving safety and greatly helps users understand the details of the alarm fault.

[0065] Next, the vehicle alarm device proposed according to the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 3 It is a block diagram of a vehicle alarm device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle alarm device 10 includes: an acquisition module 100 , a trigger module 200 and an identification module 300 .

[0068] Among them, the acquisition module 100 is used to obtain the current status of the vehicle; the trigger module 200 is used to trigger the alarm fault if the current status meets the preset conditions, and record the alarm fault number of the current fault to generate a corresponding alarm prompt; the identification module 300 is used to identify the user's fault viewing needs, determine the alarm fault number of the target alarm fault according to the fault viewing needs, and retrieve the corresponding instruction page in the corresponding electronic manual according to the alarm fault number and present it to the user.

[0069] According to the vehicle alarm device proposed in the embodiment of the present application, by continuously obtaining the current status of the vehicle, the system can promptly discover potential problems and automatically trigger an alarm fault when the preset conditions are met. Once a fault is detected, the system will generate a corresponding alarm prompt based on the alarm number of the fault. When the system recognizes the user's fault viewing needs, it can determine the number of the target alarm fault according to the user's actual needs, and quickly retrieve the corresponding electronic manual content to display it to the user, greatly simplifying the process of users finding the cause and solution of the fault, and improving the user experience. The fault details and their handling measures are provided through graphic display and audio broadcast, so that the driver can understand the fault situation without staring at the screen for a long time, reducing the risk of traffic accidents due to distraction, and further enhancing driving safety.

[0076] The memory 401 may include a high-speed RAM memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory (non-volatile memory), such as at least one disk memory.

[0077] If the memory 401, the processor 402, and the communication interface 403 are implemented independently, the communication interface 403, the memory 401, and the processor 402 can be connected to each other via a bus and communicate with each other. The bus can be an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus. The bus can be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 4 Only one thick line is used in the diagram, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0078] Optionally, in a specific implementation, if the memory 401, the processor 402 and the communication interface 403 are integrated on a chip, the memory 401, the processor 402 and the communication interface 403 can communicate with each other through an internal interface.
